No problem about the account-bouncing, and in that case, I'll add that the other reason I got off my butt to post was seeing that you thought nobody would take you up on the prompt--- I was like, "Noooo, must encourage the Yuffie/Cloud!"
And you are SPOT ON about the growth potential--- one of the reason I like them together is, paradoxically, how much I hate Cloud in canon, lol, and I think of Yuffie as someone with enough drive--- not just ego, but the way her sense of Wutaian pride and pride in herself are entwined down to the core of her--- not to be sucked into the vortex of Cloud's, um, issues. (I think of his ego as a soap bubble full of poison: large, fragile, and spilling damage everywhere when it pops.) And for Cloud to be drawn into Yuffie's quest to restore the glory of Wutai, to be a hero for her throne, rather than having his urge to be the hero focused on his own desires for personal glory... yeah. Basically the only reason I haven't written more of them is how little I like him--- generally, I have to like both halves of a pairing in order to write them. But if you want to throw prompts about them at me, I can probably bat some ficlets back over the net, lol!
