I never noticed before that in kids' room in Advent Children there's a drawing of Cloud and Tifa on the wall. Marlene or Denzel drew this.
And look at Cloud being all grumpy and Tifa smiling. This is so cute 🥰

This Time I'll Call
⏤ Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
⏤ AU, Angst with a happy ending, Cloud Strife/Genesis Rhapsodos, grief, feelings of guilt, major character death but the characters are already dead.
⏤ WC: 1620
⏤ Genesis’s coping method these days include a phone number that no longer exists.
⏤ My writing is extremely wonky in this because I’m getting over yet another wave of writer’s block, but I cried to Yellow by Coldplay while thinking of this and now you get to feel my pain too :,)
Tumblr media
The shutter of the camera echoed faintly across the vacant parking lot. It flashed, capturing the moment in color, but never in its full glory. It’s what Genesis found the most annoying about photography.
Photos never did beautiful scenery justice, and certainly not the infamous, golden sunset over Midgar’s ruins.
The sunlight would streak through broken glass and make the red dirt glow. Every dust particle became glitter, the piles of metal and rock were painted orange and yellow, and the decrepit buildings would soak up life in each sun ray, giving them the illusion of their prior glory, when Midgar was still a bustling metropolis. 
Genesis lowered the camera, then unslung the strap from around his neck. Angeal would always have them pose in the scenery after he’d taken the picture.
He said he liked to capture both the place and the people he was with, who were almost always Genesis and Sephiroth. 
He’d always bark orders at them, telling one to sling his arm over the other, or nagging Sephiroth to smile. Cracking a joke always worked. Sephiroth would always laugh at Angeal’s jokes. 
Sephiroth’s laugh was comically deep, a phenomenon that never failed to make Genesis himself laugh. Soon enough the two would be laughing and Angeal would snap the photo.
Genesis laughed quietly at the memory, then stuffed the camera in his open bag. 
It was a rooftop parking lot in one of the few skyscrapers that still stood. The hollow chill of the mid-autumn air magnified every sound tenfold, making the wind that whistled through cracks in the concrete sound like ghostly screams.
Genesis slung his legs over the barrier, sitting right on the edge of the drop. Then he reached across and pulled the bag closer to him. He fished around until he found his phone.
Genesis wasn’t delusional, don’t get him wrong. He knew dialing a dead man’s number was nothing but metaphorically picking at a wound. 
But it wasn’t like it was a daily bout of mania. It was only once every few months, a tradition of sorts. 
Each key he pressed emitted a small beep as he dialed the number. It went as it always did. He’d press the phone to his ear, his heart nearly tearing a hole through his chest, then wait for the electronic voice. 
“We're sorry. You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.”
“Hey ‘Geal, it’s Genesis!” He forced the words out no matter how much his voice trembled. “Guess where I am right now? Midgar. Well, what’s left of it at least.” In a low tone, he added: “You can thank Seph for that.” 
Genesis fixed his eyes on the ruins below. The breeze raked through his hair before he ran his own hand through it. “So…It was my birthday last week. Thirty-four. That’s a big age.”
He rolled his eyes. “Remember when Director Lazard turned thirty-four and refused to let us throw him an office party, but we did so anyway? Yeah, now I know how he felt.” 
Genesis crossed his legs. “Can you believe the little shits threw me a party? Behind my back too. I walked into the bar and was met with a giant banner that read Gen’s 34th. Ugh. I would’ve left immediately if the kids didn’t look so happy.”
He paused, then huffed. “Marlene ate so much cake she got that crazed cat look in her eyes, you know, the one Seph used to get when he ate too much sugar?” 
Genesis coughed, trying to hide his laughter. “And Cid—Captain Highwind, you’ve heard of him—he kept egging Tifa on, saying she couldn’t handle her liquor until she caved and beat him in a drinking competition.” 
This time he did laugh, heartily as the memory replayed in his mind’s eye. 
“She claimed she was only a little tipsy, but couldn’t mix one drink for the rest of the night. I took over, of course. I missed playing bartender. I still help out there some nights when the bar’s too packed, not that I have much time for that anymore.” 
Genesis leaned over and braced his head in his hand. “The WRO and Reeve keep me pretty busy…Something I’d never thought I’d say. Oh! And I’m a writer now! An officially published author!”
He couldn’t keep himself from giggling childishly. He was alone after all, with not one Barret Wallace to tease him for his laugh in sight. “It’s a part of a project the WRO’s working on. I’m under a pseudonym, of course, and instead waxing poetic about LOVELESS themes, I’m writing about The Cetra.” 
He smirked, tracing the cracks in the concrete with his free hand. “Can you believe I did it all? SOLDIER, wanted war criminal, presumed dead man and now I’m a writer. At least that’s how Yuffie phrases it.”
Genesis sat up straight, then shielded his eyes from the sunlight. “Speaking of Yuffie and LOVELESS, they’re making a new blockbuster action franchise based on LOVELESS. I watched the first movie last week with Cloud, Yuffie, and Vincent. I think I’m starting to grow on her. She can finally stand to be in the same room as me instead of attempting to kill me.” 
He sighed. “She has guts. Reminds me of myself at that age.” There was a pause before he added: “Firaga skills included, by the way…She nearly set Cid’s head on fire when he dared her to light his cigarette with materia.”
He stretched, stifling a yawn. “And then there’s Cloud.”
Genesis felt his heartstrings tighten at the thought of him. His lips subconsciously stretched into a smile.
“We’re doing well, taking it slowly…If him sleeping in my apartment during weekends is slow.” He shook his head. “I like him. A lot. And he likes me too, which is…Something I never thought I’d have the privilege of saying.” 
The sun dipped more into the horizon with each passing minute. “Angeal…Have you ever felt guilty? And I mean truly guilty? Because I do all the time. Cloud says it’s me developing a conscience after, quote, years of being an asshole.”
He swallowed hard. “I don’t know. Sometimes I feel seriously undeserving of the things I have, of the job I have after deserting SOLDIER, the friends I’ve made after I lead you….”
The phone nearly slipped from his weakened hand, but Genesis pressed it harder to his ear. He felt the sharp pierce to his nose, the pain that preceded the tears. He bit his lip harshly enough to taste the metallic pang of blood on his tongue. 
“After I lead you to your death.” 
The phone rang. Genesis paled, eyes shooting open as he jerked his hand away. The smidgen of hope that pricked his nerves became a childish reflex once he saw the name. 
Cloud flashed across the screen, right above the picture Genesis had taken of him in Kalm a few months ago, the one where he’s smiling while holding a Chocobo chick. 
He wiped away the stray tear from his cheek, then cleared his throat. 
“Hi—”
“Are you still in Midgar?” Cloud’s voice sounded from over the phone before Genesis could greet him.
Genesis sighed, then felt his body deflate as his shoulders dropped. “I am, why?” He scoffed in a mocking tone. “Miss me?” 
He could practically feel Cloud roll his eyes from the other end. 
“Full of yourself much?”
Genesis shrugged. “Not fuller than you, dearest.” 
“Gen!” Cloud sputtered, no doubt blushing while Genesis laughed uncontrollably. He groaned. “Look, if we’re late again, Tifa’s gonna freak. I’m coming to pick you up.” 
Genesis slipped from the barrier, standing up. “No need. As much as I love—”
“Genesis if you say ‘riding you’ I’m hanging up.”
“Riding with you!” Genesis corrected him with a smirk. “I need to stretch my wings a bit more. Besides, it’s quicker.” 
“You sure? I don’t like letting you fly at night.” 
Genesis smiled, leaning on the barrier. “You worry too much, Strife.”
“Because you’re a hazard to yourself and others, Rhapsodos.”
Genesis scoffed. “I’ll be there in a bit. I need to get started on that dumbapple pie, anyway, or else Marlene will have my head. I promised I’d bake her one weeks ago.”
“Alright,” Cloud said. “Call me if you change your mind. And stop flying if you get a wing cramp on the way, got it?” 
“Fine, fine,” Genesis waved his hand dismissively. “I’ll see you in a bit.”
Once they had said their goodbyes, Genesis pulled the phone away from his ear and stared at it. A trembling sigh reverberated through his chest. Then, he put the phone up to his ear again.
“I have to go now, ‘Geal.” Genesis pressed his lips together as if it would stop the words from spilling out. “I miss you, old friend. I miss you more than the richest words could express.” He sighed. “Say hi to the puppy for me. And tell him Cloud sends his love.”
He gathered up his things, then slung the bag over his shoulder. “While you’re at it, give Sephiroth a good kick in the shins for me, will you?” Genesis smiled, but he didn’t notice it. “And tell him I miss him too. Terribly.” 
Genesis inched the phone away from his face, paused, and then put it to his ear again. “Before I go, it should come as no surprise to you but…”
He sighed, letting his shoulders deflate as the weighted emotions rolled off of them. 
“Three friends go into battle. One is captured. One flies away. The one that is left….” 
As Genesis began to walk away, he looked at the sunset one last time. 
“Lives to tell the tale.”

The Remnants (Kadaj, Yazoo, Loz) incorrect quotes
Yazoo: If I fall down these stairs, I'm just going to lay down and accept my fate.
Yazoo: You know, Kadaj, you are the sun in my life. Kadaj: Why? Cause I'm smoking hot? Yazoo: Because it hurts my eyes looking at you.
Yazoo: Why is there blood everywhere? Loz: I may have aggressively poked someone with a knife. Yazoo: You stabbed someone?! Loz: No, no. I aggressively poked someone with a knife.
Loz: I type how I think. Kadaj: Odd that you type at all then.
Loz: I’m not being weird. Am I being weird? Yazoo: Yes, and that’s coming from me.
Kadaj: Met a dumbass today. Awful. Yazoo: You looked in a mirror? Kadaj: Someday you will have to answer for your actions and God may not be so merciful.
Yazoo: Can you pass the salt? Kadaj: Can you pass away? Yazoo: Too much salt.
Kadaj: Do dragons fart fire? Yazoo: I don't know. Kadaj: I thought you went to college.
Loz, watching power lines fall down: Yazoo, Kadaj! The town is exploding and it's very pretty!
Loz: How would you like your coffee? Kadaj: As dark as my soul. Loz: Got it, one cup of milk coming right up!
Yazoo: Oh, so when crows remember people who wronged them and hold grudges, its “intelligent” and “really cool”. Yazoo: But when I do it, I’m “petty” and “need to let it go”.
Kadaj: Takes a sip of milk and gags Kadaj: Oh my god, is this expired? Kadaj: Takes another sip of milk
Loz: Knock, knock. Yazoo: Who's there? Loz: Boo! Yazoo: Boo who? Loz: Why are you crying? Yazoo: I'm not crying. Loz: Hello notcrying, I'm Loz.
Kadaj: Holy shit, Yazoo, do you know what this means?! Yazoo: Kid, whenever you start doing this, nobody knows what you mean.
Loz: Okay, if we can't do it by sheer force, we'll do it my way. Yazoo: But your way is sheer force!

Final Fantasy VII Reunion in Diabolik Lovers
Sakurai Takahiro as Cloud Strife and Mukami Ruki
Morikawa Toshiyuki as Sephiroth and Tsukinami Carla
Morikubo Showtaro as Kadaj and Tsukinami Shin
(Morikubo and Morikawa basically played brothers in Advent Children...)
As a kind of Morikubo-san loyalist (and since Shin is basically just Hakuoki’s Okita in the Dialovers universe), I find it so unfair that Shin’s route has scenes in it where literal Sephiroth moans in your ear... How are you supposed to feel bad for Shin in that situation? ^^’

Au: Cloud has to take care and raise toddler remnants 😆
Send me an AU and I'll give you 5+ headcanons about it
1. Cloud was sure Aerith's healing rain was supposed to send them back to the Lifestream, to dissolve them and return their forms to the free-flowing strands they once originated from. But they did not. Instead they shrunk, and shrunk, and shrunk, until suddenly instead of whisking away green into the sky, a chubby-cheeked remnant toddler lays in his hands. And two more laid on the ground a few feet away from him. Unsure of what to do, for the time being, Cloud brought them back to Seventh Heaven.
2. The remnants would not vanish. They were stuck here with them now as toddlers. But at least they weren't hellbent on killing anything anymore. (Merely hellbent on turning Seventh Heaven upside-down and giving everyone inside headaches from their antics). Kadaj remained the leader of the others, standing tall and proud at 4 and a half (anything older or younger would get a very loud protest). He got into everything he could, ran with sharp objects, and threw the poutiest tantrums. Yazoo stood in the middle right at 4 and was the quietest out of the brood. He got involved in some high-strung incidents with his brothers, but was main the most level-headed. He was still prone to fits and pouts however. But Cloud was lucky a good book could calm him down. And Loz stood wobbly at 3, having the most energy and getting into the most trouble. Constantly running around, jumping off furniture, screaming and shouting, and throwing himself to the ground when things didn't go his way, crying the longest and loudest out of the three.
3. It was hard and awkward to get used to. After all the trouble they caused, half the time Cloud wanted to wad up a newspaper and smack their noses like dogs. Marlene and Denzel were a little wary at first but grew the fastest to accept them as part of their crazy family. They saved Cloud and Tifa from a lot of headaches and threats, they'll say that much. After a while, they ended up becoming part of the Strife's.
4. Aerith visited Cloud in his dreams one night and asked how he was handling the new additions. He asked her why they didn't rejoin the Lifestream, but she just smiled and shrugged, 'Guess they're still really attached to their big brother.' Zack was with her and smiled as well. 'You're just a really popular guy, Cloud. And don't worry, we'll save places for all of you eventually.' He rolled his eyes at both of them, but he couldn't stop himself from smiling.
5. Getting the party reintroduced to the remnants as toddlers and not as world-ending antagonists took some adjustment as well. But the ended up coming around with their own stipulations. Cid was 'don't let those brats touch anything in my ship and we're cool' Vincent didn't say much, but if he wanted space from them he'd give him his phone and let them play centipede on it. Yuffie said 'stay away from my materia, unless we're up to something together then they can use it, because it's more fun that way!' Red XIII did not enjoy becoming a furry taxi to the three toddlers, but he was okay with it as well as some good-natured pets every once in a while so long as they didn't call him a dog. Barret took the longest to adjust as they had put Marlene in danger before, but when figuring out they turned into regular, crazy toddlers, warmed up to them much easier. Cait sith preferred to keep his distance from them based off that one time when the kids fought over who could play with him and nearly ripped him into three uneven pieces. But he didn't mind them aside from that he supposed. (He much preferred Marlene's tea parties though.)

Hmmm you might be right about the cloud and Tifa bit. Well given Zacks trying to find Aerith. Maybe then it might conclude when Aerith dies and they turn up again at the end.
Ohhh I Dont know 🙈
I can't see them doing AC but the might do!? They've thrown me right off with the CC remake
There's definitely something sus with those two so it'll be fun finding it out.
I have three copies of AC, but I'd still buy another if they remastered it with the new VAs and added a few new scenes ❤️

Zack: So what if it looks hopeless? If it were me, I still wouldn’t give up.

Aerith: But...that's no excuse to give up. I don't wanna look back one day...and wish I'd done it different. Right here, right now, I need to know I did everything I could.
Advent Children Complete (Zack Fair to Cloud Strife) and Final Fantasy VII Remake (Aerith Gainsborough to Wedge) parallels.

hang on.
ffviiac is 2 years after the end of ffvii
ffvii canonically has 4 or 5 years between the present day and when zack was around
and when zack was around, sephiroth was in his early 20s
but sephiroth earned his fame about 10 years before that as the "hero of wutai" (yikes)
so thats about 17 years of play, right?
and even then, having 10 or 12 years from when sephiroth was 16 and joined by genesis and angeal would match up to...
the children who have geostigma in ffviiac are all 12 years or younger. many of them had mako-radiant parents, if their parents werent directly SOLDIERs themselves
