Unless discussed that Zack was dating Aerith, Zack by default never started dating her they were just friends.
AU 1
After Zack was shot down by Shrina Security infantry force, he was left to Die. Zack handed the Buster sword to cloud, telling him to live on and embrace his dreams and become a hero. He passes out, Leaving Cloud to think he's dead.
Cloud allows himself to grieve for a few moments before getting up, using the buster sword to support himself and leave Zack behind.
However, before Zack could actually succumb to his injuries the Turks arrived just in time to save Zack. However he remained in a coma for several years.
Once Zack had woken up and recovered, he left to search for cloud and bought himself a Hardedge sword with money the turks gave him promising them they could rely on him if they needed a helping hand.
Zack and Cloud reunite when Zack walks into 7th heaven searching for him, having gotten tips that a man of Cloud's discription is often found there.
Cloud thought he was seeing a ghost at first, until Zack gives him one of his bear hugs that is.
He reunites with Aerith not long after.
Zack decides to become a Merc and occassionally backs up Avalaunche.
AU 2 After Angeal’s and Genesis' death, Shinra needed to fill at least one of the spots left behind in the SOLDIER force, Zack recommended Cloud. Cloud became a SOLDIER using Sephiroth cells and Mako instead of Jenova cells. Unfortunately Cloud got Mako poisoning and was thought to be a failure. However, Cloud surprised scientists when he quickly recovered, deeming him a success. He did lose some of his memories, however, after a few months he gained some of them back.
Nibelheim incident with Sephiroth never happens. Instead they were just going there because there were a lot of fiends in the area not far from there.
Cloud and Zack found out about some experiments Shinra is doing that had escaped a secret lab not far from the area the Fiends were in. They weren’t supposed to find out about it, they were just supposed to kill them and return without knowing the truth. one of the surviving scientists reported that they found the lab. Shinra decided they knew too much and didn’t want to risk another betrayal, so Shinra declared them missing, but in truth they both knew they had no other option but to go on the run.
However, they ended up heading straight for a trap set by Shinra, which was meant to be the death of them. Sephiroth had been ordered to dispose of them but he refused so the troops were sent out instead.
Zack sacrificed himself to Save an injured Cloud whispering to him to play dead.
After being shot down, left for dead and the Shinra security troops left, Cloud crawled over to him.
Zack handed the Buster sword to Cloud, telling him to live on and embrace his dreams and become a hero thinking he’s taking his last breaths. He passes out, Leaving Cloud to think he's dead. Cloud allows himself to grieve for a few moments before getting up, using the buster sword to support himself.
However, before Zack could actually succumb to his injuries the Turks arrived just in time to save Zack, but Cloud wouldn’t let them near Zack at first until he was told by Cessnei they might be able to save him. Thankfully they did, but Zack remained in a coma for years in a safe house hidden in the slums. During that time, while Cloud waited for him to wake up, he started earning money for them as a Merc to support them not wanting to rely on the Turks, they had already risked so much to help them. He heard about Tifa being in the slums, running a bar called 7th heaven. He reunites with Tifa there, who had left their home town with Zangan for his martial arts teachings to search for Cloud, coming into contact with Avalanche in her search for him, not believing that Cloud would betray Shinra . When Zack did wake up, Cloud hugged him so tightly that Zack had to tell him he couldn’t breathe. Embarrassed, he quickly let go. After Zack recovered, he used some of the money Cloud had put aside for him and ordered himself a Hardedge sword and new clothes, adamantly telling Cloud he could keep the buster sword and would pay him back. His hair had grown longer but he decided not to cut it to its usual length and just got it trimmed to tidy up the split ends. Zack started working as a merc along with Cloud. Meanwhile, Sephiroth killed President Shinra and disappeared.
