The Fifth Act: Expanded Universe
I’ve been meaning to make this post for a while, no time like the present.
Despite having not touched anything related to the fic for some time, The Fifth Act seems to have been doing quite well without my input and has even kind of developed expanded universe, which is awesome. I try and post links when other people do things, but that's dependent almost entirely on whatever my LJ posting habits are that month. Figured it was about time to collate all the relevant links into one post!
To begin with, here are the links to the main story itself.
The Fifth Act
Gen. Cloud has an accident with a Time materia.
LJ Chapter Directory / FF.net version
I would actually recommend the FF.net version to people now, as it had two extended scenes (one regarding Yuffie and the other Lazard), and many other changes, mostly fixing typos and consistency errors.
After that, I also wrote:
The Fifth Act: Yuffie Redux
Christmas prompt fill for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
swyrel , featuring Cloud, younger!Cloud, Yuffie, and Genesis, takes place after the end of Fifth Act.
LJ version / FF.net version
AU One-Shots
These following one-shots are also written by me, however none of them are to be considered at all in-universe. (AU's of an AU, essentially. Fic-ception.)
An Unexpected Meeting
Christmas oneshot forgardensgnome. Cloud always thought Kunsel was a city-kid, but discovers that he can native almost anywhere.
Big Brothers
Christmas oneshot forswyrel. The clone triplets turn up in the Fifth Act universe. This totally ruins Cloud's day.
Hero Vs Dark Nation
Christmas oneshot forteekoness , featuring young!Cloud, Angeal!Chimera, Rufus, and Dark Nation, meeting on ShinRa's rooftop.
On the Way Back From The Goblin Bar
Christmas oneshot forsilvershadowkit. A bit slashy. Cloud and Sephiroth drag a drunk Zack and Genesis home. Zack speculates. Loudly.
Jealousy
Christmas oneshot forfiredraygon97 . Genesis is possessive over his saviour. Genesis and Cloud centric.
Secret Admirer
Christmas oneshot forsearisme. Genesis/Cloud. Cloud was almost certain he was being stalked.
It Works In the Movies
Kunsel/Cloud. This was the result of a mis-read prompt fromswyrel. It was set in the Fifth Act verse because I had no idea of how else it could happen. Kunsel hides Cloud from Sephiroth.
For Fallen Comrades
Another Fifth Act AU - a 'what if', the what if being 'what if Cloud had gone back even further in time?'. This was a Christmas drabble fill forfiredraygon97 that I stretched the interpretation of a bit.
LJ version / FF.net version
Perils of Dimensional Travel
Christmas oneshot forpeangallery. A crossover with a Duodecim fic I wrote called Fallacious Deity - where the survivors from Fallacious Deity wind up in the Act V universe as they attempt to find their way home.
Two Sides of a Time-Travelling Gil
Christmas oneshot forswyrel. Younger!Cloud finds out the truth about his 'uncle'.
Sharing
Christmas oneshot forisadorathegreat. A continuation of 'Two Sides of a Time-Travelling Gil'. Younger!Cloud attempts to reconcile his future self and his mother.
Highly Dangerous Merchandise
Christmas oneshot forsignrain. Cloud has jumped to a new timeline but still can't avoid cross-dressing.
Chocobo Grand Prix
Christmas oneshot forfiredraygon97. The Gold Saucer is holding a grand prix style chocobo race, and Cloud has a need for speed.
A Bad Habit
Christmas oneshot forpeangallery. The others become aware of the Zack inside Cloud.
The Worst Mission Luck
Christmas oneshot forgardensgnome. Kunsel and Cloud are on a bike outrunning monsters.
The Golden Chocobos
Christmas oneshot fortsuyuhime. Cloud discovers some of what his fanclub has been up to.
Twenty-Two Hours
Christmas oneshot fortsuanyue. Cloud gets stuck in a time loop with Sephiroth.
Fic By Other Authors
The Space Left By You bytenshinoakuma
The story of those left behind in Cloud's original timeline.
Fifth Act: Intermission
Humorous one-shot byteekoness , featuring Zack and Vincent, set between Chapter 35 and 36 of The Fifth Act. In which Vincent attempts to perform his very solemn duty. Unfortunately for him, it's not going as well as he hoped.
LJ version / FF.net version (I recommend the LJ version for the font work.)
Visitations
One-shot by Carzla (akakazura_uyurin) set post-Fifth Act. On Cloud's suggestion, Vincent takes Sephiroth to meet Lucrecia.
LJ version / FF.net version
Midnight Exchange
One-shot by Carzla, prequel to Visitations.
LJ version / FF.net version
Time After Time
By suliel. An 'inspired by' fic prompted by On the Way Back From The Goblin Bar. Can be read as a continuation of that prompt if you're hungry for more.
The Show Must Go On
AU sequel by J.Finch. Summary: Though the Fifth Act has come to a close, there is always another story just waiting to be told upon that bright and shining stage. Villains, old and new still lurk in the shadows, for a hero's work is never done, and the show must go on.
After the 5th Act
Multi-part sequel by Eriol-sama (akagackt_gratia ). A collection of stories meant to be picked up straight after the epilogue. Starts out fairly gen, gets slashier later on. Beta'd by WintersHeart1766.
LJ version - Part 1, 2, 3, 4 / FF.net version
Everything Else Awesome And Vaguely Related
Podfic version
lunchy_munchy did an incredible podfic of the whole of Fifth Act, complete with musical interludes. It can be found here.
Skijamaraz is doing a Youtube podfic reading of Fifth Act. The first chapter can be found here.
Spanish Translation
MikoAucarod diligently translated the entirety of The Fifth Act on FF.net into Spanish - El Quinto Acto.
He has also translated The Fifth Act: Yuffie Redux: El Quinto Acto: El Regreso de Yuffie and For Fallen Comrades: Por los Compañeros Caídos
AMV
'What You'll Be' amv by very talented AMV artist Nashidesei, loosely inspired by the Fifth Act. Mostly including this link because the video is awesome and more people should see it. There's an LJ link for this too somewhere but I seem to have lost it. :(
Art
Obi-Quiet did a fanart of Chapter 36 Cloud. Can be found here.
