Summary
"There is an ocean of silence between us… and I am drowning in it."
― Ranata SuzukiKeeping his hand still gripped on the boot, Zack meets Cloud’s glare, defiant and determined, “And I meant it when I said to let me make you my responsibility.”
“I don’t want to be your responsibility,” Cloud snaps. “I’m done, Zack. I’m done being some plaything for you. Half-in half-out, just to get picked up when you feel like it again. I let you take and take and take and I have nothing left to give you anymore.”
Zack and Cloud are best friends and college roommates who take their friendship to the next level during their first year. Absolutely nothing goes wrong with this.

Thieving that was all Cloud Strife knew in his eighteen years of living.
He was the Bronze Moon of the Triple-Moon thieves guild; a Master Thief that had yet to be caught. His luck is great- that is, until one of his missions ends up with him in shackles.
On his execution day, he is saved by the eccentric Prince Rufus Shinra, who is known for collecting the oddball warriors. With the choice of joining the prince’s elite warriors or beheading, Cloud chooses the former.
Secrets are unburied. Forgotten prophecies found. And an old threat to Gaia resurfaces.
Can Cloud find the heir of Minerva, Gaia's Chosen, before Jenova and her minions do?

Summary
Cloud Strife had it all, or so he thought. He accomplished his dream of SOLDIER, was mentored by one of the legendary First Class and even reached First Class himself. His life was perfect- that is until the mission he is sent on alongside the other Firsts. He meets a rather dashing Captain, and Cloud realizes there was something missing from his life after all.
When bodies of missing people, start turning up. The blame is thrown towards the sea-fairing sailors causing tensions to rise between Shinra and the sailing guild.
Cloud is caught in the middle- torn between his duty to Shinra and his love for a certain raven haired captain.(18th Century Fantasy AU)

Summary
The owners of Starlight have strange notions about the games we play. Most people play in the dark, behind closed doors, ashamed to let anyone in. The masters have different opinions. Games like ours, they say, are best played beneath the stars.
Or, that one where Cloud is sold to a brothel/dungeon to pay off a loan shark and finds it’s actually not completely the worst thing that could happen to him.
