Ohhhhh...I get it! Everything makes total sense now... ;)
::envisions commercial::
"Lifestream! Now available for recycling your loved ones!"
Does Aeris know?
Anyway, congrats on finishing this!

[ardwynna_m]

;D
Aeris doesn't know know, she just accepts the Planet's assurance that her baby's in a good place.

Yay, fic done! Now to get cracking on some of those others, right? XD

[madcap_minstrel]

It's kinda sweet to know that those two kids have this little secret with the Planet.
Oh- little AeriSeph alert here: remember Sulphurya? I've seen your reviews of her stories, but in case you've forgotten which ones, the first one is called "The World Is Not Enough" and features a ticklish, candy-addicted Sephiroth.
Anyway, she's back after a five-year absence. :D
Between you planning to finish "Path", my re-write of "Us & Them", Sulphurya coming back, and this new story "The Living Key" that recently came about, I think A/S fanfiction is doing just fine. :)

[ardwynna_m]

They are close, those two. They have work to do. ;)

And yes, I remember her! XD Awesomesauce, AeriSeph is doing well. It may never be a major pairing but I am so glad it seems to be at least generally recognized in fandom instead of being super rare and drawing outrage and hate for existing like it did early on.

[madcap_minstrel]

Early on like when? I didn't join the fandom until I was 20(early 2004) and at that point, all I've ever remembered was simply people going "Meh, it doesn't make sense". :/
That's why it's so rewarding when I get a review or PM that says "I don't normally support this pairing, BUT...". You know how it is. ;)
I think the first AeriSeph I ever read was "Like Fallen Angels".

[ardwynna_m]

Like around 2000 or so. People would drop by to flame and generally act like Aeriseph fans were out of our minds. There was a fair bit of "What is wrong with you?" tossed my way when I was just a reader hunting for my rarepair fix. I can't say why, Seph's arguably done worse to Cloud and that never stopped those shippers. :P
My first AeriSeph was 'Irony of Fate'. I think it was a lot of people's first A/S back then.

[madcap_minstrel]

Yeah, "Irony of Fate" followed soon after. I hope JenesisX recovers from her ailments and is able to continue her stuff.
We just need a centralized hangout for the A/S crowd.
And yes. The stabbing was really the only thing bad he did to Aeris. If she comes back through whatever means each author comes up with, is it even valid?
At least me, NocturneX and JenesisX(what's with this "X" business?) have altered stab-free timelines as an excuse. :P

[ardwynna_m]

I hope so too. I was so excited to see her writing again. I used to hope Aurora Magazine would have been the hangout place way back when but it went under really quickly. There's the LJ comm and one on DW but people don't frequent journal sites like they used to so both are sitting nearly dead in the water.
I think the stabbing's valid if Aeris decides to hold it over Sephiroth's head for leverage and/or blackmail. ;D
There was a time in the fandom when it was very hip to give yourself a title, usually 'Lady' Something or the other. Naming trends, they comes and they goes. ;P
