Midgar/pre-Nibelheim Aya, made using this picrew <3

today i woke up to a few doodles of Aya looking like the Narrator from Fight Club, Claudia trying to blow some shit up and Yori dressed in a similar style to Marla.

so in this AU Aya gets with Claudia, but she fails to save her in Nibelheim. saved by Yori, she represses the memory of Claudia and Nibelheim altogether and basically the last few months of her life end up being blank for her. she continues to work at Shinra, getting gradually more disillusioned with the company, but soon meets someone introducing herself as Claudia - a 33yo punk single mom who wants to deal as much damage as possible to Shinra, claiming that they "took her son away from her". They befriend each other and cause Aya to quit her job and start helping Claudia in destroying the company. Enamored by her looks and charisma, partially mirroring her attraction to the real Claudia, Aya basically becomes a partner in her endeavors. In the meantime, Yori finally gets laid after Aya gets together with her, but, as a trade off, she has to occasionally deal with her girlfriend's new 33yo mom persona and being called 'angel' in various situations, effectively getting more and more weirded out as the time goes on.

Aya would probably end up taking over Avalanche and turning it into something much worse. Shinra wouldn't even have to drop the plate, since she would probably do that herself, effectively killing her own loyal sister in the process, after Avalanche would evolve into a project mayhem-style movement.

shout out to my trauma-loving partner who decided to keep the necklace Aya gave Claudia on her imaginary friend-self. i only noticed this while writing this post
