A post-meteorfall love story, featuring Vincent Valentine. A classic FFVII fanfic published in 1998-2004.

Synopsis: One year after Meteorfall, Vincent Valentine lives a quiet, isolated life while struggling with a mysterious illness that is slowly consuming him. His quiet existence is upended when he encounters an enigmatic young woman who bears a striking resemblance to Aeris Gainsborough - yet she has no recollection of him, and is on the run from mercenaries. With nowhere else to go, she reluctantly accepts Vincent’s protection. As Vincent takes her in, and his condition worsens, the two begin to form an unlikely bond. While trying to piece together the truth of her existence, they become entangled in buried secrets tied to Shinra, Sephiroth, and the darkest chapter of Vincent’s past. All of it has them questioning whether they were ever supposed to cross paths, and whether fate intends for either of them to survive...

Pairing(s): Vincent x Aeris, Cloud x Tifa. Cast: Vincent, Aeris, Cloud, Tifa, original Turk character(s), Hojo, Lucrecia, Gast, Sephiroth, President Shinra, Reno, Rude, Elena, Rufus Shinra. Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Pre-Compilation, Romance, Drama, Action, Horror, Psychological Horror, Emotional, Dialogue Heavy, Slow Burn, Protective Vincent Valentine, Pining, Grief/Mourning, Victims of Science, Canon-typical violence.

Read this way back, over 25 years ago, during my summer break in high school and fell in love with the story. Although it's now AU because of the compilation, it's still a classic after all these years, and has a very special place in my heart - especially as a Vincent fan (I personally think it's a better story than DoC). So, I want to share this story with new FF7 fans as well.

And because I love it so much and couldn't stop thinking about it for so many years, and had a whole headcanon of what happened after, I'm also currently working on a sequel: Echoes of the Planet.

Enjoy! :)

Must I do everything myself around here? *huffs impatiently*

I literally have SO MANY clack/zakkura fanfic ideas where Zack is kinda like a closet yandere who simps hard for his blonde bestie and has been searching for him for a long time. And it's not the abusive type yandere but like the psychotically protective, somewhat stalkery 'i will end anyone who hurts you' type of yandere.

I started writing it in like 2022 and dropped it, and now I'm interested in writing it again. I'm already three chapters in, and it's soo juicy and painful lmao! The rough synopsis is that Tifa and Aerith fall in love and get married, and it totally breaks Clouds heart because he was very in love with Tifa. Before the wedding, Cloud kind of disappears from the group for about five years and gets into a very toxic relationship with someone who completely takes advantage of his heartbreak and deteriorating mental state.

Then, years later, Cloud gets invited to the wedding and forces himself to go and be happy for his old friends. He puts on a front because he cares for both Tifa and Aerith and only wants their happiness.

But then.... Zack and Cloud meet again at the wedding for the first time in five years. Before Cloud left, Zack and him got into a heated argument, and then Cloud pulled another one of his disappearing acts. Zack had been looking for Cloud for a while, but realized that Cloud didn't want to be found and decided to leave him alone, against his own better judgment.

The real kicker that gets this plot going, is that at the wedding Zack observes Cloud's every movement like a hawk, taking in every detail with increasing worry. Zack notices that Cloud's lost a ton of weight, is covered in wounds and scars that Cloud quickly dismisses as 'mercenary work', that Cloud speaks numbly with a voice that is more monotone and withdrawn than Zack has ever heard, as if Cloud has completely checked out and lost the light in his blue eyes. The worst of all, when Cloud moves to take a glass of champagne Aerith offers him, Zack can see the wounds on his arm and neck, covered with bandages. Those marks are not those caused by fiends, but by a human.

And after the wedding, Zack decides that if Cloud won't take care of himself and treat himself right, then Zack will do it for him. He proceeds to infiltrate Cloud's life and turn it upside down. Oooh, drama! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's very much a dramatic hurt/comfort fic with lots of sensual tension, spice, and fluffy lovey dovey scenes. Just with a yandere zack hehehe!!! 😈

When we could all instead just gush over how perfect Zack Fair is? 🥰

Thanks for saying so, anon! I'm glad this blog is a safe place for you.

I already answered why I won't remove the tag here.

And again, I'D RATHER HAVE YOU BLOCK ME THAN REMOVE MY TAGS if you think that my post is an eye-shore to you.

Thank you for respecting my opinion but you're more disappointing than previous anon (who agreed to just block me) because I already give major warning in CAPSLOCK and bold for those of you who can't handle criticism for your favorite ship (Yeah, I think I have to add more "to block me" because of this).

Yes they can avoid reading it but something against the ship just doesn’t belong in the tag.

It still belongs to the tag because it’s about beefleaf. It’s not even an anti-post because it’s not all negative about them.

If you think the tag is exclusive for 'favorite things' or 'shipping' for liking, you need to learn more about tumblr in general.

I need the tag to sort my archive, it's more important than to satisfy you which you can handle it yourself by just hit (...) then block and...

...your dashboard page is clean again from negative posts about beefleaf.

I’ve been in tumblr for a decade and as long as I know ‘the tag’ is not equal with ‘the fanclub’, it’s equal to ‘related topic’.

And tumblr will always be like this.

Unless the feature of creating exclusive group/fanclub can be realized.

Sorry for eventually dragging other fandom, but even ‘Final Fantasy 7′ with massive ship-wars handle this better, tag like #cloti or #clerith are not exclusively for what's good for them, even valid criticism often uses these tags.

I never experienced anything like this when I was criticizing #cloti, and over the time I actually grew to see the good side of said pairing.

The FF7 fans maybe just brushed it off or block the haters in silent idk, because I still can see the variety of the contents using those tags.

Or these #destiel posts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 that should’ve offended destiehellers in ‘Supernatural’ fandom.

And with this much fandoms I’ve never experienced this tag-keeping before.

You need to realize that there must be a moment when someone doesn’t like what you like.

Do you think I’ve never experienced it? Many times I’ve accidentally found things that I love got severely criticized by others.

You may hate to see dust on your table, but you can’t just expect dust to never get on your table, you need to clean it by yourself.

You may hate to see a post you don’t like, but you can’t just expect people to stop posting it, you need to filter it by yourself.

If you really need a special space that contains only positive things you like, you need to figure out which platform that is suitable for that.

Tumblr is not a fanclub, it only provides you feature to block posts you don’t like.

Go make fanclub/livejournal/group/subreddit etc dedicated for beefleaf, anything that you have the right to moderate. Trust me, you won’t find me there to badmouthing them because I know my place.

Now, you add another reason why I dislike beefleaf.

I won't respond post like this again in the future.

Or probably stop writing TGCF related all together and leaving the fandom.

Hey y’all it’s been a while but I’m in dire need of FF7 discords to join. Or really just any FF7 groups that I can interact with. If you could please reblog this I would really appreciate it so much. I need more fandom pals to gush about my ships, headcanons, and my overall excitement for Part 2 of the Remake. :)
