Yeah, I’m going to do this for Marriageverse Aeriseph anyway, because I’ve hardly even thought of my other pairings in months. Even when I stray from that ‘verse it’s still other Aerisephs. Nothing like rekindling an old love.
who is more likely to hurt the other? Sephiroth has the capacity physically, Aeris is more likely to emotionally.
who is emotionally stronger? Aeris, not that she doesn’t have her weak spots
who is physically stronger? Seph, obviously.
who is more likely to break a bone? Seph, because he’s just more often at risk.
who knows best what to say to upset the other? Aeris. Tongue on that woman.
who is most likely to apologise first after an argument? Seph. Sometimes it’s just strategic.
who treats who’s wounds more often? Aeris treats Seph’s wounds because she’s the healer while he’s the soldier and the cook, and therefore gets wounded more often.
who is in constant need of comfort? Sephiroth, but comfort as in a nice warm sometimes routine home life is usually enough.
who gets more jealous? Aeris, if only because Sephiroth learned the hard way to lock that the hell down.
who’s most likely to walk out on the other? Aeris. More like throw Seph out, but only that one time.
who will propose? Aeris.
who has the most difficult parents? Again, Aeris, because her family won’t shut up even though they’re dead.
who initiates hand-holding when they’re out in public? Aeris at first, then equally.
who comes up for the other all the time? Kind of a mutual thing.
who hogs the blankets? Aeris to the extreme.
who gets more sad? Seph kind of always is but he hangs on to the good stuff.
who is better at cheering the other up? Seph, because the lengths he’ll go, and also his own funks are pretty resistant.
who’s the one that playfully slaps the other all the time after they make silly jokes? Aeris. Seph would never raise a hand to her unless she’s in a mood for spanking.
who is more streetwise? Definitely Aeris.
who is more wise? Still Aeris.
who’s the shyest? Seph.
who boasts about the other more? Seph.
who sits on who’s lap?
Aeris sits on his lap because if they do it the other way around he’d crush her.
Rei developed a severe fear of heights as a child after something to do with a ‘roof’ and a ‘homemade airplane’. He eventually manages to overcome it in med school, after a thing with a ‘cliff’ and ‘nutjob relations’.
Ella can pinpoint the exact location of all her Jenova-celled family members. She can also hear everything, and I do mean everything, if she listens the right way.
I got tagged by @zephfair to find my top 5 genre tags on AO3! I didn’t even realize that was a thing you could do, but apparently
Dashboard –> Works –> Sort and Filter –> Additional Tags
And my top 5 are:
Humor (13) | Drama (7) | Romance (5) | Alternative Universe (4) | Alternative Universe – Canon Divergence (3)
I’m surprised angst isn’t even up there. I think maybe I could add a few more tags to my fics, but I really hate giant tag blocks, especially the kind you see with mega-crossover fics.
Anyhow, tagging @lilly-white, @caterfree10, @fflove190 and @up-sideand-down, as always only if you want to.
WIP Last Line Meme! I got tagged by @comebackwhen. Thanks! XD
So, growing out of that remarkably coherent house-hunting dream I had a while back:
“Your ancestors lived in giant eggs?”
“The hell they did,” Aeris whispered. “This L. Raney guy is studying the wrong history books.”
Sephiroth looked aside. “You lived in giant shells,” he said. “We lived in giant shells.”
“That’s different,” Aeris said, with a little toss of the head. “Besides, if we made houses out of eggs, they wouldn’t be this ugly.”
Tossing this one out to @klepto-maniac0, @literaryeagle and @zephfair, if you guys want it.
Yay! Thanks, Anon, and @cateringisalie!
orange: what makes you feel warm inside?
The quickest answer is puppies. Little puppies, big puppies, baby puppies, old and grey arthritic puppies, but especially my puppies, who are excellent cuddlers and the best snuggle buddies when I fall asleep on the couch, which is often.
what’s your favorite
halloween tradition?
It’s pretty new, as traditions go, but dressing up like Beauty and the Beast with the spouse and going out for dinner. It is our anniversary. 😉
what’s the last thing you learned?
Pancreatic divisum, a congenital anomaly in which the two parts of the embryonic pancreas fail to join, is a possible cause of pancreatic obstruction, because the big half is attached to the small duct and small half is attached to the big duct and the juices just don’t flow out so good.
is when’s the last
time you felt obsessed?
Last Sunday. Chauvinist journalist. Still lodging complaints.
what’s your favorite article of clothing?
A crimson and gold paisley pashmina with a little metallic shimmer, the kind you can pick up just about anywhere, but this one is very me.
I was tagged by @lilly-white to find gold or blood in my current WIP(s).
So, from the Path rewrite:
Sephiroth
swung himself out of the tree, landing on silent feet. He opened his eyes. Gold
fingers of light clawed over the horizon, grasping the land. “For now we
handle the puppet, and the little President, and then the girl.”
And:
She knew what blood looked like when it spilled,
when it trailed, the way it dripped and smeared when someone was running away..
I’m tagging @klepto-maniac0, @asreoninfusion and @up-sideand-down to find light and sand, if you’re interested.
13. hardest character to write
At this point, I would honestly say Hojo. I’ve written him briefly and not well. The complete and utter lack of research ethics and basic human compassion is something, as both a patient and a doctor, that just sickens me. But I do have a fic idea floating around that involves getting into his head a bit. I’m letting it cook a bit more before making a serious go at it.
24. favorite scene you’ve ever written
Hey, this is hard! 😛 I am a fickle thing, and my favorite is usually whichever juicy scene was the most recent. But to narrow it down some, I’m very fond of the scene in the original Path where Seph gets drunk off his ass and realizes he’s in love, the one in The Mission where Zack and Cloud watch that corny homemade porno, and the respective endings of the ‘same theme, different approach’ fics, Fly Away and New Life. I’ve got another pair of fics planned like that.
