And here we go. Part 2 of my series "Prisonic Fairytale" that is based on Lyra_Sanzennine's "Shevirat ha-Kelim".
Before I say anything else, I want to mention this, because it is really important, so open your eyes and read at least this, before you continue on to the first chapter. The relationship portrayed in this isn't a healthy one, nor is it a normal one. All of this, is meant to stay exclusively in the fantasy realm. Stay safe people.
With that out of the way, I'd like to thank Lyra for letting me write this. I've said it once before, and I'll say it again, letting someone else go ham on the world you have spent so long crafting wouldn't be easy for me to do, so I have great respect for those who do it. So, thank you Lyra.
I'd also like to thank anyone who read "A Flower and a Child". That was my first venture into writing something that is longer than a page, as well as something that other people will read.
For anyone reading this, that hasn't read either the original work this whole this is based on, or the prequel to this, it is not necessary to do so, but it is strongly encouraged to read at least the original up to chapter 23. "A Flower and a Child" sets up some things that this work will call back to, but I would say that you can probably feel your way through if you haven't read it. That said, those who want to have the best experience should have read through everything that leads to this.
Unlike last time around, this time there will be smut. Warning, this is my first time writing sex and... well I don't think it came out too bad, but you know... exercise caution. There will be a note before it starts and another one when it ends, so you will be able to easily skip it if you so choose.
Last time, I tried to focus on setting up the world and the characters the way I wanted to. This time, the story will focus a lot more on the consequences of everything that has happened, and what that thing that Sephiroth mentioned at the end of the prequel to this. It will also be about Sephiroth and Aeris' relationship, of course, but it will lean a bit more towards trying to take a peek inside Sephiroth's head.
What I'm trying to convey is that, alongside the smut, there will be a lot of plot. And I really mean a lot.
I think that this goes without saying, but this isn't a work that you should read if you want to brighten your day. It is not meant for that, which should be obvious by the tags, but I will mention it anyways. There are plenty of nasty things in this, so be careful when you read this.
It is also not easy to read, nor is it meant to be. For me, any sort of art, is something to be picked apart. Something to interact with. Just like its prequel, this is not meant to be easy to read and understand in one go.
This work contains lots of references to music, films, and historical figures. I do not claim ownership of any of the original works. They belong to their respective owners.
Something that I feel is worth mentioning, is that English isn't my first language, and even though I consider myself pretty good at it, expect to find mistakes. I would appreciate any notes in the comments. No matter if they are grammatical or just notes on the story or characters themselves. I welcome all.
I know that this whole series doesn't exactly align with the message of the original, nor is it mean to. If you want that, go read it. This is different, that is the whole point.
Power and submission - Yes.
Meteor and Holy – Not really.
Atonement and forgiveness – Highly questionable.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and now, on with the story.
