She Floated Like a Prayer Final Fantasy VII (Cloud & Aerith) Fanfic by MythboundCal
He doesn’t cry right away.
The weight in his arms feels familiar. Like a sword. Like a burden. Like something he was always meant to carry.
Her hair smells like rain and light. Still. Even now.
Her hands—so small. They were just touching his. Just tugging him forward. Just laughing at him like he was more than a blade pretending to be a man.
He never said it. Of course he didn’t. He wore his love like armor, polished and silent. And she— She danced around him like he was already hers.
He lowers her into the water like he’s placing a prayer. Not for resurrection. But for memory.
The ripples break around her fingers. The ribbon floats like it’s still holding her thoughts.
He wants to scream.
But instead—
He stands.
Because that’s all he’s ever done, isn’t it?
Stand. Carry. Keep going.
Even when he doesn’t know who he’s walking for anymore.
—
Later, when the others ask what she said to him before it happened, He lies.
Not because he wants to. But because the truth was wordless.
Because love doesn’t always sound like “I love you.” Sometimes it sounds like laughter. Sometimes it sounds like “You’re too serious.” Sometimes it sounds like the echo of someone saying your name without fear.
She said “Cloud” like it was a place she wanted to live.
And now he’s a ruin.

A/N: For the moment that taught an entire generation how to grieve, and inspired a whole rebirth. Some echoes never fade. 🦋
it's hard being a ray vecchio fan when every screenshot or gifset out of context doesnt adequately represent the extreme depth of feeling he has pretty much every time he talks to fraser and like yes you're literally watching the human embodiment of gonzo the muppet fondly sugar daddying an autistic canadian model for two seasons just because, but crucially he also has bedroom eyes and his voice matches his face in a way that runs the range from very funny to extremely emotionally devastating and he has beautiful hands and he carried fraser for a full day on his back so he's not even that noodly. he just wears stupid padded jackets 😭

Correction:
[Ranma ½] ✥ Chapter 14, Who Says You’re Cute?!
Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so " bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are.
Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.
