This is one of the best stories i've read for my favorit FF7 pairing. I love the high level of vocabulary and the lack of any grammatical mistakes which usually distract me from the main plot of a story. The way paint the characters are so amazing! I was scared that Aerith was going to be an annoying little chit, but you've made her so much more enjoyable as a character. And sephiroth, can i swoon any more? I love your portrayal of him. Please keep the good work up!

Thank you Savannah! I put two chapters up because I won't be posting for a few days. Don't worry, I try to balance the fluff with IC violence... Thank you for reading!

Well.
SO far - I'd say Sephiroth IS having a good day.
Holy Mackerel! This last chapter slew me. I tittered and guffawed like a freaking moron.
Good times.
And HURRAY for overtly possessive/horny/barely-but-still-in-control/absofuckinglutely insane/smiley/shower wankin'/Hojo-torturin' Sephiroth!!
Wooo and Aerith wants 'im baaaad, too. RIGHT ON!
As a side note I'd like to express to you how in love with your Hojo I am:
He makes me fucking laugh. I don't care if he gets hurt, how hurt he gets, or if he even DIES so long as it's a justifiably humorous way for him to go. Hojo just really, really tickles me... his mannerisms and his dialogue - especially around Sephiroth, are PRICELESS. You've done a fine job with him. I can picture/hear everything with all of your characters, but Hojo is a (greasy, raving lunatic) GEM.
See you when you get back,
Savannah

Oooooooohh the fluff.... the FLUFF!!! GAG me with a SPOON!! hahahaha I'm just kidding.
Can't wait to see some more of those possessive qualities, eh...? eh??? (I'm elbowing you with waggling eyebrows, right now.)
Keep rockin' it Miss S.!

"...I smiled. She was so easily distracted… “Pom-ne-kah,” I answered. “Made from some seeds we brought back. It’ll make a sensualist out of you, fair warning.”

“I can see why.” She waved her hand in front of her eyes. “I see the prettiest colors.”
HAHAHA! Oh man, too cute.
I am addicted to this story of yours - I check entirely too often for your updates :)
Siiiigh.

Thank you Savannah! Vincent will have a cameo here, yes. There will be quite a few canon people showing up, actually. Look for lurking Turks... I wanted to include Aerith's POV even though her character is so difficult. She's so...good... I'm going to have to harden her, unless there are objections...? And no, no Tifa worth mentioning. I have no grasp of her whatsoever.
The heat will increase in the storyline, never fear. I just can't throw opposing people together and have them go at each other like rabbits! This isn't a strict romance either, so it has to be in proportion.
I'm very grateful you read and comment, thank you very much! On with the show.

Damn. That had me just a taaaaaad bit on edge. Stupid Sheila Shinra - don't think I could ever hate Rufus though.. he makes Asshole look So-Good. God I can't believe she hid in the OVEN... that just made me all kinds of uncomfortable. In fact, if you had had her hiding ANYWHERE else.. I don't think any of that situation would have even disturbed me - so good choice hahaha.
So what then? Rufus and Sheila snatched up Cloud and Tifa for a rummage through the gereral's home? Cloud dressed up in SWAT for a little bugging party? Also Rufus' idea? CRAZY. Sure we'll find out somewhere down the line.
Poor Aerith. I don't know, I think I'd be wary of Cloud and Tifa too.. the whole scenario was a bit off. Oh what to do!? I can see her wanting to spare the whole world of 'a burden like her' and disappearing to some desert hovel eating cacti and growing a meager garden of flowers, doing some first class impression of A.C. Emo Cloud - so maybe toughening her up just a little wont do too much harm? I don't know, YOU seem to know what you're doing, so I'll trust your thoughts on the matter.
Oh my god, and Sephiroth is going to have a COW.
And you know I just can't wait for that. hahahaaha!

If you hate Sheila now you'll really hate her later, lol. Rufus is a glorious asshole, as I call it.
If you can't stand the heat, Aerith, get out of the kitchen, lol.
LOL, desert hovel eating catci!!!
Sephy has his faults, but Aerith is changing him. Look for evidence. He can take what she dishes out.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

This chapter was truly touching. I caught myself sighing with butterflies in my chest more than just once. I love it. It's not disgustingly overboard or unbelievable. At first I balked when you suddenly switched to Aerith's point of view... didn't know if I'd like it or not - shouldn't even had bothered worrying.. it was just fine. I like knowing what that Sephiroth is doing to her insides anyway, because they are simply delicious. Mmmmm... Gimme some o' that good ol' Sephiroth lovin'. I have to wonder if your plan is to introduce Vincent to Sephiroth somewhere down the line... I noticed this is the second(?) time Aerith's mulled thoughts of him over in her head.
Booooooo Tifa.
Just sayin'.
Lovin' these frequent updates. Keep rockin' it.
Savannah.
