The whole thing is just lovely, particularly the fact that you never did describe Sephiroth's dragonlike appearance. I wish I could give concrit or a more detailed review, but really, I'm not sure what to else to say.
^_______^ Thank you! I'm working on part 3 today - not sure if I'll have it finished by tonight or not, but here's hoping - and I'm actually not sure if we get to see dragonSeph in that one or not. We get to see the human facade dragonSeph puts into Cloud's mind (along with quite a lot of other things designed to get his sacrifice to stop damaging itself trying to escape), but the dragonshape itself... still not sure.
(nodnodnod) poor Angeal - the whole time I was writing 2, I was trying pretty hard not to turn him into a martyr, but he just kept giving me the basset hound eyes and going 'no it's all right, I don't mind, this is what I'm made for really' and... *headdesk.* I mean, even up to the point where they were leaving for the mountain I thought he was definitely going to live, because he'd promised Cloud he'd take care of his mom, except that Angeal followed him into the cave instead of dropping him off and then he wouldn't shut up and quit while he was ahead and.... sheesh. I might have a way to salvage him in 3 but I still don't know if he's going to LET me.
...Now we know where Zack got his martyr complex from, I think. XD
Yeah, I don't think he intended to be a martyr, but given how much having an effectively comatose boy to try to escape with must've slowed him down -- he'd been through enough combat that he couldn't have been unaware of the possibility that trying to save Cloud might get him killed, but he tried so hard anyway, without hesitating over the cost. And he was so happy to be a hero when he died for Cloud -- he's got some kind of martyr thing going there, even if it wasn't conscious until that scene on the cliff. *wibbles*
...I could answer that question, but it'd involve spoilers? XD I'll try to write fast.
I'm so sorely tempted to shift this account to a plus account just because 6 icons is kind of auugh-inducing after having been at IJ, but I don't want to give this place actual cash when I feel like fandom's still living on borrowed time here... if they'd just tell us 'yes we're safe and we're going to stay that way,' I'd happily change my stance on that, but in the absence of any assurance from the New Russian Overlords that they're

W-wow. This is. Very interesting. It's been a while since I've read any of your FFVII fics and this one reminded me of why I should keep an eye on your writing.
Thank you! ^___^ I'm hoping to get part 3 finished this month - I'd originally been hoping for today, but writing headtripping!Cloud takes longer than I thought to make him incoherent enough to be believable but coherent enough to follow...
Thank you! ^____^ I'm hoping to get done with 3 soon. Yeah, Angeal was totally born to be a knight in shining armor, wasn't he? Honor, pride, dreams, yap yap yap blah blah blah, says chibiGenesis in my head, to which I respond 'like you're any better with Loveless' and he starts squawking and protesting the difference between Great Art and trite truisms and is about to end up with chibi duct tape over his squawkbox. XD
I've just recently found your fics, and I must say that I love your work so much. Especially this one. You took something that might normally seem weird and turned it into something that fits so perfectly.
I love your DragonSephiroth so much! Especially his personality and possessiveness. Can't wait for the rest!
Thank you! I've, er, kind of got a history of taking things that seem weird and then running with them, and running and running and (did I mention the tentacles and the mpreg? XD Not in the same fic, not yet, but I'm sure it's a matter of time... *cough* anyway.)
DragonSephiroth is preening in my head, rumbling something about 'of course she approves; I'm a dragon, after all. I'm made to be perfect.' (I haven't bothered trying to introduce him to the concept of modesty, due to my awareness of my own mortality... heh.)

You sure you couldn't get Angeal saved by a red-dragon dues ex machina?
