Author's Notes: Just a series of letters back and forth as Angeal and Genesis move to Midgar



Dear Mom,

We got here all right. Genesis has already got himself a little group of fangirls. They actually came into the city with us.

The SOLDIER recruiter is going to let us test tomorrow, though I don’t think we’re going to have any issues. Though he didn’t seem sure about Genesis, at least not until Gen flipped the guy without even trying. Nobody was hurt, but he was impressed after that.

We’re both eating fine, and have a nice place to sleep. So don’t worry about that. I’ll write more later, but I promised to write you.

Love,
Angeal



Dear Gillian-Mom,

Look. I’m writing. Just like you made me promise. And Angeal is giving me a look as I say that out loud. He’s still bossy as ever.

We had our tests this morning, and we find out tomorrow what the results will be. The doctor who looked at us is a bit creepy. Name is Hollander, I think. He was far too cheerful at seeing us. Is he one of the men you used to work with? Because he knew Angeal was your son.

Better go before Angeal’s stomach makes that noise again. It’s scary.

Love,
Genesis



Mother and Father,

We were accepted into SOLDIER as SOLDIERs 2nd Class. I’m sure you will be disappointed that we are 2nds, but nobody is brought in as a 1st. Not even Sephiroth. So I’ll simply have to live with your disapproval in this matter.

Both of us have settled well, and are already living on the SOLDIER floor in the Shin-Ra Tower. I suppose once we have our PHS, I will contact you with the number.

I know this is beneath your standing, but could you keep an eye on Gillian? Angeal and I worry about her.

Genesis



Dear Boys,

It’s good that you are both doing well. Don’t mind Hollander. If he gives you too many problems, feel free to have him give me a call. I’ll set him straight.

That’s right, I can still scared those monsters in the closet. And, yes, Genesis, I am giving you that look.

I hope that you boys are both eating well, and keeping an eye out for each other. Midgar is a completely different world from Banora, as I well know.

Be careful, and I hope that you boys are happy. I miss you already.

Hugs and kisses,
Gillian



Ma’am,

Angeal is encouraging me to write this, and he has been a good person to me so far. I just wanted to say thank you for the pie that you sent to Angeal and Genesis. They were kind enough to share, and I believe it might have been the best thing I have ever eaten. Angeal says the proper thing to do is to show my appreciation.

So here is the letter doing so. I apologize if I say anything wrong, as this is my first time writing a letter as opposed to a report.

Thank you again.

Sephiroth



Dear Mom,

Yes, Sephiroth is a year younger than me, and he’s been pretty sheltered. He’s a good guy, though, and it’s been fun to spend time with him. He and Genesis really rile each other up, which is pretty fun to watch. And some of the 2nd Classes don’t mind us hanging out in their hall, so we can avoid Hojo. Who is damn creepy.

I can just see your look. Yep, me and Genesis are official SOLDIERs 1st Class now. Surprise!

Just wanted to wait until we had our uniforms before telling you. There’s a picture.

Love,
Angeal



Dear Gillian-Mom,

Your son is being stubborn. I need your recipe for the soup you make, as he’s not eating nearly enough right now. I think the latest set of tests in the lab are putting him off his food. Hollander has been really focused lately. We might need that phone call.

Though good luck getting through. A group managed to do something that fried our PHS system, so until they get it fixed, it’s probably faster to mail things.

Feel free to yell at Angeal. I need -someone- around to keep me from murdering Sephiroth.

Miss you,
Genesis



Dear Ma’am,

Angeal is currently chasing Genesis around threatening his book. So I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you again for letting me join your son on his last visit home. It is the first time I’ve been to that area. It’s very different from Wutai. Lots of apples.

You are a great deal nicer than Genesis’s parents. I enjoyed the visit, and I hope that I did not impose too much on you.

I should step in, as Angeal is currently making Genesis yell by messing up his hair.

They are my best friends.

Sephiroth



Dear Mom,

Genesis is acting odd. I’m not sure what is going on, but he’s being pretty secretive since he got hurt during that spar. He and Hollander have been talking at odd times, and both go quiet whenever they see me. Sephiroth says they are doing the same to him. Hollander won’t even let Sephiroth donate blood, though I’m pretty sure he’s more compatible with Genesis than I am.

I hope everything works out, and I just wanted to write and say I plan on coming for a visit soon. Maybe I’ll bring Zack with me.

Love you,
Angeal



Gillian,

Genesis has learned the matters that surrounded his birth. Angeal is currently unaware, but I know he is chasing after Genesis. The idiot abandoned Shin-Ra and took a lot of SOLDIERs with him, and Angeal seems to think he can bring him back.

I don’t know how our son will react to the news of circumstances of his birth. Or the idea that I am his father, not the man you married.

He is my son, no matter how you try to deny it. And he is dying.

Convince him to come home. I can fix him.

Hollander

*cries over poor Sephiroth*

[icedark_elf]

He is so sadly adorable in my head when he writes this. Of course, in my headcanon, he's also two years younger than Angeal and Genesis. So he's sadly adorable and rather ickle.

[guiltyred]

Oh, ouch. They started out so hopeful... *cries*

[icedark_elf]

They do. Which makes the end that much more depressing.
