so many things.
1) this fic is so damn epic
It combines every incarnation of VII to date - the original, advent children, crisis core... and it does it so freaking well. There are two types of fics I'm drawn to: AUs, and seriously canon compliant. This fic is the latter, and it blows everything ever out of the water. the amount of detail, the sheer awesomeness of all the fight scenes, the plot - the plot. Time travel.
sinnatious doesn't take shortcuts. She doesn't gloss over any details. She goes the hard yards and never cops out. She juggles so many narrative threads and so many character voices, it's unbelievable. Maybe this won't be the fic for you, because there's no romance -- but I urge you not to pass up reading this. She uses ff7 knowledge to create similes. similies. This is without a doubt, the most fulfilling, in character time travel fic I've ever had the pleasure of reading, and the best ff7 fic, hands down.
There are so many things that aren't up to my usual standards, but it's out there now, and I hope you all enjoy it anyway, despite it's shortcomings, especially you
