oh. heres that comp of old fic snippets. no pacrim au though

some selections from the vault (and snippets from my wip fic)

so! for those who are not following me on twitter, i recently went through my drafts for some strifehart content that i hadn't yet shared publicly! i wanted to quickly cross post so you all can see them too :)

putting it under a cut just so i dont clutter up the tag again :)

the one i had written the most for was the more recent kink meme off dreamwidth--specifically, the prompt for a superhero/vigilante au! i hadn't written very much for it (basically just the interaction below), but i had a general idea of cloud and leon's backstories. at some point, leon would show up at cid's repair shop where cloud happens to work and there'd be some fun to be had there!

--

next was what i think was originally what i had planned for one of the prompts from strifehart week 2018; i think it was "witch" or "fantasy"? this one is a little more out there, sorry

but at the time, i'd recently read a fic for fire emblem fates called beyond the sea; in it, magic was kind of a rarity and the people who got power were given a brand, or star sign. i was going to do a KH-flavor twist on it for strifehart. the idea would be that cloud, squall, and tifa all worked as soldiers in a government that was hunting down these "witches" and turning them into weapons or tools of a sort. the three main ones were:

-aerith, with the mark pf phoenix; focus on healing magic -riku, sign of ifrit; mostly can only control fire as he's so young -squall, who had a rare double mark of ixion and leviathan; wind/water/lightning based magic focus, so he can basically create a hurricane at will

the idea was for cloud and tifa to find out they've been ordered to abduct a kid and defect, especially after finding out their friend aerith is also someone wanted by the government. squall, meanwhile, has had enough of hiding and kind of loses it when he finds out riku is the latest kidnap victim. they all end up traveling together, and...i had no real plans aside from that. part of why this never ended up being finished/posted, haha. the most coherent part was below, though i jumped ahead to try and write cloud seeing squall going all out with his magic

--

the third is a twist on spirited away/the boy and the beast/song of the sea.

kid squall ends up in a fantasy world after being separated from his sister ellone, and is found/taken in by werewolf zack and dryad/nymph aerith. they have to hide that squall is a human and pretend he's a baby werewolf and he ends up getting found out on a big festival day. but he'd end up on a quest with cloud, who was a selkie, as a way to keep him/zack/aerith from being banished. no concrete plot ideas for this one either, unfortunately, so it's not gotten anywhere, even if i had a cool scene in my mind for squall getting outed as a human :( (but i had a track off the boy and the beast ost scoring a big fight zack gets into when squall gets found out)

--

i had no other major fics planned aside from my current WIP, but here's a snippet from a drabble i was fiddling with where leon gets sick and doesn't realize it, just because i like how i used to write his interactions with yuffie

--

ANYWAY here's some snippets from/about my current WIP, a song without its melody.

first up is actually a piece i had wanted to be in my main longfic, a little bit of levity, but ended up being cut. it was intended to go after the scene i have of leon and sora in song (since it was a scene that i had to cut from levity that i managed to fit back in), but with how leon's interactions with roxas and xion have changed, i had to leave it in my scraps doc! it is, generally, the vibe i kind of want for leon's relations with roxas and xion respectively

next are just some snippets from upcoming sections, so please look forward to it! :3c

hiii am i remembering right that either here or on your main at one point you posted snippets of pacrim au centered on aqua and terra?? i hadnt seen the movie till recently and now i cant find the post... thank youu :)

hello friend!! im glad you liked seeing the movie! absolutely one of my favorites, and obviously gives me the brainworms, haha. i've got it under the cut for you, plus with a little extra that wasn't in what i posted originally. <3

i do want to add more to my ongoing series on ao3 at some point, so this will be included!

for context: terra, aqua, and ven start out at a small shatterdome under eraqus, who's the marshall there. eraqus starts moving things so aqua will be set to take over as the new marshall in his place, and ven will pilot with terra in her place. but, since their shatterdome is so small, it can only house the one jaeger and its crew. if ven isn't on that crew, he has to leave. eraqus is trying to not panic the others, so he swore aqua to secrecy about it. also, their jaeger is called wayfinder, at least for now (i wanted to use the name of a keyblade like i have been for the other jaegers (way to dawn and destiny's embrace are the first two mentioned!) but it felt wrong when this was the jaeger for the wayfinder trio!)

--

She can feel Terra probing at her mind more aggressively than usual--almost hungry to meld their thoughts together. Aqua has to admit that she is desperate for the feeling of their connection. It’s been longer than usual since they Drifted last, since before she had to start learning the administrative duties being given to her and Terra began keeping his distance in his quiet anger with her secrets.

The thought of that secret--the words told to her in confidence, about Ven’s place in their Shatterdome, drift to the front of her mind in an instant. She lays it bare for Terra to see, a quiet apology for her silence in the past weeks.

She feels more than sees Terra’s head whip to find her. Aqua’s eyes open to find Terra hurriedly shifting forward, hitting mute on the connpod’s microphone, and staring at her.

“That’s why?” Terra asks, voice strained. His brown eyes are wide, shifting minutely as he studies Aqua’s face. “Because if you don’t, Ven will…”

Aqua takes a breath, hoping her eyes won’t well up the way she knows they so easily could. Without words, she tells him, I won’t lose either of you--and that is a promise.

Terra studies her for another long moment--through the Drift, Aqua knows how angry he’s been with her. How he hated that she refused to tell him what was going on. But he’s missed her, too, so dearly missed her, and has already forgiven her.

She wished the kaiju would just vanish, so she could throw herself into his arms and kiss him the way she’s wanted to in the weeks that he wouldn’t let her. She misses the feeling of his body against hers; the warmth of his larger, stockier frame holding her. Terra has missed her just as much, has missed her laugh, her hand held in his.

Later, they remind each other. They can make up for lost time later.

not to be "comment on fanfic even if they are oooold"

But I just read a pretty good fic published in 2014-2015 (you know, roughly TEN YEARS AGO) and I was like, damn this is so cool, I have to leave a comment, even if you know, they probably wont see it...

The author replied less than an hour later.

"should we tell authors on ao3 when we have discord conversations about their fics" i don't speak for everyone here but if y'all ever find a group chat discussing my fics you can should must and WILL send me screenshots of the whole damn thing. inflate my ego. gimme

"how can m/f ships be good-" first of all through the power of bisexuality anything is possible so write that down. second of all if we start othering ships based on gender and nothing else we're no better than the opposition. third of all you need to watch more addams family
