Re: Wrong icon.

I agree with you. I tried to read a few fics for it, tried to see why people like it since I try not to hate any pairings and have shipped sadomasochistic couples before Knives and Legato in Trigun for the win, but they didn't even come across as a somewhat willing s/m couple, or even as the tragic "slave can't leave" thing. They just came across as "powerful man taking out his frustrations on helpless woman" and "ugh, Shera, you're a freaking rocket scientist, you don't need him, he doesn't need you, JUST FUCKING WALK OUT."

I really really love Cid/Shera, but I have NEVER been able to stomach the crazy abusive!Cid/submissive!Shera thing. Yes, she followed him in FFVII and served him, but that's because SHE felt the obligation to help him, after she ruined his dream. Cid wanted her GONE, I don't think he was too keen on seeing her, let alone playing top to her.

I just don't think they're a sadomasochistic couple at all. I don't think they so much as kissed during that "I hate your guts, Shera" phase.

I ship post-FFVII Cid/Shera because of them fixing their relationship. And they obviously did, to get married in DOC, but I mean, damn. He must have felt like a guilty, HORRIBLE asshole after the truth came out - sure, Cid's rough around the edges, but he isn't a jerk by default to people. I DEFINITELY wouldn't call him abusive.

Most Cid/Shera is just tripe.
