And I quote:
"..Just bring everything. While you’re there, check the automatic feeder for my goldfish."

It is a severe understatement to say that I laughed. I think I may have even cocked my head to one side and did the total Tim Allen Home Improvement thing.

I'm not even going to try and spell it out. I'm just going to hope you know what I'm talking about.

You just get deeper and deeper with all these scientific terms and high-end brain-prattling. Sheer craziness, woman... pretty little head with brains, indeed - and I mean you. It's good stuff, though. Interesting. The best part is that it remains enjoyable. I can't count how many fics I've read where the author will go off on ultra-intellectual tangents until they've morphed into freakin' escapades from which there is no hope of return. Sure it's all goodies on the sandwich, but there is such a thing as having too much to swallow.

You're good at balancing. I'm appreciative. You know this. Moving on.

FIVE FREAKIN' DAYS!??!? FIIIIVE?????

FUCKING-A, LOU!! CHRIST-ON-A-STICK! WHAT AM I S'POSED TO DO WITHOUT MAH CRACK-MOMMA!?!??

I shall sigh obnoxiously until your return from le pooch parade. Hmph.

Moving Thang is still going on. It wont be done 'til the end of the month. I'm sure to hang myself before then. It'll all be over before anyone knows it. Sweet of you to ask, though, Thank You.

Pipe's callin'. You hurry on back now, y'hurr? Safe travels to you.

This story is stunning, nothing less. Excellent narrative, insightful POVs, character reaction and growth and change to an underlying interesting plot, even minor cultural details that add to the depth of the social fabric. Opium dens? A priceless perfume? A home-brewed sleeping draught? There's something of an Old World decadence in all that. In addition you've managed the bloody impossible in making me actually sympathize with Hojo. I'm grateful and awed that you manage such a quick update rate because this truly is a pleasure to look forward to.

hunewearl, thank you!

I couldn't resist developing Hojo. He's the scientific mafia boss of Shin-Ra, influencing all the major characters in Final Fantasy 7. I don't know how much development I'll give others, but you can look for in-depth development of Sephy, Aerith and Hojo. As always, thank you for reading and reviewing!



Ardwynna Morrigu, thank you for reading and reviewing!

I'm glad you are enjoying my fic. This was a story I wanted to write so I could explore people who get treated as two-dimensional plot impetus. Sephiroth is the bad guy and we never see how he got to be that way. We see him as the mad man who slaughters all and I want more. And Aerith is treated like a goody-goody with no depth. Hojo, the reason for all the misery, the background Moriarity, is even less fleshed out than the previous two characters. He intrigues me. So, thanks for taking the time to tell me what you think. I use my reviews as inspiration to keep writing!

Weeeeeeee!!!!! GRAN'-BABIES!

Ahem.... Yet another glorious round! God I love all this Sephiroth/Hojo/Aerith interaction. They are entirely too interesting together. Just the right combination of danger, hilarity, and mush - You always manage to tug internally on something without laying it on too thick; I appreciate that (and admire it even more).

AND HOJO LIIIIIVES!! HE LIIIIIIVVVES!!! YES!

Oh man, and FINALLY, a hot scene between Sephiroth and Aerith! I don't care if they still had their clothes on, you've built this puppy up to the point where anything remotely dirty makes me start fanning my neck. I love it! It makes the whole thing that much more sweet - although I'm sure you're already aware of that, as it's no doubt entirely intentional.

You know I've got to hand it to you anyway.

Thanks for the updates,
Savannah.

Who is the biggest cocktease in this chapter? Seph, Aeris, or Hojo? BWA! The world may never know!

It's also fun to think that Sephy has super sperm. Might as freakin' well.

Wow! This chapter showed so much character depth, most people probably would have left hojo as a flat, static character, but you've made him dynamic and layered (lol, like shrek!). Props for that, please keep on writing! I cant wait to see how all the other characters continue to develop!

sephcounttheways, no, it wasn't Vincent. Intrigue afoot!
hunewearl, thanks. I won't make you wait too long for the cliffie resolution, I swear.

Ahhhh!! nuuuuuuuuu! Hojo!
I am severely upset. Call Aerith! She must heal him! I cannot live without Hojo!
I have no real idea who dunnit... though I seriously doubt Valentine. Whoever put out the apartment cameras, I imagine. Damn! Who is it!? That new wackjob scientist? Oh man I hope not.
(Grrrooaaan)
We wait!

I wouldn't make you live without Hojo, Savannah. I like him too. He's the reason for every sin in Shin-Ra, basically. That new wackjob scientist has nothing on our resident mad scientist. And now you know who put the cameras out. Hope you enjoy!

sephcounttheways, thank you very much. I really enjoyed writing this last chapter. As practical as Aerith seems to be, it just seemed right that she would have no issue with her corpse. She's in touch with the dead anyway...

Cannibal and Jamie (Savannah), thanks! Like I said, I can imagine Aerith wouldn't be too impressed with herself. But Sephiroth's newly aquired guilt would have to flare up on seeing his handiwork. I just like to torture him. Having a conscience sucks, and it's about time he learned that; he's way overdue.

Hope you both enjoy this next installment of No-Morals-Theatre!
