The plotbunnies are biting again, through they aren't being very original at the moment. Current idea has strong resemblance to bits of this series, particularly One of These Days, and moreso to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bard_linn's Equivalent Trade. There's also a part of the plot that may get me castigated for Tifa-bashing.
So, after the events of AC Cloud is pretty good. He's cured of his geostigma, he's come to terms with the deaths of old friends and is starting to be social again.
Without any warning, he disappears. He goes on a delivery and never comes back.
It is several years later that he is found alive - and living with a reserected Sephiroth.
Of everyone's reactions to this Tifa's is the worst. She has never been able to let go of Cloud even though everyone had practically accepted him as being dead. The whole issue of Cloud had become rather obsessive for Tifa - so much so that everyone avoided talking about him in her hearing range.
Of course, finding out he's with Sephiroth immediately sets Tifa off badly - she immediately assuming Cloud's being missing is due to Sephiroth kiddnapping him and holding him captive.
Okay, I don't have the exact course of events set out but Tifa does something to Cloud while he is seperated from Seph - I originally thought something akin to date-rape actually - that Cloud reacts badly to. Badly =/= yelling at her, badly means beating her up viciously and only being stopped because Seph - thanks to a mental link between him and Cloud - arrives just in time (with others following) to stop Cloud from killing her.
This is where the resemblance to the abovementioed fics come in.
Aerith and Zack make an appearance, saying things need to be set straight.
Gaea, the Planet, wanted someone who could hear it, someone to protect it. It picked Cloud because he was already halfway there. The problem is Gaea is barely sentient in it's own right, so when it grabbed Cloud and altered him for it's purposes it did not understand "gentle". The result was that it damaged Cloud's mind - badly. Cloud was angry at the torture the Planet put him through and set out to "punish" it... by summoning another Meteor.
Sephiroth's reserection was Zack and Aerith's doing. Before Nibelheim Sephiroth and Cloud had the beginings of a relationship but between Sephiroth's lack of understanding of how normal human interaction works and Cloud's total lack of self-worth it was not going well. Zack was just about to make the pair of them sit down and talk everything through... after they got back to Midgar from Nibelheim.
To put it simply, Sephiroth's role now is to guard the guardian - to keep Cloud stable. Tifa's interference at a time when Sephiroth was not present was something that could have caused Cloud to go off the deep end again.
So there you go. I'd advise CloTi fans not to read - I'm usually nicer to Tifa but... :) Sometimes you need to vent against an unfavoured character.

What she did to him in the game was possibly the worst thing anyone could have done to him, and he didn't even yell at her, let alone beat her up so much Sephiroth (?!) had to stop him killing her.

Sephiroth was pulled from his sleep as he felt his lover's mind slip into its feral state, the mixture of fury and arousal he could sense through their link making adreneline surge sympathetically through his own body.
"She's done something stupid, I don't know what, but I have to stop Cloud. You'd best get Tifa out of the way once I distract him, and arrange to have some meat heavy meal, with enough for two delivered as well, to calm him down." Sephiroth spoke to Vincent, the pale skinned man had seemed the more reasonable of the two that woman had ordered to keep him occupied while she was with his mate, and apparently the urgency in his voice got through to him, since he kept the dark skinned man from trying to stop him. It might have helped that Sephiroth left Masamune behind, but he knew the sword wouldn't be any help, would probably endanger him.
He didn't know where that woman had taken Cloud, but it didn't matter, he could sense the man just as he'd once been able to sense Jenova, the mother who'd planned to use him and throw him away. Only he knew Cloud would never throw him away, and so he ran to find him, and keep him from killing the woman he'd seemed to care for.
No one stopped him when he ran into the village inn, the locals all knew about his role in keeping their volatile protector stable and they weren't going to interfere when he wasn't even carrying his sword. Cloud wasn't in any of the downstairs rooms, as much a blessing as a curse, because from the bloody satisfaction coming down their link he was doing something that would have made someone try to intervene if they'd seen it. Sephiroth ran up the stairs seeking the sense of his lover's mind...except he didn't need to, he could smell the scent of blood from the hallway and he froze for a second as he caught sight of what had been hidden behind the door he threw open.
His mate had been systematically beating the dark haired woman to death, he'd obviously done something to keep her from speaking first, and now he glanced over at Sephiroth before dismissing him, and returning to what he'd been doing. Sephiroth swallowed, and focused on the burning, artificial arousal he coudl feel through their link, drawing it into himself and making it own, opening himself to the instincts the Planet had instilled in him to make him more acceptable to its Chosen.
He dropped his coat and belts on the floor as he stepped over to Cloud, kneeling just out of the way, and reaching up to tentatively touch his arm.
"Please Cloud...I need you." Cloud immediately dropped the woman, and turned to him, pulling him to his feet by the hair and bending him over backwards to kiss, tearing at his pants and literally tearing them off his body. His instincts told him to enjoy it, to purr in pleasure, when Cloud dumped him in the pool of blood from the interloper, but he forced himself to whine instead, letting a hint of fear enter his voice and scramble awkwardly away, remembering that he had to distract Cloud properly. But he froze when Cloud growled and whimpered in now-genuine fear, fear that he'd displeased his lover enough that he might demand Sephiroth accept another in their bed, that he'd failed in the task he'd been set. But Cloud seemed appeased, picking him up and tossing him over to a bed he hadn't noticed against one wall and following him, ripping his own clothes off as he did, lifting one of Sephiroth's legs and pushing into him, biting him at the base of the throat to keep him still.
