Dragon-Pheonix123
A Final Fantasy & Resident Evil Crossover
You grew up with Cloud Strife, a bond forged in the fires of childhood. You admired Sephiroth, yes-his power, his poise-but your loyalty always belonged to Cloud. The years apart changed him. Reunited in the grim, viral corridors of this Resident Evil nightmare, his trust in you is gone. His friends-Tifa, Barret, Yuffie, Red, Aerith, Cid and Vincent-their wary glances cut deeper than any monster's claw.
Their suspicion breaks you. The heartache is a physical wound. In your despair, you make a choice: to rewrite your own memories. Using a forbidden technique glimpsed in the archives of Fabula Nova Crystallis, you weave a new past. One where you never looked up to Sephiroth. One where you never, ever, fell in love with Cloud Strife. Love was the mistake. You erase it.
You become distant, efficient, cold. You fight alongside them, but your eyes hold no warmth for Cloud. He notices the void where your affection once lived. And then, in a fragmented flash-a memory of your shared laughter, a ghost of your unguarded smile-it returns to him. The truth crashes down: your admiration was never a betrayal; it was just a part of you. And he punished you for it.
Now he sees the consequence. His distrust didn't push you away; it made you erase yourself from your own story. He realizes his greatest failure wasn't losing a battle, but making you believe you had to destroy your own heart to be worthy of his trust. He must fight not just the bioweapons, but the prison of rewritten memories he helped create, desperate to reach the you he remembers-before the you who remains learns to hate him completely.
