Love Is A Lot Like Dancing (Kelley O’Hara x Reader)

A/N: Kelley finds herself captivated by a street performer who changes her life forever.

You’re lost in the music, much like you usually are when performing, your arms calculatingly rolling and flailing in the air.

Your body rolls and bends through each move you’d choreographed, moves you now know by heart.

By now, there’s a crowd around you as the song plays.

People are taking pictures, many entranced by your performance, which is exactly what you need.

You somersault, rolling into a move that has the crowd around you cheering.

You engage the crowd, smirking as you pluck a hat off of someone’s head, chuckling at the look on their face as you continue your routine.

You grab the bill of the person’s hat and do a flip, keeping your hand on the bill of the hat as you do so.

The crowd claps and cheers, a number of them tossing money into a nearby box you’d set up, which much to your excitement is full of cash.

You gently take a child’s hand in your own, giving them a playful spin before you leap backwards, up onto a concrete landing to continue your routine.

The crowd claps, smiling as you do a front flip off the concrete landing before dropping into the middle of the circle they’d made around you.

The crowd explodes, some whistling and others cheering as you give them a bow, breathing heavily to fill your lungs with air.

People make their way to the front of the crowd, tossing money into your open box, which you take with a grateful nod and a grin.

The people stop coming and you throw your head back with a lengthy sigh, your eyes closing.

“Looks like a good day’s work to me.” You mumble to yourself as you move to your feet and take the box of money into your hands.

You grab your nearby bag and sling it over your shoulder before your eyes widen.

You flip around sighing when you realize the person who’s hat you’d taken was sitting on the concrete landing you were dancing on, waiting patiently, their arms cross across their chest, face hidden behind a pair of sunglasses.

“I am so sorry.” You grin apologetically as you pull the hat off your head and pass it to the woman who grins.

“Don’t worry about it, I loved your performance, you’re talented.” She grins, moving to her feet.

“Thank you so much, it’s just a hobby.” You shrug as you place the box of money beside the woman.

“Is it safe to walk around with so much cash?” She asks with a chuckle and you shrug.

“Probably not, but I’m not too worried.” You smirk. “I think the word got around the last time someone tried to rob me I beat the shit out of them.” You chuckle when the woman laughs.

“Looks are deceiving it seems.” The woman smirks and you wiggle your brows playfully.

“I’m sorry I took your hat by the way, kind of a routine thing.” You shrug and the woman’s grin only widens.

“So, I’m not special?” She asks and you wink.

“Oh, trust me, if I pick you, you’re special.”

You gather your belongings and let out a massive sigh.

“So, see you around?” You smile and the nameless woman nods.

“Yeah you will.”

�� ***

That interaction is what leads to the woman coming to not only one, but multiple performances.

This time though, you realize people were not only watching your performance, but paying attention to her as well.

Your performance ends and people move to toss money into your donation box as the familiar woman makes her way towards you.

“Seems like their eyes weren’t only on me today.” You look up at her with a smirk and she shrugs.

“You so celebrity under those shades?” You ask with a wink and a grin, realizing that after the words had left your mouth, the woman tenses.

“Wait, are you? Seriously?” You ask as you take a step towards her.

The woman stays stock still, even when you boldly reach up and pull her sunglasses off to see famous USWNT soccer player, Kelley O’Hara.

“Holy fuck.” You whisper.

Kelley barks out a laugh.

“You’re a soccer legend!” You shake your head in disbelief, slipping her shades back on her face. “I bet you have better things to do than watching someone dance.” You sigh and she rolls her eyes.

“Actually, I think I’m right where I should be.” She shrugs as she takes your bag and you blush.

“Oh, following me now?” You wink, it now being Kelley’s turn to blush.

“Figured you wouldn’t mind a little help.” She shrugs and you grin.

“I wouldn’t mind it at all.” You smile softly and Kelley beams.

***

Kelley had been walking you to the subway every day after that, sure to carry your bag as the two of you chatted about everything and nothing at all.

Kelley would stand outside of the subway car, watching until eventually you and the car were out of sight.

One day, during your dance, it started to rain, which unfortunately made those watching your performance flee for cover.

Begrudgingly, you scramble to grab your things, your box of money and your bag, rushing to get out of the now heavily falling rain.

The rain suddenly stops, at least the rain that was dropping on you, courtesy of Kelley O’Hara who’s standing over you, umbrella in hand.

“My hero.” You grin as you move to your feet.

Kelley’s cheeks are pink and you smirk, winking as you heave your bag up and over your shoulder.

Kelley lifts your box of money into her free arm and turns to you with a cheerful smile.

“I was umm… Wondering…” She says as she shuffles nervously from foot to foot. “If you weren’t busy do you want to get ummmm lunch?” She asks with a shrug, her cheeks shifting from a shade of pink to a bright red.

Your smile splits into a massive grin.

“I’d love to.”

***

“Mind if I ask you something?” You hear Kelley’s familiar voice after your performance and glance up at her with a grin.

“Go ahead.” You smile as you stand.

“What do you do with all this money? I mean you should have more money than me by now.” Kelley shrugs and you snort.

“I doubt that but I get by. Do you want me to show you?”

Kelley’s brow furrows her head cocking to the side.

The sight alone is enough to make you giggle the woman’s confused expression reminding you of that of a puppy when it hears a new sound.

“What I do with the money.” You laugh.

Kelley’s eyes widen for a split second before she nods cheeks tinged pink.

She clears her throat.

“I mean if you don’t mind.” She shrugs and you grin placing a hand on her forearm.

“Of course I don’t mind.” You say as you give her muscled forearm a squeeze.

“It’s you after all.”

Kelley’s eyes glaze over her smile small and soft.

“Just follow me, we won’t take the subway, I haven’t checked on the camps on this side of town this week.”

Kelley’s brows furrow.

“Camps?”

You nod, reaching for Kelley’s hand.

You intertwine your fingers with a toothy grin, one Kelley returns tenfold.

“Wouldn’t want you getting lost.” You wink, cheeks flushed.

Kelley gives your hand a squeeze, her own cheeks bright red.

“If anyone is getting lost, its you.” She playfully jests.

You roll your eyes, sticking your tongue our at her.

“Whatever you say O'Hara, now come on.” You say giving her arm a tug and soon she’s being enthusiastically dragged down the street.

If you were to ask Kelley she wouldn’t have it any other way as long as it was you dragging her along.

***

“You’re remarkable.” Kelley whispers under her breath, watching as you hand a little girl in rags a brand new doll.

“I got you some clothes too sweetie.”

The little girl beams, showing off a gap where her front teeth should be and she riffles through the bags you’d just handed her.

You’re smile is huge as you watch the little girl excitedly show her new outfits off to her parent’s, who you’d also gotten new clothes.

Your smile is huge, but Kelley’s is somehow bigger as she watches you excitedly handing out things to those in the camp.

“You just keep surprising me.” She whispers, shaking her head in disbelief.

You laugh, shrugging.

“I’m full of surprises.”

Kelley’s brown eyes soften as they dart around your face.

“You’re amazing Y/N.” She says, voice barely above a whisper.

Your cheeks heat up, the tips of your ears burning as the woman looks at you with a look in her eye you can’t quite place.

“You’re pretty amazing yourself O’Hara.” You wink and Kelley laughs

“Not as amazing as you…” She smiles as you say your goodbyes to those in the camp before you and Kelley take your leave.

“I just think people should give more to those in need, that’s all.” You shrug

Kelley shakes her head.

“You have such a big heart Y/N, I knew that since the moment I met you.”

You turn, your eyes locking with Kelley’s brown orbs.

The two of you gaze at one another for a moment, the blush on Kelley’s cheeks making your heart skip a beat.

The grin Kelley gives you a stunning, and you think you’d do anything to see that smile again.

***

Well after your dance, you scan the crowd, frowning.

Kelley had been noticeably absent for the last few days and you felt her absence deeply.

“Who are you looking for?” You hear a familiar voice and you grin, turning to look over your shoulder.

Kelley is standing behind you, her hands jammed in her pockets, though it’s the woman beside her that ends up with all your attention.

“Holy shit, you’re Alex Morgan.” You say, your eyes doubling in size.

The woman grins, showing off her pearly white teeth and you can’t help but grin back.

“I just had to meet the girl Kelley talks about so much.” Alex winks.

Kelley’s cheeks flush as she shuffles nervously from foot to foot.

“Talking about me O’Hara?” You ask, your cheeks dusted pink.

Kelley scoffs.

“Sometimes.” She mumbles with a shrug.

“Don’t you mean, all the time?” Alex snorts and Kelley’s cheeks darken.

“Awwwww.” You grin.

“Shut up.” Kelley mumbles under her breath and you snort.

“Aw, are you embarrassed?” Alex asks her with a nudge and the defender pouts.

“No.” She grumbles and you beam, your own cheeks flushed at the thought of the soccer player talking about you with her teammates.

“I bet Y/N talks about you just as much.” Alex sends you a wink, now it’s your turn be embarrassed.

“Oh, talking about me Y/N?” Kelley says with a smirk and you blow a raspberry.

“Nahh, never.” You stammer and Kelley’s smirk widens, hands on her hips.

“I don’t believe you.” She grins cockily and you shrug.

“May talk about you sometimes… But it’s only to criticize your soccer skills.” You grin, trapping your tongue between your teeth.

Kelley gasps dramatically before giving you a nudge.

“You do not!” She yells and you snort.

“Yep, all the time.” You wink and Kelley rolls her eyes.

“Actually, the people at camp keep asking what happened to the short pretty girl I brought with me last time.” You wink and Kelley blushes, her cockiness completely vanished.

“Kelley tells me what you do with the money you make, that’s a noble cause.” Alex smiles and you shrug.

“Just doing what’s right.” You smile as you sling your bag over your shoulder, box of money under your other arm.

“You go above and beyond Y/N, you don’t give yourself enough credit.” Kelley says with a soft smile a smile you return.

Alex’s blue orbs dart between the two of you as she grins, seeing a look in Kelley’s eyes she hadn’t seen in a while.

“I bet you two have better things to do than talk to yours truly.” You smile and Kelley shakes her head.

“Trust me, you’re well worth our time. I just had to meet Kelley’s favorite street performer.” Alex smiles and Kelley is quick to nod, even as her cheeks flush.

The there of you go silent as you stare at Kelley, your Y/E/C orbs locked with Kelley’s brown ones, meanwhile, Alex is watching the two of you with a beaming grin.

You clear your throat.

“Unfortunately, I have to get going, my job starts in an hour” You sigh dramatically.

It was nice meeting you Alex.” You nod and the woman grins, surprising you with a hug.

“You too, try and keep this one out of trouble while I’m not around.” Alex laughs and you snort.

“Oh, I’ll do my best.”

Kelley rolls her eyes though she can’t fight the smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

Suddenly, Kelley is pushing herself up on her tiptoes and throwing her arms around your neck.

Your eyes widen for a millisecond before you slip your arms around her, giving the shorter woman a tight squeeze.

“I’ll see you soon?” You ask hopefully and Kelley smiles as her nose brushes your neck.

“Of course.”

The two of you reluctantly part, you and Kelley sharing a tender smile before you turn to Alex.

“See you around, good luck with this one.” You nod towards Kelley who gives you a playful shove.

You shrug, snorting before you turn on your heels and walk away, leaving the two soccer players behind.

Alex turns to Kelley with an arched brow and a cocky smirk.

“Shut up.” Kelley grumbles, stuffing her hands and in her pockets and marching away.

“Didn’t say anything!” Alex laughs.

***

In the following weeks, Kelley is there for every performance, grinning and cheering along with the crowd after every dance is completed.

She even accompanies you on a number of treks to multiple homeless camps around town, beaming as she watches you excitedly pass out supplies to those in need.

After a particularly busy day, you find yourself dropping onto a bench beside Kelley.

“Tired?” She asks and you nod as you stretch.

“Very.” You yawn, closing your eyes and leaning on the defender’s shoulder.

The woman’s eyes grow in size, cheeks blood red as you snuggle into her shoulder.

Kelley takes a deep breath, psyching herself up before she slips her arm around your middle.

“Do you have to work tomorrow?” She asks and you shake your head, your eyelids fluttering.

“I was going to come dance, but it’s supposed to storm.” You huff.

Kelley lets out a hum.

The two of you go silent for a few moments before Kelley eventually clears her throat.

“Maybe we could… Spend the day together… I mean, you could come over and we could watch movies or something?” She offers and you pull away from her, cheeks tinged pink.

You eye her profile intently for a moment, your heart stuttering in your chest when you realize her cheeks are just as pink as your own.

Your gentle smile splits into a toothy grin.

“I’d love to.” You whisper and Kelley turns towards you, so fast you worry she may have jerked her neck out of place.

“Really?” She asks hopefully and you smile.

“Really.”

***

Everything goes off without a hitch, and the following afternoon your find yourself making your way into Kelley O’Hara’s apartment.

“Make yourself at home, mi casa es su casa.” She grins and you chuckle.

You make your way over to the couch and flop down onto it, turning to Kelley with a grin.

“This okay?” You ask and Kelley laughs as she leaps over the back of the couch, nearly landing on top of you.

“Just fine.” She laughs and you shake your head.

“So, what do you have planned for today Ms. O’Hara?” You ask and Kelley hums.

“First, you’re taking a nap.” She laughs and your brow furrows.

“Did you invite me over here to sleep?” You ask with a laugh and Kelley grins.

“That’s a possibility.” She shrugs and you throw your head back with a laugh.

“You’re serious?” You snort and Kelley sits up.

“If you don’t nap here, you won’t nap. And you need rest Y/N.” She says sternly and you open your mouth to deny it, but ultimately snap it shut.

“Seeeeeeeeeeee.” Kelley grins and you roll your eyes, shoving her head playfully.

“Fine, fine, alright.” You sigh dramatically, kicking your shoes off and leaning back into the couch.

“No.” Kelley says as she moves to her feet, then suddenly, you’re shifted around until you’re laying horizontal on the couch.

“You’re so bossy.” You yawn, earning a tender smile from the woman.

It’s now that you realize just how tired you are, and how easily your eyes begin to flutter shut.

“Wait.” You say tiredly as you sit up.

Kelley turns to you, brow furrowed, her eyes widen a millisecond later, she sees you’re holding your hand out to her.

“This is a communal nap time.” You yawn, earning an eye roll from the defender.

Nonetheless, Kelley finds herself standing beside the couch, eyes darting around questioningly, her cheeks burning.

“Yeah, but how?” She asks and you stretch.

Kelley, who’s cheeks are now blood red quickly realizes what you’re insinuating when you spread your legs and pat the space between them.

Kelley swallows hard, opening and closing her mouth a few times as she nervously fidgets.

“Come on O’Hara, I don’t bite.” You wink and Kelley nods curtly, steeling herself before she kicks her shoes off and slips onto the couch.

You shift, the two of you giggling at your clumsy moves before eventually, Kelley is settled on your chest, her ear resting right over your beating heart.

Kelley’s hand moves to rest gently below your shoulder, her fingers gently stroking your clothed chest.

You let out a sleepy hum as you wrap your arms tightly around her, pulling her impossibly closer.

You’d be remised to mention the fact that Kelley’s body fits flush against your own, much like a puzzle piece that has slotted into place.

Kelley’s eyes double in size when she feels you duck down and press a kiss to the top of her head.

You mumble unintelligibly and Kelley smiles as she pulls back slightly, her hand leaving your chest in favor of cupping your cheek.

“Sleep Y/N.” She whispers and you smile, your hand stroking down Kelley’s back until it eventually stills and you fall fast asleep.

Kelley’s hand reluctantly leaves your cheek and settles back on your chest. She glances up at you through her eyelashes and smiles softly, her cheeks red.

The sound of your heartbeat combined with the rise and fall of your chest lulls Kelley to sleep with a smile on her face.

***

Hours later, much later in fact, as the apartment is pitch black other than the city lights shining through the nearby windows, you stir from your slumber.

You let out a hum, tiredly yawning as your eyes flutter open.

The light weight resting on top of you brings a grin to your face as you pull a still sleeping Kelley O’Hara closer, the woman muttering something in her sleep as she snuggles closer.

Your heart skips in your chest as your eyes adjust and you can see the peaceful face of the woman on your chest.

Merely looking at the woman causes your heart to race, you’d realized early on that it was impossible to not fall for Kelley O’Hara, the short woman with her adorable freckles, her fiery attitude and her stunning smile.

You gently tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear and the woman smiles tenderly in her sleep.

The feeling of love coursing through you is overwhelming, the woman on your chest had quickly become the brightest part of your day and every time you’d see her, your heart would race in your chest.

Kelley’s eyes flutter open, her brown orbs darting around the room until they settle on you. She grins, letting out an adorable yawn as she nuzzles back into your chest.

“How was your nap?” She asks and you laugh.

“Perfect.” You smile, your fingers tangling in Kelley’s hair.

The defender lets out a lengthy hum as your nails drag against her scalp.

Suddenly, your phone begins to ring loudly and you let out an annoyed growl, searching your pockets for the aforementioned phone.

Kelley watches the two-way conversation, frowning when you let out a lengthy, sad sigh.

“My boss…” You grumble, dropping your phone on the table. “He wants me to come in.”

Kelley lets out a growl, her hold on you tightening.

“So, you have to go?” She asks with a pout and you nod.

“Unfortunately, but something tells me this won’t be the last time we do this.” You smile, your cheeks flushed as Kelley’s turn blood red.

“Alright, I better go.” You frown sadly and Kelley nods as she reluctantly slips off of you.

You move to your feet with a lengthy yawn, groaning as you stretch.

At the end of the stretch you throw your arms around Kelley, pulling her into a tight and lengthy embrace.

“So, I’ll see you later?” You whisper against the top of Kelley’s head, feeling her head bob up and down.

“Of course. I can’t seem to stay away from you.” She whispers.

The two of you pull apart, eyes glassy as they lock.

Kelley’s eyes dart around your face before settling on your lips. You swallow hard, as you follow suite, your Y/E/C orbs intently eyeing the woman’s lips.

Kelley takes a small step forwards, your bodies flush as she cups your cheeks.

You let out a soft gasp when Kelley pushes herself up on her tiptoes, her lips moving towards your own.

The annoying and loud sound of your ringing phone pulls the two of you apart, Kelley’s lips retreating after being inches away from touching your own for the first time.

You glare down at your phone, jaw clenched.

“I am coming.” You say into the receiver through gritted teeth, your eyes narrowed.

Kelley lets out a laugh at the look on your face and you roll your eyes, giving the woman a shove.

You hang your phone up with a sad sigh.

“I better get going.” You whisper and Kelley nods.

“Yeah, don’t want to be late.” She shrugs.

You turn your back on her, ready to take your leave, but something stops you.

Kelley had been literal inches away from kissing you, you’d have to thank your boss for the lip lock block later.

You turn on your heels, leaning down to press a kiss to Kelley’s forehead.

Though the action is as far from as bold as Kelley’s was, you beam at the dazzling grin Kelley gives you, her cheeks bright red.

“I’ll see you later Kelley.” You whisper, giving her another squeeze before turning to make your way out of her apartment.

Kelley dumbly nods as you glance over your shoulder, and you can’t help but beam at the woman’s dazed state.

The second the door shuts, Kelley is jumping up on the couch and doing a silly dance.

***

“Wait, you realize it wasn’t a good idea to chug beer after having a concussion, right?” You say as you step through Kelley’s apartment door and the defender snorts, shrugging.

“I mean, you only win a world cup once.” She grins and you shake your head.

“Or in your case twice, probably a third time too.” You wink as you lean back against Kelley’s kitchen counter.

“Way to apply the pressure.” Kelley laughs as she heads towards her fridge. She retrieves a can of beer, sliding it your way before retrieving another for herself.

“You’re one of the best defenders in the world O’Hara, I’m sure winning another World Cup won’t be a tall order for you.” You wink as you crack the can open and take a swig, grimacing.

“Why do you drink this?” You ask and Kelley’s shoulders rise and fall as she takes a swig from her own can.

“Why not?” She winks and you playfully roll your eyes.

The room hadn’t changed a bit since you’d last left, which wasn’t a surprise considering the last time you’d been there had been a little over a week ago.

You glance over your shoulder at Kelley who is watching you with a sweet smile that has your heart skipping a beat.

“What?” You ask with a smile and Kelley shrugs, her cheeks flushing pink.

“Nothing.” She grins against the lip of her can of beer.

You shake your head, kicking your shoes off near the doorway and tossing your phone on the counter.

“You know, I’ve been wanting to ask you something…” You smile as you type something in to the search bar on your phone.

“What’s that?” Kelley asks and you grin as you finally reach your destination, music pouring from the phone’s small speaker.

“Can you dance?” You ask with a smirk, before chuckling. “Not the crazy Instagram dances though.” You wink.

Kelley wiggles her eyebrows. “Oh, and how do you know what’s on my Instagram?” She asks and you throw your head back with a groan.

“Shut up and get over here O’Hara.” You hold your hand out.

Kelley takes another chug of her beer before moving towards you, cheeks, as per usual, flushed.

You hold your hand out, which Kelley immediately takes, while your other moves to rest on her hip.

Music fills the apartment as the two of you playfully spin one another, your dance moves, unlike your usual dances, are fumbled and clumsy, but you’ll blame Kelley for that.

Kelley spins around, taking your arms and wrapping them tightly around her as she does a silly dance in front of you.

“You’re such a dweeb.” You laugh.

Kelley spins around, taking your own hand much like before as her other hand rests on your waist.

The song changes, something slower playing through the speakers, slowing the two of you down as you gently sway back and forth.

You rest your chin gently on top of Kelley’s head as you sway, softly singing the lyrics of the song as Kelley nuzzles into your neck.

“Think your boss will call you again tonight?” She asks, smiling against your neck and you chuckle.

“He better not.” You whisper, attempting to swallow the lump in your throat as your heart begins to race.

“Oh? Why not?” She asks and you take a deep breath, ceasing your swaying as your eyes close.

“Because I’ll be damned if he stops me from doing this again.”

Suddenly, you pull away from Kelley, gently cupping her cheeks before you surge forwards, your lips pressing lightly against her own.

Kelley inhales sharply before immediately reciprocating, her hands wrapping around your wrists as the two of you kiss.

You pull back, only for Kelley to chase your lips in search of another kiss.

You smile against her lips as she kisses you firmly, greedily, as if this was something she’d wanted to do for a long time, which makes you feel absolutely giddy.

Kelley gasps when your arms wrap around her waist and you lift her up, placing her on the island in the middle of her kitchenette, your lips never separating.

The kisses grow harder, sloppier as Kelley parts her lips and without any prompting your tongue slips inside.

Kelley lets out a moan into your mouth, her hands tangling in your hair before giving it a tug.

You give her an answering moan as your hands slip under her, giving her ass a playful squeeze.

Kelley groans, the two of you separating, staring wide eyed at one another.

You let out a giggle as you pull back away from her and run towards the couch, leaping over the back of it to lay on its soft surface.

Suddenly, Kelley comes leaping over the back of it, landing right on top of you with a grunt. She doesn’t even give you a second to speak, her lips slamming against your own.

The kisses are far from hard, more playful than before as Kelley peppers loving kisses all over your face.

Eventually, the two of you realize that oxygen is indeed a necessity and pull apart, Kelley hiding her face in your neck as she pants heavily.

Your heart slams against your ribs, attempting to burst from its bone constructed cage as Kelley nuzzles into your neck.

Kelley takes a deep breath, pressing soft kisses to the flesh of your neck before her lips brush your ear.

“I love you.” She says softly.

You inhale sharply, your eyes widening.

Tears prickle at the corners of your eyes as you tighten your hold on the defender, nuzzling into the top of her head with a face splitting grin.

“I love you too.”

To think, a hobby, that had brought you and those you aided so much joy, had also brought you to the love of your life.

What was it that Pierce Brosnan said?

“Love is a lot like dancing, you just have to surrender to the music.”

FFVII Thoughts

-This whole thing with Jessie is so much filler it’s mostly unnecessary. Plus I feel like the whole impact of Jessie and her arc and even this filler is detracted by her being a former actress. Like I mentioned before I feel like her being an actress and known for toying with men kind of takes away from her crush on Cloud and makes it seem cheap. Also even though she’s someone’s daughter who is more tech inclined, I always thought of her as an engineer herself and like a former Shinra engineer that quit would have been a more powerful message than that of an actress. Even if you keep her Dad getting sick it adds an extra layer. Like say she worked in R&D and they like pushed an experimental mako enhancement for the plant too soon and she warned it would make people sick and it made her Dad sick. There’s a lot of ways her story would have been better and fit more nicely into the narrative. :/

-Even though Jessie annoys me, Biggs is kind of okay but he comes off to me as a little cliche. Wedge is kind of a little nicer.

-Aww, they took out the pickpocket on the train during the ID scan. That would have been a lot harder to deal with, but yeah.

-Good lord they stretched out these areas.

-Completely lost in this lamp and platform maze, but after a long time I finally figure out how to get out even with the items.

-Another maze and more reactor context change.

-Robot change where you can screw it over. That’s interesting.

-Yay Aerith!

-Dang Reno. You hard.

-OMG stupid ghosts get out of the way. I bet I have to trek all this way back to get this materia.

-This church is now also a crazy rat maze.

-Now onto roof rat maze.

-Ugh, why do I have to take the long way just to avoid Rude?

-Let me explore the town!

-Cloud and Aerith are way more helpful in this game. The kids have a secret hide out. Cool, I guess.

-Chadley is seriously simultaneously frustrating and useful.

-Yay I can go back and get crap from the church.

-Okay, so sneak out. Why tf is there a pot right outside my room that I can’t see?

-Okay, so there’s Aerith. We have a secret tunnel-ish. So many ladders. So much up and down.

-Out of that maze and yay they kept that scene where Aerith brings up Zack. Still not sure I’m liking all the foreshadowing cuz this was a spoiler in the original game.

-Tifa looks nice in that outfit. Like in general in this game though. They gave her a pretty thoughtful makeover that like captures the essence of her original profile, but also with some added tweaks in style that I actually like better. Like she didn’t have those thigh highs before, but those are a nice touch. And instead of her mini skirt her skirt is actually a skort and is pleated. Plus like the better boob support.

-Good lord Wall Mart is so involved now. So many alleys. Get out of the way yo!

-Leslie seems kind of cool, but I’m not sure cuz he works for a creep.

-Ugh hussle of trying to figure out how to get in. This sponsorship thing is new. I guess Corneo got more exclusive in this game.

-I have to go to the coloseum? Ugh, why?

-This crowd is full of haters.

-Okay winning over the crowd....

-I have an extra battle? WTF is this BS. I almost wish it was the Turks making a surprise appearance. That seems like a silly stupid thing the original would have done.

-Obviously Cloud caught someone else’s attention.

-Yay! Finally dress up time.

-Awesome. I’m doing a bunch of quests now.

-Whoops I didn’t level up my materia all the way. I got most of them so it’s doing fine but just the medicine thing.

-I saw a lot of people complaining about Jules, but he wasn’t so bad? I just needed to remember the rhythm and what I was doing by saying it so I could keep track of the pattern.

-Ugh, Johnny where you taking me? I have to wait for someone not yet.

-Oh Aerith looks nice. I like her outfit.

-Okay time to dress up Cloud.

-Whoa, Folia is a honeybee? Teh shock.

-What is this mini-game? It’s hard to keep rhythm and sometimes I actually can’t see the queue. Why do you design a mini-game where you can’t see the thing clearly?

-Oh shit I missed a track because I didn’t want to sit there and keep playing a frustrating mini-game. D:

-Yay! At least I got the cute dress. But real talk I kind of miss the old way to dress up Cloud only cuz I would want to see what the different colored wigs look like, but that whole storyline is very trans insensitive. Or even drag insensitive, so I understand why they changed it.

-Andrea is kind of cool. I was worried they were going to make him into some kind of flaming stereotype, but actually although he definitely has some flare, he’s a pretty well balanced character and none of the characters really judge him for his personal choices. Although definitely some judgement for the stuff they make them do, but that’s fair because you’re being subjected to it. Good on Cloud for following along.

-Okay time to take down this fat loser. So how does this work? How do you know who he’ll choose?

-Wait does he just choose Cloud every time? That’s a little less fun. I liked dressing Cloud up as the prettiest princess so that you could get him picked.

-This bit of them threatening Corneo’s private parts is still one of my favorite things. It was teh shock when I saw it the first time back in the day and I still enjoy it now.

-Ugh, the sewer. Also a lot of denial. But ugh the sewer.

-My sister was right. The train graveyard is creepier.

-Oh crap I forgot to steal from Eligor. !@#$@#%

-Alright climb the pillar. This is kind of slightly more fun with the extra scenes from Reno and Rude.

-Whoa, they saved Wedge. Cuz he originally totally ate it. Like straight fell off the pillar several stories and was unresponsive.

-Biggs and Jessie still die. That’s fine. I actually feel less sorry for Jessie dying than I did with the original. :/ I think because they managed to actually make her irritating with how over the top they made her.

-Aerith and Marlene is so cute!

-Helicopter shots are annoying, but I like hearing Reno. It’s sad that Fujiwara Keiji died two days after this came out. This is like the last thing he did probably. But his voice fit Reno really well. I don’t think it fit Ardyn well. Ardyn I think deserved a lower register, but I think Square gave him the part probably because of his diagnosis cuz I think Ardyn’s in-game struggle in a sense reflected his real life trials in some way only in the game he became immortal. Real life not so much, but immortalized in a sense through these works. I wonder if Square would have wanted it to come out sooner so that maybe he could have played it himself a little bit before passing, but they had to push the date for quality and stuff.

-I don’t know why, but I really like looking at Reno’s open shirt. Like I think the way they did his abs are a bit different from Advent Children. I think his shirt is even open wider than in AC. *checks* Yeah, it is. AC it’s buttoned up toward the top and just the top one or two are left open. And okay for real Remake has his shirt open even more than even in the original. Nevermind him buttoning up more for AC, but like in original FF7 polygon Reno and original Nomura art Reno looks like it’s only unbuttoned to about mid-pecs. Remake Reno is like down to like the top of his stomach. I guess I can’t complain about the equal opportunity fan service.

-Tseng is actually done pretty well, but I keep looking at him cuz he just strikes me as odd.... Oh wait is it his hair? Is that a hair tie? I don’t think he had a hair tie before. I think we were just supposed to assume he had his hair slicked back and kept in place by gel or hair spray. Also his face is interesting cuz I think they tried to make him actually look Chinese, but I think he just turned out looking kind of like Tamaki Hiroshi. Oh and Suwabe-san!

-LOL Rude carrying Reno like a rag doll.

-And there goes the plate. Oh, no, Wedge. I guess he did die. But the kitties. ;o;

-Let me explore Wall Market! Ugh, fine.

-That Kyrie chick seems kind of a little annoying. I kind of want to let Barret hit her. But I’m probably biased because I had a hot mess of a flatmate with that name and she like didn’t clean up after herself and left dirty dishes in her room and like pushed it up against her roommate’s bed. >.> Like passing responsibility over them to someone else. And I think she maybe broke one of my cups? And like tried to use my stuff without asking? Maybe stole some stuff too but idk. And like worst of all was like she sold her car so she could get money because she couldn’t hold down a job and like needed money and instead of like you know paying rent and bills, she spent it on shoes and make up and left the receipt out for us to find.

-Wall Market is...different in the day time.

-All teh quests.

-Okay Kyrie is still kind of annoying and stupid when you talk with her one on one, but she at least seems better than my flatmate.

-Oh old lady is the Angel.

-Findin’ all the birds. It kind of strikes me that they added this in cuz of how much time it takes to get places and it’s kind of like XV and even the XIV MMO, but not. I guess it’s a staple now with their newer titles because of how grand they make the scenery.

-Down in the sewer again....

-I just really wanna find Corneo’s stash.

-OMG I got a chase this little asshole now.

-Okay so now Leslie. Leslie is a good guy after all. Not a bad new character too. Nice decent development and stuff.

-But gdi Corneo’s still alive. I mean, I knew that cuz Wutai, but ugh.... I think he deserved at least a punch in the face.

-Okay so anyway I guess I’m going up now. Just going to finish up stuff before I go past the point of no return. Get all teh things I can from the coliseum and all that.

-Climbing, climbing. Oops I missed a thing. Was I supposed to?

-Gdi this helicopter thinger is annoying. I can’t slash any boxes. Just kick them around.

-Okay done so I guess I’m going in.

-...Is this a parking lot?

-Oh okay so here’s the entrance.

-Shinra headquarters actually looks like a bigger version of Square Enix’s headquarters in Higashi Shinjuku. I’ve been there pretty recently and also like to cut through the office building to get to Artnia cuz I don’t want to walk all the way around. Decor and stuff and specifics are definitely different, but like the double tower U-shaped look with the walkway in the middle thing is very much how the building is in Shinjuku. Specifics with the stairs and escalators are also different, but kind of the same deal with some amount of ambient lighting at night time and the lobby and such is still mostly open in the evening for people who work late or want to pass through. Some of the doors being locked or like certain staircases and such being roped off are a thing as well. I just know this cuz I often go to Artnia around dinner time when I’m there, so it’s generally after hours already.

-I think even the parking lot situation might even be the same? I’m not sure because I usually take the subway and that let’s out into the mini mall downstairs, but parking if you go there and do that is like subterranean for sure and would be the first layer if it was on a plate.

-I mean, the HQ is also technically kind of on a plate also. Cuz the mini-mall is like below normal street level, but it’s like more cool with like a Lawson’s and restaurants. Coming up from the subway is also a lot similar POV-wise to coming up through grappling hook too in terms of perspective.

-Getting the key. Getting a glove on the way. This part is kind of cool. I always liked this part of the game in the original too and exploring an empty office.

-This is suspicious. I have to take a tour...?

-I guess this is interesting to learn about the company and stuff.

-Weird movie theater. Oh look a spoiler hallucination in the theater. It’s nice to see more of Sephiroth.

-Oh yeah the mayor. That’s a bit of a change that he’s secretly Avalanche. Whatever cool. Yay I got a weapon.

-I gotta do a battle simulator. Oh great I guess if I want items I have to sit here and do all the simulators.

-Oh look it’s Chadley. I have turn ins. Take my stuff.

-Okay so hike upstairs....oh shit they’re going in. Sneak slowly behind and like go around and explore stuff.

-Found the toilet. Haha. Tifa yells at Cloud if he goes in the wrong one. Good.

-This is a nice bathroom.

-Okay up in the vent.

-Interesting extra context and oh yeah Palmer saw Sephiroth.

-Hojo is more gross looking than I remember. Like piled on extra creep factor for him.

-Following into the lab. I guess I should be glad he wasn’t a dumbass and trying to mate Aerith with Red XIII.

-Interesting that it’s only now that they’re really making good use of Those Who Fight Further. I don’t think I’ve really heard it all that often before.

-Yay! Yamaguchi Kappei!

-This part getting serious with Sephiroth is appropriate, but kind of different with him starting to freak out.

-Oooh, Turks scene! It’s nice that they know they are fan favorites now and they put them in more scenes. I wish it would actually play their theme every time they show up like it used to. That’s what made them badass too.

-Aww, Aerith’s room.

-Interesting they are talking in Aerith’s room instead of getting captured and Aerith talking through the wall.

-Shinra science experiment...You’re probably not entirely wrong.

-Huh, wisdom from Red XIII. That’s different context.

-Wow, that’s different. Pointing out a different greater enemy so early. I guess it makes sense Aerith would know because of the whispers she hears, but also it kind of sucks the mystery of the progression of the original story.

-Dang, Sephiroth and Cloud confrontation-ish now? Not going to mysteriously take a body and stab the President?

-Oh joy another crazy rat maze.

-Hojo is definitely more gross than he used to be.

-Oh, nope. Just different order. There’s the trail of blood.

-Well, “blood”. Jenova blood is now apparently purple bubbling ooze.

-President Shinra is just hanging?! DISAPPOINTED. I liked it better when you just showed up and he had a giant sword in his back. Also wondering if you’d be blamed for it, but yeah, sword in the back!

-This is what you get for showing mercy. :/ Sword in back was better.

-Oh shut up already so Rufus can take over.

-Oh you get to watch the sword in the back.

-WTF. He’s not supposed to stab your party.

-Ghost things protecting fate is weird. But also I have some theories like the game is conscious that it’s a remake or something and for some reason they’re repeating history, but some things are different because people don’t do things in exactly the same way but certain things are fated to happen so they have to be preserved.

-Interesting that this game shows the cloaked figures going back and forth between Sephy. Kind of takes away the fun from years of debate on the subject about wtf is happening.

-And here’s Rufus. Still better than his Dad.

-I like that there’s more Turks footage than the original.

-Kind of nice that there’s more tender moments between Tifa and Cloud or rather we can experience them bonding more first hand.

-Did they make Wedge die in a different spot?

-Motorcycle bit is a bit different. Boss on motorcycle is kind of hard. Died once.

-I think it’s just cuz it’s a Remake that they added him here, but Sephiroth is at the end of the highway and I kind of think it sucks. :/ Cuz like it shouldn’t be like this.

-Why is Zack alive? Oh I think this is a flashback. Aww, this is supposed to be a hidden thing. ;o; Stop feeding them all the stuff. Let them find it.

-Whisper monsters...Okay this is just some kind of an AU. Like not really entirely a remake, but a different game in the same timeline cuz Sephy figured out somehow how to alter time and space. Aerith knows kind of what’s up because she became god essentially during AC. Would also explain why the game itself is giving away so many damn spoilers too.

-Holy shit, is Zack dead or not? D:

-Okay I looked up a thing and it said his death is ambiguous, but he’s never seen. Zack was an actual SOLDIER too so he could be a cloaked guy for all we know. But also at the end of AC it was both him and Aerith chilling together welcoming people to the lifestream so who the hell knows what she did.

-Biggs is alive?!

-So okay, if this is an AU things can change and I’m less gripey about the weird things that happened. Cuz it’s like just another pinpoint on the timeline that kind of has pseudo time travel and when you repeat things over again they’re not always exactly the same. I suppose for Square itself it’d be kind of boring to make an actual Remake because they don’t want to take away from the original and they want people to still buy that too cuz it was so good even though the graphics didn’t age so well. Instead they slapped Remake on a new title and trolled us all into thinking they actually did it when actually it’s like a timey wimey thing.

50. Does your doll have their own website? --Do Tumblr and Instagram count? I used to have an actual website for my dolls, but I gave up the domain after a couple years because I wasn’t really maintaining it. Social networks are free, so I have those now.

55. Do you believe your doll has a "soul"? --Um, no…They do indeed have “life of their own” but it’s all in my imagination of course!

56. Do you talk to your doll? --Guilty.

57. When talking to your doll, how does she address you? -- Lydia addresses me as “Mama” but the others just call me Luna.

58. How do men react to your doll? --Most men have either thought they were beautiful or just didn’t really care…I have one male friend who can’t sleep in the same room with them though. XD

59. What was your favorite childhood doll growing up and why? --I had a rag doll named “Kachina” that I made when I was 11. I loved playing with her and making clothes for her! I even took her to Lebanon with me.

60. Did you have to sell items from a personal collection to raise money to purchase your doll? --Nope, I just saved money for a while.

61. If so, what did you sell? --Didn’t sell anything

62. How much do you spend on your doll a month? What is the maximum you would spend? --I don’t keep track of monthly spending really…I don’t think it’s out of hand enough to do that…

63. Have you purchased something you regretted later? --Nope

64. Do you like buying clothing sets for your doll? --Nah, I prefer to make their clothes. Especially since Douban and Ani are such odd sizes it’s hard to find ready-made clothes for them.

65. How often do you change your dolls clothing? --Every now and then, or if I make them a new outfit.

66. If you could take your doll anywhere with you in the world, where would that be? --JAPAN!! (I regret not taking any of my resin babies the first time I went, so I want to take at least one of them with me when I go back.) I did take Lydia with me to France, Xander to South Korea, and Ani to Spain.

67. Have you ever done something to your BJD and felt bad about it? (ex. leaving her naked all night, dropping her) --One time Lydia fell while I was taking pictures of her…Scared me to death, but luckily nothing happened.

68. What paint brand do you use on your doll? --Liquitex Acrylics and Faber-Castell chalk pastels.

69. If you were stranded on a deserted island with your doll, what 3 things would you want for your doll to have? --eh??

70. Does your doll have a girlfriend/boyfriend? --Hahaha, this is a fun question…Lydia has been long-distance married to a doll that belongs to a friend of mine for like 10 years now, Pheonix and Touren sort of like each other, and Douban is still single but too focused on his medical career to be interested in girls. Xander and Ani are too young still to be even thinking about such things (I think o x o;;).

71. Does your doll have siblings? --Lydia and Douban have a sibling-like relationship, Xander and Phoenix are actual siblings, and so are Touren and Ani.

72. Will you pierce your doll's ears? --Never!

73. Have you given your doll a manicure? What color? --Yes! Lydia has dark red fingernails, and Phoenix has a rainbow manicure.

74. Did you do the esthetic process on your doll? --Only on Phoenix so far. Xander has also had an elf-ear mod done.

75. If so, are you glad you did? --Yes! I have a special bond with Phoenix because I feel like she’s the most customized out of all my dolls. Xander HAD to be an elf, so no regrets there.

76. If not, why not? --Lydia was already sanded, Douban is tan so I’m afraid to do any sanding on him, and with Touren and Ani I just never got around to it.

77. If you could change anything they did with the BJD body, what would it be? --Umm…more options for hands (jointed fingers <3) and feet.

78. Have you sueded and wired your doll? --Ani was hot-glue sueded when I got her, but I actually removed the sueding because I didn’t like it.

79. If your BJD could be friends with any other BJD, which one would it be? --Hmm…they have quite a few friends already.

80. Do you plan to get more BJDs in the future? --OMG yes…I have 12 more dolls on my wishlist! (yes that means I want to eventually triple my collection)

81. If so, which BJDs? -- You might wanna sit down for this… • Umiko – Minifee Celine A-line Tan girl • Katja and Lexi – Kid Delf Almond BW girls x2 • Tara - Spiritdoll Smart Snowdrop BW girl • Maribel – Minifee Seorin A-line BW girl • Zahara – Littlefee Chiwoo girl • Kiri – Zuzu Delf Corni girl • Ouji – Luts Model Delf Avalanche Brown skin boy, cat ears added • Ame – Luts Model Delf Avalanche White skin boy, cat ears added • Jikai – Bluefairy Tiny Fairy Louis girl • Kairina – Resinsoul Bei White skin girl • QKR 2.0 – Resinsoul Bei Gray skin girl

82. Do you change the paint on your BJDs often? --Not really, Lydia and Douban are the only ones who I have re-done their faceups.

83. What is your BJD’s favorite color? --Lydia: Red, Xander: Green, Douban: White, Phoenix: RAINBOW! Touren: Black, Ani: Pink

84. In general, what is your SD’s mood or look? --Lydia: sweet, gentle mood; cute but deadly look…Xander: up to no good, Douban: professional, Phoenix: crazy colorful, Touren: punk, Ani: playful.

85. Describe your BJD's favorite outfit. --Lydia: crimson DollHeart Fer outfit, Xander: monster hoodie and jeans, Douban: brown striped pants and an open kimono jacket, Phoenix: rainbow wa-loli kimono dress, Touren: black leather pants and grey hoodie, Ani: teddy bear t-shirt and pink shorts.

86. Does your SD have a formal name? What is it? --Lydia Scheherazade Draculesti Kovaleh-Yueh, Alexander Elrond Kotani, Phoenix Zoe Kotani, Douban Ahmed al-Razi, Touren Oukami, and Ani Oukami.

87. Do you have any colored wigs for you SDs? (green or pink) Which ones? --Lydia’s wig has wine red tips and streaks in it…does that count?

88. What BJD would you like to see in the future?

-- At this point in the hobby, I feel like everything’s been done already, but I’d like to see more steampunk themed or android dolls.

89. If you have more than one BJD, do you favor one over the others? --Lately I’ve been paying lots of attention to Ani because she’s my newest doll and is a unique size…she needs a whole new wardrobe just for her!

90. Is your BJD for display only? --I guess you could call them “display mostly” XD I do pose them for pictures/photostories and I’ll pick them up when I show them to people, but most of the time they just sit around in their chairs.

91. Do you have any brand name clothing for your SDs? --Just a few Dollheart things for my MSDs and one 9NineStyle outfit for Ani.

92. Is there any BJDs you regret not buying? --Eh, not especially

93. Do any of your friends own BJDs? --Yup!

94. Do you have BJD get-togethers?

--I used to have friends over to do doll things and make photostories but I haven’t in quite a few years.

95. Have you lied about the true cost of your SD to your family or friends? --Nope, I’m pretty honest about it.

96. Do you think of yourself as being obsessive about your BJD? If so, explain? --I think I was at first, but I’m not nearly as bad as some other people I’ve seen.

97. If the house was on fire, what would you grab first? Your SD, wallet, clothes or no time and save yourself? --I’d probably grab my dolls and laptop (Mah FILES!) first…everything else is replaceable.

98. Did you buy a digital camera only because you wanted to take pictures of your BJD to show off online? --No, I have DSLR but I use it for other things besides just my dolls.

99. If you passed on, who gets your SD? wife/husband/kids/best friend/no one...it goes with me! Explain why! --I’ll give them to a daughter or granddaughter that I know will love them and take good care of them, but if I end up not having any kids, my dolls are going with me to the grave!

100. Do you think you'll ever tire of your BJD? Why/Why not? --Hehehehe…I’ll probably still be extra-possessive over them even when I’m a 90-year old grandmother!
