Augh I am SO proud of this piece. I wanted to lean into a style that more matched the original piece (below the cut), which this doesn't quite do but it is less cell shading and more texture which is what I was really after!!!

@one-winged-dreams your tags ended me (me in the kitchen giggling at my phone) but also I really haven't given much thought to how Aura feels about Seph besides generally fear skdbdmbdhd so I'm going to think on that now!
Rufus does tell them in one of the earlier chapters of long tic that Sephiroth was the actual killer of Rufus' father. But that's very abstract. And they'll know about him from the Jenova experiments that Hojo documented. But I don't think that fear will feel concrete for a while. I think once Tseng gets hurt it might start to feel more real to them? But they are still a level removed. We'll have to see if Rebirth changes that at all. I don't think there's much where Rufus directly is in the same place as Sephiroth iirc 🤔 which is the only reason Aura would be since I don't see him going to pay them a visit specifically
Most importantly they don't know him before he goes off the wall though so smsbsmdjhd
I have been working really hard on this piece since May, and it's finally done!!! The most characters I've ever had in one art piece but HEY! I did it!!!
Consider this the cover for The Best Laid Plans, my ff7 Rufus x OC fan fic, but as you can see it's so much more than that one ship, with a mix of canon characters and OCs!
Woah who is this cool new ff7 ever crisis character
It's Aura Golden~ (they/them)
Style matching was fun!
You can consider this the cover for my upcoming ff7 remake/rebirth fic! Featuring 6 of my OCs (four of whom are in fact already dead, oops fdkjsahfj)
Top row, left to right: Tara (they/them), Allen (he/him), Heather (she/her), and Roxanne (she/they).
Bottom: Aura Golden (they/them) and Karma (he/him, SOLDIER Second Class)
It's an appropriately dramatic cover, I think! Please look forward to the fic soon (I've got 20 chapters finished, sans proof reading and minor edits).
I wasn't done making standee jokes-
It's a RufAura sandwich :D
I got to the part in Chapter 4 where you see RUFUS STANDEES and promptly needed to draw Aura reacting- fkjhsajkds left alone for .2 seconds with your bf's life size standee wyd- (answer: blushing furiously while you stare because damn how is he still hot FLAT and printed on a standee???)
Rufus' little creacher
