The Fifth Act / Fan Fic | comment |
The Fifth Act by Sinnatious is a Final Fantasy VII Peggy Sue fic, which brilliantly defies the 'formula' set by Final Fantasy VII Peggy Sue fics.After an accident with a Time materia, Cloud is thrown into the past (not returned to his old body) before the events of Crisis Core. With the realization that he could prevent a lot of tragedy, he sets off to kill Sephiroth. Being Cloud, what he actually planned is entirely different from what he ends up doing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Expanded Universe oneshots available hereAlso available on Ao3. | |

The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_1086f287 | comment |
Sure, Let's Go with That: Cloud goes with a villager's assumption that he's a relative of the timeline's Cloud Strife. He later goes with Zack's assumption that he's a washed-up mercenary. | |

I Was Quite a Looker: Implied, as when Cloud's mother meets him, she accidentally verifies Cloud's cover story of being his biological father's brother as he strongly looks like his father. Cloud's biological father being President Shinra. | |

You Can't Thwart Stage One | |
The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_15385326 | comment |
You Can't Thwart Stage One: Cloud's has three stages: kill Hojo, kill Jenova and kill Sephiroth. Stage Three is attempted early by Cloud trying to kill Sephiroth in Wutai. He fails when Genesis intervenes. Stage Two has Cloud and Vincent go to the Nibelheim Reactor to kill Jenova, only to find out she wasn't there yet. Stage One has Cloud joining ShinRa to track down Hojo, only to never find him. | |

Pyrrhic Villainy: Sure, Angeal succeeds in kidnapping Cloud and selling him out to Hollander in order to find a cure. He then finds out that Hollander has no intention of curing him and fully intends to experiment on Cloud to find out what made Cloud superior. Then Hollander is killed and Cloud is kidnapped again with no cure to show for it. He betrayed Cloud's and his friends' trust, is now a fugitive and has completely betrayed his ideals. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: In-Universe example, a Midgar Zolom was far away from it's swamp habitat and in the the rocky plains. Justified in that the environments have been in flux for years and the Zolom was hunting. Further justified because the Planet "misplaced" it to set up Cloud's Peggy Sue adventure. | |

Title Drop | |
The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Genesis brings up the Fifth Act of the LOVELESS play, which is the lost ending to the story and how it varies from happy endings to tragedies. The way that various characters say it should have ended actually reflects their character arcs: Genesis, for example, used to prefer the tragic endings but after his brush with death and gaining a new lease on life, he is beginning to like the happier ending. | |

Multiple Endings | |
The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Due to Loveless' unfinished nature, the play has many different endings. The tragic endings, the heroes Jumping Off the Slippery Slope or failing to save the world. The Bittersweet Endings, the heroes succeed but their bond breaks apart or some of them die. The happy endings, the heroes succeed with all of them surviving and hooking with their Love Interest, who would either be a normal girl or the Goddess they made the promise to. | |

Dismotivation: Kunsel initially didn't try for First Class as he has a comfortable position teaching (and gathering information) and thought he was overshadowed by people such as Zack. It isn't until Cloud starts encouraging him and teaching him materia that Kunsel decides to aim for First Class. | |

The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Sephiroth, why didn't you explain to Cloud why you burned down the ShinRa mansion instead of cryptically quoting Loveless? If Genesis and Cloud told Angeal that there was a cure in the making maybe Cloud wouldn't have been kidnapped. Kunsel goes off to investigate a lead to Cloud without telling Zack or anyone else where he's going or what his suspicions are. Which means that when he inevitably gets captured, the trail just goes cold and no one can help him. | |

More Than Mind Control: How Jenova is able to possess Cloud; by taking advantage of his shock from the revelations of his origins, disgust of ShinRa and self-loathing and sense of superiority, she makes him open for Reunion. | |

Nom de Mom: "Strife" turns out to be Cloud's mother's surname since she never got married. This becomes important when the time-traveling Cloud poses as his younger self's paternal uncle, his surname goes unnoticed until Genesis pulls the thread and realizes that Cloud has the wrong surname for a supposed paternal uncle. | |

Worf Had the Flu: In his initial introduction, Genesis manages to keep up with Cloud before he ends up crippled by his degradation wound flaring up. Cloud manages to get ambushed and knocked out by Angeal. What helped is that Cloud was unaware that something was wrong and the honorable Angeal is the last person one would expect a betrayal. Angeal can do little to stop the Jenova-possessed Cloud as he is without a weapon, has reached the terminal stages of degradation, and is severely weakened. | |

Took a Level in Kindness: Genesis is a much more pleasant and easy going individual when he is cured of his degradation and gains a new lease on life. He becomes more appreciative and concerned for his friends and less resentful of Sephiroth. When Cloud comes in and quickly surpasses him, Sephiroth becomes more humble and empathetic when he is in someone else's shadow for once. He realizes how badly he treated Genesis and Angeal and how he took them for granted. He tries to be more tactful when one of his comments drove Cloud into a murderous rage. | |

Divided We Fall | |
The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_56d5b88f | comment |
Divided We Fall: Conflicts within SOLDIER prevent them as communicating as effectively about problems and drive the plot. Part of the reason Cloud was captured so long was that his would-be rescuers didn't trust each other and couldn't communicate effectively. It takes a Contrived Coincidence and 11th-Hour Ranger to get them moving. | |

Spanner in the Works: Everyone gets a turn at this: Cloud is one to SOLDIER just by showing up. Yuffie accidentally saves her father's life by taking Cloud's materia, which prevented Cloud from assassinating him and forcing Cloud to work a diplomatic solution. Kunsel is one to Hojo when he escapes because Hojo's near successful plan tumbles apart when Kunsel reaches the other SOLIDERs. Mini Cloud inadvertently helps the Soldiers unravel the truth through his journey to find the elder Cloud. | |

Hourglass Plot | |
The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_66907f54 | comment |
Hourglass Plot: Cloud is initially a humble nobody hoping to stop several tragedies. Genesis is forever stuck in Sephiroth's shadow and resentful of it. Sephiroth is the pride of ShinRa, arrogant with it being justified because no one could beat him. Cloud is proven to be the stronger man and becomes ShinRa's top SOLDIER despite his hatred of the company if it means he gets to kill Sephiroth and gets a lot of attention both positive and negative. Genesis becomes a hero in his own right as Hero of Wutai and becomes appreciative of his life and his friends when he came close to losing them. Sephiroth realizes for the first time what it means to be someone's shadow and wanting to reach someone's level of strength but being unable to and is able to empathize with Genesis. Cloud deliberately attempts to isolate himself while Genesis and Sephiroth attempt to include him. Cloud falls into madness when revealed the truth of his origins while Genesis and Sephiroth remain sane and stop him. | |

(Cloud is in his mid-late twenties while Aeris is still a teenager.) Presumably, old!Cloud and Tifa also fall under this for similar reasons. | |

The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: Angeal and the villagers of Nibelheim play this the straightest, as they are the only major characters who canonically died before the timeskip late in Crisis Core yet live to the end of this tale. Lazard, Genesis, Zack, President Shinra, Aeris, and Sephiroth play with the trope since the fic ends at least 4 years before their canonical deaths, but the common threads linking their deaths (Genesis and Sephiroth's Face Heel Turns) have both been defused and their lifespan is looking pretty good. | |

The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_74f57438 | comment |
Cell Phones Are Useless: Once in the past, Cloud tries to call Tifa for the the call not to connect. It turns out it's because the number doesn't exist yet. Cell phones come back as a metaphor for emotional connection. Cloud's contact list is filled with dead numbers or people who (currently) have no connection to him whatsoever symbolizing how he has no friends or family in the past and he's completely alone. Tseng even lampshades it: Cloud giving his cell phone number to Vincent is a metaphor for how Vincent is his only connection that Cloud is willing to listen to. His cell phone ends up being key in his rescue as the First Classes use it to find him. | |

The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want of a Nail: Cloud's presence and action cause a tidal wave of effects. Genesis becomes the Hero of Wutai instead of Sephiroth since he doesn't have his degradation holding him back. Wutai retains its independence with Cloud convincing them to surrender on their own terms, and they are implied to have a more successful recursion. Because Kunsel was already investigating Cloud's disappearance, he takes the fateful Nibelheim mission instead of Zack. Genesis never defects, but Angeal does. Hollander's death cuts short any further experimentation on his end. It also cripples Lazard, who was his sponsor. Since Hojo and Jenova are dead, there will be no Geostigma or DEEPGROUND. | |

The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_868409c | comment |
Broken Pedestal: Cloud is adored as The Ace throughout ShinRa for his skill, known to match Sephiroth and being a good mentor to those willing to seek him out. He falls off this when they find out that he essentially planned a murder-suicide for himself and Sephiroth. This ends up being for the best as they can finally help Cloud and truly befriend him. | |

I Thought Everyone Could Do That: Cloud thought he was rather average in SOLDIER strength and speed since his only basis for comparison was Sephiroth and Zack and sent most of his career training to catch up. During the SOLDIER exam, he is surprised that he's actually unique even among SOLDIER. Later, he finds out that he actually surpasses Sephiroth in strength. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Genesis reflexively casts status spells on Cloud, even though he does know it doesn't affect Cloud. Inverted when they have to fight a Jenova-possessed Cloud, Genesis casts a Sleep spell on Cloud and non-lethally takes him down because Cloud lost his immunity. A tragic example, when Cloud and Sephiroth's rematch goes horribly wrong Sephiroth defends himself by attacking. While Cloud manages to hold back in time, Angeal who was intervening ends up taking the blow and gets horribly wounded. | |

Foreshadowing: A Nibelheim local comments that Mayor Lockhart doesn't like Cloud because he's afraid "he'll leave a trail of bastards". Guess what Cloud's father did? Ms Strife freaks out at sight of Cloud and tries to shoot him because his "brother"note Cloud's father and his family did something horrible to her and she doesn't want them to take her son. There is a good reason to why she freaked out. At one point Cloud muses on how to destroy Jenova, remembering that she's vulnerable to mundane means and that a few good Fires should finish her off. Genesis does exactly that, firing off a bunch of Firagas and burning Jenova to ash. When Vincent first tries to talk down Cloud from killing Sephiroth, Cloud utterly refuses to acknowledge such notions and wouldn't even lie or budge even if it meant losing Vincent as an ally. | |

Protagonist Journey to Villain: While Cloud is helpful and generous to others, he grows more embittered and frustrated as his journey continues. He gets blinded by his hatred of Sephiroth, frustrated at his glacial progress in tracking down Jenova and Hojo and increasingly aware of his own power. He becomes mentally unbalanced after he is tortured and experimented on and finds out that President Shinra is his father. His mental instability combined with his previous frustration and knowledge of the truth allows him to easily get possessed by Jenova. | |

The Friend Nobody Likes: While Genesis, Angeal and Zack like Sephiroth, they don't trust him, at all. Angeal and Genesis kept their terminal illness a secret out of shame and resentment. Genesis and Zack initially keep Sephiroth out of their investigation of Cloud's disappearance in fear Sephiroth would turn on them as he is loyal to ShinRa and Cloud's disappearance is a company cover-up. Sephiroth himself notes how no one trusts him. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain!: By capturing Kunsel and putting him captivity with Cloud, Kunsel is given the truth of Cloud's past and helps the Soldiers find him when Kunsel escapes. Hojo's habit of disabling the audio functions of the security cameras so he wouldn't have to hear the experiments' screaming allows Kunsel and Cloud to make an escape plan without him finding out. | |

Moral Myopia: Cloud's desire to kill Sephiroth to prevent the tragedies he causes could be seen as heroic if wasn't for the fact that Sephiroth at that point didn't commit any of his future crimes. Due to Cloud's intervention, Sephiroth never defects or goes mad and instead attempts to befriend Cloud numerous times despite the latter's hostility and open desire to kill him. Cloud even temporarily loses Vincent as an ally due to the fact the latter is understandingly hesitant to kill someone who hasn't done anything wrong. | |

Demoted to Extra: Most of Cloud's comrades in the original game (except ironically the optional characters Yuffie and Vincent) get at most cameos. Justified in that it's years before FFVII; most of the characters are too young or have (so far) no beef with ShinRa. As it's about the same time period, most of the major characters in Crisis Core have significant roles. The big exception is Cissnei who only appears in one brief scene. | |

Irony | |
The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Cloud finally becomes SOLDIER like he wanted, but he no longer cares for that dream. In the Final Fantasy VII, Cloud was obsessed with Sephiroth: first to be acknowledged and later to be his enemy while Sephiroth didn't really care for him. Now, Sephiroth wants Cloud to be his friend and/or rival while Cloud wants nothing to do with him. In the original Final Fantasy VII, Cloud was basically seen as a loser when the truth came out and Hojo didn't even recognize Cloud, even though he experimented on him for years. Hojo of this timelime thinks Cloud is his most perfect creation and scolded the other Hojo for not recognizing his own success. Cloud is working to kill Sephiroth to prevent the tragedies and deaths of his original timeline when the latter succumbed to madness. It's due to Cloud's interference that Sephiroth never goes insane becomes a more kinder and heroic figure. | |

Interservice Rivalry: As in canon, all of the departments in ShinRa are at odds, struggling for power and funding. Cloud gets a glimpse of this when Lazard tries to recruit him to help plot against ShinRa. This all comes to a head when Cloud is kidnapped. Lazard authorized the kidnapping for Hollander, his mole in the Science Department. However, he's outmaneuvered by Hojo who gains the approval of the President who orders the Turks and parts of the regular troops to support him. Meanwhile, the First Class solders are about to mutiny for their lost friends. Even within departments and factions there is conflict as each individual is struggling between their loyalties to ShinRa, their department and their friends. The Gambit Pileup escalates until Midgar is this close to a civil war. | |

Indy Ploy: Deconstructed as Cloud's biggest problem is that he never plans ahead and makes things up as he goes. This leads to a lot of his earlier actions biting him in the ass. | |

Karmic Jackpot: Cloud, upon witnessing Genesis suffering due to the initial stages of his degradation, unthinkingly gives him a vial of spring water so he can heal himself. End result: the world is spared the horrors of Crisis Core, Sephiroth never goes insane, and Everybody Lives (Hojo and Hollander don't count). | |

Divergent Character Evolution | |
The Fifth Act / Fan Fic / int_e5d37e0f | comment |
Divergent Character Evolution: Young Cloud had the same personality of the elder Cloud when he was the same age. While he's just as determined as his uncle, he's a lot more cheerful and expressive as he doesn't have the Dark and Troubled Past. His inferiority complex hasn't grown to the severity of his uncle's due to the latter's encouragement and the fact he did got into SOLDIER. Since he idolizes Genesis instead of Sephiroth, he's aiming to become a Magic Knight and is well-read due to becoming a fan of the Loveless play to the point that he can quote it from memory. According to Genesis and Zack the only thing that Cloud and young Cloud have in common is their looks and their name. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: Game mechanics are fully justified and explained within story. When Cloud compares his materia to Zack's materia, he explains that wild materia like what he relies on tend to be more cost-heavy with more power while Zack's ShinRa man-made materia are very limited and simple but easier to use. Since Cloud's Ribbon is a very rare item, the rest of the cast have no idea how Cloud is resisting status effects. | |

A World Half Full: Midgar and the Planet by the end of the story. Yes, ShinRa still controls the world and is draining the Lifestream. But the terrible tragedy and huge death tolls from Meteor, Geostigma and Deepground never happened, Midgar isn't as bad as Cloud remembers it, Wutai retains a large amount of its autonomy and there's plenty of high ranking employees willing to change ShinRa. As Aerith says, "The Planet's stronger than you think." | |
