A/N : I feel like this is long overdue, so I apologize. Secondly, I've always wanted to do something like this, so I popped twenty-five words out of this random-word-generator I found and set myself to it. I actually like it. So yeah, each word served for a prompt for a sentence about Zack and Aerith (or both). Some are a little obscure, while a few are obvious with their inspiration, but I think it makes it more interesting that way.

Oh my gosh, five reviews?? That's the most I've ever gotten for this story! Thank you so so so much (Warrayfinson, ZacksFlowerGirl, Shtuff, chipmouskin, and Sir FrozenPickle) ! You guys are completely awesome!

Please review again, or drop an opinion if you haven't before, because I'd love to hear your thoughts. They inspire me so much, and well, without them, you probably wouldn't be reading this, haha.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy.

Fragments

Stitch

Zack had survived numerous wounds, physical and emotional, yet Aerith's goodbye was one which he knew he would never recover from.

Flutter

Aerith had felt her pulse race before, her mind whirl, the rare but slightly painful feeling that comes from laughing too hard, but it took Zack's smile to make her heart skip a beat.

Overture

She hadn't really expected him to come back, even though the honesty in his eyes made her hope; only when he out-dazzled the sun the next afternoon did she allow herself to hear the symphony.

Deadline

The infantryman cursed as the target simply would not go down, and for a moment he wondered why the other was fighting so hard against the inevitable; shaking his head, he reloaded his gun, knowing he had a wife at home waiting for him.

Impulse

Aerith was knee-deep in blossoms when something soft and sweet suddenly pressed against her lips, but when she blushed in question, Zack only laughed.

Chase

With the letters trapped in the prison of a glass box, no one could hear their pleas; they weren't finished yet, no, they hadn't found him.

Reflect

When Zack thought about it, he realized he must've been one of the luckiest people in the world; he'd gotten to see heaven's wings and moments later fall into the arms of an angel.

Wonder

Zack had never filled her with sorrow, or anger, or any type of negative emotion at all; Aerith wasn't sure it was normal to be this happy.

Youth

Sometimes he would just watch her, eye catching on the dainty pink ribbon tied in her hair, and imagine the life that was stretched before them, the life both were ready to share.

Crash

One day Zack was there, and the next he wasn't; it happened so quickly that she wasn't ready for the fall back into reality.

Ruin

She wished she could brave the plate and go looking, but her deepest heart was frozen with fear knowing that Zack wouldn't be there in case the sky came crashing down.

Draft

Aerith had thousands of reunions ready in her head, yet she couldn't bring herself to choose because as long as Zack was there, every one was perfect.

Display

They stood with clipboards ready, recently shined glasses perched upon every nose, listening intently as the specimen repeated the same mumbled words over and over; what could this 'aerith' be?

Cause

When she asked him why, Zack told her that he wanted to be a hero; sometimes Aerith had to wonder if that justified all the lives he had taken.

Key

Zack had been the way to a whole new world of possibilities and emotions, but when he was gone Aerith quietly let that lock rust over, never to open again.

Road

Being called on a exotic, faraway mission used to bring euphoria and elation, yet lately Zack only knew those feelings in a certain church in the slums.

Linger

When he returned to the barracks after a day of selling flowers, the other recruits would tease him playfully, saying he smelled like a girl; Zack would just wave them off and smile, knowing that he carried a piece of her with him.

Sin

With his easily captured attention and habits of jumping around when he retold stories, Zack had crushed a total of thirty-one flowers during his visits; if it were anyone else, they would've gotten much worse than a lecture.

Traverse

When her final words spilled from her heart with the help of ink splotched with tears, and the last letter left her hands and entered those who she could not trust, Aerith kept repeating to herself it was because paper was just too expensive now.

Shadow

As she walked, Aerith would look down at the ruined streets, spotting only one soul where there once had been two.

Loop

The small homeless boy peeked through the garbage cans for the sixteenth time that month, watching the pretty flower girl pass by as she always did, and he wondered why there was no one beside her.

Spilt

As his blood becomes rivers to quench the thirst of the world that slew him, Zack can only remember the care of a shy smile and the love in a special pair of green eyes.

Coast

Zack should have been enjoying his vacation, but he spends the entire week trying to figure out how to tell Aerith how much he missed her.

Deliver

While time passes, Aerith receives four more birthday cards, but never the present she's constantly waiting for.

Weakness

When he felt Aerith's thin arms wrap around his neck in a silent attempt to comfort him through his broken tears, Zack promised himself that he would take care of her next time.
