Summary
Pre-AC, after the start of the Geostigma crisis. Cloud is traveling around the continent, searching for some way to cure Denzel (and himself), and hiding from the demons of his past. As he explores the ruins of an old Shinra lab in Junon, he’s hit with a bad wave from the stigma. He passes out, and when he awakens, he finds himself still in the lab...but it’s a working lab, in an alternate Gaia where the events of his world never came to pass.
Cloud is captured by Hojo for the second time in his life. Luckily, the Cloud Strife of this Gaia is a SOLDIER, and is sent to Junon on a mission with Zack. They save the injured and comatose Cloud and bring him to Midgar, where Shinra arrives at the conclusion that since his DNA matches Cloud, Zack, and Sephiroth, he must be the product of an experiment to create a super SOLDIER with their genes.
Some would call this man a clone.
Zack prefers the term "son".

Summary
Bilbo never got along with the other hobbits after his parents died, and is one of the rare hobbits to be completely disowned by his jealous kin. When he joins Thorin's Company on their mad quest, he finds himself welcoming the sense of inclusion that accompanies this band of dwarves (some more welcoming than others). What he doesn't expect is the ancient occurrence of Adapting to take effect - in which one cast out from their own race adapts to fit the race that has accepted them! Now, not only must Bilbo face up to orcs and dragons, he must also come to terms with his new family and learn what it means to be a dwarf, and a Durin no less.

Summary
A series of non-canon fluff pieces set in the same universe as my fic the lightning that preceded it struck no one but myself, with the addition of AimeeLouWrites' Cloud from her fic The Adversary Fell, Like Lightning From the Heavens. Both of those fics are required reading for these drabbles to make any sense.
Lots of Clouds ahead, and they all need hugs! Inspired by chats on my Lighting Verse discord, which you are welcome to join (and lurk, comment, prompt more fluff drabbles, whatever) here: https://discord.gg/cTCTzqPdtA

Summary
Cloud Strife is not here for time travel nonsense, but regardless, he's trapped in the past and has to make the best of it. Perhaps if he kills enough people (aka Hojo) and destroys enough mako reactors, he stands a chance at saving the future.
Unfortunately, he underestimated just how determined Zack, Genesis, Angeal, and Sephiroth are to bring him into the fold. When they capture him outside of Nibelheim, he discovers they intend to learn his secrets and turn him into their apprentice. Cloud has no intention of making this easy - but maybe, just maybe, he'll find a home anyway.

Summary
Cloud could hardly breathe. He heard the words coming out of Sephiroth’s mouth, but they didn’t feel real. Half an hour ago, Cloud was screwing around with materia in the gym, and now he was being offered a permanent lifelong contract as Sephiroth’s right hand.
“The choice is easy, sir,” he said, looking resolute. “I want to be yours.”

Summary
Aaron Burr is a genius law student studying under the prestigious Dr. George Washington. Coincidentally, Alexander Hamilton is too. Alex seems to have everything Aaron doesn't - friends, happiness, Dr. Washington's attention and highly coveted TA position - while Aaron's life just keeps getting progressively worse and worse.
To top it off, Aaron thinks he even likes Alex, just a little bit. But Aaron only knows how to shut people out and suffer in silence, even when he's horribly ill. Can Alex and the Hamilsquad show him he doesn't have to always be alone?

Summary
Aaron Burr has been in the foster care system since he was 2 years old. Separated from his sister and passed around from foster home to foster home, nothing in his life makes him happy. He's spent the last two years at Yorktown High, and life there sucks just as much as it did everywhere else - he's friendless, he's lonely, and he just got placed in a horrible new home. And then a new kid transfers in, the newly-adopted son of Principal Washington: one Alexander Hamilton.
Everything's about to turn around for Aaron, he just doesn't know it yet.
