Title: Goodbye Hero
Rating: M
Pairings (so far): Zack/Aerith; Cloud/Andrea Rhodea
Word count: ~ 7k in this chapter:
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.

Rating: R

( Sephiroth struggles with the meaning of captivity and freedom, for a lab specimen and for himself. )

Author: Guede Mazaka
Rating: NC-17. BDSM, d/s, sex toys, inappropriate use of Reno’s rod.
Pairing: Cloud/Vincent Valentine, Cloud/Tseng, Cloud/Sephiroth, Cloud/Rufus Shinra, Cloud/Lazard Deusericus, Cloud/Reno, Cloud/Genesis Rhapsodos, Cloud/Angeal Hewley. Maybe a hint of Aeris/Tifa and Aeris/Elena, if you don’t blink.
Wordcount: 32,000 words
Feedback: Good lines, typos, etc.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes: Crackfic time-travel satire AU. I mean, Cloud gets a harem. For serious.
Summary: Jaded time-traveler Cloud pops into a really alternate universe.

![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Author: Guede Mazaka
Rating: NC-17. More for violence than for sex, although there’s both. Torture, rough sex, dubious consent.
Pairing: Permutations of Cloud Strife/Sephiroth/Genesis Rhapsodos/Angeal Hewley, Tifa Lockhart/Aeris Gainsborough, Tifa/Elena. Implied combinations of Rufus Shinra, Lazard Deusericus, Vincent Valentine, and various Turks.
Word count: 73,300 (complete)
Feedback: Good lines, typos, whatever.
Disclaimer: These characters do not belong to me.
Notes: Fantasy AU. Technology level is around the late Renaissance. I’ve never played the games (so thank you, FF7 Wiki). Historically, a “march” was a militarized borderland, fortified with its ownership highly contested by the two neighboring territories.
Summary: Cloud and Tifa are in the middle of cleaning up an evil sorcerer when they find three men in the basement. Things go downhill from there.

Word Count: 82,867
Completed or In Progress: Complete
Summary: That Aeris Gainsborough liked her was never in doubt in Tifa's mind, but she did not anticipate the extent of it and how her own feelings would develop as they traveled the world. An alternate universe re-working of the Final Fantasy VII story.

So, now I continue to post Dain af Niohoggr.
Title: Dain af Niohoggr
Pairings: Sort of a lazy pile of people, including Cloud, Sephiroth, Zack, Vincent, Chaos, Aeris.
Rating:PG-13
Warnings: Massive, MASSIVE AU time. I'll provide links to the rest of the fic up to this point as well. Also: implications of incest, though not really in your face.
Disclaimer: Not mine, though Mercverse is a shiny thing I love playing with.
Word Count: 2,152
Completed or In Progress: Very much in progress.
Summary: In a world where demons and immortals are not something looked at too funny, the rise of an old evil wakes up old alliances and fear. So guess who gets to deal with it? At least Cloud is getting paid for this.
Author's Notes: As I said, this is a massive AU project that I tossed out for others to play in, then decided to work the plot bunny of doom I had into it. Few notes, just so you know the basics: Cloud is an immortal, Zack was a kid he picked up and made a nominal "heir" so Court would shut up. Vincent and Chaos are half demon brothers, and Sephiroth is a mage who would rather play mercenary than deal with his father.
What is posted up to this point: Fic till now here
