Summary: Just a little drabbly about Aerith.
Author's Note: I was listening to Aeriths Theme on repeat, what can I say? Its a beautiful song. It really is. So sad, but at the same time you can't help feeling hopeful. Oddly enough, she'd probably my least favourite FF7 character. . Weird how that works. (176wrds)
A Smile
Life throws curve balls at the best of people. You can't count on the unexpected, nor can you prepare for it. She never expected to be in the position of saving the world. She never asked to be, nobody does. Its a heavy weight, one she carried happily for as long as it was hers to carry. There was enough standing between her and her goal that any other would have dropped the load, left it to some other, supposedly better suited, person. She didn't. Her friends, few and odd as they were, helped her with that. She faced everything with a brave and positive face. Just because things looked bleak didn't mean you couldn't smile.
There's always something to smile about. Particularly simple things. Like flowers in odd places.
And so Aerith smiled when things were easy and fun. She smiled when times were hard. She smiled when danger lurked, and when death itself hung over her head to take her too soon.
