    Summary

    It's just two weak pillars supporting one another. What difference does it make if they get married?
    From the perspective of canon, not much. They are so low-key about the relationship that not even all the other Hashira know about it. Giyuu and Shinobu promised one another to prioritize their demon slaying missions, but that locus of priority can make it difficult to navigate their roles as spouses. What happens with their missions is of no real concern to the other, right? Maybe they both need to talk more, before they find bigger things to argue about than fictional baby names.

    This is the chronological version of my somewhat popular Tumblr-based AU, with doodles showing how this sort of lens through which to view canon either makes everything funnier or much more painful. The doodles will be posted here as relevant, but long-time followers of the AU have lots of new material to look forward to.

    Summary

    **COMPLETE**

    Aerith Gainsborough knows how her story ends: a destined sacrifice, an inevitable tragedy, a martyr's fate. But when glimpses of love, friendship, and the simple beauty of life begin to rewrite what she's always believed, Aerith wonders—can destiny be defied? Should it?

    A story of the moments in between FFVII Rebirth and beyond. Follow Aerith as she navigates her role as savior as a spirit in the Lifestream, regaining memories that the trauma of her death took from her. Can she internalize the lessons learned along her journey? Is the inevitable heartache worth her budding romance with Cloud Strife?

    And most importantly: can there be a happily-ever-after waiting for her at the end?

    Summary

    Aerith is beauty personified.

    That’s the only thing that Cloud can think of—she’s beautiful like a sunrise on the edges of the horizon, light bursting forth to drive out the night. It’s in her smile, in her eyes, in the way she reaches out with one hand to touch his shoulder, as if this is a game she’s playing but for what end Cloud doesn’t know.

    “Are you ready to go?” 

    Cloud answers before he has even a moment to think, because he doesn’t need to think. 

    “No.”
