Also, here, have some random songfics I wrote up on the fly. I'd offer them as "appetizers", but sadly they both ended up rather dark (I blame my play list >:( )
1. These Living Arms - The Tea Party
Sephiroth drifted in and out of consciousness, pain fogging his mind. He wasn't sure what had happened, only that Bobraknia had done something, and that now he was aware of red wetness in his chest.
Someone was singing.
Sephiroth moaned softly as the fog lifted slightly... leaving him encircled by slim arms, cradling him like a child. Painfully, he opened his eyes.
How had he known that Hotaru would have wings? How had he never seen them before? Was it only now that he was on the brink of death that his eyes were clear enough to see them... smaller and finer than his own, but glowing with pure white light?
Her eyes were filled with tears, streaking down the grime of battle on her cheeks. But still she sang softly to him, only to him... a lullaby he had never heard before. It was beautiful.
He smiled.
May nothing harm you... I'm still inside you... With my wings around you... Sweet lover, go on... oh, love, be strong...
(AN: More deathfic, wtf. DX Well, not entirely death fic, he might get better. ;-) The Tea Party is such a great Sephiroth/Hotaru band, btw. ^^ This song would be a great post-lovemaking song too, as you can tell by those lyrics there... I guess I was just in a dark mood :O)
2. Creeping Up On You - Darren Hayes
She didn't see the catlike eyes watching her from the darkness... Sephiroth was pretty sure of that. He was a master at stealth, and had taken pains to ensure the young Senshi would be unaware of his presence until he CHOSE to appear before her.
He'd been watching her for months, had done so ever since he'd become aware of her power. At first, he'd wanted to challenge her, defeat her in combat, wrestle that power from her by force like he did with so much else. But he'd realized quickly that such a course would get him nowhere.
From a pocket of his trenchcoat, he fished out his latest "treasure"... a ribbon she'd discarded in the trash. Smiling, he brought the purple silk to his lips, smirking as his lips touched it.
No, this would need subtlety... approaching her just the right way. He wouldn't fight her... that wouldn't be the way to conquer her. He kept watching, saw the weak points in her defense... the loneliness, the alienation, the ache she showed when she was alone... and when the moment was right, he would hit her right where she was vulnerable.
The ribbon was silky in his hand. He smiled. He hoped the moment would come soon.
(AN: Whoa, creepy dark!Sephiroth stalker fic outta nowhere! I still kinda like it, though, fits how a darker version of their relationship - where Sephiroth uses her loneliness and his attractiveness to seduce her - could develop. Obviously, this totally doesn't work with our main fanon, though ;D)
On an unrelated note, do you know of a singer called Hayley Westenra? Because she's my new favorite singer after playing Endless Ocean. ^^
