Sins of the Father
Sins of the Father is a Final Fantasy VII fanfiction written by troper Mystwalker. It's hosted on Fanfiction.net and can be found right here. The fic uses the pairings AeriSeph, Yuffentine, and Cloti, but mostly focuses on the Babies Ever After aspect of it.
The fanfiction's main character is Zephyr "Z" Gainsborough, Aerith and Sephiroth's child, and her Nakama. It's Better Than It Sounds. (At least, this troper would hope so.)
Note: Readers who are also tropers (if any of them exist), have the author's full permission to edit this trope page and add in any tropes they feel fit the story.
