    Summary

    Cloud doesn't know why the God of Destruction demands for sacrifices, nor does he care. He just wants to drag him off his throne, and possibly make sure he can never hurt anyone else.
    It's quite hard to follow through with his goal. Partially because killing a god is a lot harder than Cloud expected, and partially because it turns out maybe Sephiroth wasn't so keen on hurting people as Cloud had assumed.

    Summary

    Gaia can't be saved, Jenova's poison too far reaching and Sephiroth tied too closely to her Chosen One. Unable to break that bond, she chooses to steer into it. She completes their bond fully and sends Cloud back in time. This time, if one is killed, the other is halved. Cloud can work with that.

    Sephiroth gains knowledge of this bond in vague dreams. A blonde warrior who is a sight to behold, but whose death would mean his own. If he is real, he must protect him at all costs.

    Too bad nobody told Cloud what Sephiroth wants.

    Or; that one time-travel fic where Cloud is just trying to save Gaia whilst avoiding Sephiroth until last. Sephiroth is just trying to find and protect the blonde warrior whose life is inexplicably tied to his own.

    Summary

    Gloved hands gripped tightly at the armrests of his chair, leather creaking as he tensed for a fight he no longer understood the rules for. His pulse thrummed loudly in his ears while a representative at the head of the table went on about the quarterly budget, flowery excuses made for the more lavish expenditures in the report.

    She was not with him.

    He sat there and he could not feel Her no matter how far he reached for Her residual warmth, a stagnant void where She had once taken residence in his head and flowed freely through his veins. The very reason for why his heart still beats was simply gone, leaving him with nothing but disorientation and a slow-broiling rage to fill its place.

    His Mother’s voice was not among the buzzing chatter of insects that filled this room.

    ---
    Sephiroth, who is still under Jenova’s influence and currently not in the best mindset for anything regarding the Planet’s wellbeing, is the one that will have to change fate for the better.

    AKA This is a FF7 time travel fix-it, but Jenova is one hell of a drug.

    Summary

    At Dawn

    The final battle against Jenova goes in an unexpected direction, and we end up on a road trip with ✨dramatic Cetra magic✨, pining, soul-searching (literally), and two of our favourite dreadful communicators trying to make things work. COMPLETE.

    Sunrise Stories

    An ongoing series of shorter stories set in the At Dawn universe, but that lie outside the arc of the main fic for one reason or another. I plan to experiment more with tone and genre, and will be tagging relatively comprehensively so you can take or leave what you like!

    I will note in the summary when they work standalone as a couple may only make sense in the wider universe.

    Posted with sincere apologies to e.e. cummings for the titles. It’s a nod to experimental writing and certain types of symbolism that I have always loved stealing, but also a poem I have come back to over and over during the course of my life, and which I have, as with many things, convinced myself could be about sefikura. (I mean, a poet whose oeuvre revolves around love, death, war, eroticism, nature, and the season of rebirth...you could reach further.)
