Oh. My. God.

I could talk about the feel - desperate, emotional, gut-wrenching. Or the pacing - the reader's sense that time is slipping away and everything happening at once, building to the foregone conclusion that Basch and Noah are trading lives for a longer time than they might be able to bear. I could talk about characterization - spot-on perfect, each character with a distinctive voice that makes this a full-on immersive experience. Or the plotting - exciting and intricate and all the fraught details accounted for.

But really, I am without words. I love this. Thank you so much for posting, and I'm chained to the computer until I read the rest!

Wow um! Thank you so much! I was very nervous about this whole story, because of the new fandom, and just how convoluted XII canon is without me meddling to make it worse, and I'd never tried something this complicated before, even in my home fandoms. I really, really appreciate your feedback on this!

Anyway, um! Just. Thank you so much. I was nervous especially about my grasp on the characters/voices and mood here, so hearing back about that is so awesome =D

HOLY SHIT IRA YOU ARE AMAZING. I HAVEN'T EVEN READ IT YET BUT YOU ARE SO 100% RAD THERE ARE NO WORDS. I'LL BE BACK IN A FEW HOURS TO TELL YOU HOW I REALLY FEEL.

I am going to cry because I haven't finished the game and don't want to spoil myself which means I can't read it because I don't know who all these people ARE but oh dear GOD your opening paragraph is lovely. Totally tactile visceral experience. <3

[justira]

Wow uh! XD

I am so flattered that you liked just the first paragraph enough to comment! XD

Although, uh, if you haven't finished the game then, yeah, I would warn you far, far away from this story because it has spoilers coming out its pores. However, it's also not going anywhere anytime soon, so whenever you finish the game, feel free to read!

Out of curiousity, how far into the game are you?

Also, um, ps, seriously, your mini-doujin is so awesome >.>

I'm a horrible game player... 8 is just about the only one I've actually *finished*. On 12... lessee... I've gotten the entire party together and defeated the first judge and I was going to go level for awhile and ran into a wall of the side quests kicking me to the curb. x_x I got tired of everyone dying and wandered away to play non-fatal things. =P I'd probably have to start over at this point.

heeee! Thank you so much. ^_^ You're really making me want to do more with it.

FF12 is actually, I think, one of those games where it's really easy to get (figuratively) lost, forget what you're supposed to be doing, and lose track of the plot. I'm not sure why, but my personal theory includes the seamless battles -- in all other FF games, when you went on a levelling spree or where just going from one place to another, there would be a battle transition (screen change, music, etc), battle, victory music, and then you kind of go "well that's over, now what was I doing?" So it's like you'd remind yourself of what you were supposed to be doing after every battle, whereas in FF12 you an just kind of run around and get lost in killing things.

And also there is the fact that FF12's storyline gets kind of too epic for its own good >.>

But then I myself am terrible at finishing games so maybe I just have a short attention span XD

As for your doujin -- judging by the comments on it, I'm sure I speak for many, many folks when I say: YES PLEASE.

Erhmm...
This is a very well written and different story.
I'm never seen this pairing at all.
It sucks so much I got into the ff12 fandom 5 years too late....
