Cloud versus Everyone at Home (16)

Link to the chapter: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9446325/16/What-s-all-Gone-on-Before

I didn't livetumbl for this one, sorry guys.

Anyway, so Cloud versus everyone at home.  It's one of the main reasons why he wants to leave in the first place.  He feels conflicted regarding Tifa's mother's death versus his father's death; he doesn't fit in, partially because he doesn't want to, but the rest because everyone finds him odd; there's a part of him that thinks about getting involved in SOLDIER, but Tifa's talked him out of that one by now; and the rest of him is just craving for adventure.

So he leaves.  He tells his work, his mom, and Tifa.  He and Tifa make promises to help each other in a bind.  The caveat behind that, however, is that one has to KNOW that the other is in a bind.  And, sorry you two, but your hearts just don't have the connection for that.  SoKai can pull it off... Rokushi might be able to pull it off.  Zerith can pull it off because Aerith is special.  But CloTi? just... *sigh*.

Anyway, but this picture is adorable! It's those moments on the water tower (wow, almost typed Clocktower... Days, much?) that I find so endearing.  They're so cute and young.

And, slight spoilers, they're not going to be that way when they next see each other.  I say only slight because something similar happens in FFVII.  Granted, in my canon, Cloud's not going to try and become SOLDIER and then accidentally become involved in one of Hojo's experiments to the point where he thinks he's Zack.  But Cloud's gonna have some stuff happen to him.  Sorry, ya'll.

I used a bit of a different writing style for this chapter, as you can tell by the dialogue.  I didn't use dialogue markers, hoping that it would be obvious who was talking.  It's easier to read through if you assume that Tifa always talks first (unless otherwise noted).  Because, admit it, Tifa does that.

Review Responses:

Archsage! you're back! *hugs* Thank you so much for your kind words and compliments! I'm glad you're enjoying it! It's a blast to write.  I hope I continue to inspire you!

KKBeckett, Yes, Cloud has left.  *sigh*  As for Tifa following him, you'll see :P  (Spoilers.)

This one's shameless self-promotion.  I made this video a couple of years ago for rar's fanfic otp, Namiku.  Yup.  Check her out if you haven't :P

She would tell you to start with Falling to Pieces, probably.

New Story! (Prequel ch1)

Hello everyone! Likely you're hardly paying attention to this blog anymore, since I've been dark since January.  (However, I seem to have a lot of pageviews over the past couple of days, so maybe you all have been watching it.)  Anyway, I have a new story! It's a prequel for everything, tracing the Final Fantasy charries through... well, snippets of their lives.  (Ugh, I use the word tracing like an English major--I mean, I am an English major, but it sounds super like language for my thesis.  Meh.  University killed my darlings...) ANYWAY!

So, I started off this whole thing with Leon, because I adore him.  I appreciate his character immensely.

As I was initially writing the plans for all this up (which was initially just a huge timeline that I was gonna post on the blog, but then I did a poll and most of you wanted to see it in story form, so here we are) it wasn't that hard for me to determine that Squall, Aerith, Yuffie, Lea, Isa, and Kairi would have all been in Radiant Garden all at the same time.  I figured that people had probably seen others at school, honestly.  Thus the setting for this first snippet was born.

Then, I connected Squall to Cid, which I greatly love what happened with their relationship.  The interactions between the two of them now COMPLETELY set up how Leon can be "Gosh Cid, why don't you just..." one second and "DARNIT CID" the next.  Which brings me to this image:

Squall and Cid have a HISTORY now.  And it makes so much more sense for their characters, honestly.

Yes, I am aware that Cid's age doesn't fit into anything.  I've decided he's timey-whimey like Donald's nephews.

General comment, to new readers who find my stories and find plot points/character names/etc that conflict with things brought up in KH3D, keep in mind that I started AtP before KH3D was announced, so many things that were introduced simply do not line up with what I'm writing.  Hence, my canon.  (I say this mostly because of the large amount of reviews I still get saying I should have used names like "Lea", "Isa," and "Braig," instead of "Axel," "Saix," and "Xigbar."

Review Replies:

From ravyncl:  I can definitely say that there will be some pairings going on.  Just you wait and see.

Exodin: I can't say too much about who is going to be interacting with whom.  Spoilers!

Cookie: How long do I think this'll be? Well, hopefully not longer than AtP, and if it DOES get to be the length of BB, then hopefully not as draggy.  (Bleh, kinda embarrassed for that one.)  It will go through Radiant Garden's plunge into darkness, my plan is to take it right up to KH1.  So, ten years to cover.  Ish.  And... um... Ansem's title.  Well shoot, I don't know.  Whatever his title is.  It's such a small detail in my opinion for this story.  *shrug*

In general, I'm glad you guys are enjoying this so far and are waiting to see what comes next! Should have more up soon.

Also, I have a video to share here (I think I'm turning into rar) .  I have an obsession with the song below.  I even can sing it.  (Well, as well as I can hit all the notes that Len sings.  It's disturbing when he can sing higher than me.  I mean, I know why he can, but still!)

And, I think that's all I have for you.

Ciao!

Okay, so... super late blog post.  Rar and I were at a con this weekend! And while she was able to get a blog post up, I basically went from con to D&D, to writing for Nano, to bed, to con, to uploading all of my pictures to Facebook, to playing Skyward Sword, to writing, to bed, to... now...

Thus, blog post now!

Erm, I have another blog... for my notafic (to use rar's terminology).  I've only posted a few things, I'll get to posting more regularly now that con and everything is over.  Here's the link to it: 
http://writingformylives.blogspot.com/

As for the latest chapter posted on fanfic... I have no particular notes, so... to the responses!
Hmm, Dear Guest, I'm not too sure what couple I will post it under.  Maybe Roxas and Xion? That would make archsage happy, I know that.  Honestly, I'm not sure.  The next fic I'll be posting on fanfic may entirely be a prequel-like-substance showing how Final Fantasy happened in my universe.  It will probably be posted under either Zack and Aerith, or Rinoa and Squall.  *shrug*  The best way to find the fic though will be from my profile, honestly.  

archsage, I shall not answer your question here... because spoilers.  I can promise some minor mayhem though!

Flightfoot, spoilers! You'll see!

KKBeckett, spoilers! I shan't say! And yes.  VERY obvious video game logic.  I also think I know the book you're talking about by Tamora Pierce.  I can't remember the name of the book though either.  I think it was a few different books that he was able to do that.  It was the Circle of Magic series! That was it! Still can't remember individual titles, though... *shrug* I could see how you'd think that though with Namine and knives.  I don't think she'll hide one in her sleeves though.  I don't think her arms are big enough! 

THIS!

Just, this, just... EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.

Please read the comic and enjoy! Tis rather amusing. 

Have a nice day everyone!

Welcome!

For those of you who are new, WELCOME.  However, you're probably not going to find too much interest in this blog unless you're a reader of my fanfictions.  If you are interested in reading them, here's a link to my profile: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2760212/forevermagik13.  I'd recommend starting with "All the Pieces" (which is where the 'atp' comes from in my url.)  After that you're good to go onto any of the other ones really.  "Can't Escape" is the one I share with my sister, rarmaster.  "Before the Epilogue" is a series of chapters that takes place before the epilogue in AtP.  "Betwixt and Between" is the sequel to AtP.  
I should probably introduce myself... I'm Magik.  Welcome.
For those of you who DO know me.  HI! New blog. Posterous was sucking.  Ya'll know that by now I'm sure.  Now I can actually be sure to get your comments and I can probably post faster... Idk.  So. Yeah.  
http://magiksatpverse.posterous.com/
That's the link to my old blog.  I'll be porting stuff over as the time goes on.  I'll also be still posting there for a bit until the conversion is complete.  Yay.  
For now, that's all I've got for you.  Have a wonderful night!  (If you have any questions, feel free to comment!!)
