    Summary

    Elmyra didn’t have any blood children. But by all accounts, she was a mother to two daughters.

    Her first, Aerith, was a kind, pleasant young woman who spent much of her time tending to her flowers in the Sector 5 Church and around Elmyra’s house. By 16, she'd grown into a beloved member of the community. She possessed a beauty that didn’t shout but invited slow, steady appreciation. Every person she met often convinced themselves they were the first to notice it.

    Her second daughter, Kalila, wasn't so adored. She wasn’t unattractive, exactly, but people avoided her almost by instinct. Perhaps it was her golden eyes, too bright and too intense. Or it was the distractingly deep, uneven scar across her cheek. Or maybe it was the fact that she was reckless, blunt, and notably less kind than her sister.

    Elmyra didn't care about differences. She loved the two girls, and they loved her. And the three of them found happiness together.

    But, quietly, Kalila did care. She cared a lot. More than she wanted to.

    And when the SOLDIER Zack crashes into their lives, the quiet divide between the sisters begins to crack open, splintered by envy, fear, and the oppressive, unrelenting reach of Shinra.

    Summary

    Cloud Strife, twenty one, is now on his third attempt at the SOLDIER exam. Or as he likes to call it: his last chance to not disappoint everyone back home.

    The problem isn't the fact he works more than sleeps, zipping to the Sector Seven Slums the second he can clock out of his day job, and then right back just to do it again the next day.

    No, the reason he's failed the exam twice now definitely has to be something else- probably him. Right?

    (And: Reno and co. wonder how someone so pretty can be so godsdamned stupid sometimes.)

    Summary

    It used to be that spotting a crisp navy suit and a stony face in the crowd meant Aerith’s heart would leap into her throat. Sometimes, it still did. She lived with constant vigilance. Wherever she went, Shinra’s stalking and scheming loomed over her like dark Midgar smog. As with Midgar, Aerith was used to the unpleasantness. The main difference between the city and the Turks was that in her heart of hearts, she was actually rather fond of Midgar.

    And anyway, Aerith could scheme, too.

    Summary

    After an attempt on Dr. Rosalind Faremis’ life, Shinra assigns its most formidable asset—Sephiroth—to protect her. But Rosalind’s enemies are not just lurking in the shadows; they stand among the very men who claim to safeguard her. Her revolutionary technology, Glamour, has drawn the attention of those who would kill to control it, including the enigmatic Professor Hojo.

    As deception weaves its way through Shinra’s ranks, Rosalind finds herself entangled in a dangerous dance with the Silver General himself. Sephiroth is a guardian unlike any other—lethal, unreadable, and bound to the company that may wish her dead. The closer they become, the more uncertain her fate grows. Is he her protector, her executioner, or something far more dangerous?

    Summary

    “You see,” the pink-wearing guy smiled, and the Materias on his bracer started glowing, “as I mentioned, the sword isn’t mine – it’s hers,” he finished cheerfully, just as the girl made a grab for the sword and a Fire spell sprouted in the air.

    “Oh f…!”

    Or, alternatively, a gang of thugs follow a pair of easy-looking preys through the Slums and bite more than they can swallow, much to their chagrin.

    Summary

    From under the plate to the towers above, everyone’s mornings start differently. Members of rebel eco-terrorist groups make pancakes in shabby bars, hone swords in tiny flats, or tidy up after a long day of fighting monsters. Meanwhile, people in Shinra rise in queen-sized beds built on the bones of a city or on soiled sheets on a laboratory examination table. The lives of AVALANCHE and Shinra all kick off, like everyone else’s, with the dawning of a new day. Who knew the planet was so small?

    Well, maybe the people living down below did. Barret sure does.

    Summary

    She picks up another crate and watches Tseng turn, his pity focused anywhere but on the girl it’s meant for. He always takes so long to answer her less-nuanced questions, shaping cold facts into niceties with his forked tongue until he thinks they’ll hurt Aerith less. He’s always been a real coward. “Shinra doesn’t know you’re here,” he says. “I haven’t told anyone.”

    You’re Shinra,” she argues. “And you’re not supposed to let me leave, are you?”

    “It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve broken a rule for you.”

    In pursuit of Zack and freedom from subjugation under Shinra, Aerith attempts to escape from Midgar. Tseng's presence makes that easier said than done.
