this fic is wonderful~ I'm in love~

aww, Seph <3 he just wants a friend (and probably a hug) I think that's going to make Cloud very nervous and confused when he realizes that.

I can't wait for the next chapter! X3

Oh wow, I just discovered this story via Lizeth on DA- I absolutely love the time travel sub genre of FFVII and I'm so glad to see another writer doing such a good job

[sinnatious]

Another time-travel lover! Welcome!

*Takes notes* Got it. ^_^ But seriously, most everything is already plotted out. Should be able to take care of most of those points though. ;)

By all means, go right ahead. It's only really creepy when you get those journals that friend you despite having completely unrelated interests. ^_^

[fateofshadow]

*Rubs hands together gleefully* I can hardly wait *adds you to friend list like a slightly less creepy stalking stalker who stalks* >_>

Merry giftmas! ^_^

I made myself a live journal account just for the sake of commenting and following your work. XD

This Story is AWESOME.

I found this fic from Deviant Art (Thanks to Lizeth)

I don't read much fan fics myself but yours is just... WOW.
(I stayed up til 4 am in the morning reading the whole thing XD)

I'm also glad that you regularly update, unlike the other authors I've followed before.

Keep up the good work! Can't wait for the next chapter!

(As a side note: OMG that was so sneaky of Angeal! Never expected THAT! and Zack and Kunsel are so cute :D Lol at Sephiroth's analogy of Angeal is to Zack while Genesis is to Loveless XD)

[sinnatious]

Wow, thanks! That's incredibly humbling. Welcome to LJ!

You shouldn't need to worry about regular updates - a couple of years ago I used to be quite terrible, but regular readers will attest that I keep to a schedule these days, and if there are going to be delays I'll do my best to let everyone know. ^_^ I know your pain regarding irregular updating.

Genesis treasures Loveless just that much. :P

Um… I read a few of the comments and I’m also one of those that came upon your fic by Lizeth’s recommendation and stayed up until 4:00AM just to read it all.

And I must say this is one of the few time-travel-fic I’ve enjoyed so much; the characters feel in character and their interaction are very amusing and at times blood pumping. One of my favorite chapters is the one where Cloud fights Sephiroth ( I believe it was chapter 4 or 5 ), it put me on suspense I was cheering on Cloud but I found it curious about it. Sephiroth was going to get beaten so early in the story?

I was surprised and happy to see the fight didn’t end there and how you accomplished to stop it.

I hope you don’t mind me adding you as a friend to continue follow up with your work and that you don’t lose interest in this fic. It’s really good. ^^

[sinnatious]

Hello! I don't mind at all. ^_^ And no worries about me losing interest. I've not left a posted fic unfinished yet, and have no desire to blemish that record.

To be honest, I kind of really wanted to kill Sephiroth off then! It would have been really fun to examine the ramifications of that. Maybe I'll do an alternate version as a side story one day. ^_^

[tomoehikage]

I'm intrigued by this what-if. Do you still have any desire to write it? (If you haven't already and I just haven't found it

[sinnatious]

You last sentence more or less summed up how I would have written that - Fallen Comrades, much more slowly. I don't really want to write it anymore mostly because Fallen Comrades scratched that itch for me. :)

amg, I love Sephiroth's analysis of how Cloud's name suits him. It's so bloody accurate both with what he knows of Cloud and what we as the readers know. <3

The whole scene between the SOLDIER trio is wonderful as well. I love the idea of them getting together weekly for drinks because it just fits with them (fairly sure it's part of my headcanon now, ngl).

[sinnatious]

You like the weekly drinks thing? Awesome. I just chose that because I figure they can't trash the Training Room THAT often, and it seemed like the most normal sort of routine friends whoa re also co-workers engage in (beer-o'-clock, ShinRa style?)

...I like to imagine that the whole trashing of the Training Room came about because they all got drunk, actually, but that's a ridiculous bit of head canon that doesn't exactly mesh... XD

You are making some great time on this re-read! Are you on holidays or something?

[caterfree10]

Indeed! I just, they're grown men, it just seems like it'd fit - even if it takes damn strong drinks to actually get any of them tipsy and/or drunk as an AU-ish oneshots related to this fic is any indication, hee. And with all the crap I imagine they have to do in SOLDIER and Shinra, I'd imagine they need to blow off steam in more ways than just sparring, especially if training rooms end up trashed in the process. x3

And yeah I am! Only got until Sunday though, and I'm behind on commenting again (meaning, I end up reading more instead of waiting until I comment, whoops). ^^; Didn't help that I went out with friends yesterday but I enjoyed getting out, so. x3

The next morning, Angeal remembers he was blasted in the face and is angry with Genesis for the rest of the day, Genesis sees his shoulder and thinks "damn, never again", and Sephiroth is all "...will they dock my our pay for trashing the training room?"
