    Summary

    The hotel got worse each step down the hallway. Nicotine stained the walls and ceilings, more smoke than actual color. It was muggy, too, muggy with sweat. And it had a weird smell. Some kind of heady odor that he recognized, but couldn’t quite place. It wafted up from the piles of bedsheets they had to sidestep, tossed outside hotel doors that seemed to all have a do not disturb sign with hearts scribbled on them.

     

    In short, a total shithole.

     

    The search for a drink Cloud and Aerith need to trade for a certain tiara takes longer than expected.

    Summary

    In a way, this is all she ever wanted: to get her hands dirty and see what the soil’s like outside of Midgar, freedom from the persistent shadow of the city and the suits that kept her trapped inside.
     
    Freedom.

    But having company along the way is nice, too.

    On the road, Aerith journals about the different plants she finds, but learns about someone else just as much.

    Summary

    It might be a new favorite––Cloud’s neediness, the way he so desperately wants something, when he’s always so afraid to ask. She likes seeing him this way, maybe loves him for it.

    Summary

    Wishing isn’t something Cloud normally does, but he tries anyway. Just this once, just to see.

    (OR: filling in the spaces of a Certain Scene).

    (Unintentionally) Written for Aerith Week 2021; inspiration pulled from the prompts "Prayer" and "Cherishing the Memories"!

    Summary

    It's because he’s like Zack.

    And he is. It’s uncanny. He’s just like Zack. Except for in all the ways he isn’t. Which is most of him.

    He’s like a cat. One that’s fallen clumsily from a table and landed squarely on its rump rather than gracefully on its feet like reputation demands. One that immediately begins grooming itself as if to deny any lapse in dignity. It’s fine, nothing happened. No slip ups, no mistakes, what are you talking about? Stop looking.

    But she can’t stop looking.
