I like time travel fix its because they are the biggest "what if" stories you can do. However, it makes me sad when authors abandon meaty, world-changing plotty things for UST (or not so UST). So this is my take on the genre.

Story summary: Cloud made it to Midgar. He even joined Shinra’s army, but there he stopped. He didn’t kill Sephiroth, and Hojo never knew he existed. He did his tour and got out.
He settled into life under the plate, earning gil through odd jobs and scrounging the hills around Midgar for anything he could sell – mostly scales and claws from the monsters that attacked him.
On this particular day, it wasn't a monster he found, but a shot-to-hell SOLDIER who wasn’t quite dead.
Chapter 1: Luck Warks In
Cloud waited for the army to leave before heading to the cliff edge.
