[Final Fantasy VII] "Herder in the Night" Myth and Folklore: Theme 44. fairy tales
Title: Herder in the night
Author: elanor_pam
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Pairing: None
Rating: T
Warnings: Much whipping and character death... but he gets better.
Theme: 44 - Fairy Tales
Notes: Based on a popular brazilian folk tale about a young black slave who took care of the horses of an asshole master. I tried to keep most elements of the tale intact, only doing the transposition of characters as they seemed to fit in my warped little mind (like Virgin Mary = Ifalna). I also tried to maintain the relative "anonimity" of the characters, who are never named in the original (not even the main character); I had to name Cloud, though, because I had to set the pattern somewhere... and Bugenhagen because it's just impossible to figure it's him otherwise. I figure the other characters will be obvious to the readers by context and the setting itself, but if not, do tell! I'm not completely against editing a finished fic, even though it's my policy not to tinker if they've cooled off for too long, no matter how bad they seem in hindsight.
