When I came across the now-infamous part with Max’s journal entry in RF4, I thought about HOW a visit to Selphia would have gone for him… and of course it turned completely angsty.
Honestly, it was a mix of playing Rune Factory 2 when the prompt was introduced, with Max being one of my faves from that game, plus the itch to keep writing? I’d recently completed my first fic in the Ace Attorney fandom, and had attempted to write for RF4 (which I’d been playing like a madman) but nothing was sticking so I wanted to try something new. The Potential, dude.ġ: What inspired you to write the fic this way?That’s a loaded question. And eventually, Clorica asleep against his shoulder at his desk. Arthur making excuses to go to the castle, just to say hi to her. Even if he isn’t there at the moment, she’d nap on the couches he has set up and wake up at 1 am with a blanket around her, an onigiri on the table, Arthur deep in thought in his complicated papers. You know how Clorica tells the MC how she feels safe around them, that she knows they won’t let anything bad happen to them if she dozes off? Some time after his arrival, Arthur’s office holds the same comfort.
And I think they’d be good together, Clorica’s sleepiness but still getting things done might convince Arthur it’s ok to rest, that boy Needs some sleep.
Either way, she’d fall asleep mid task, look into my eyes and tell me Arthur Wouldn’t fall in love. Ok well I think Arthur and Clorica could have some Potential, Clorica visits him, maybe delivers food from porco one time the restaurant is busy, or has to figure out some trades to get supplies for the castle.
