Fic: Time Your Every Breath (Barret, PG)

[sister_coyote]

Wheeee, actual productivity! Apologies for the lateness of this giftfic.

Time Your Every Breath
Barret doesn't consider himself a thoughtful man, but a few things weigh perpetually on his mind. Introspection.
FFVII, Barret. Set a couple months after the game. 800 words. For kira_k, who requested something with Barret.
Worksafe.

Ahh, good Barretfic is a rare thing. This fic hits that particular way of showing him that makes me appreciate Barret, however cliched and obnoxious he can come off in the official sources. (My memory of Barret will always be of the part in the game when the plate has fallen, and he thinks Marlene was under it and is shooting up the place. I could imagine his pain, and simultaneously knew that a lot of people didn't take that part seriously because his sprite looks so silly.)

Thanks! Barret is tricky, because he often does look kind of... goofy, in the game. Which is a shame, because he's full of rage and pain, but that gets undercut.

Thank you!
