A/N: I'm not quite satisfied with this snippet, which came to me in the midst of a migraine. However, the idea captured my attention. It was vaguely inspired by the Ellone & Auron piece I recommended recently, plus a

Never would have thought to read Auron and Aeris together in a fic...
(Aeris? Aerith? Whatever. I feel like I have a lisp if I say Aerith. Always liked the messed-up translation we got when VII was released here. Aeris is prettier to me.)

Anyway, whatever reservations you have about this, I really liked it. I think you really have Aeris' voice down in this one. Wonderful little fic to make being stuck at my work desk seem so much better.

Kingdom Hearts was a very odd game, but it does raise intriguing crossover possibilities.

I like Aeris, but that's the first time I've ever written her. She's a challenging character, with all these subtle grades of "goddess" and "ordinary flower girl" and "cheeky/wise" and "innocent/sweet".

P.S. not to belabor it, but I wanted to make sure you saw that Lucil & Elma freak out Clasko ficlet, because it'll make you grin. :)

I LOVE CROSSOVERS. I LOVE YOU.

... I want to write an Auron/Belgemine story. Not a crossover, obviously, but it would be interesting.

[auronlu]

I've barely ever written crossovers, but then, I barely ever stray outside of Spira.

I've always wanted to see a Belgemine & Auron fic of any sort; in fact I've challenged somebody or other to write one! (now I can't remember whom).

Here via ff_press and I must say that I really loved this. Your Aerith was really well-written and I've always enjoyed your Auron. (I sound like a stalker now, oops.)

[auronlu]

Hee. Stalkers gladly welcomed, thank you! :)

Agh, the disorientation of the Farplane is virtually palpable, and yet Auron is still Auron.

The poetics are lovely, and Aeris is...just as I remember her. Sweet, with an edge of otherwordly wisdom.

And of course, this feels like the beginning of what could rapidly turn into a grand adventure.

[auronlu]

I desperately wish I had an adventure for them to go on. I'm going to let this percolate in the back of my mind, just in case.

(And the fun thing is that it wouldn't be a shipfic, it would just be two self-contained souls sharing the road.)

Awesome. I love how Aeris so confuses him, but he goes along with it anyways. :-)
