Summary
Genesis Rhapsodos had never been a quiet person. Even as an infant—though he had never been told the story—he had screamed louder than most, demanded attention and love more forcefully. The attention he received, though as a human experiment it was not always (indeed not often) the kind he wanted. The love he never did receive—at least, not for a long time, not in the ways that truly counted.
Or, several times Genesis got hit with the Silence spell, and how utterly he detests the experience

Summary
For Sephgeal Week 2024, Day 3: Soup
An unfamiliar sizzling sound coaxed Sephiroth’s attention back to Angeal’s cooking. His friend was standing serenely by the stove, a strangely peaceful look of concentration coloring his features with care. The spoon he was using seemed small next to his bulk, but he handled it with practiced ease.
Angeal makes Sephiroth pumpkin soup in the quest to find food Sephiroth enjoys.

Summary
He really did try to get it right, but it never seemed to be enough. He didn’t even really know where to start to fix this defect in him. How on earth was it so easy for everyone else? Perhaps he was just made to be alone. Some weapons were made with siblings, twin daggers alone together against the world, but not him—he was a lone katana, cold and distant from the start, folded in on himself a thousand times over and unable to reach out.
Sephiroth has trouble interacting normally with his new friends. After an unfortunate incident involving the labs, they discover why, and reassure him that they love him just the way he is.

Summary
Angeal was not fine. Sometimes, everything just felt like far too much, like his well-muscled shoulders were not nearly enough to bear the weight of everything pressing down upon him. But they were, and honestly, that was kind of the problem.
Angeal needs to learn how to stop suffering in silence and ask for help. Genesis is there for him when he does.

Summary
He wasn’t at all used to making this many choices, with so much freedom in the options, and he was finding it to be unbearably exhausting. He wanted this, yes; but every new thing that wasn’t quite what he wanted felt like a blow to his soul, draining his hope that he could function like the normal, independent person he wished he could be.
Genesis takes Sephiroth shopping for the first clothes he has ever picked out for himself. It doesn’t go quite as well as either of them had hoped.

Summary
His mind was no longer his own. This place was no longer his own. He life had never been his own; all of the people holding his strings in his life had wound them around his neck, and he could feel them strangling him right this moment. He was going to die never having lived a day in his life. The only two people that gave him life would soon realize they’d never had theirs either. He was a monster. He was weak. He was a failure; all his life, never better than second best. Never anyone’s priority, other than in ways that forced other people to deal with his problems for him. He just wanted to live. Why couldn’t he live?
An account of Genesis' struggles between his injury in the training room and his desertion of Shinra. (barely M? I think? I just figured better safe than sorry)

Summary
After setting up camp in Banora, Genesis takes a moment to stew in the troubles that have beset his life as of late. Angeal is there to catch him when he breaks, even if he needs to break too.
Genesis refilled his wine glass, clenching his teeth tightly enough to give himself a headache. He nearly bit his own tongue off when the doors creaked open—but it was only Angeal, returning from…wherever he’d gone, after Genesis had watched the last of the light fade from his parents’ eyes. The wine tasted sour in his mouth as he eyed the white-feathered wing poised behind his friend’s back.
