Title: The Seventh Circle (Work in Progress)

( Over the years he could wager he'd seen his mistress out of her clothes as often as in, shamelessly naked in front of men, women, husbands, lovers. )

Ah-ah-ah! My imagination soars from where you have left off! That's actually a great cut-off point, because it gets my filthy mind going wonderfully. :) My ultimate 'fic kink is Envy objectification, whether that means a character talking to him like he's a piece of crap (which is enough to make me swoon) or going on to rape/torture him (which takes it to a whole 'nother level of awesome), and this fic just hits that objectification love so well. *_* I mean, you have Dante basically seeing Envy as some little alchemical construct which just inconveniently has these damned feelings and needs to shut the fuck up about them, and what I think is so awesome is, I'm sure Dante actually believes she's justified. She believes she's doing what's right by Envy, and what's good in general, and so when he gives her some lip, she decides to show him what for ( ... )

I love the little detail of Greed going around in the background seducing the people who Envy is required to screw, and basically making Envy's job superfluous.

0.o While it is strangely engaging and makes you read more and more (in the car wreck sorta way, you don't wanna look but you gotta) I actually cringe in anticipation of more...but it's a good cringe? XD

This is a very strange AU. I have to agree with velvet_mace about the way Greed was used, it seems really derogatory to Envy. It's an interesting read, and I'd read more.

Finally got around to reading this. Oh, it's the little details that I truly love about your style. For example, Envy rearranging the freckles on the girl's face for his own entertainment. I don't know why that amuses me so much, but it really does. I also like how Dante wanted to make it clear that she held no responsibility for Envy's behavior because Envy is Hohenheim's "mistake," so she shows favoritism towards Greed because he is her own creation. Envy's frustration and anger at that is well portrayed.

Prostitute Envy makes me sad...but I'll be sure to read the next part of this once it's posted! You did a lovely job.

Much Love,
