On Silver Wings – chapter 8
EXPLANATIONS
Hearing the slight edge of panic in Sephiroth’s usually controlled tenor had shaken him. Here was the man he’d both feared and adulated as a teen, then later despised and chased, obviously human and more than slightly overwhelmed with their current situation.
Even with Zack’s reassuring presence at his side, seeing the man again, very much [...]

AWAKENING
“Get your ass down to the labs, Reeve. Sephiroth’s awake and I could really use some help here.”
“He’s what?!”
“Awake, Reeve. We have a bit of a situation here — nothing serious, but it’s chaotic enough without having aides running around with broken noses. I need someone to handle this guy, because honestly, I can’t.”
“We’ll be [...]

TROUBLED PAST
Cloud had kept a close eye on Tifa as he’d explained about his own motivation for bringing Sephiroth back and had seen a look of guilt flash on her face as he’d mentioned the labs. He knew she had a hard time trying to forget Hojo had ever had his hands on him, and [...]

MEMORIES
He knew something had gone wrong before he’d ever even reached the big oak doors that led to the main area of the sectioned-off wing.

HOJO’S LEGACY
She’d been so sure she would catch up with Zack, she and Yuffie hadn’t even given any thought as to how they would confront him when they finally reached him.

EARLY RISER
A swift rushing current of thought, silver flashes quick as light. He followed her presence, her voice, and felt himself surface, as if from a dream. Around him he could hear the torrent of her will, a maelstrom of emotion, conflicting flashes of the past and present. He realized her voice was slowly getting [...]

OF DREAMS
“See, that wasn’t so bad, right?”
Cloud raised his head from the table slightly to groan at his friend. Zack’s easy smile was sarcastic, but honest.
He let his head drop back down with a loud knock. “Right.”
He heard Zack sigh and walk to his fridge. They’d fairly run off here after the meeting. It felt [...]

DRIFTERS
When he opened his eyes, he knew he was in trouble. His knees felt weak, his head ached and he found he could hardly focus. The world swam in and out of darkness and he thought he could hear footsteps, heavy ones, moving towards him. His heart felt like it would hammer out of his [...]

PROLOGUE
Dimly, he could feel his body resting in dreadful cold water, wisps of hair occasionally tickling his face. He felt he had been floating this way his entire life, his limbs cold and numb, unresponsive. He was blissfully unaware of any feeling but a slight twitch of life in his chest, his heart beating strong [...]
