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.

Fanfic: Goodbye Hero [1/?]
Sep. 7th, 2020 10:33 ametrixanTitle: 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.

Characters: Cloud's mother, Cloud, mentions of AVALANCHE.
Rating: PG
Status: One-shot. Complete.
Notes: OGC, canon-divergence. I go with Claudia Strauss regarding Cloud's mother's name (from that one concept art).
Summary: Her nightmares were the image of her boy, shame in his eyes as he told her that he didn't make it, couldn't achieve his dream, and her not being able to speak, comfort him. Her nightmares were her son taken away from her embrace by something she couldn't even remember or name. Her nightmares were this.

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.
