So... if Cloud/Aerith and Zack/Aerith are canon in another world, then that means that somewhere out there, Sephiroth/Aerith is also canon?
Seeing young Sephiroth in Ever Crisis and young Aerith in Remake got my brain working up.
What if, you know, the two of them met when they were young? They are close with each other before Aerith and her mother flee Shinra. (Thanks for this wonderful fanart. Love this! ❤️) But she and Sephiroth promised that they would see each other again.
Sephiroth and Aerith met again during the events of Crisis Core. And instead of Zack (Sorry, man.), Sephiroth became her lover. Maybe in this scenario, he didn’t go mad after learning the truth of his existence but he was struggling with himself.
The only bad guys here are probably Shinra corporation for experimenting on people and draining the planet.
...Ah, what a good fanfic it would be. 🥲

This has been on my mind for as long as I can remember, and I have to let it go now. Or else, it’ll just fester inside me.
Aerith and Sephiroth as former lovers? WHY IN THE FRICKING HELL DIDN’T THEY GO THROUGH WITH IT??
I don’t care if it is “boring”. No offense to Zack, but Sephiroth seems to be an interesting person to me even before he goes batshit insane.
What could have been if Sephiroth had been Aerith’s first love instead of Zack, or Aerith, in her childhood, had been close with Sephiroth before she and her mother had fled Shinra?
What a wasted potential. 😫
Sorry, I’m broke to play this game so I watched the whole walkthrough on YouTube.
In the boardroom meeting, Hojo proposes mating (WTF Hojo?? 🤮) Aerith with S and G-Type SOLDIER candidates.
According to the wiki, G-Type SOLDIERs can create copies of themselves by implanting others with their cells, using Jenova’s cells as a conduit to transfer the donor’s abilities to the host.
S-Type SOLDIERs was the second and more successful branch of the Jenova Project. Hojo injected Jenova cells into a human fetus, his own unborn child within Lucrecia Crescent, a scientist also working in the mansion on her own project. Lucrecia gave birth to Sephiroth, and although Sephiroth didn’t gain the abilities of an Ancient as envisioned, he was deemed a superior subject to Genesis and Angeal.
But before their board meeting, Palmer sees Sephiroth (which scared the living daylights out of him) and told them later about their encounter.
