Heeee, I keep up with your fics because they're so awesome in so many ways, but this just takes the cake. ♥

Love the way you handle the characters, and how you detail the fight scenes that readers can actually imagine them! ;w;b Your Genesis-Sephiroth-Cloud scene? And Yuffie? It just made me laugh and laugh. Can't wait to see you introduce the other characters and I can't wait to see you update! And that it's gen, or planning to be gen for now, anyway. :Db

Strange how this fic has been drawing out newer faces. Thank you! ♥

Next chapter should be up on Sunday.

Yay, Sephiroth battle that ends in a stalemate! I like that there is no slash so far and you added Yuffie! She's so cute and nonthreatening... Time travel fics are so addicting, especially since I'm kinda learning the canon along with it. Please keep up the good work! Are you planning on adding this to fanfiction.net?

[sinnatious]

They are addicting, aren't they? I go on benders of them regularly. ^_^ Must be a brain-bending way to learn canon though.

It will probably go up on fanfiction.net sooner or later - most of my multi-chapter fics wind up there eventually.

One thing I hate about fight scenes in fiction...I *can't* follow them at all. They're either too vague, or too detailed for me. This chap's fight scene? Made of awesomesauce. I actually paused while reading a paragraph, just to imagine what it would look like Advent Children-style.
Genesis being the mature pacifying presence while maintaining his diva-hood and Yuffie being Yuffie are all made of win too.

There are a lot of things I love about this chapter, most of all the Sephiroth versus Cloud fight and Yuffie's appearance. My favorite thing about the fight is how seamlessly the materia is brought in, something a lot of authors either are clunky at or ignore altogether (one author claimed materia was too unrealistic as an excuse for not using it!), but you have it work very well. TBH, if FFVII were a movie or TV series instead of mostly video games (barring Advent Children ofc), I could see the fights being a similar style to how you've written them (it really is a shame we don't see too much materia use in Advent Children *sigh*).

And Yuffie is adorable as all hell as usual. x3 She's not my favorite, but I still love her to pieces and bitty!Yuffie is no exception. Zack may have gotten her antics in Crisis Core, but it's Cloud's turn now~ *cackles*
