They wouldn't be friends, but he could handle being co-workers./.../Co-workers. Never friends. Never in a million years. Yah, Cloud, keep on deluding yourself, you big softy.

A certain spiky-haired blond waited across the way, arms folded and apparently doing his anti-social best to secede that little corner of space from the rest of the world. - This I can see, this I can almost taste, it's so Cloud.

Yes GenGen, even the hero might need saving, and you're the man to do it!

This itches as much as the overt cliffhanger in the last chapter, but in a more understated way. It's not obvious, but it's like there's an itching under my skin. I want to know what happens next, and I want to know now.

Or, whenever you're ready. Rushed work is not always your best. : pointed look at the 5th HP book...:

Also, you have no idea how loudly I squealed when you said that you were Australian. I feel this shared nationality has added another layer to our writer-reviewer bond. Or, you know, whatever.

Also, you have really nice fans. Sweethearts, one and all~.

Also, I like the psychoanalysing in this chapter. It gives another perspective, and it tickles at me.

Finally, I totally haven't staked out this site since about 5 o'clock, and no one can prove that I have.

Haven't, that is.

:coughs:

Aha, that explains why you are so prompt in replying to comments and entries! Same timezone ftw. :D

You guys are an amazing bunch of readers! <3 The threads on the last couple of chapters have been fantastic. *__*

Why, thank you.

*joins in on the coughing*

Ah, that's comforting to hear - because I totally did not update this page every tenth minute.

Didn't, that is.

Throw in Zack as well, and we have the makings of the BEST LOVE TRIANGLE EVER, right? :D I don't even know why I'm sticking to the gen guns anymore, really.

Angeal would make a totally great dad! Complete with all the dad-type jokes. He really had such a lousy ending in CC. :(

Thank you~

D: I never considered it like that before, but you're right! Unless you do the threesome/foursome cop out, always someone will have an unhappy ending! This explains why I found Fruits Basket so unsatisfying. :|

That, and Cloud really wanted to kill him. Apparently three times was not revenge enough.

That made me laugh the most, it might not be much but thank you for posting today as habitual. Where I live, today is a holiday but I’m still forced to work and I didn’t start the day well; this chapter cheer me up very much.

I’m glad to finally know what’s Angeal’s thoughts on Cloud, I have been wondering about it ever since he went with the blond to his first mission and also when he had entered Cloud’s room because change of plans- now I know, amusing and interesting, depressing as well.

I love how you wrote Genesis thoughts on the subject and what he more or less concluded…
Where was the meaning, the goal Cloud was working towards?

It was the missing link, the key to the mystery, he felt sure of it. But in the same breath, Genesis was not so sure he would like the answer.

Sorry to hear about your day! :( Happy this helped a bit.

It has been a while since we saw any Angeal focus on Cloud, hasn't it? Well, lots more from now on. :D

This was the Sephiroth who rolled his eyes at Loveless quotes, who spent half his day doing paperwork, who left Masamune on the other side of the room when in the company of friends.
> YES CLOUD, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. As a matter of fact, this is also the Sephiroth that you actually don't have to kill if you manage to route out where Jenova and Hojo are and destroy them before they drive Seph crazy and make him destroy the world. Which is what you are planning on doing. Which means, you know, you can actually be friends with him after finishing that task. lol why the rage myself?

ahsdhsa I detect SephCloud and GenCloud, squeee. I can't choose which one I like better.threesome then? XD

Cloud Strife Eau de Toilette? Awesome! I wonder what Cloud smells like. It's funny how the "unisex perfume" part was quoted. Maybe they just made it unisex so fangirls would have more reasons to buy them? Haha ( ... )

Oh man I so love you. And I agree, and I agree, and I laughed, and I laughed harder and freaked out my mother's friends.

You are some kind of marketing GENIUS. :D I'll buy ten!

LOL, so vehement on Sephiroth's behalf.
