Shards Of Memory is a Final Fantasy fanfiction written by Drake Clawfang. Set in the world of Dissidia Final Fantasy, the core of the story is that it follows Terra and Cloud on their quests for their Crystals. While they travel together and come to trust each other, the various Warriors of Chaos are still plotting against their respective heroic counterparts, Sephiroth and Kefka being those chosen to oppose Cloud and Terra. Thus Cloud deals with nightly Mind Rape courtesy of Sephiroth inflicting Laser-Guided Amnesia on him in his sleep to erase his memories of Aerith, with the ultimate intent of seizing control of Cloud's mind. Meanwhile Kefka uses his Crystal to play havoc with Terra's control over her powers. As a result the two are forced to confront their Dark And Troubled Pasts, which they keep hidden from the other. This only causes problems down the road as Sephiroth and Kefka try to turn them against each other.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Besides the titular protagonists and their rivals, the story also focuses heavily on Golbez, Jecht, and Emperor Mateus, the latter briefly usurping Garland as The Dragon at the height of his role. It's also a Pragmatic Adaptation—the timeline and events are redone, the backstories for the Crystals, Chaos, and the Warrior of Light are completely different, and several new concepts that have no basis for the actual canon are introduced. While it is intended as a shipping fic, there's not as much romance as good friendship between Cloud and Terra, though deeper feelings are hinted at and remarked on by other characters.At over 250,000 words and 40 chapters with an epilogue, the story is completed and is currently one of the longest Dissidia fanfictions on Fanfiction.net. Can be read here.

Adaptational Villainy: Kuja's Anti-Villain traits from Dissidia 012 are left out since it was released after the fic was well underway. Sephiroth is much more obviously a villain and wants to conquer Cloud's world, as opposed to Dissidia's Punch-Clock Villain Warrior Poet interpretation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

comment
Adaptational Heroism: Shinryu was an antagonistic force in Dissidia, but in the fic is far more benevolent, though still self-interested. While it doesn't care about any of the worlds or warriors in particular, it does keep Omega sealed away in the Void because it's not about to let it destroy the multiverse. Shinryu also shows genuine gratitude to the heroes for ending the cycle of war, since that means any risk of Omega powering up and breaking the seal is now gone.

Above Good and Evil: Shinryu is ancient and powerful beyond human comprehension, and it's spent untold eons wandering the multiverse doing as it likes. It casually comments that it has created and destroyed worlds many times just to have something to do, and We Are as Mayflies to it.

comment
Chaos. In the canon he was manipulated by Garland and Cid into starting the cycles of war, and then became an Orcus on His Throne who didn't care about them. In this fic he goes along with the cycles from the start, and eventually decides to find a way to betray Cid and Cosmos and kill Cosmos to escape the cycles of war, and with his freedom he'll become a Multiversal Conqueror. Fortunately, the heroes were able to kill him for the final time before that happened.
