Holy shit , no joke about All. That. Action.

for some irrational reason, this has me ROFLing. XD Looking back at sin's "You guys like action, right?" after having read all that makes me see the cautious tone in her a/n. :))

O_O

*Shakes you* DON'T LEAVE IT THERE, HOW COULD YOU~! *rocks self* Happy place, happy place...

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF SOMEHOW I KNEW SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN. YOU YOU YOU CLOUD YOU ANGST-BOY YOU EVEN MORE MELODRAMATIC THAN GENESIS YOU ARGHH ADKLJSAODKL

Figures. I faintly remember Technoromanticism. In which Tezuka dies. :/ And Stalking the Angel. In which something bad happens, but I can't remember what. WAIT, I SUDDENLY DO. SO THAT'S WHY THIS WHOLE SUICIDE THING SOUNDS FAMILIAR TO ME.

I kind of realized that I should've lowered my expectations of a sappy-happy ending. Queen of Tragedy, indeed. XD

But but but I'd have to say if there was something that made me crack up here it was Genesiiiis. asjkdhlasd Genesis why so awesome ♥♥♥

I do hope that when Cloud goes to the Life Stream he gets scolded by Aeris. Scolded real good. :PP aklsdjlkas and speaking of Aeris, she's also made of awesooome. I wonder how she got her powers of awesomeness back? *u*

there could also be an off-chance happy ending happening as we really don't know what will happen to Cloud's soul after he dies and shizz like that, but I'm kinda

'Your father. Kills the Planet, hurt your mother, abandoned you.'

This sentence has me confuzzled.

And I just have to add that this
'A cruel parody of the scene of Aeris’s murder. '

tore at me so much. I've just witnessed that scene on FFVII, so askdjasdkldf. woe woe woe.

OH WAIT SHINRA IS CLOUD'S FATHER I REMEMBER NOW-- *facepalms*

I'm racking up way too many comments. :))

[sinnatious]

The suicide things sounds familiar to you because I spent half a chapter with Tseng giving Cloud 'counselling' on it! XD Oh god, I'm never escaping Technoromanticism and Stalking the Angel, am I? I should never have written two tragedies back-to-back. (Although the latter was only half my fault!)

Cloud has earned the right to be emo here, I think.

I do not get tired of the Genesis facepalm emotion. Ever.

When the scent of flowers was mentioned, my first thought was 'Did Aeris just come out of nowhere and fix everything?' And YES, YES SHE DID. :D

I love that you brought Cloud's parentage up at just the right moment (you did say he was one of President Shinra's kids, right? I wasn't imagining that?) and that while Cloud was standing there grappling his issues and all the readers were waiting for his big moment of realization, Sephiroth just kind of nudged him to the side so he could get rid of Jenovah. It didn't work, of course, but he gets points for his problem-solving skills.

And then Genesis showed up and saved everyone in like ten seconds. :D That should take care of his lingering hero complex.

...And then DAMMIT CLOUD YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY YOUR FRIENDS AND JUST HELPED SAVE THE WORLD, NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR THAT SELF-DESTRUCTIVE THING TSENG TALKED TO YOU ABOUT TO POP UP AGAIN. We've been over this; suicide is a bad idea!

I mean, god. /personally offended by Cloud's issues

[sinnatious]

Aeris has alllll the cheat codes. :D

You are not imagining that, Cloud recently found out through Hojo of his ShinRa relation. Although I love your choice of wording. I have a fun mental image of Sephiroth kind of elbowing Cloud to the side while he's in the middle of a breakdown. XD Your comment amuses me greatly.

O_________O

That has to be the mother of all cliffhangers of this fic >______<

and the ACTION!!! WHOAAA!!!

I don't think I can survive more than a week without the next chapter. NUUU!!!

I'm gonna warn my sister (who is also following ur fic) to not read this chapter yet and wait til u update the last one so that she won't suffer as much as I am right now XD

[sinnatious]

I am pretty proud of this cliffhanger, yes! :D But at least it's the last one, right?

You saint. If it were me, I'd totally share the suffering. ;)
