Fics like the lightning that preceded it struck no one but myself

Pre-AC, after the start of the Geostigma crisis. Cloud is traveling around the continent, searching for some way to cure Denzel (and himself), and hiding from the demons of his past. As he explores the ruins of an old Shinra lab in Junon, he’s hit with a bad wave from the stigma. He passes out, and when he awakens, he finds himself still in the lab...but it’s a working lab, in an alternate Gaia where the events of his world never came to pass. Cloud is captured by Hojo for the second time in his life. Luckily, the Cloud Strife of this Gaia is a SOLDIER, and is sent to Junon on a mission with Zack. They save the injured and comatose Cloud and bring him to Midgar, where Shinra arrives at the conclusion that since his DNA matches Cloud, Zack, and Sephiroth, he must be the product of an experiment to create a super SOLDIER with their genes. Some would call this man a clone. Zack prefers the term "son".
