#Clerithtine

[thebirdqueen]

Aerith going from being stalked her entire life by scientists, Shinra, and especially Turks to being around and protected.....by a Turk. Ex Turk yes but still. Same with a Shinra trooper. Two aspects of her life that are sources of pain later become sources of joy and comfort. She might not always see it as that way like with caring about Tseng, but they still were painful. Pushing uncomfortable boundaries at times that she took face front.

Aerith is the flower field that blooms with the comfort of the sunset. Cloud in this case can't help but direct his energy to those flower fields. Soon the night dawns on both as they are hushed by his dark blanket. Vincent.....

[thebirdqueen]

Imagining a fluff scenario where Vincent is between a sleepy Cloud and Aerith. Cloud with his arms crossed and lightly has his head on Vincent's shoulder while Aerith is grabbing his claw arm and has her head fully on his shoulder. Vincent is starting to fall asleep as well thanks to the warmth of the two. They all feel comfortable in the silence....

Vincent is like a hedgehog. Covered in sharp spikes that act as a defense mechanism. A human barrier few can navigate through or handle. The few who do see what lies beneath those spikes are meet with a soft core.

Cloud and Aerith have their spikes as well. They understand why they exist yet like him can't help but put them up. Bit by bit though they will get pass that tangled "trap" and maybe then, they can achieve a true human understanding. True human intimacy.

Can't stop thinking about Cloud/Aerith/Vincent. I'm rn working on thumbnails for two comics of them.

Oh yeah I'm stuck on the name. Idk what I should call it. I'm going maybe with Clerithtine though idk if that sounds or feels right.

How many of y'all see the vision/appeal of Cloud/Aerith/Vincent.......

[thebirdqueen]

Cloud has two hands!!

One for Aerith. The other for Vincent.
