Summary: When he's old, Cloud puts his swords on sale.

Disclaimer: Final Fantasy VII isn't mine and the story isn't written for profit.

When he's old, Cloud puts his swords on sale.

He and Tifa are both silent as they collect them all, admiring the blades that are still untouched by rust and testing how their weight feels in their hands. Cloud takes pride in the way he can still hold the Ultima Weapon with untrembling fingers, how the hilt still seems to be molded to his touch.

Putting the last sword away makes him ache, but when Tifa asks him if he's sure, her hand gentle on his shoulder, he says: "It's time for somebody else to do good with them."

And there's no regret.

There is no cutting, buttsex, or even crying in this fic. Refund, plz!




...is it safe to come out yet?

I actually really enjoyed this. I don't think I've ever seen another fic dealing with any of the characters in the twilight of their lives, and it's nice to see Cloud find some peace, even if it's taken that long. I wish it wasn't just a drabble, but you need to tell stories the way you see them.

Just watch out for the axe. You might walk into it. (You obviously missed the secret rape paragraph.)

I like fics where the characters have grown old, but sadly they're really rare, and I don't think I've ever seen any in FFVII. But I thought Cloud deserved some peace for his last days. I'm glad that you enjoyed this. This one is just a drabble, but maybe in the future there will be a longer story.

Aww! But I have to say, my favorite part was Tifa being there. I bet they're the cutest little old couple.

I bet that too! They would be so adorable.. perhaps a subject for future fic? (Not just me, you know..)

I have a lot of LJ stories to catch up on. I'm glad I started here! I really liked it!

*stalking you from Fanfiction.net* muahahahaha. *coughs* sorry!

Hi there! I don't mind the stalking, and I'm glad you liked the drabble! I was very satisfied with it, so I like that it's liked.
