Before the fall of Scala, there were rumors that Master Brain had a journal where he kept notes and sketches of all the portraits he eventually added to the palace gallery. No one ever dared to read it without his permission. They relied on the plaques below the portraits for any information.

But surely, someday, someone would read it. Maybe multiple people would. But Scala has been empty for a long, long time. The journal has collected dust in an abandoned tower for far, far longer.

“Portrait #11:

They never had a family photo all together. But Lauriam showed me one of him and Strelitzia, and then all the leaders had a portrait taken. I think they’d be happy with this, in spite of everything.

Lauriam, if you’re somehow reading this, I hope you found them. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to see it like you hoped.

Ven, if you’re reading this, I hope you’re together. I hope you’re safe, and I hope you’ve been able to grow up past everything. You’re a good kid. And yeah, I have to admit, you did grow a backbone.

Strelitzia, we never met. But Ava trusted you enough to pick you and your brother really cared for you, so I’m sure you’re amazing. I hope you’re safe and I hope you’re together. I don’t expect you to forgive Ven, but if you can, I know you’ll get along. He’s a good kid for as much grief as I gave him.”

But no one has read these words in long time. The only words so many knew were the ones engraved on the plaque below.

“The Tarax Siblings:

From left to right is depicted- Union leader Strelitzia, Union leader Lauriam, and honorary Union leader Ventus

‘Perhaps in another life, I could have made this properly’- Master Brain”

********

I haven’t posted anything here, but I do love myself some writing as well as art. I even have an Ao3 (TeaAndFics04).

The idea came to me (and my gf) that Brain could very well undertake painting to cope with his loses. Imagine the drama of everyone finding his work, and all that jazz.

Either way, it is of my belief that Lauriam saw Ven as a little brother in some way. It would also explain why Ven later latched to Terra to have an older brother figure. It would also explain why Marluxia is so nice to Roxas when there was no chance of him being part of the coup. Buried memories and all.

Finally, Tarax comes from Taraxacum- the scientific name for Dandelions. It fits since 1. They’re dandelions and 2. Flowers + A Wayward Wind = Dandelions.

I love this design (and the AU) so much!
