Zack: He doesn’t love me back.

Kunsel: Cloud looks at you like you hold the galaxy in the palm of your hand and you think he doesn’t love you?

How would our beautiful idiots name their children?

Lololol thanks for the ask!

For the sake of the exercise, let us assume that they don't have partners to tame their crazier instincts.

Cloud:

* Sky

* Claudia

* Fenrir (or any Norse god/goddess)

* (before Crazyroth) Sephora/Seraphina/Seifer

Our lovely chocobo is many things, but given his mother's choices...maybe creative names aren't his strongest suit. He names his sword "sword".

Zack:

* Kiddo (haha just kidding!)

* Spike v2.0 (haha just kidding!)

* Pupperoni (haha jus- ZACK STOP JOKING AND NAME THE DANG BABY)

* Jack

* Angeal

* Henry/Henrietta (after his dad who I HC as going by Hank)

* something normal and cute ❤️

He's a smart lad and a good pupper. He'd want to do right by his kids.

Sephiroth:

* (incomprehensible screaming)

* (deathly silence)

Then, once he's come to terms with the fact that he is now a father/mother to real children:

* Jenova

* Jenovo

* Gast

* Glenn, Matt, Lucia

* Sephora/Seraphina/Seifer

The guy named his sword after a guy who made swords. He is about as talented and creative as I think Cloud would be in this particular instance.

Lazard:

* He would name at least one of his kids after his mother.

* Very sensible names for the universe they're in. None of them would have the surname "Shinra".

* Olivia, Noah, Liam, Gabriel, Jade, etc.

(picked from common given names with similar origins to Lazard)

Genesis:

* Send help to his poor children. Please.

* Gabriel, Raphael, Michaelangelo, Castiel, Raziel, Evangeline, Angelica, Seraphina (NOT BECAUSE OF SEPHIROTH, he shall scream, which is a lie)

Basically anything with 3 or more syllables, bonus points for being biblical, angelic, or from Loveless or classical literature.

He is going to be LIVID when Zack points out how many of his favorite names are teenage mutant ninja turtles.

Angeal:

* Very sensible, wholesome given names, with fun and fancy middle names.

* Emma Consuela Hewley

* Johnathan Reynaldo Hewley, but he goes by Jack

He wants them to have an easy time in school and life, but he dearly loves fancy names, partly due to his beloved friends.

Kunsel and the Turks:

* None of your business and you will never know.

Reeve:

* Exclusively Irish/Scottish/Welsh/etc. names, the more difficult to spell, the better.

* Sinead, Saoirse, Pwyll, Gwawl

Roche:

* Same style as Genesis, poor babies.

Shizuroth, part twenty-four

Previous parts: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three

-

There are few things you learn very quickly after joining the SOLDIER program.

One, mind your own business. If it looks like it's above your paygrade, it is, and no amount of curiosity or bluster will be enough to fend off the Turks. Though, honestly, that's just common sense for any employee of Shinra Electric Power Company…

Two, mind your own. You see another SOLDIER struggling, you give them a hand, you put your shoulder out there for them to lean on, and you don't make note of it. They all come out of their first Mako injections, spewing their guts out. If someone acts a bit crazy, you give them a hand, you give them a moment, and you move on.

And three, there is no such thing as too much training. In all honesty, none of them get enough training, with the enhancements they get. They're always playing catch up with the Mako, trying to match skill and control to raw power - which only grows greater with each injection. They rarely even get the time to get adjusted to their latest batch of Mako. It was a waste of time!

Shinra didn't hire them to train them to be Elite SOLDIERs, no. That's what the injections were for, after all - they were an instant shortcut to a capability that normally took up to twenty years of hard training to achieve. SOLDIER were given raw power, relentless endurance and seemingly unstoppable speed at the point of a needle and then… then they were given work.

A lot of SOLDIER Third Classes delighted in that, taking full advantage of the powers given and going to town, not paying much mind to technical skill. What is skill when you can outrun, outlift and outlast every other human out there? Lot of Thirds let it get to their heads.

A lot of SOLDIER Thirds never made it to Seconds.

The ones that made it to Seconds knew better, usually. The only way to get there was to rise above Thirds, and the only way to do that is by training. Which they often had to beg, borrow, bribe and steal for. Martial art manuals from Wutai, physical training from athletes, actual one on one sessions with older and more experienced warriors… even spars against each other, all worth their weight in materia in the SOLDIER program.

And training from a SOLDIER First Class…? Priceless.

Angeal Hewley was the best for it - he liked training with Seconds and sometimes even Thirds. He was a good teacher too, he took personal interest, he kept up with progress, he gave challenges. You could really feel yourself improving, under Angeal's hand.

Genesis Rhapsodos was… also good, if you needed tutoring in Materia. There was no better Spellcaster in Shinra then Genesis, and you could tell that he was always striving to get better. Unfortunately he gave up on his students if he felt they weren't putting in enough effort. Which was, sooner or later, all of them.

But Sephiroth…

"Good," the First says, still with that absolutely deranged smile on his face as he walks through their ranks, checking their stances. "Now again, from the beginning - one, two, three…" He actually claps a beat, and the SOLDIERs go through the poses in sequence, sifting in time with his claps.

Kunsel's knees are shaking, and he can feel strain in muscles he used to be absolutely sure he'd trained enough. His grip on his sword is white-knuckled, and he can feel the way the tip is quivering radiating down the blade, into his hands, his wrists, his arms. He barely dares to breathe.

At Sephiroth's call, he shifts with everyone else to the next pose - feet shifting and then back firmly in the ground.

No one dares to breathe too loudly, and no one has said a word - no one wants to break whatever has come over Sephiroth.

In his mind, Kunsel is desperately trying to memorise everything so that the moment it ends he could write it all down.

"Knee," Sephiroth says to someone, and there's a shift of a boot as someone shifts their position. "Good. Lower your left elbow. Very good. You there, relax your grip, breathe."

Kunsel's heart skips a beat as Sephiroth speaks to him, as the First approaches him. "No need to have such a death grip. It's better to lose your sword than your fingers," the First says, smiling, smiling, green eyes glowing.

Kunsel almost drops the whole sword as Sephiroth touches his hand to urge him to relax. His breath escapes in a wooshy exhale and Sephiroth, SOLDIER First Class, chuckles at him.

"There, that's much better, isn't it?" And before Kunsel can do more than gape at him, the First is moving forward. "Good! Now, is everyone ready?" Sephiroth asks, sauntering up to stand in front of them.

"Yes, sir!" comes the instant answer from about a dozen SOLDIERs.

"So obedient," Sephiroth purrs. "Good. Now swing!"

Dozen sword beams launch in unison at the First, who watches them come with a smug little smile, before swiping them away with a single easy swing of his sword.

"There, everyone got it, very good," Sephiroth says, watching them like he wants to eat them all. "You have done this master very proud. That ends today's lesson - I want all of you to practise these moves, but without activating your Qi. Do not tempt Qi-deviation."

Like with most things Sephiroth has said during the lesson, none of them have any idea what he's saying, but they agree nonetheless. "Yes, sir!"

"Good. Go on then," Sephiroth says with a little wave and still with that smile. "Shoo!"

Sephiroth just shoo'd them.

On still shaking knees, Kunsel stumbles with the rest of the Thirds and Seconds out of the destroyed training room. They're all just about equally shell-shocked as they quietly meet with the SOLDIERs who hadn't been able to fit in the lesson, but who had all been watching, avidly, as it progressed.

There's a sense of shock and awe in the air - like they'd all just gone through a bombing run together, and it has been equal parts amazing and horrifying.

"None of this gets off this floor," a voice says quietly from the back. One of the older Seconds, whose name Kunsel doesn't know. "Got it? Anyone asks, you say nothing about this. As far as anyone outside this floor is concerned, nothing happened."

"Sephiroth, is he…?"

"He calmed down after Professor Hojo and the technicians left," the older SOLDIER whispers very firmly. "And that. Is. All."

Kunsel swallows and looks back through the malfunctioning, still open automatic doors.

Sephiroth has taken seat on the floor in the middle of the devastation with Masamune held upon his crossed legs. He's meditating.

"I think I'd die for him," someone breathes out fervently.

Kunsel clears his throat before he can do something silly like agree. "Should we, um… call Director Deusericus, give the all clear? There's bound to be, um… cleanup, and such."

The other SOLDIERs consider this, looking conflicted.

"I say give it a moment," someone sighs, shakily sitting down on the floor. Whether intentionally or not, he's mirroring Sephiroth's pose. "I, for one, need a moment."

He is not the only one, and they're all trying to look into the training room, to catch a glimpse of the SOLDIER First Class.

After a moment just standing there without a thought in his head, Kunsel joins them. "So, um. Does anyone know anything about mediation?"

They don't, but that doesn't stop them from trying.

Disciples aquired.

Cloud: Wow, you're so brave! You didn't even hesitate to throw yourself in danger!

Zack: That's because I have no regard for my own personal safety. You can ask Kunsel.

Kunsel: I have never been more stressed in my entire life.

Snippets from an AGSZC AU, where Cloud gets stolen by Hojo early on

From the @strayheartless archives <3

CW: mentions of prostitution (not among the guys, not graphic)

Cloud got disappeared by Shinra into the labs, and AGSZC was a thing beforehand.

—--

Cloud manages to get out on his own, single mindedly focused on making it to Genesis and Sephiroth to tell them about degradation and Jenova, but only getting as far as Zack's apartment before his legs give out, falling into the closed door with a thunk.

Kunsel, who lives next door, hears him and comes out in time to see Cloud try to crawl to the elevator since Zack isn't home. He doesn't recognize Kunsel when he tries to help, shoving him away and saying "Gen" over and over again...or is it "Jen"?

Kunsel alerts the group and they're there in a flash. Cloud does recognize Sephiroth and Genesis, but when he speaks, it's so garbled that they don't understand.

Finally, mission accomplished (in his addled mind), dripping mako, wearing paper-thin scrubs, Cloud passes out.

The next day, Angeal, Genesis, and Sephiroth were scheduled to use the training room for a spar; instead, they're with Cloud.

—-

Cloud, for many weeks or months after, is highly susceptible to Sephiroth's will. Sephiroth is holding him in the car that Kunsel is driving away from Midgar, wishing Cloud would rest, and he loses consciousness so hard and so fast that they panic and pull over, setting up the portable monitors they stole and waiting in tense silence until Cloud's breathing and pulse regain some strength.

When Sephiroth hears from the doctor in Wutai (where they defected) that there's a chance Cloud will never walk on his own again, Sephiroth's wish that he would be able to is so strong that Cloud gets up and tries to walk, injuring himself.

Genesis is the first to figure out what's happening, thanks to Cloud and Kunsel's Intel, and hints Sephiroth has dropped over the years about Hojo’s experiments, and takes Sephiroth aside. Seph feels so, so guilty. He's quiet and shaking, flinching when Genesis reaches a hand to his shoulder.

—-

Kunsel helps train Cloud to resist Sephiroth’s influence while the others are sent away; after all, he went through intensive Turk training to resist torture and manipulation. Sephiroth feels Cloud's distress and difficulty and has to be held back from running home immediately to make Kunsel stop.

Distance makes the bond weaker, so it's important he stays as far away as is reasonable, so Cloud can get used to it gradually. But it hurts. It hurts both of them. Sephiroth wants to run away entirely, but the instant that desire crosses his mind while talking to Genesis, Cloud screams from the other room in physical pain.

—

They know about degradation beforehand, thanks to Cloud and Kunsel, and they know the cure will involve Genesis and Angeal being given S-cells, which will connect the two of them to Sephiroth just like Cloud. So they take the Turk training from Kunsel too, now with Cloud’s help since he’s gone through it.

At least Angeal and Genesis do the Turk training before they're connected, which helps, but it's still excruciating sometimes, for all parties. Angeal, Genesis, and Cloud are in physical pain often as they work out how to resist Sephiroth’s pull, and Sephiroth feels so guilty over everything and has to concentrate on not letting his feelings get the better of him.

Zack is a rock for Sephiroth, and Genesis becomes jealous of this sometimes. That used to be HIM, but it's so much harder these days to use his silver tongue on someone with so much influence over him. Sephiroth doesn't believe him NEARLY as easily, because he has a better sense of when Gen is unsure and trying to comfort him vs. actually confident.

—-

Kunsel’s mom was a highly influential prostitute from Wall Market. It’s where he got his cunning and street smarts, and her beauty is part of why he wears the helmet, to shield everyone's eyes from his handsome face. Nobody believes him when he tells them, for some reason, but he privately thinks it’s funny when the guys are cussing him out during Turk training.

Angeal: SON OF A WHORE!

Kunsel: Yeah, her name is Destiny and she is the hottest and most influential whore in Wall Market, you'd like her. Now sit down.

Genesis: FUCK YOU!

Kunsel: No, that's mom's thing. Now take a deep breath.

—--

Cloud is the first to figure out he can communicate on some level with Angeal and Genesis too, and they lean heavily on his mental fortitude while he leans on their physical strength, still weak from the experimentation.

Meanwhile, Sephiroth's in the next town over, looking like the saddest wet cat ever while Zack babysits him.

Sephiroth: Are they rejecting me? They're quiet right now, do they hate me?

Zack: Nah, man, they're practicing so you'll feel better!

Yuffie: HI WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE A WET CAT AND SMELL LIKE GRADE-A MAKO?!

Zack: Oh no! The great ninja Yuffie!

Sephiroth: ????????

—-

Zack takes Kunsel to meet Yuffie to help him de-stress. On 95% of people, this would not work, but Kunsel's deepest loves are chaos and information, both of which Yuffie has in abundance.

Yuffie: SNEAK ATTACK!

Kunsel: *dodges* *holds up a can of spray paint* *sends a secret code message with his eyebrows*

Yuffie: fuck. Yeah. *sends a secret message back*

Both of them turn to face Zack, and he feels a sudden terror deep in his puppy bones.

—-

Cloud's trying to relearn how to walk and the chaos twins show up to heckle him. Angeal, Genesis, and Sephiroth are about to get Very Mad when Zack shakes his head and whispers "wait". Zack understands that Cloud STRIFE does really well when he has something to fight against, and by the end of the session, he's made some big strides in order to give Yuffie and Kunsel what they deserve.

Yuffie: *steals one of Cloud's crutches*

Cloud: FUCK YOU *gains the energy to hobble angrily after her where he didn't have it before*

Then Cloud is sore for days because he pushed so hard, and Kunsel and Yuffie are sore for days because they harassed the chocobo and he got revenge.

—-

Cloud doesn't like being helpless. He doesn't. He doesn't like having to lean on someone or be carried around in their big, warm arms. He doesn't like them softly petting his hair or massaging his aching muscles.

He hates being waited on and feels totally, definitely, for sure smothered when they cuddle him for hours at a time. Definitely. Super hates it, when their arms surround him, when he can no longer feel the gooey mako because he feels their breath instead.

He doesn't fall asleep, incredibly content, in Angeal's lap at dinner, or on Zack's back as they go out for fresh air, or bridal carried by Sephiroth on the deck of a ship, or under Genesis' arm in bed as Gen sings softly. Of course not.

He's way too tough for that, he's not soft at all, or he wouldn't have made it out all on his own to find them. If he let himself sink into weakness, he might not be able to get up again.

—-

Then Sephiroth listens in on these thoughts, and tells the others, who then remind Cloud that he CAN be weak, at least with them, and that it's ok. Would Cloud fault Sephiroth for crying? Or Genesis for being unable to get up when he was going through S-cell influence withdrawal? Or Angeal for yelling when his heart was being broken during Turk training? Or Zack for needing to be hugged and told he was doing a great job? No? Then shut the fuck up and let your boys cuddle you, you prickly bird.
