"His mind is like Grand Central Station - everybody's traipsing through it. He lost his own identity, had Sephiroth get in and control him, had Tifa get in and dig through his memories (to help, yes, but doesn't change the fact that she was in there), had Zack's voice in his brain...
So at that point, where does Cloud feel "safe"?"

This is gonna sound weird as hell but this resonates greatly with my trauma. You said you're writing a fic about it. I'd love to see it if you don't mind. Maybe it'll help me a bit.

It doesn't sound weird, honestly. *hugs* I'm sorry you had to go through that. Of course I'd be happy to share the fic with you, if you think it might help. The only thing is, it's not posted anywhere yet, even though there's like 40k of it already written; I wanted to try and complete the thing before I post. So if you have some way that you're comfortable unanoning, I could share the files with you, but I also totally understand if not.

Incidentally: it's a time-travel fix-it fic, only Cloud is mostly avoiding Shinra, and kind of having to go through a lot of stuff as a child again and rethink himself, his relationships, etc. There's a lot of hurting, and tbh he really needs some therapy which he's not getting because his world is shitty like that, but the purpose of the fic is for him to over time learn to open himself up, understand himself better, and forge new relationships, and maybe lay some old demons to rest (and save the world).
Like I said, it's not explicitly about these things, but these are some of the lines I'm having Cloud deal with emotionally, even though he's not really aware himself. Yet.

Thank you! Do you have an AO3 or FF.net account? I could follow that for when you post it. I don't have a dreamwidth acct so i cant really unanon.

Sure. My Ao3 is the same as here,

Sure. My Ao3 is the same as here, <a href="http://archiveofourown.org/users/Ketita/works>Ketita</a>. My ff.net is <a href="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/450175/">Tramontana Keeper</a>. I'll probably post it on both of them, though it will probably take several more months to complete (I estimate the final thing at ~100k or so).
