I'm so happy it made you happy!!!!! and that it gave you something to look foward to and lift your spirits - that's honestly the highest reward possible to me 🥹 I was worried that posting this rn would feel like additional stress for you so I'm immensely relived it brought you so much joy instead 🥰
[especially did you lose yourself somewhere out there? / did you get to be a star? this line especially felt so incredibly raw, like something cloud's heart was crying out to sephiroth even if he couldn't properly verbalize it]
yes!!!! that's exactly what I was hoping it'd convey. we're definitely going to come back to this serveral times over the course of this verse. also if you don't know which song these are from, fear not, for it will be in next chapter's playlist!
[i'm also incredibly obsessed with his immediate fixation on the texture]
I hc that after being in the LS for so long, when Sephiroth has a body again every sensation would feel incredibly intense. so every time he's presented with something new, he'd be like must investigate 🧐 but I also think it's just something that he and Cloud have always had in common, that they perceive the world diferently than most other people.
I wonder if we'll ever find out how Seph got out of the LS and got himself a body, and why he didn't immediately went on to enact Advent Day 2 🤔
[it's so special to me how these two can have the most nasty violent sex imaginable and their souls and minds are intimately connected on a wavelength beyond death and beyond time, and yet STILL they act like blushing teens with their first proper crush when they're like this]
yes!!! the contrast is delicious :3c there's so much violence entangled in their connection, so when they act tender - and act their actual ages - it feels like this both incredibly fragile and incredibly powerful thing.
[if cloud were to ever design a fursona for himself i think it would look a lot like these things]
this is so true!!! 😂 I like to think his affinity with wolves made him act more merciful towards the Thunderclaws than he might have been towards other fiends.
[all i can think about while reading this scene is sephiroth sat back on fenrir, just enjoying the view to an absolutely shameless degree.....no wonder he reacts the way he does when cloud comes back to the bike.]
that is exactly what he did, yes 😂 it's also possible that when Cloud stepped close to slot his blades back in that Sephiroth was able to scent the arousal on him. and then correctly interpret Cloud's skittish, avoidant demeanor as him trying to conceal said arousal, which of course only made him all the more irresistible 🤭
[and i can't help but wonder if sephiroth using a bit of his teeth there is intended as a teasing reprisal for one of their prior encounters....much to think about.]
hehe, it is certainly possible 🤭 a lot of their communication does happen without any words involved. I wonder if that'll come back to bite them at some point...
[his kitty instincts can't be denied!!!! it's better if you just accept it cloud!!!!!]
there is no escaping the Must Take Care Of Cloud instincts 😂 I think for Seph it was probably a mix of oh you're messy here let me clean you up, and just wanting to taste him 🤭
[that's the beautiful thing about their dynamic, is that cloud has an essentially infinite resource of repressed sexual frustration (for sephiroth) and anger (for sephiroth) and desire for intimacy (in general but also definitely about sephiroth) that i don't think he will ever truly run out of energy when it comes to wanting to show sephiroth who's 'boss'.]
YES!!!!!!!! that's excatly it, you understand me 🤝
[this has incited my cuteness aggression to levels i did not know were humanly possibly, so i can barely begin to imagine what it must've done to sephiroth.]
I love let's motor!Cloud, he is adorable :3c yes Cloud, you're super cool!!! the coolest!!! aaah, let me nibble on you...
and yes, Sephiroth probably also found Cloud very cute and amusing in this moment, acting all tough like he wasn't just licked into coming so hard his legs are still shaky 🤭
[both sephiroth offering umbrella-wing and cloud leaning into him so easily]
omg umbrella-wing sounds so cute, I love that. I think they will both come to like having quiet moments together just observing some nature phenomenon.
[outside of the obvious parallel to how cloud and sephiroth have behaved with each other so far, the colouring of the little birds can't help but make me think of cloud and aerith, and now i'm just envisioning what the whole ffvii cast would look like as little finch sized birds.]
omg I didn't even think of that, but that's so true!!! it could totally also be a stand-in for clerith, this verse is definitely meant to have cleriseph undertones 👍 also these finches are a real species, they're Pine Grosbeaks! the males are the ones who are reddish pink + gray, and the females are yellow + gray. omg the whole cast as finch sized birds is absolutely adorable to think about, I wanna draw this now!!! 🥺
and I'm so happy you like Fio!!! I enjoy the contrast between her and Cloud because she's so grounded but also so optimistic and cheerful. I think he needs people like that in his life and we'll definitely see her again.
[then again, considering his reaction when his wife feeds him like a baby bird.....maybe he Won't figure it out.]
hehe...it's definitely a theme we will be coming back to, in more ways than one.
