Summary
"It was for the people she's lost. For the ones she still misses. For the ones she's scared to lose. And maybe... A little for someone she shouldn't miss at all."
Aerith sings a love ballad for Cloud. Cloud assumes it’s not for him, and chooses clarity with Tifa.
What do you do when the heart insists on what the world says you can’t have? Between duty, desire, and dreams unspoken, Cloud and Aerith orbit each other as fate tilts toward ruin.

Summary
"Perhaps it was just another act of that desire for freedom when she grasped his hand in hers and bared her soul so starkly. She knows he likely did not understand the gravity of the gesture, of her words. Yet her feckless heart still dares to dream, still craves those little moments of freedom between them. The warmth of him beside her during his meditation lessons. The sound of his laughter, so filled with sweetness, with light. The brief, accidental brush of his fingers on hers as they fold the laundry or do the dishes together. Small, simple moments stitched together in her memories as much as her hopes and dreams - a mosaic of little encounters, with Will at its centre. To her, he is freedom incarnate."
In which Eupha faces her fears.

Summary
It was not their first kiss, but for some reason, it’s the one that she still recalls most vividly. The feel of his soft, warm body against her cold aluminium one. His fingers threading through her hair, then behind her neck to loosen her ribbon. His mouth trailing down her neck to her exposed heart; the culmination of her very self flickering a faint periwinkle in the darkness. He pressed his lips to it, and she shuddered, her grip around him loosening and tightening all at once.
“It’s like a star,” he murmured against her reverently. “A blue star.”
During her first summer without Makoto, Aigis treasures her memories of him.

Summary
"Cloud was gentle by nature. Zack had learned to be gentle. But Sephiroth? His gentleness feels stilted, controlled, pulled so taut that he might snap at any moment. She finds that she’s not afraid of the way he clutches at the back of her neck, at her waist. His hands are warm, impossibly warm. Warm and undeniably mortal, his touch couched in something familiar, something comfortable. Like an echo of some distant memory she can barely recall. A memory of lifetimes and lifetimes ago, nestled somewhere between life and death and rebirth and death again, so deep that she’s almost unable to grasp it."
Aerith and Sephiroth go against their nature.
