Eeeeeee! ♥ ♥ ♥ Protective!Cloud is Protective! I love how he's got the green Jenova eyes, and how his clothes are a blend of the trio's uniform and his game outfit. Loz's grin is awesome and challenging, and Cloud's comforting, "There, there, it's okay" actions to Kadaj are adorable, as is Yazoo's rather nonchalant, "Yeah, yeah, let's go kill things" attitude. The quick little reference to Zack made me heart bubble too, and wonder if that was a memory-fragment, or Ghost!Zack peeking in from the Lifestream.
...and now I want to know more about this 'verse, because it fascinates me, and I want to know how things turned out like this. o_o
