#sephiroth's christmas kids au

[crisiscutie]

Wait for me...

I'm coming.

The yandere version of this fic/scenario.

Pairing: "Fluffy" Sephiroth/Pregnant Darling

Content Warning: NSFW. Noncon. Milk Kink.

You gazed at the well-stocked cabinet, the moonlight beaming on your face. You didn't know why you were doing this, considering that everything had already been put away for the night and the triplet boys were in bed. Maybe you weren't used to so many of the chores being done so quickly ever since your husband, Sephiroth, came back into your lives. You wanted to be glad about this "reunion". You really did. You couldn't, though. The horrific atrocities he committed in your family's name, his insistence on his right to rule the planet, his indoctrination of your sweet, innocent boys... It made you sick.

That fateful day he left your old home to find a cure for your degradation ended up changing him for the worst. He never told you the exact details of what happened, only mentioning an "epiphany" he had that day when he injected you with some sort of cells. Maybe, if you had gone with him, you could have stopped him from transforming into the monster he became now. It's all your fault.

You shook your head and closed the cabinet door, passing Sephiroth on your way upstairs. While you didn't dare to look at him, you saw him in your peripheral vision. He was sitting at his desk with his legs crossed, absorbed in a maternity book under the dim glow of the desk lamp. But as you closed the bedroom door, you practically felt his slit eyes piercing into you.

You laid sideways on the bed, careful enough to not cause discomfort to you or your unborn child, JENOVA. Her movements had become increasingly scarce and feeble in your womb lately. It's worrisome and odd, as you're forty-one weeks into this pregnancy. And to think a few months ago, you were worried about her coming out too early, as she was hyperactive, especially after Sephiroth reentered your lives. But now, it's almost nothing. Your hand gently cradled your swollen belly. Did those cells cause this? You received them not long after she was conceived. But alas, help was out of reach. Your husband had already gone to each and every neighbor of yours for his "visits". And even then, you and the boys are only allowed out of the house on occasion, always under his watchful eye.

Sephiroth entered the bedroom, his eyes scanning you from head to toe. You're not surprised. Wherever you go, you knew the serpent in your mind will follow. Like an invisible tsunami, his anger seeped through the room as he quietly closed the door and placed his maternity book on the dresser. He then gathered the scattered pillows around the bed, positioning one underneath your head, two for your belly, and one for your knees. He carefully adjusted your position before lying down behind you, spooning your body.

"You're overdue," he whispered, his lips now dangerously close to yours. Your breathing hitched and your heart rate increased as those words resonated in your mind. Of course, you are! You knew that. With one hand, he massaged your back while sliding his other hand beneath your maternity lingerie, toying with one of your nipples. He rolled the engorged nipple between his fingertips while studying your reaction; your lips parted, yet you struggled to suppress your moan. This obviously wasn't the greatest time for lovemaking, so why is he doing this? He forced that sweet moan out of you when he gave the nipple a gentle tug.

"Shh… We wouldn't want to wake the boys, would we?" He cooed at you, though his sweet, smooth voice didn't match his expression. His slit eyes shone at you with fury and the slightest hint of despair. It's clear that he's worried about her, just as you are. His luscious lips curved into his trademark devilish grin as his gentle tug on your nipple became rough, finally secreting that sweet milk that was contained for so long. He hadn't been suckling your tits for a while since he was too busy researching (and killing).

Fuck, he made it so hard for you to be quiet. His rough but pleasurable treatment of your tits is already pushing you to the breaking point; You didn't even notice him briefly freeing his long, hard cock from his pants. As he positioned himself at your entrance, his other hand began toying with your other nipple in tandem. You let out a gasp as he forcefully entered you, gripping your waist tightly to keep you in position.

"Don't," his breath hitched, his cock twitched from your walls massaging it. "...worry. I will guide you, as I always-" He couldn't finish his words as his vast wing sprouted from his back, enveloping you in its dark embrace. He let out a primal growl, flipping you on your back to start rutting you like the madman he is.

"T-too rough! The baby!" You huffed out just as his lips captured yours in a searing kiss. His tongue swirled yours forcefully, his hands opening your legs. It was as if something had taken over him. You only see him become vicious a few other times. He's being just cautious enough to not put any pressure on your baby bump. The urge to pull away from this kiss grew within you, but your resistance and muffled pleas only encouraged him to ravish you further. With each passing second, your supply of air dwindled, and his hand roamed your curves, finally coming to rest at your clit, teasing it relentlessly.

Just as you both came, you couldn't ignore his slit eyes dilating as he groaned. He withdrew his cock, his warm seed splattering across your legs and lower belly. Finally, he allowed you a moment to catch your breath. Resting his head on your belly, he softly traced the stretch marks with his fingertips.

"The reunion...is nothing to fear."

I think "Serpents" is a perfect theme for the alternate Domestic AU. It capture's Darling feelings about Sephy very well. I recommend giving it a listen sometime.

Title: Halloween Hijinks

Pairing: Bianca || Sephiroth

Rating: General

Word Count: 332

Fandom: Final Fantasy

Warnings: AU: Canon divergent. Canon x OC

Summary: Bianca insists on offering high-quality treats for trick-or-treaters, while Sephiroth has a very different point of view.

Prompt Filled: “You can’t buy candy corn for trick or treaters! That’s the fruitcake of Halloween.”

Halloween Hijinks

1.

“You can’t buy candy corn for trick or treaters!” Bianca exclaimed, as she snatched the bowl of candy from Sephiroth’s hands. She clutched the bowl, not wanting to return it to Sephiroth and his bad candy. “That’s the fruitcake of Halloween!”

This was her first Halloween since fate transported her from Earth to Gaia, and it was her favorite holiday. The celebration was among the things that she missed most about her home world. She didn’t know why dressing up in a costume meant so much to her, but it did.

It’s the perfect night to be my true self. During Halloween, Bianca had no one demand of her to bind her wings or wear normal color contacts to hide the color of her eyes. She could simply exist in her skin and none would judge her. They’d simply compliment her realistic costume.

In exchange, Bianca loved to serve only the best treats to visiting trick or treaters. She was the house that gave out full-size candy bars, making sure that her home would be well-remembered by the kids.

“You doubt me?” Sephiroth stared at her and crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow. His lips curled into a faint smile, which dissipated quickly and made Bianca wonder if it was even there. “It’s sweet and comes in three colors.”

Bianca’s ebony wings rested against her back as she stared down at the bowl of candy. The candy corn pieces seemed never-ending and kept appearing.

“Candy corn doesn’t taste sweet,” Bianca went to the metal cupboard, opened it, and retrieve several packages of full-sized Shinra Caramel Fusion, Peanut Blast, and Marshmallow Delight. “It tastes like sadness and tears.”

“Sadness and tears?” Sephiroth tilted his head. “But candy corn tastes sweet. It’s the quintessential Halloween candy.”

“And fruitcake is the quintessential Christmas food. Yet no one likes to receive fruitcake, and no one likes to receive candy corn. I think you are the only one who likes candy corn — and, of course, old people.”

Final fantasy 7 prompts #67

1. Tifa was trying really hard to teach Aerith how to fight hand to hand but...Aerith was terrible at it.

Little did she know that Aerith was purposely messing up so that Tifa would correct her staces and catch her when she fell.

2. Barret pissed Cid off, so now Marlene knows about twelve new curse words.

War breaks out between them

3. Tifa holding a chained up Sephiroth in a bridal carry while Genesis laughs

4. Sephiroth calling Cloud and the blond immediately hanging up on him.

If he's not going to pick up for his family then there's not a chance in hell he'll pick up for Sephiroth...even if he had been calling to apologize.

5. Bayonetta and Sephiroth bonding over crappy father figures and good fashion.

6. Au where instead of defecting in Wutai, Genesis returns to Midgar as scheduled and then proceeds to cause as much mayhem as he can. He has a hitlist of all the people he wants to torment.

The president? Enjoying permanent frog statis in the slums sewer systems.

Heidegger? That Tonberry was particularly aggressive.

Hojo and Hollander? He doesn't want to know what was in those vials. Especially since they turned the scientists into monsters...not that they weren't already monsters in thier own right.

He was near giddy when Rufus sent him and Sephiroth to finish them off.

Though, just to be petty, he also stole all of Sephiroths chocolate stash and hid it in Renos desk, leaving a subtle trail of crumbs behind.

A trail Sephiroth wouldn't miss.

7. Cloud gets slapped by one of Jenovas tentacles mid fight and lands in a dimension where everyone except him is a frog. Everything is proportionally sized for frogs, even skyscrapers.

Needless to say, Cloud is thoroughly amused, even as little frog SOLDIERS tried to attack him. It tickled.

8. Genesis wearing designer sunglasses and wielding a super soaker as if he's a secret agent.

Bonus points if it has Aeriths water in it.

9. His breath caught in his throat. The air around them seemed to freeze, like a paused movie, nothing seemed to move. The only things that assured him this was real was the feeling of sweat and ash on his skin and the smell of Tifa's blood in the air, as Sephiroth lifted her struggling form higher and higher.

No one dared move. They knew it would only take a single flick of the madmans wrist and the blade would slice through her heart. Green eyes met blue.

"You know what I want, puppet. On your knees. I want you to beg for forgiveness."

Cloud obeyed.

10. Angeal, Sephiroth, and Genesis are all yeeted into the future by unknown means and are eventually confronted by a stranger in a red cloak who takes them in.

Genesis for one, approves of the mans fashion sense and flare for the dramatic. Sephiroth has a headache...which may or may not be theater related.

11. Clouds life was wonderful. He and Tifa had finally tied the knot and were expecting a child. Everything was going so well

Then he came. It was always him. Sephiroth ruined everything, leaving Cloud covered in blood and fleeing atop Fenrir with three blond bundles. Cloud managed to find his way to a parallel world called Gigas, and appeared in a kingdom which was ruled by Genesis of all people. Thankfully they didn't use mako as a power source, but did have thier own version of the SOLDIER program (which he would forbid his children from joining). He doubted they would be able to stop his worlds Sephiroth if it came to that, but they would buy enough time for Cloud to grab his kids and flee again.

He was careful. Always so careful. He and his boys remained under this worlds radar for almost ten years, fleeing to different countries and hiding out in other kingdoms when people started looking too deep into thier identities.

But it wasn't enough.

12. Genesis returns and defeats Sephiroth once and for all. The world breathes a sigh of relief, only for Genesis to raise his sword against the W.R.O.

In some ways, Genesis was worse then Sephiroth.

13. Yuffie holding Frogged Sephiroth captive in a tiny cage and showing him off...but only Cloud knows he's thier arch-nemesis. He was trying his hardest not to laugh at the look of pure indignation the frog gave when Tifa called him "cute"

Cid happily placed a little pink bow on its head. "So he matches us"

14. Cloud visiting the orphanage and getting swarmed by children. He shot a panicked look to Barret as a few actually started climbing him and asking for autographs.

15. Au where everything is exactly the same but this AVALANCHE cell is also a band with no particular genre of music they stick to. They go around the world blowing up reactors in disguise and then preform the next day as if nothing happened.

The Turks know its them, but they can't seem to stop them, nor can they out them to the public without proof.

Bonus: In the spirit of Christmas, Sephiroth gets a gift.

He was expecting a bomb. Not a Cloud Strife body pillow.

(He loves it tho.)

[nautilusopus]

5, 6, and 11?

5) If you had to choose a favourite out of all of your multi chaptered stories, which would it be and why?

I mean I’m judging The Number I against a bunch of stuff that isn’t even published or even written yet so I don’t know how bad/good any of them will turn out but I think maybe Shaped Like You might be it, because the story it tells is (I think, anyway) probably a lot more reflective than some of the stuff on here, because it’s a vessel for a chunk of very weird, very specific ideas I have that I’m very fond of, and because it’s me openly complaining about Square just fucking throwing around keywords everywhere like they mean something and me calling their goddamn bluff for once. 

Like – I’m almost a little worried how it’ll be received because it’s a story disguised as two different genres that will repel the audiences of both those genres guaranteed once it gets going, and it’s just so goddamn specifically bizarre with some of its scenarios that I don’t even know if they’ll have traction with any of the people in this fanbase. And the body horror, don’t forget that. Gotta have that. And Cloud crying because he loves his family so much.

Basically this thing is probably the most quintessentially “me” story I have, and I guess the rest of you will either be happy or disappointed by that. We’ll see. 

Meddling Kids is gonna be a close fucking second though because it involves Sephiroth and adult colouring books and the very thought of that particular concept makes me so goddamn happy as a matter of principle.

6) If you had to delete one of your stories and never speak of it again, which would it be and why?

I forced The Pale Man out for the one year anniversary of The Number I and it was clearly unfinished and had been sitting in the drafts for ages so I wanted to clear it out and was supposed to have like a whole thing with Cloud going through all the usual “child in a horror movie that talks about the ghost” motions and it didn’t turn out anywhere near as good as I wanted to and instead I just went “uhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck it it’s done now” and skipped to the end. I really do need to fix that one up later at least, it’s in an atrocious state right now. 

11) Have you ever amended a story due to criticisms you’ve received after posting it?

Nah, mostly because the only actual “criticism” I’ve gotten was Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Racism Against Jews Or Maybe Christians Or Maybe Both Anon. I have since decided that what was originally a brief nod to Aeris’s status in canon as the last of a diaspora of people hunted down trying to find the promised land in a game with kabbalah shit everywhere in the first place is now going to be Aeris Is Jewish In Everything I Write Now You’re Welcome. 

(You fuckers never bat an eye when y’all constantly make Cloud Christian on an animist planet with an afterlife that’s day-glo rave soup and have him celebrate Christmas and I’m not supposed to talk about how fucking jarring and out of place it is because it’s an accepted thing, but the minute Aeris is Jewish in a real world AU it’s suddenly unrealistic and shoving your religion in people’s faces. Grumble grumble.)

Writing meme

Rules: list the first lines of your last 20 stories, see if there are any patterns, then tag your favorite authors.

I asked the wonderful and lovely @dreamywritingdragon if I could follow her meme. Thank you, my dear!

So how about reverse chronology from things I’m working on now?

1. “WOOOOHOOOO ARE YOU READY TO PARTY?!!!” Zack shouted when the door of the house opened, bracing himself to be knocked over by the swell of music, laughing voices and the smell of booze.

(from an upcoming OT3 meme ficlet featuring Zack/Sephiroth/Cloud [FFVII] in a modern college AU.)

2. Derek was sure the kid was there to kill him.

(from the upcoming sequel to Creature Comforts [Teen Wolf, pre-Derek/Stiles] that I really want to finish this weekend)

3. It was Derek's shitty luck that his cousin’s shitty car conked out just far enough from his house that he didn’t think he could manage to walk back without suffering heat stroke. He was already sweating because the air conditioning hadn't even pretended to blow anything that was cooler than the heat outside.

(from the upcoming looooong PWP of Derek/Stiles that's been on my hard drive for 4+ years)

4. They had lied to each other from the very beginning, when Leo led him astray into the quarry then attempted to blow him into kingdom come. Perhaps Riario had been telling only truth when he offered Leo forty days worth of temptations in one conversation to join him, but Leo didn't trust, hadn't trusted him then and wouldn't ever again. No, Leo had lied first, tried to kill him, and then Riario had struck back with trying to kidnap him with lies about art.

(from an experimental DVD Leo/Riario fic I was trying based on the song Love The Way You Lie by Skylar Grey. It probably won’t be finished.)

5. Zo was down to his last crumpled pack of cigarettes, and it was only the beginning of October. He'd have to remember to owl Amerigo again, even if the prick made him beg and pay double for more contraband to be smuggled in.

(Untitled OT3 meme ficlet featuring Leo/Vanessa/Zo at Hogwarts)

6. Zo always claimed he was just sitting there, innocent as a lamb, trying to relax and enjoy his night out at his favorite bar. Sure, he was savoring a couple drinks. Yeah, he'd maybe thought about trying to pick up someone for the night.

(Untitled OT3 meme ficlet featuring Leo/Riario/Zo pre-slash)

7. Kabu watched the scene in his kitchen from the protection of pretending to read his newspaper. Nirasawa was bustling around, occasionally mumbling to himself, pulling pots and gadgets out of various cupboards and examining them with an air of complete mystification.

(Form Over Function  the story that makes me the most ridiculously happy because I love these two fools with all my heart and there are only THREE  stories with them on AO3, and unfortunately, I have written 1/3 of those. Attempted comedy and smut with Kabu/Nirasawa from Bi no Isu and Kobi no Kyoujin)

8. “Nico, Nico, what in the name of all that is good and holy is this?!” Zo pounced on the bright yellow T-shirt Nico was about to stuff into his duffel with all the rest of the things he was taking home for Christmas break.

(Clothes Make the Man Riario/Zo )

9. “Are you sure it’s okay for us to camp here?” Scott asked, frowning at Stiles who was already enthusiastically shaking out a tent.

(Creature Comforts the weirdly popular fluffy gen story that is pre-Derek/Stiles sorta)

10. It was Zo’s big break, and he was not going to blow it.

(from the untitled modern OT3 AU Leo/Riario/Zo)

11. The first time it happened, Riario thought he was back on active duty. The earth trembled and he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he awoke wondering who was attacking the base this time.

(from the same untitled modern OT3 AU world as above Leo/Riario/Zo)

12. Leo acknowledged that, on some level, he took most things for granted. There were certain constants that he could count on—the earth revolved around the sun, the seasons changed in due course, and Zo would always be there for him.

(I REALLY need to finish the third one of these. Here’s the first line, Leo’s third part of the modern OT3 AU Leo/Riario/Zo)

13. Leo stared at the man before him, the one offering him the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, as many mysteries as he could ever imagine and the free opportunity to solve them.

(From my epic Leo/Riario rewrite of the series from Ep. 2 on titled Fire Meet Gasoline. This will probably never be written the way I see it in my head, but eh, who knows.)

14. “I just wish you would get out more,” Tifa told him again, standing over Cloud with her hands on her hips. It was the same posture and the same lecture she'd given his so many times that he knew it by heart. Cloud sighed and put his arm over his eyes to block her out.

(From my someday vampire comedy with Cloud/Zack.)

15. Leo slid his arm out from under the man with a move practiced over many late nights and early mornings. He was practically an artist of escaping from the beds of women and men before they woke up and expected anything from him—another round of sex, breakfast, or, even worse, a second date.

(Sigh of the Llama, or No One Wins a War on the Internet (Except Maybe Riario) my modern band AU with Leo/Riario and the optional Leo/Nico/Riario/Zo epilogue which still makes me giggle.)

16. Leo clapped his hands together and rubbed them gleefully even as Zo woke up with a start. “So, who do we have tonight?”

(Master of Desire Leo/Riario PWP)

17. “I'm not sure I can do it,” Nico turned his pale face up to Riario. “I've never killed anyone before.”

(Meme ficlet fill, no pairing, also on AO3 under A da Vinci Collection here)

18. “There's blood on your hands,” Riario murmured, grabbing Leo's wrists and turning the hands palm upward before Leo could touch him.

(Meme ficlet fill, Leo/Riario from the Thick as Thieves verse. Also on AO3 under A da Vinci Collection here.)

19. “I don't see why I have to be Daphne!” Nico wailed.

(Meme ficlet fill with some Leo/Riario under A da Vinci Collection here.)

20. Zo stared at the flyer his professor handed out. He'd seen them posted around campus the past few days as the spring semester began. Although the large, bolded PAID RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY first grabbed his attention, he'd quickly ignored the notice. While he could always use cash, he was not in a relationship, and frankly, none of his romantic liaisons had lasted anywhere near six months.

(Zo’s Long Con to Love Riario/Zo craziness)

I really need to finish some of this junk.

[crisiscutie]

Homecoming

Sequel to this fic here.

Pairing: "Fluffy" Sephiroth/Pregnant Darling

Content Warning: Yandere Sephiroth. Monster Pregnancy.

"Again," Sephiroth ordered, conjuring more fiends for your precious triplets to strike down.

"You said to kill them in one blow, and that's exactly what we did!" Kadaj protested, while Loz groaned and Yazoo sighed. Despite his gentle smile, Sephiroth's serious and grim tone left no room for argument.

"Those blows were too weak. You need to be faster and precise," He continued. The boys pouted. "Again." Sephiroth then turned his back. His gentle smile became a sneer once he laid his slit eyes on you.

With a seductive sway to his hips, he approached you. You were absolutely stunning in your white lacey maternity dress, like a goddess prepared to birth another. Your enormous swollen belly that had ominous dark veins over it looked just as massive as it did a decade ago when you were carrying the triplets. But this pregnancy felt anything but normal compared to your last one.

JENOVA started to show more signs of activity in your womb recently, although it is still lower than expected for this stage of the pregnancy, which reached forty-two weeks now. To help induce labor, Sephiroth had been taking you and the boys on frequent excursions, since that outdoor exercise could help you, and it also provided more opportunities to train and indoctrinate the boys. He sat behind you and embraced you.

"Our boys are getting stronger... But they still have much to learn." He whispered. His velvety sent shivers down your spine. You wanted to squirm out of his grasp, yet something about him compelled you to stay close, craving him. You heard the triplet boys shout triumphantly in this distance once they defeated the fiends. They ran toward you and Sephiroth.

"Mother! Did you see that!?"

"Hmph. She was obviously watching me!"

"Yet I was the one to do Father's objective the fastest."

You forced a sweet smile as you waved at them, while Sephiroth quickly wore his own gentle smile. He briefly removed his arm from underneath your swollen breasts, raising it to summon more fiends to stop the boys in their tracks.

"Good, my children. Now eliminate more," he gently commanded. They pouted and took out their weapons to continue honing their skills. As soon as the boys were preoccupied again, you and Sephiroth's expressions reverted. At least you two agreed on one thing - keeping the boys as innocent as possible. Even in this dark world, they should be able to express themselves and have the love of both parents while growing up.

"Why did you do this to the world, Sephiroth..." you whispered, your voice trembling with despair as you looked around. His luscious lips briefly brushed against your cheek. On these excursions, the environments your family went through shook you to the core; The trees stood withered, and the once vibrant plant life clung desperately to the dwindling light. No doubt that your beloved husband played a role in this. A dark chuckle escaped his lips in response.

"Because the energies belong to me and my heirs. And once it's fully contained in the Lifestream, our family will be at the center, together…" Those last words he spoke were surprisingly affectionate and brought back memories of the person he used to be as he nuzzled against your neck.

A sudden, powerful kick from JENOVA in the womb made you wince in agony. The sheer force alone knocked the breath out of you. Sephiroth gently massaged your back with one hand, while the other stroked your swollen belly. "Relax, my darling," he cooed, closing his eyes and attempting to communicate with your unborn daughter. In unison, you closed your eyes, not even knowing what he's doing. You just wanted the pain and discomfort to stop. But your mind somehow intertwined with Sephiroth's as he tried to reach her.

Your blood turned to ice from what you saw next from that mental connection. You expected to see a human baby, but instead was a small creature with slimy, pink-red tentacles. At its center, a glowing pink eye stared back at you, surrounded by a dark void. The terrifying sight made you break into sweats as you hastily blocked out the vision. Sephiroth had to stifle his disturbing giggle, not at your distress, but at the anticipation of a new goddess ready to enter the world.

"Don't be afraid, darling... The reunion is upon us."

Just got the random urge to write this drabble for the alternate Domestic AU~.

Christmas Kids | The Reunion is Nothing to Fear | Wait for me | The Crowning Moment

[crisiscutie]

The reunion at hand may bring us joy. Pt 1

Pairing: "Fluffy" Sephiroth/Pregnant Darling

A wee distant prequel in the alternate Domestic AU, back when Darling was still on the run from Yandere Sephiroth with the boys.

You gently touched your slightly swollen belly, shaking your head as you looked at yourself in the bathroom mirror. There was no denying it now - you were pregnant with your fourth child. This revelation shouldn't have come as a surprise. Something had to result out of those nightly sessions you had with Sephiroth months ago.

Yet with the familiar symptoms and signs, you had acted like nothing was different since you and the boys went on the run. Now that your baby bump had begun to form, ignoring your greatest worry was no longer an option. You covered your eyes and let out a soft sob as you anxiously deliberated your next steps.

You could should be able to handle this one. After all, ten years ago, you had been pregnant with triplets. One more child in the picture was no problem.

But you couldn't even bring yourself to explain to your precious boys why you all had to leave that fateful day. The horrifying atrocities and the monster their father had become were things they shouldn't and couldn't comprehend. So how the hell could you explain to them that you're pregnant while being on a special mother-sons expedition, celebrating your degradation mysteriously curing itself? The boys were already concerned when you had bouts of morning sickness, but you diverted their attention by promising to take them to the Gold Saucer, since they had begged to visit it during the journey in Corel.

They're smart like Sephiroth, though. You won't be able to hide this from them for long. Maybe you could tell them at the amusement park during a quiet moment? You pulled your wool sweater down and slipped your black jacket on for even more cover. It's bad enough being an ex-SOLDIER on the run with three kids. No need to make it obvious that you're a pregnant ex-SOLDIER on the run with three kids.

When you were about to leave the restroom, you heard a groan of distress from behind. You turned around and came face to face with a woman dressed in tattered black robes. She looked to be on the edge of death. Her lifeless, baggy eyes, sickly complexion, and brittle hair nearly sent you into a panic. She looked like you when your degradation was at its worst. She stumbled towards you, losing her balance. You immediately reached out and caught her, allowing her to rest her head on your shoulder.

"Miss... are you okay?" you whispered. You couldn't resist the instinctive desire to hold her tightly, as if she were a precious jewel for safekeeping. Perhaps it was your natural empathy and decency for a fellow human. Or it's just your pathetic projection.

You tried to support her upright, but in a swift second, the woman summoned all her strength to push you against the bathroom wall, her small form transforming into the towering visage of your dear husband, Sephiroth.

In slow, robotic movement, he lifted his head from your shoulder. You could feel his soft, silver tresses sliding over the fabric of your jacket as his gaze met yours. His slit pupils were devoid of the soft, almost-catlike gaze he usually wore. Instead, there was only the stare of a snake watching its prey.

He cupped your chin. "You dare to run away? With my children? After all I've done for you. For them," he hissed. You couldn't respond. Were you already beginning to lose your mind? How did he know your location? How is here? As he caught the flicker of fear and shock in your eyes, his slit pupils constricted. He then smirked and slid his gloved hand down your body, opening the jacket and lifting the wool sweater to expose your slightly swollen belly.

"I will reclaim what's mine," he declared, his gloved hand resting on your belly. These were his final words before the robbed woman retook her place. She groaned in your ear once again. A nurse burst into the room and quickly approached the two of you. She pulled the robbed woman away from you.

"Excuse her. She's not feeling well because of the mako poisoning!" the nurse hastily explained to you, shortly lecturing the robbed woman afterwards. You stifled a gasp at them before fast walking out of the restroom. Your gaze darted up and down the streets, clutching your bag close to you.

Fuck. Fuck. The boys. Where are they!? You all can't afford to stick around much longer. But you don't see them anywhere! They should've been here, waiting outside of the bathroom as you ordered. Your panic increased tenfold when you rushed down the dusty road, seeing the bodies of dead Shinra grunts scattered about. You forced your head to keep looking forward, not even noticing the black feathers on some bodies.

Time passed slowly until you found a platform with a gondola, hoping your boys were near since you quietly searched everywhere else. You then heard the familiar whisper of Kadaj calling out to you from behind.

"Mother, we're over here!" He said. They were hiding in small bins, with a white lid over their heads nearby an abandoned clinc.

"What happened?" You asked.

"We don't know... Those men were running after us, so we hid in these bins when they lost sight of us," Yazoo explained. The three came out, their hair and clothing a bit rustled, but no signs of physical injury. But their eyes said it all. They were shaken. Afraid. All supposedly under your watch. Poor Loz was crying silently, keeping his hand over his mouth to keep quiet. You ruffled his hair, giving him an apologetic gaze.

The three hugged boys hugged you tightly, afraid to let you go. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't left you three alone..." You said. Kadaj lifted his head, about to say something before the sight of your uncovered pregnant belly caught his attention. The other two followed after, their fearful gaze turning into utter confusion and curiosity.

Shit. Of course you didn't bother to fix yourself up after that bathroom encounter with Sephiroth. "Boys... I-"

"They can't be far! Split up and search the alleys!" a voice from a distance ranged out, with a tone you recognized to certainly belong to a grunt captain. With quick thinking, you ushered the boys into the nearby gondola and closed the door.

"We'll discuss this later. Just stay quiet for Mother please..." you uttered, maneuvering to the controls. Your sweet triplet boys nodded, immediately sitting down and observing you silently. Thank the planet that they knew when to get serious and follow directions. But alas, mayhap this be evidence of them growing up too fast. Any other child at their age would still be shaken, frantically asking questions, begging for assurance. Just how much more horrors did they witness in your absence?

You slapped the control panel in frustration, which seemed to make it work. The gondola creaked and drifted along the cable lines. You peeked out of the tinted window, seeing more Shinra troops scouting the streets. Thankfully, no one seemed focused on the gondola. You sighed in relief and wiped your forehead as you sat down, sitting opposite of the triplets.

They were still staring at you, their intense catlike pupils constricting as the silence persisted. It was too difficult for you to not think of Sephiroth at this moment. This peculiar aura was all too familiar. Each one was so so similar to him, in each and every way.

Your lips curved into a forced grin, as you leaned forward, talking in your light tone.

"You know, this itinerary of Corel told me about a very special attraction nearby." The boys broke out of their peculiar observant trance, their slit pupils now dilating in anticipation as they leaned forward themselves, meeting you with excitement.

"I-Is it the gold saucer?" Loz asked. You nodded.

"Mhmm!" I was thinking, 'Maybe we could go there sooner.' What do you boys think?" The boys collectively hollered in excitement, littering you in gratitude and requests to go to a specific attention first. You chuckled, sitting back and watching them argue with each other about who gets to where first. Good thing you got them focused on something else for now.

Though your amusement ended quickly when you spotted a black feather stuck in the window's crevice, reminding you of your duty...

Oh, why can't something be easy for once?

[crisiscutie]

It's does remind me this one song, Christmas Kids. Yandere Sephiroth tried babytrap his s/o for not leaving him. Christmas kids represent the triplets. Which is Yan!Sephiroth tried to make his s/o pregnant. They tried best to escape hell away from their own prison house. Even, they're change their name and move other country, Sephiroth will find them no matter what.

Yandere domestic Sephiroth AU? Yes, please. I've listened to the song, I really like it. Something about sad songs with happy beats always gets to me. I may have heard it before in some YT shorts... Anyways, it fits a domestic Yandere Sephiroth and a Pregnant!Darling very well. Just imagine the darling coming back to her new home and finding Sephiroth waiting...

Companion fic here.

Content Warnings: Slight NSFW, Emotional abuse, Pregnant Darling. Long headcanons under the cut.

Grocery shopping for the week wasn't easy, but it had to be done. The boys won't be happy that their mother went shopping without them, but school must come first.

Plus, the darling wasn't in the mood to hear Loz and Kadaj arguing and begging for certain foods that week. But regardless of their squabbles, they are her precious gifts. Her Christmas kids, as they were born on that day. The happiest day of her life.

The darling opened the door to her new home, taking a deep breath and feeling the exhaustion from the errand. The ache in her swollen feet, aching back and sensitive milk-filled breasts was overwhelming.

But the pain and discomfort she felt in her pregnant body was a small price to pay for the freedom she and her boys gained.

The young, naïve triplet boys were confused of why their mother wanted to move suddenly, but they obeyed her with little hesitation, anyway.

The darling didn't want them to turn out like Sephiroth. His possessiveness and control were too much to bear. When he took to killing innocent people in the misguided attempt to "protect" her and the boys, that was the last straw. She knew she had to leave that fucked up place called "home" behind...

She grabbed her young boys and left their prison house when the stars aligned...

Despite her unexpected pregnancy by Sephiroth, her journey brought her here. She kept pushing forward, and the reward was a peaceful, cozy home for her and her children. Until today.

As the darling placed items on the shelves, she felt a cold, eerie sensation, as if something was watching her from the darkness.

She forced herself to ignore the eerie chill, opening the window blinds slightly as she resumed her normal stocking pace.

Even though the sun was shining brightly on this beautiful day, the eerie chill still lingered in their new home.

But it has nothing to do with what happened in their past. Definitely not. It's probably just a cold flash from her pregnancy getting so close to the end.

As she tippytoes, she strained her body to place the last few items.

As a response, the backache from her pregnant belly intensified. She could feel her baby's sporadic movements, ranging from gentle kicks to violent jolts. Maybe the darling should've invested in a step stool...

A wave of heat washed over her, a heat that was neither comforting nor from the sun, but a heat that was harsh and oppressive.

Now she's having hot flashes? Oh, the perils of pregnancy. At least this little one inside her should be much easier to have than the triplet boys.

The darling softly smiled as she recalled the adventurous banter among the triplets during their journey to a new home. They were debating the sex of their new sibling.

Loz longed for a younger brother to wrestle and play games with, knowing that he would have a better shot at winning against him, unlike his other brothers.

Yazoo, with his level-headed and composed outlook, predicted it would be a girl, welcoming the possibility of her tempering the wildness of his brothers (what a hypocrite).

Kadaj didn't care either way, as long as they didn't challenge his position as the leader and his status as his mother's (self-proclaimed) favorite.

The darling let out a deep groan as she paused her stocking. Her unborn child ended the sporadic fetal movements with the hardest kick yet. Something just isn't right... Perhaps she will see someone later this week after she and the boys finish moving in.

Suddenly, the dark, icy chill behind her shifted to a menacing heat, like a furnace blazing from the shadows. It felt so familiar, like… No! It's impossible! That chapter was a distant memory.

The darling is just imagining things. It should be no surprise that the human brain likes to play cruel tricks like this.

Like how Loz kept running to his mother, crying about seeing mysterious dark feathers around his school, the grocery store and other places their family would visit. He would complain that Sephiroth was too good at hide and seek.

The darling figured the strange dark feathers were simply a product of his mind, missing his father in his own way...

But it became alarming when Yazoo began to murmur and point out the smallest details of every single dark feather as he brought them to her.

Kadaj was getting frustrated, beginning to wonder why their father wouldn't help them finish moving in.

The darling refused to believe the boys. It could just be the ravens shredding their feathers, right?

With trembling hands, the darling slowly reached out for the final item. When she completes this simple task, she can lie down and relax. All of her stress, and the aching in her back especially, would soon be gone.

Just before she could grasp it, a large, gloved hand appeared and delicately placed the last item on the top shelf.

The darling felt a strange, unwanted sense of relief as she felt the slow and gentle strokes of another hand on her back.

...His presence could not be denied any longer. She felt his chest expanding and contracting against her head, and heard the gentle thump of his heart.

Sephiroth… No matter how many miles they traveled or how many times they changed their names and minds, he still had the determination to find them. He'll always know.

His silver tresses brushed against her skin as he hummed his sinister lullaby, pressing his lips to her ear.

His free hand grazed one of her sensitive, milk-filled teats. His hand then slowly descended, aiming for the treasure below.

His darling's swollen belly, where the new life within her stirred and grew.

He rested his hand on the center of her large belly. Warm, twisted happiness now radiated from him. His plan worked.

His darling refused to turn around. Struggling to contain her sobs, His darling averted her head from him and wept in silence.

His fingers glided over the stretched skin of her stomach, while his other hand moved lower to caress the small of her back.

As he opened his mouth, his warm breath tickled her ear.

"A touching reunion."

I wasn't sure if the prompt ask had the darling pregnant with triplets or already had them and was pregnant with a spare child, so I just combined a little of both concepts, but regardless, thanks for the great inspiration.

Confluence

pairing: "Fluffy" Sephiroth/Domestic Darling

Even when the world is in ruins, the beach of Costa Del Sol remained remarkably beautiful, even hauntingly so. The tides were receding at an alarmingly fast pace, and the water had taken on a darker hue than usual. The sky was cloaked in gray and there was a light fog around, but you could see through it. No one besides you and your family was around, of course. This beach, as long as everything else left, all belonged to you. This was a twisted mockery of what a beach should be like. At least the triplets were happy to be here, mainly because it was their reward for passing Sephiroth's rigorous training.

They ran happily towards the shore as you all got closer, eager to play in the water. You and Sephiroth followed closely, watching them with a gentle smile. You were holding baby Jenova's tentacled body with one arm while holding hands with Sephiroth using your other hand. It was clear that Baby Jenova shared her brothers' enthusiasm for the beach, as her tickling tentacles constantly brushed against your skin. She then snaked some of her tentacles up to your head, playfully snatching your sunhat and placing it on her own head. To your amusement, she even tilted it at the same angle that you usually wear it. A small chuckle escaped your lips at this adorable sight.

"Hey, that's mine, you copycat," you pouted, trying to keep yourself from laughing too much. It's amazing, really. Despite being a newborn, she's already absorbing and applying so much of the knowledge from the world around her. And, if you aren't mistaken, you can't help but feel like she's grown a bit, even though it's not obvious. Both of you joined Sephiroth on the towel he had prepared for all of you. He gave you both a gentle smile, leaning over to grant you especially a kiss on the cheek.

"Such a beautiful sight, isn't it?" he said. Your head rested on his shoulder as you watched Jenova sculpting something in the sand.

"Indeed, it is..." You said. While you regret how things came to be, there is a serenity in knowing that there is nothing left that can harm your family. No Shinra, No AVALANCHE, no monsters... Sometimes, you can't help but wonder what a normal life would have been like for your family. Yet, you knew that your sweet daughter's eldritch nature would have made it impossible for her to grow up normally, unlike the boys who might have had a chance. The thoughts of her being hunted by the masses or exploited by those damned corporate bastards is something you don't even want to entertain. This reunion truly really was the best option. Right as you were thinking of her, you saw something odd about Jenova in the corner of your. There appeared to be a piece of bone protruding from one of her tentacled limbs.

"Just let mommy check you for a second," you said, hoping she would cooperate. Despite a few tentacles wiggling in protest, she obediently allowed you to inspect her closer. You took off the sunhat and gasped. From the back of her tentacled body, it looked like your daughter was growing a skeletal face with sharp teeth, two of the teeth looking like long tusks protruding downwards. The eye sockets aren't fully formed yet. How did you just now notice this? Sephiroth leaned close to you, his hands on your shoulders and whispering into your ear.

"Don't fret. It's a normal part of her development," he said in a soothing voice, though his lips held hints of a smirk. Before you could inquire further, he continued, "The power she gathers, particularly from materia, can hasten her growth to a new life stage..." You gently placed your sunhat back on her head and allowed her to return to her sculpture. So there was another reason he told the boys to gather materia when she was born...

"Does she need a constant supply of materia?" You asked. Sephiroth shook his head.

"It's nothing more than a supplement," he noted, impressed by how she was already transitioning to another life stage. You scrutinized her, with no choice but to believe in Sephiroth's words. You knew that he wouldn't let anything bad happen to Jenova. Though, nothing explained of how he even knew this information to begin with. And what is going to happen to your daughter in each of these stages? You briefly took your eyes off Jenova to the sound of cries coming from your boys. There was no apparent threat, but they seemed irritated with each other.

"That's not fair! You can't pick the game for us!"

"Yes I can!"

Kadaj and Loz's argument got louder, enough to where even it captured Sephiroth's attention. The boys ran over to you three, eager to get in the first word about who caused the argument. You sighed. Kids will be kids. Sephiroth chuckled lightly and stood up.

"I'll choose a game for all of you to enjoy... The story of the Three Cetra Kings," he said. Right away, the boys stopped arguing and focused solely on him.

"It is the story of three young heroes reclaiming their homeland in pursuit of justice for themselves and their fallen kin. Along the way, they face hardships, losses, and grief... Yet, nothing could shake their determination to rescue the Cetra Princess." He finished, his eyes beaming as he looked toward Jenova.

"She needs her big brothers to save her faster," you said, giving one of her tentacles a gentle rub. "Being in captivity is sooo boring for her." After she finished creating her sand sculpture, she slithered her tentacled body onto your lap, using it as her makeshift throne. Sephiroth continued setting up the story for his roleplaying game as she extended a single tentacle towards each of the boys. They grinned at her and knelt down before her, reciting their kingly vows to save and protect her.

Just before you started pitching in with more material, Jenova's sand sculpture caught your attention. It resembled Midgar, a city she had never been to. Nor had you, Sephiroth, and the boys ever mentioned it around her. You looked down at her, whispering.

"You're just full of surprises, aren't you, princess?" In response, she gave you what seemed to be her own unique version of a shrug, causing you to giggle. Oh, what more could this little one hold for you and everyone?

the reunion...is nothing to fear.

Pairing: Pregnant Darling/"Fluffy" Sephiroth

Word Count: 680

Content Warning: Psychological/Emotional Abuse.

The grandfather clock ticked away as Sephiroth traced the stretch marks of your swollen belly. He used his other hand to work the tension out of your back as you kept your focus on the clock. Judging by the time, your triplet boys aren't done with school yet. Few more hours. If only you could turn time faster. But it doesn't matter. The man you were trying to escape from has now invaded your new, lovely home, humming his favorite lullaby as you sat on his lap. Your new, lovely home, now corrupted by his presence. Maybe that's why your unborn child is kicking so much now; for you to get away from him.

Yet there was something peculiar about the way his hold on you felt. It's gentle and loving, but also constricting and possessive. You're almost like a poor fly caught in a spider's web. The spider is just waiting for the right moment to feast.

Despite the effort and hard work you put into escaping with your triplet boys, it amounted to nothing. Signs of Sephiroth's presence were always around you; Your precious boys kept asking about those strange dark feathers around your new home, their school, and even in other places, like your favorite grocery store. They wanted to know when their father would stop playing games. But you simply brushed it off, telling them that their father wouldn't be joining you all soon. They were confused, sad even, but they understood the hint to drop the subject. You hated saying that to them yourself, but it was necessary.

The dark feathers you saw were some of the many invitations to the reunion that you ignored. And now, this is fate. Your precious, innocent boys will become like their father. You still loved Sephiroth, but you could never love the path he took. His relentless slaughter of innocents and confining you all in his so-called "tower of love". That's why you had to get away from him. You tried your best, but this is where your "best" landed you.

Your baby's movements grew more forceful as he stopped tracing your stretch marks. He whispered into your ear with that same charming, velvety voice, but you knew it wasn't his old self. He still had that dark look around his slit eyes and a dangerous edge to his voice. You knew that his heart still beats for his family, but it's forever enshrouded in darkness.

"I wonder," he asked, "what name have you chosen for her?" Your dull eyes darted to your covered patio door, watching the rays of the beautiful sunlight slightly retract. You should have opened more windows when you returned from grocery shopping. You're amazed that you could still see in this gloomy and dark setting. You don't want to give him the satisfaction of hearing your voice. But his question weighed heavily on your mind. It's true, you hadn't considered a name for your unborn child, let alone knew that it was going to be a girl. Your unexpected pregnancy with this little one almost deterred you from making your getaway with the triplets, but you pressed on. In the coming weeks, you were so focused on getting away from Sephiroth, you've neglected almost everything else. You didn't even have to turn around to see that his lips curled into a smirk, almost like he knew what you were thinking. His lips pressed against your ear, speaking in a lower, ominous voice.

"...JENOVA... A fine name for her."

Your eyes had widened at both his voice and his declaration. Naming your child after a dead family member wasn't unusual, but something about it had made your heart race. Your baby had ceased her kicking as his hold on you had grown slightly more constricting. Gazing weakly at the grandfather clock, you had realized that not much time had passed. He had begun his delusional ramblings, a dark chuckle echoing in your mind, as a lone tear had trailed down your cheek.

"The reunion at hand may bring joy, it may bring fear, but let us embrace whatever it brings."

This fic is based on one of my favorite prompts I've done so far on this blog. Context: The darling fled with her children to find a better life after Fluffy Sephiroth's corruption in this alternative path of the Domestic AU.

This random Sephthought about baby Jenova just hit me suddenly.

Considering the genetics of both the pregnant darling and Sephiroth, baby Jenova already has better compatibility with JENOVA cells than most. But what truly makes her exceptional was receiving the raw DNA material of her alien progenitor when she was just a mass of cells herself, much earlier than when her father Sephiroth received his dose.

Her father inadvertently followed in the steps of the mad scientist Hojo in a desperate attempt to save his pregnant darling from her degradation. Of course, if Sephiroth could, he would've used his own cells to directly inject his darling with, but his cells can't be copied. So, following from Hojo's own suggestion, he made the decision to have another child with his darling and inject the unborn child with Jenova's cells as soon as it is feasible.

It's rather interesting, since this strange pregnancy created a mutualistic relationship between the pregnant darling and baby Jenova.

I'm not entirely sure if zygotes can have material micro-injected into them, but embryos definitely can. I think Sephiroth would want to give his darling DNA as soon as possible before she succumbs to the degradation. This means baby JENOVA could've received her progenitor cells as early as the zygote stage, but the embryonic stage would work just as well, since that is when the body starts to form. Sephiroth's appearance already tells us that Jenova cells can alter phenotypes, so if baby Jenova got them earlier than him, it would have a greater effect on how she looks. Though, that stage is still so incredibly early and there is a higher risk of complications. But that's a risk Sephiroth will take since time is so crucial to darling...

And I love the idea of Sephiroth secretly feeling guilty about experimenting on his unborn child, despite his disgust for Hojo and Shinra doing the same. But his feelings for the darling overtook any morals he had...

I would seriously love it if anyone with a scientific understanding of both prenatal development and the Jenova project to add in their two cents on this post!

Daddy-daughter day with Sephiroth and baby Jenova? And mommy-son day with Darling and the boys?

Darling used the mother-sons vacation as an excuse to keep the boys in the dark when they left Sephiroth alone at the start of the AU. Coming soon in a fic. if I feel like releasing it.

Sephiroth and baby Jenova: They shared a deep bond, just like Darling and Baby Jenova, as Sephiroth has been communicating with her telepathically since her prenatal stage. It was his voice that she recognized first. Considering the context of her existence and her abilities now, you wouldn't need to guess who was Sephiroth's favorite child.

Jenova and Sephiroth will spend the day exploring the remains of the world, with Sephiroth always keeping a watchful eye on her. The day before, her brothers gave her materia, enough needed to push her to another new life stage. Sephiroth always wondered when she'd start using her mimic ability. He saw her steal his darling's hat at the beach and copy the boys during training. Though during the day, she used her mimic abilities, reading from ruined books or the few organisms left alive. Sephiroth encouraged her to do it, more and more, clearly filled with pride with how far along she has came. Now, the question is if will she continue the path laid out by her alien progenitor?

To end the day, Sephiroth and Jenova returned home, with Jenova showing off a special mimic form to impress the rest of the family. A mimic of someone close and dear to her...

[crisiscutie]

Pool day with the family? I think little Jenova would like the water!

I don't have too much to say about this since I've done a beach fic already which would have similar themes to a pool day. I can tell you that no one would need sunscreen since the sky is always cloudy and gray xD.

But yes, I think she would love swimming and would be a pro at it since she basically is an alien octopi. Darling would be super worried about her swimming, even though Sephiroth insists she'll be fine. It's more so that Darling worries that she wanders off after getting a bit bored. I found a video here that could show what it would be like when she is swimming.

The boys deserve many pool days after dealing with Sephiroth's rigorious training. While he is still a loving father, man is still strict as ever when it comes to training.

[crisiscutie]

Is it weird that I want my own baby Jenova? She’s just adorable! I want an alien baby!!

She truly is adorable! Can't blame you anon! I loved writing how Sephiroth covered her and darling with his wing because the poor baby got spooked by her big brothers. 😭

I'm really intrigued by her physiology, as she's such a fascinating and adorable cutie! I want to write more about it! Though, I can't help but wonder how much she's actually influenced by her forebearer and her human mother. Will she adopt human behavior? Will it be her own nature or if she's simply mimicking what Sephiroth, darling, and her brothers expect or desire to see and feel?

[crisiscutie]

I have a question about baby Jenova. Would she evolve during each stage of her life?

Good question! And I think I can say yes! It makes perfect sense she would continue to develop and grow stronger as she absorbs more materia and lifestream energy throughout her life stages. And she wouldn't grow in the same way a human would, either. Rather, each stage would be dependent on how much power she accumulates. Also, some might have a hard time visualizing baby JENOVA, so I have two references here that could work.

Personally, I like the combination of both images as the reference. Also, when I said Darling's pregnant belly being enormous in Homecoming, I meant it. She essentially birthed a mini eldritch being. And said eldritch being kept her alive during her degradation period. She eventually cured her, as her very essence modified her mother's genetic structure. Much like did Sephiroth did to Lucrecia. Very interesting sciency stuff
