Ff7 au- Cloud and Zack both get wings as well but Cloud hides his
Oooo. Also this exists in an AU where Zack somehow survived.
Zack almost finds it funny that he has two white wings, kinda like Angeal, but his are symmetrical, rather than asymmetrical like Angeal’s (aka his are on opposite shoulders unlike all of the other Firsts). In part he’s unwilling to hide his because they remind him of Angeal.
Cloud kind of hates that his wings look like bat wings, look like the sort of wings you’d expect a monster to have. Tifa frequently tries to argue with him that they look more like dragon wings, the sort you’d see on the Nibel dragons, but Cloud points out that doesn’t make them any better.
Ironically enough, people would feel more comfortable with Cloud’s bat/dragon-esque wings than Zack’s wings, since so many people can only see Sephiroth’s black one wing even when staring at two white.
Sephiroth upon his most recent resurrection is rather bemused by Zack’s wings, and refuses to believe Cloud doesn’t have wings. He is immensely satisfied to be proven right in that Cloud does have wings, but extremely mystified why his wings look nothing like Sephiroth’s wing, which he also finds personally offensive.
So turns out Cloud’s wings are the result of a little something called Claudia had quite a few things she should have told Cloud about his Da. Namely, that his Da was less human and more a dragon capable of taking human form. For once Cloud’s weirdness has nothing to do with Sephiroth or Jenova. Sephiroth is highly offended.
