"Grow up."
I re-read that three or four times. It's just so cute! On to the next chapter! Who!Neechi (1st August, 2004 @ 12:00 am)
I don't have anything intelligent to say, so I'm going to give you a big red balloon and a Squall plushie instead. -hands them to you-

Yaii! 
The game is dandy. Neechi (1st August, 2004 @ 12:00 am)
I'm going to have to re-read this chapter. I kept having to re-imagine Seifer with long hair.
I don't think it works.

He grows on you, is right. My friend, Pk, has been rambling on for at least a year about how grand and dandy Final Fantasy 8 is. I paid attention, but she never bothered to introduce me to the game. So I look at fanfiction. Just randomly pick one. It's a SeiferxSquall, and I just put up with it because Squall's dandy.
But then it happened. Seifer's like ivy on a wall. He just won't go away, now will he?Kylie (18th July, 2004 @ 12:00 am)
This is one of the best FFVI stories I have read! You actually keep them in character whilst getting across the relationships. The flashbacks to when they were kids are really cute, I love Seifer and Squall's dream interactions. The way you explained Seifer siding with sorceress is very good too, it actually makes sense of something which the game didn't really seem to explain and didn't make much sense. I adore this story and really, really hope you continue it.

Okay. Eleven chapters and only 32 reviews? This doesn't add up. Especially when you throw in a -plot- of all things (plot? I thought that was a myth!) well written and on-track characters, a wonderful mixture of violence and sex, a perfectly drool worthy take on Seifer and Squall's relationship, feasible situations when the kids were younger, an Ultimecia I immediately identify with (of all the characters to identify with... why her...? I will never get myself.) and above all, no real noticeable grammar mistakes or nutsoid sentence structures that I'm sure are illegal. Now, I ask, why only 32 reviews? Ooh! Ooh! I know! For all the above reasons. Plus one more - your story does -not- involve Squall and Seifer being incredibly lovey dovey and tender and thoughtful and sickening. It seems that this type of behavior is trendy.
You couldn't possibly comprehend how goddamn excited I was when I read your introduction. Yeah, that's right, I read the entire damn thing and I was fairly ** bouncing in my seat. Damn, that thing was entertaining... oh, anyway - I got done with the intro, and moved on and low and behold, you failed to disappoint. Or maybe you did disappoint. I was expecting to -be- disappointed, and I was a little put out when this, in fact, did not happen. This story makes me happy. I really can't elaborate on this 'happy' feeling, though, since 'happy' seems to be very pale in comparison to what it should be, which is more of a long stream of cuss words delivered in a highly excited fashion. Why, yes, something like that.
Anyway. Squall - I've read so many damn things where his character was degraded into someone closed off from other people only because he wanted someone to hold him and coddle him. Really, these people only use him as a sex toy to write and get other people to form strange cult-like groups devoted to perverted talk. Not that I'm saying that I'm not perverted (I'm perverted, but in a much more psycho violent way, I suppose...) but it gets sad when there's a chat room full of people talking about nothing but ways to get the poor guy into 'bed' (sometimes the situations have nothing to do with beds...) with various other character. But in here, he is exactly as you describe him. Something alien and dangerous and, in my opinion, perfectly him. Although considering he amused me to no goddamn end during the end, this sort of clashes with the in-game him, which seemed much more whiny. Thus why he was funny. So kill me. Anyway, I like how he's submissive but violent, but not girly-nervous (like unsure) and definitely -not- going on about "Why does Seifer like me? Why does everyone abandon me!? WHY IS IT THAT I FEEL THAT IF I HAD A VOICE, IT WOULD BE HIGH PITCHED AND WHINY?" Don't get me wrong, I love Squall. He's defective.
Seifer - Good god, how many times has he been left 'broken and sad and, please hold me and kiss me and tell me everything's going to be okay and I think I'm going to go tell Squall I love him now and spout really romantic stuff about always loving him and gazing into his deep, sappy eyes that I always wanted to wake up to because I love him so much blah blah blah...' It's pathetic, really. I never really much cared for his character, except when he did weird things like scream to Squall about his romantic dream, or call Squall Puberty Boy. I mean, he wasn't there much. Just there whenever people needed to be reminded that some guy from Garden was trying to help this weird Sorceress in her plot to destroy the world. And he really isn't attractive. Ah, but his doujinshi versions are nice. Well, I like what you've done with him. You made him even weirder, in my opinion. Well, I'd call it normal, but people seem to think that what I perceive as normal is just ** insane. >> Hey, my ** opinion, nitwit, get over it and die. Ah, anyway. You don't make Seifer out to be incredibly touchy feely or inflicted with a bleeding heart over Squall. I see in the relationship you created something more of a bond that doesn't need to be brought into light and questioned, simply because it's -there- and who cares? It's almost like he has a childlike ignorance of other people's workings. Towards Squall, anyway - they're from their own goddamn dimension.
As for Rinoa. I like Rinoa. I cried when I thought she was going to die, but I found it funny as hell when I read about Irvine trying to kill her in "A Sharpshooter Never Fails Twice" by... uh, I forget. I read it a few times, and it's just plain funny. When the Squall/Seifer stuff came in, it only got funnier because I got the distinct impression it was -supposed- to be tactless. But, anyway, I even like your Rinoa. For some reason, though, I don't like your Quistis. Not that I'm saying you did a bad job, I just... dislike her. In the game, she was fun. Hey, she was pretty and she had a whip... what more could I want? A more dominatrix-like outfit and Squall in drag, maybe.
Ah... This is pretty long. Oh well. Since I'm only reviewing the eleventh chapter, I think it's a good thing to make a long one. I prefer getting longer thoughtful reviews as opposed to the multitudes of "Yay! Really really good, keep writing!"
Well, anyway. I'm not saying you should keep writing or that I'll be the first to review the next chapter if it comes, because I'm rather eccentric with the net... but if you do write one, I'll read the **. I understand when you say you have no idea where to take the Ultemecia scene, and like a good little reviewer, I will only commiserate and not even try to lift a helping hand in anyway. With this much potential, if I gave any ideas and you took them, you'd most likely be ** over with a filing cabinet. **, if this had been my project... hell, I wouldn't have been able to get past the first two, three chapters, maybe. I'm rather notoriously mindless.
Good luck on that law student thing...

o more! this fic is really great! more sxs!~~!

My god, I'm glad you're finally continuing this. It's a wonderful play with the FFVI characters - one of the most interesting fics I've ever read, and also one of the first, curiously enough. It's funny, it's believable, and most of all it reminds me of what a wonderful pairing squeifer is when it doesn't get mangled and bastardised. Not a speck of fluff in sight. And more; this is one of the ones that leaves a real impression, deep down in my skull. I salute you and I hope you don't leave me hanging this long again.

(“But you don’t have to be such a ** about it. And my mind might be a ** ‘sieve’, but at least I don’t try to defeat all-powerful Sorceresses with bracelets.
