Holy fuck! I've stayed up the entire night reading, absolutely enthralled with your story. It deserves chapter by chapter rave-reviewing but damn, I'm almost incoherent (thanks to the what I'm considering a lethal combination of your sheer awesomeness and sleep-deprivation). So this is going to be a big fan-girly squee and a tag for future rereading.
So I just wanted to say wow. I? Am in love. At this moment the only thing I'm disappointed with is that it ends. The way you've woven the story is brilliant. Planet-sentence and self preservation instinct and Cloud whumping. And... well, gods- if I wasn't in the middle of moving (and at the end of spring brake) I think I'd forgo the next six hours of sleep and reintroduce myself to VII just to bask in post collateral bliss of your story.
Your characters will forever be how I picture them. And that whole Planet saved, but they're doomed by a Plague thing? Yeah. Totally my VII canon now. I've never come across Sephiroth/Cloud (and I'm not entirely sure why, because I'm somewhat predisposed to seeing slash-y relationships for the sheer novelty and sexy angst) but damn, that too is now my personal VII canon.
I think my favorite one liner (at the moment and subject to change upon second-third-fortieth readings) would have to be Angeal’s narrative thought: of course Sephiroth would have Strife as an angel. It packed just about every emotion I’ve been feeling since the prologue. Elation, horror, grief, humor, weary acceptance, inevitability and hopefulness and pain. And well, I’ve laughed and there were tears and I’ve been an emotional mess watching your story unfold. You’ve brought these characters to life!
"Eir's Tomorrow" will forever be where these characters are headed.
You are a rocking bard and I look forward to your next chapter!
