Summary
He doesn't remember how it happened. He doesn’t remember where he was, apart from the fuzzy appearances of torn wallpaper and dirty cloth couches. He doesn’t remember the time of day it had been, or which square of his internal calendar he hadn’t yet marked. The time of year eludes him, too, though something tells him based on his loose, tattered pullover it couldn’t have been any later than autumn. He doesn’t remember if he was alone or with company. He doesn’t remember if he had any company to have hypothetically been with.
He is Fyodor Dostoevsky: this, he does remember.

The war for the page is over and everything is back to relative normalcy for the ADA. If not for the fact Dazai stumbles upon a boy who looks awfully like one supposed-to-be-deceased Fyodor Dostoevsky. -

Summary
He had been alive already once, as alive as something like him could have been. Here, the warmth of the lifestream, of that kind woman's voice, no longer exist. Like Sephiroth had—like Jenova had—they left him in aching solitude. Cold in their absence, cracked in his failure; nothing about being alive again was appealing.
—
or, the Remnants of Sephiroth are reborn in the Northern Crater after the events of Advent Children, and now lacking Jenova's influence, decide to do their best in taking care of one another.–
or, or, another 'the remnants don't die entirely because i feel bad for them' fic -

Summary
"If you wanted me dead, you would have done it already. But you don't really want that, either, do you?" It was a weak line he cast by bringing attention to it, but the excitement of having the longest conversation he'd had with Viktor since his Machine Herald gig started made him feel a little reckless. Impulsive, even.
A frayed line and an empty hook.
Viktor bit regardless.
—
or, where Jayce yearns for his fights with Viktor, and even more, yearns for Viktor himself.

Summary
So they’re two years old, Cloud gathers from all the unnecessary jargon. Instead of being remnants of Sephiroth’s will from the lifestream, they're clones, they're made in a lab, and they’re made by Hojo.
Cloud can’t think of anything worse.
“So we’re just a pack of failures, huh?” Cloud mutters, skimming over their files. He flips through the pages as he leans on the door of their tanks. “Fuck Hojo, am I right?”

Summary
Aerith blinks when the flower’s held out to her, taking it from Tifa’s grasp slowly. “For… me?”
“Yeah. It means reunion, right?” Tifa tilts her head in that cute way she does. “I looked it up. People used to give them to each other when they were reunited.”
Lovers. Lovers used to give them when reunited, but it’s an old enough custom that Tifa might have picked up a slightly different connotation or interpretation from a different book and meant absolutely nothing by it—
And still. Aerith’s eyelashes flutter as she takes in the gift, carefully tracing the edge of a petal.

Summary
“Hey Sephiroth, can you open your eyes for me?” Two fingers tap against his cheek.
Sephiroth feels the breath catch in his throat but he can’t bother to do more. Everything is too heavy. There could be a grown man sitting on his chest. He wouldn’t know. His eyes wouldn’t move.
“Sephiroth? How about one eye? Is that a deal?” The fingers tap a few more times.
“I know you don’t know me but I’m the right guy for the job. You got lucky actually.” His words stop as he checks his pulse. Real fingers, Sephiroth thinks, are touching him. No plastic gloves, no leather, no barriers, just a person checking to make sure that he is okay. Is he okay? He’s not sure.
The man starts talking again a moment after he withdraws. “That heart is so much calmer. You aren’t poisoned anymore so we’re really getting somewhere. Progress is progress!”

The only problem is that then he doesn't die.
