FFX-2: Inside Reverse Fold

Fandom: Final Fantasy X-2
Pairing: None
Warnings: None
Rating: G
Summary: Baralai shapes New Yevon like paperfolding. Accompanying photo here.



Baralai is patient with the paper. He aligns it perfectly before he presses it down and even if it doesn't come out first time, he grits his teeth and carefully reshapes it, pressing it until the fold is crisp and neat. Like New Yevon, he thinks. A piece of blank paper that he'll shape into a bird to fly.

Fold on fold, and if he makes a mistake now, it comes out sloppy and fragile. He shapes the head, an inside reverse fold, and he holds his breath, willing it to go right. Carefully fold for a tail and -- there.

I love this piece. The title caught my eye at once, and I am startled and pleased to discover that you weren't just being witty, you really do have him folding a paper crane.

The image and metaphor works perfectly, but I think he doesn't realize he's also describing himself.

Your Smutdrabbles are also yum, but posting "yum" after three in a row would've been silly. :D

Thank you! I was starting to think the lack of comments was a sign that I've been doing entirely too much origami and no one cared about my paperfolding!Baralai. xD

Baralai's crane would so look nicer than mine. xD
