Clamorous Amorous (part 1)

Title: Clamorous Amorous - Chapter One: Feeling Like a Schoolboy (Too Shy and Too Young)
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy VII
Rating: R
Summary: Ninja princess + grounded pilot = OMG TRU LUV
Author's Notes: AU. So very, very AU. Having only played Kingdom Hearts, and not the sequel, and having played it years ago, I took some massive liberties with the characters and their circumstances. Yuffie, Cid, et al, are not "new" versions of themselves, but are the Yuffie, Cid, et al, from their original Final Fantasy games. They've been brought to Traverse Town by some unknown force, and are trying to come to terms with their situation to the best of their abilities.

The idea was blatantly stolen from inspired by Guardian1's The Lion In The Meadow. I loved, loved, loved how she used Yuffie's relationship with Leon to explore Yuffie's relationship with Vincent. So, this story assumes that Yuffie and Vincent were together during the events prior to the narrative. Also, as per canon, Cid and Shera were married.

----

I talked to Cid whenever I got an opportunity, because he's one of us and I needed to reminisce with someone other than Aeris - I love her and she's a sweetheart and she's ten times the person I'll ever hope to be and talking with her is like talking to the world's best mom plus a fuzzy kitten plus a unicorn or something - and all that stuff is great, but sometimes I needed to have a conversation with someone who'd swear and curse and stomp around and hate, hate, hate those bastards for not being here. And Aeris can't hate, she just can't, and I can.
