#sorry Crescent

[anotherrosesthatfell]

Can you write a short story about Killer, Angst or Merciless being afraid of Crescent?

Mkay, I don't have much motivation though- sunflower au belong to @abloomingsunflower

╰┈➤ the son of monster

Crescent was invited to family dinner. He really don't want to go but Artemis is there and he know Angst stopped acting like a caring brother and Merciless is.. Well him. Killer is going to ignore Artemis while Nightmare is going to make everything awkward.

So at the end, Crescent decided to go.

He expected for it to be dead silent. Unfortunately he was not right because Nightmare was late to dinner while his family started to go on each other throats.

"You monster, you really enjoying this argument hmm? Is it fun to be feed by our negativity?!" Killer didn't hold back and throw a plate at Crescent.

Well that'll leave a scar on his head...

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Artemis gasped by her mother action.

"Shut up Artemis! If I keep seeing his face one more time, I am going to kill myself. You and him are both monsters. My only children are Angst and Merciless!"

Merciless had to hold Killer back from trying to throw another plate.

"Crescent, I think you should leave now." Said Angst as he took a sip from his tea. "Artemis have to stay though. After all she's a daddy's girl and her dad will be so upset if she left. Who knows who will he hit this time." He glances.

"You—!" Artemis was stopped by Crescent.

"Ignore him, sister. He's not worth your time." Said Crescent.

"What? I'm saying the truth, dear brother. You're only bring chaos in this family. How about you leave. I don't see any worth in you by being here." Angst continue to provoke Crescent. "Of course you have to defend your kind little sister. You never did to any of us."

"Angst please, can't we just have nice dinner? Crescent didn't do anything...-" Merciless sighed as he finally calm his mother down.

"Ah yes that's right. He didn't do anything at all! When you were abused so badly, he stay blind eyes and ignore your existence while showering his sister with love." Angst laughed then got up from his seat.

He went to Crescent and grabbed his wrist.

"he's so pathetic isn't he? He didn't do anything to help us and he is living a good life in the damn church!"

"..." Crescent sighed and say, "Are you really trying to hurt me in front of our family? Really brother?" he seems to look down at Angst.

"Angst let go of Crescent now, his wrist are bleeding!" Yelled Artemis which brought Merciless and Killer attention.

Artemis didn't hesitate to try pulling Angst hand away, Crescent was surprised by her sudden actions. He didn't get a chance to warn her... Angst was quicker than Artemis, pushed her away.

"Don't you interfere in adult business Arti. You should've live a quiet live but yet you're being a misfortune to all of us." Angst coldly glares at Artemis.

It was Crescent final straw. He slapped the shit out of Angst.

"I swear to God I am kind enough to let your anger out on me." Crescent then slapped Angst once again. "I already told you to not interfere in my little sister life, didn't I? She can live however she wants."

"HAH! you really showing your true colors. You're just like father, all fake and deceiving. I can't believe I'm related to you." Angst scoffed at Crescent.

Merciless in the other hand pulled Angst away from Crescent. His eyes shivered as he recalling the old memories.

Crescent aura is just like Nightmare now, Merciless remember what fears are like once again... He don't like it.

"What's wrong 'Merciful'? Don't tell me are you afraid of me too? Honestly you're the same like mother. All bark but never bites. I am a monster yet you two keep messing with me." he didn't hold back then he glanced at Killer.

Killer is trembling too. Crescent understand her hatred yet he can't let her continue being like this to Artemis. He sighed and smile at her.

"What's wrong, Amaris? Are you too afraid of me?" Crescent chuckles.

"W-What, how did you know that name?!" Killer then yelled at Crescent.

Everyone was confused Killer reaction on the name. Clearly no one knows it expect for Alphonse and Crescent...

"Oh, I know a lot of thing about my mother. Father is so generous on telling me about your past... Now, now you wouldn't want me to tell your children about it right?" he smiles patiently waiting for Killer to say something.

Yet... Killer didn't say a thing and ran out from the dining room. Merciless follows Killer as he also don't want to be in the room.

"..." Angst still glaring at Crescent. "I was right aren't I? Mother is afraid of you, Crescent. You're nothing to this family anymore."

"Ah... Honestly Angst. How about you kill me?" Crescent suggested to Angst. "Go on, kill me. I am nothing to this family right? Wouldn't it better for you to just kill me?"

"I... You're fucking crazy. You're manipulating me just like Father."

Crescent slightly chuckles and smiles at his twin brother. "I knew it.. You're also afraid of me. You're afraid of the consequences, you know what will happen if I die by your hands." Said Crescent. "You're right, I'm just like my father. I could easily disown you anytime I want just like father could but I know you're afraid of being left alone."

... It was an uncomfortable silence. Angst didn't say anything and left the dining room.

Crescent sighed while Artemis speechless by whole situation. She didn't know Crescent could easily make them go away-

"I apologize you had to see that. Are you alright sister?" Asked Crescent.

"I'm fine... Teach me how to do that-" Said Artemis.

"do what?" Crescent didn't quite understand about Artemis request.

"You know? Like make all of them go away!"

"ah... How about you just ask them to join you for prayer, that way they'll stop bothering you." Crescent happily replied to Artemis. "Now, now... I have to go to hospital because I'm losing bloods."

"oh my God you're right. Let's go-"

After drawing Freya from Final Fantasy 9 in human form, I realized how much she resembled a Moomin character, so here's her visiting Moominvalley.

do you think when lizzie found out jay left the ferin family her heart broke a little more. because ava never left the ferins. no matter how much she loved lizzie, she never gave that up, and in the end that was what broke them. do you think the thought crossed her mind that if jay changed, maybe ava was always capable of changing. maybe lizzie just wasn't worth changing for.

Vincent’s lingering obsession with Lucrecia is excellent drama, but their story is not a doomed romance.

This is an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think Lucrecia deserves nearly as much pity and excusing of her actions as she gets. This is not character-hate post, it's an analysis of a character I think gets short shrift as a Mother-Mary in a bell jar, and deserves better.

Lucrecia is morally grey. Charcoal grey. I love complex, morally grey characters, particularly when they're women, since usually women are relegated to roles that infantilize and objectify them, particularly in video games, which have historically been a very backward, androcentric medium. I strongly dislike brainless victims, subject to the whims of the male characters, without much agency, and Lucrecia was not such a character.

Lucrecia was an adult with agency and brains. She was a grown ass adult. She was a brilliant scientist. She made decisions with her eyes open, and even sacrificed her unborn child to her work. She is a very interesting character. The fact that she didn't idolize motherhood as the end-all of female existence, and that her obsession with her work was stronger than her desire to be a 'good mother' makes her far more interesting than otherwise. The fact that she regretted it later and wanted him back doesn’t magically make her a good person, or change the choices she made. It demonstrates guilt and remorse, which are part of character development. The bottom line is that she committed atrocities in the name of science, then felt guilty about it later, once she realized how devastating the consequences were to her personally. To say she didn’t know what she was doing or Hojo manipulated or controlled her is to infantilize and disrespect her character. She’s not some sacrificial angel who was a victim of circumstances; she was a willing participant in her own downfall.

Lucrecia is a tragic character, but she's not a romantic lead. Except in Vincent's head. After all was said and done, she had one of those too-late changes of heart that make tragedy so emotionally impactful. She had a human reaction to Vincent's death and felt terribly guilty for her role in all of it, as she should. That doesn't mean she loved him, it means she wasn't a monster. She lost her son, and gradually, Hojo's callous inhumanity and her inability to escape the net she wove with her own hands closed in on her. Did she deserve to never hold her baby son and never see him even once? No. But she caused it, with her own actions. That's tragedy. She was miserable, bereft, and riddled with guilt, so she made a last-ditch effort to make something right...by doing more insane science shit that turned Vincent into a monster. Seeing that she'd only made everything worse, she tried to kill herself, but was unable to, and thus ran off to become a crystal statue in a cave (this is a trope that I dislike, but that's the story, so that's what we've got).

Vincent is a bad judge of the circumstances. Vincent persists in seeing her as a lost love, and someone from whom he was unjustly separated by circumstances. The fact that he is so blinded by his feelings for her that he places her on this pedestal and can't blame her for what she did is excellent characterization, and I love it, but it's because he’s wrong. He loved her. She didn’t love him (I think she was in love with his father, but that's just icing on the tragedy cake, at this point). His lingering attachment, not to the real Lucrecia, but to the idealized version of her he has in his mind, is a very sad reality that adds so much delicious pain to his character. In the end, he is unable to blame her, because he loved his image of her (and Hojo is a way easier target for anger, because he's literally the worst), which speaks far more to his personal bias in the situation than to her actual role in it. She’s not moustache-twirlingly evil like Hojo but she’s not Vincent's star cross'd soul mate tragically torn away by cruel fate. Lucrecia was her own person.

In summation. Their story is not a doomed romance, it's a complicated, messy, ugly tangle of thorns, and one of the best written tragedies in a game that literally bleeds tragedy from every orifice. It's got one-sided love, obsession, mad science, betrayal, jealousy, fetal experimentation, murder, corpse reanimation, and a guy who can't die, and is left to deal with the consequences of everyone else's actions by himself forever. No one is innocent and no one comes out unscathed…strike that. Vincent is innocent and Hojo comes out unscathed. But still. Lucrecia is not a holy mother, she's not a brainless victim, and she's not Vincent's lost love. She's a person he loved, and who didn't reciprocate. Most importantly, she's a person. A whole-ass, complex, morally grey, fully developed person, who made terrible choices, then made even worse choices, and in the end, couldn't escape the fate she wove for herself.

And then wound up encased in crystal so she could be a pretty statue forever cause the game devs just couldn't help themselves I guess.

heya there :))) i was wondering if you could write something fluffy for Sephiroth? Like the soft pre-nibelheim version :3 I was thinking like an s/o that has a meet cute with him cause they also work at shinra? idk you dont have to either way have a good dayyy eeee ily

Yes, absolutely!

Meet cute (Sephiroth x Reader fluff)

You were nothing more than an ordinary Shinra intern, rushing through the halls, trying to deliver paperwork to all your superiors moments before it was due, mind racing with worries about what would happen if you were late, even by five minutes.

You had completed most of your errands by this point, all you had left to do was deliver some test results to that douchebag scientist Hojo whom you never liked, and you'd be home free. You were so focused on delivering these papers, you didn't watch where you were going and subsequently bumped right into a very tall man who was exiting the lab.

"Oh, damn it," You swore, immediately backing up. "I'm so, so, sorry sir, I wasn't watching where I was going, my apologies."

"It's not a problem," The man replied, smiling. You looked up, meeting his eyes for the first time, and nearly audibly gasped. Before you was the most beautiful man you'd ever seen in your life, with glittering Mako green eyes and lovely, long, shimmering silver hair. What you wouldn't give to be able to run your hands through that hair--God, was it beautiful.

This man, whoever he was, seemed to be equally as captivated with you as you were with him; his cat-like eyes never leaving yours. You could have gazed into each other's souls till the end of time, had that greaseball Hojo not decided to interrupt with an obnoxious series of giggles and a few short statements.

"Ah, Y/N, I see you've met Sephiroth, my prized SOLDIER. Do give me my papers now, thank you." Absently, you handed the sheets over, not caring whether they fell to the floor or not. Completely ignoring the scientist's presence, you and the man before you began walking down the hall together, seemingly unaware that you were still staring at each other.

"Oh, I, uh, never got your name," You prompted nervously.

"Sephiroth. My name is Sephiroth," Responded the angel. "And you?"

"Y/N. Do you...maybe...wanna...hang out later? After work?"

"I get off at 9."
