Rating: PG-13/SFW
Length: 2,395 words

Summary: It takes a long time for Ringabel to understand why he is drawn toward the holy power of the white mage. Agnès is much better suited toward the role of healer, selfless and dutybound. ...But then, perhaps not all healing is done selflessly.

Honestly, "recs" were my first thought at a prompt of "entertaining". Specifically, I'm highlighting these works not because they're especially deep or anything like that--though one is--but because they have a sense of humor that makes reading/viewing them a delight.

Title: A Child's View
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Characters: [child] Aerith
Rating: PG
Length: 209 words [transcript].
Content notes: I actually tried writing/drawing as a child might do for a letter (mixed results there). So it's both a scan and transcription of the scan beneath the cut. Spelling errors intentional.
Author's notes: Apologies in advance for having no drawing ability and trying to draw how I thought a child might draw. So the drawings aren't supposed to be pretty in the first place... and then I had trouble scanning and editing it to look the way I want. It looks bad, haha. I just got stuck thinking it seemed like an interesting change to writing traditional fic (I'm pretty sure I'll stick to the fic).
Summary: Aerith writes well wishes to a funny sort of friend.
