Want to play with any of the above? Leave a comment with their name in the header and a prompt or a starter and I'll get back to you! ➝ AUs welcome! Otherwise, all characters are available from various canon points: OG, Advent Children or Remake. ➝ Some memes for ideas: caught in the rain, soulmates, body heat, otherworldly, deserted island, and of course random scenario. Feel free to make up your own! Hell, you can even just text them, they've all got phones. ➝ Other old muses (Cloud, Cid, Yuffie) in need of dusting off are tentatively available for tagging out later on!

You wanted him to follow his dreams. That's sweet!

[She shifts her weight and her position, tucking her legs beneath her and leaning forward with a hand braced against the ground for support.]

I don't think you're selfish, though. It's just wishes! "What ifs." We're all allowed to dream dreams, Tifa.

[starshower]

[A peal of laughter flares up in her chest.]

I guess we are.

[There she goes again, spinning things into encouragement. She'd wondered before, too, if wishing that he could have stayed behind in Nibelheim was a selfish thing to want, and if things would have turned out differently if he had, but it's not like she can go back and change any of that!]

I was still a kid then. Wishing on stars and all that! [She still does it, when she can see them.] I'm just glad that he's back. Even more glad that he's getting along with everyone so well. About as much as anyone can hope for with him.

[inheritedearth]

Wishing on stars...

[It’s a nice idea— something Aerith had never really had the opportunity for with the steel sky above, but she’s certainly heard of it, and read at least a dozen stories where characters did the same.]

Hmm. Did any of them ever come true?

[starshower]

[Tifa's arm wraps around herself, gripping her other one tighter than she means to.]

Y'know, I wonder about that.

[She tries to think back to the things she used to wish for, but then everything that followed was a sequence of very unfortunate events. The opposite of the things she would have wished for. But she isn't about to let that ruin an innocent conversation about something as silly as wishing on stars.]

Probably! I wished for a lot of things back then, I'm sure some of them would have come true. [A beat, as she grins at Aerith.] Wished for more girls to be around. That one came true.

[inheritedearth]

You wished for that?

[She looks momentarily taken by surprise, but grins broadly in the moments following. That's awfully sweet— and not unlike Aerith's own desires.]

You know, I wished for that, too. Never on a star, but I think it still counts! I've never had many other girls around.

[Or other people in general, come to think of it.]

I'm— really glad we met. Even if the circumstances have been kind of crazy?
