Just found this fic, and I read it all in one go! I don't often like FFVII/FFVIII cross overs, but I really like this one. I like the characterizations. I like Squall's interactions with Shiva, and I like Cloud's combination of three-in-one. Your pacing's also great, giving just enough back story and action to keep things interesting without ever bogging the plot down. Really well written!
