His buster sword with Zack is definitely the Fat Chocobo in the room.
I like your little nod to the fact that Kunsei is rather bizarrely well informed in the game. It's both hilarious and fitting. It's also sad since I've never played Crisis Core and only know it through cut scenes and fanfic. (I have no life and no money.)

He completely is! I mean, he sends you mail like this:
"You got an assignment in Banora, right? How is the place? I hear there are a lot of Shinra people there. Apparently, the village's main source of income is the production and processing of apples. The rest of their budget is made up of subsidies from Shinra. Now, why would Shinra care about such a tiny village? Could it have something to do with mako? Or... There's gotta be something fishy going on there. I'm gonna look into it.'
IF ZACK GOT A MISSION TO BANORA SOONER MAYBE CRISIS CORE WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. Because Kunsel would have got curious and uncovered the whole thing before it all went to hell. :|
And he even knows what Hollander's favourite T-shirt is! And then links that to the conspiracyOh man *has PSP on and is re-reading all the mail again* "You're hanging out with that Aerith girl again, aren't you? I bet you're wondering how I got that information. See, I know ( ... )

Well go ahead and use it if you like.
The only thing to consider is how serious you want that line to seem, 'behmoth' keeps things relatively grounded but 'fat chocobo' might makes things more light hearted.

I'm so frustrated at them, but I guess I can't really be. We know everything already, and they don't, and it's hard to figure things out like that when you only know specific parts. *sighs*
And, yes, Cloud, you should have broken his neck when you had the chance. That will probably come back to haunt you.
Is Kunsel going to meet Chibi!Cloud? I hope so. Maybe that will help. But then if Cloud is being kept in the basement there, and Kunsel finds out, then he'll be like Zack and locked up and experimented on.
And where the hell is Vincent?
Wonderful chapter, but I want more! T_T

All speculation! We shall see. :D

And yes, I should have said something stronger than just 'probably'. Of course that will come back to bight him in the ass. Most likely more than once and in the most painful ways...

I am both pleased and highly amused that Seph enjoyed the "dream" of nearly killing Hojo, heh. x3 And they're finally seeing the connections! Dear god, the slash really DOES write itself, mwahaha. /loving it Though we still have overall logical conclusions not quite accurate to time travel, lol. x3
/wants to say more, but refrains to avoid spoilery babbling

In retrospect, I kind of wish I'd spent more time following up on their incorrect hypotheses, since that could have been hilarious.

...Oh goodness, that would be delightful. XD I can just imagine everyone mulling over "...well I guess this and this and this is why this theory and that the- oh Goddess we are all morons" /highly amused by this thought process

On the other hand, I was having such a good time reading about Cloud at Shinra interacting with everyone there and kind of becoming bros with Sephiroth and Genesis and Angeal and Zack and Kunsel. I wish we'd gotten more of that, post destruction of Jenova.
