It's about three weeks late but as usual with me, these things get out of hand. A preview of the next part of Just Be Still With Me is below. It should be up in the next day or so.
“Shit!”
Genesis was knocked out of his reverie by Aerith slipping on one of the jagged rocks on the way down, stopping herself just before the plunge. Her dress was caught on one of the jagged edges and she had to carefully extricate herself from it.
“Remind me to procure you some appropriate clothing,” Genesis said, jumping down to meet her. It was different for a SOLDIER, gravity meant little to them where Aerith seemed to make an enemy of it several times a week. He had to be able to do better than Shinra’s designers; he had better taste than balloon pants at the very least.
“For climbing into caves?” Aerith said, taking his offered hand. “Do you foresee a lot of this in my future?”
“Much of what was left of the Cetran civilisation is likely buried,” Genesis pointed out. “Frequent spelunking could be in your future. I'd prefer you had some decent armour regardless. You never know when you're going to have to use it.”
“I guess it wouldn't hurt,” Aerith agreed.
It was so strange to think of the contrast between her and the other ‘lab grown’ resident of the house. Sephiroth had always been someone who relied heavily on microexpressions and body codes unless you managed to really piss him off as few people (Genesis notwithstanding) could. Aerith on the other hand presented her emotions like an open book.
Maybe it was another familial parallel between them – wielded correctly, the truth was a better armour than any lie.

I've seen you and a few people talk about writing fic for toralei episode, when do you think you'll get yours out of you do /no pressure
Well I don’t think I ever fully promised to write a story for the episode. However, I am writing a fanfic currently about the plot hole of Toralei never being mentioned for the wolf, family and flashbacks or over the summer. I will link the same fanfic I had linked the other day, which is my fanfic for what should’ve happened in the episode, or the more Angstier version of the episode.
I’m not sure about the others unfortunately!
The angsty depressed summer toralei? Give or take 2-3 days. I’ll make a post if it’s sooner
also 😭 the episode just came out yesterday, give us some time to actually writer the story por favor. I know you’re just excited. But I also have a life outside of monster high and it’s been very busy
Here’s the fic!

I wrote this earlier today and wanted to put it here:
I forgor the context (my memory is so bad-) but I know it’s “what if the Fears were Romantic” and this is about the Stranger <3
Dance with us. We may not seem familiar, but that is okay. You know us as we know you. Our faces may be different, our heartbeats changing, our skin revealing our plastic. But, we are still here, we are still dancing. The circus will always be preforming, just for you. Always for you, even if you do not know.

“...hello?”
“Hi, uh, I would’ve just messaged you but I feel like this is a little too important for that”
“...what happened?”
“Okay, so, you know how we’re all legally dead? And that we’ve basically been invisible for the past 6 years?”
“...someone finally started questioning didn’t they?”
“Yeah I think someone must’ve seen us by this house, and, well, people have thought it was abandoned for who knows how long, and must’ve reported that to someone or something like that, because someone came to our house today and started questioning, thankfully I didn’t let them in the house but somehow they recognized me? I don’t know how because the only thing about me that’s the same is the height and...well maybe it was the hat that gave it away”
“...did you confirm it was you?”
“...”
“...Chase...”
“Look I wasn’t thinking! Someone asks you if you are who you are? What’s the first thing you do? Confirm.”
“...okay you brought that upon yourself.”
“Come on please we don’t know where else to go”
“I didn’t say I was abandoning you I was saying you merely brought accidentally revealing your identity upon yourself. Actually, I’ve been thinking, you’re saying this like going back into society is a bad thing, and maybe it’s just because I’ve been disconnected from it for almost a century, but is it really as bad as you make it out to be?”
“This is more than just about paying taxes dude, you know that legally dead thing? Yeah there’s at least a few people who literally watched some of us die, like Marvin, though technically someone watched all of us die but his was the only one where it was accidental BUT ANYWAY what I’m saying is people will start questioning us on if we are who we really are, and if we can’t confirm, I don’t wanna know what will happen, maybe jail, if we can confirm, I don’t wanna know what will happen, maybe we’ll get tested on, neither scenario is good, so we’ve been basically hiding ourselves from anyone that could give us away. Hell, Henrik’s risking us by still having a job, but hey, we gotta get the money for food somewhere, and he’s mentioned there’s been suspicious activity there anyway and it’s still up and running, so maybe that’s the safest bet we had, but now...”
“...please don’t tell me you let that guy go.”
“What do you want us to do, kill the guy? We’re not causing a disappearance that’s gonna make us look more suspicious! Anyway Marvin gave us a temporary solution by doing some fuckin men in black type neuralizer spell that, while apparently temporary, will make the guy forget he saw us long enough that we could hopefully be gone by the time it wears off”
“...what?”
“Where did I lose you”
“...what’s a neuralizer?”
“It’s a thing from the men in black movies that wipes your memories of a certain event, it was typically used to make the public forget about a big alien sighting and go back to their daily lives like nothing happened. Marvin basically did that except it’s temporary. He doesn’t know how long it lasts so we wanna leave as soon as possible”
“And you’re gonna ask if you can stay here, aren’t you?”
“...maybe”
“Well, you guys do visit often enough that you practically already do, so it won’t be too much of a change, and I feel like this pocket dimension does have enough space to fit 7 or 8 more people, and that’s just the part we have explored, however don’t expect to be living in the building, the rooms in there are merely temporary stays, and the third floor in general is merely considered more of a “hangout spot” and not a true living space, so you will have your own houses to stay in, just like most everybody else, but you will each have to help in the process”
“...most?”
“...we do not know the whereabouts of everyone, but we believe some stay in the unexplored parts of this place out of sight”
“Weird, okay, anyway you said houses?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
“Well, I don’t know how many of us trust ourselves to live alone, and well, there’s a certain someone who might find it easier to pick us off one by one if we lived separate, and I for one would prefer to not die alone again”
“...hm. Fair point. Okay, I don’t think a communal house will be any harder than 6 or 7 individual ones, once we are done here I will be informing the others about this new happening, I’m sure some people on both sides will be happy about this, despite the circumstances that caused this to happen. You did inform the others about what you would be calling for, yes?”
“Yeah, it was even Jackie who suggested I call you actually, I’m gonna be letting him and everyone else know we’re probably gonna be fine, I’m sure we’re all a bit worried, I know I was”
“I’m sure anyone would be in this situation. Well, I’ll leave you to, whatever you may be doing, and let us know when you’re ready so we know when to expect you”
“I will. Thank you Dark”
“Mm.”

I saw there was some discussion of Sephiroth feeling self-conscious about his eyes and well, this happened.
“You’re shilling for the company because they want the next generation of sociopathic white coats, SOLDIERs and cannon fodder – excuse me, public security forces. People who are interested will come from the media campaign and those who don’t will not be convinced by seeing you in the flesh. You’re a SOLDIER, not a mythical creature who needs to be seen to be believed.”
“I’m supposed to convince them I have something of value to say,” Sephiroth explained. “A difficult proposition when they often come up to my nose in an attempt to see if my eyes are ‘real’. My peculiar appearance can cause a considerable amount of problems.”
“It’s not peculiar,” Angeal said, placing a hand out onto Sephiroth’s forearm. “It’s just different.”
“It absolutely is peculiar,” Genesis snorted.
“Genesis,” Angeal’s tone lowered enough that he wondered if his best friend would have made a decent baritone in another life.
