I figure he has to be somewhat eloquent if he doesn't have the party creeping out about Rachel.

"And here is my girlfriend! Isn't she pretty! Look how nice she looks in her dress!"

I mean, I'd hit that.

I take back what I said about fanfiction not being a good practice. I think this is amazing. Your voice is great.

Well, if it's fun it's a good practice I think, also. Just for being enjoyable. But I'm glad you read this and liked it.

Yeah, I don't go looking for fic much either, it's hard to find good stuff for fandoms I like. BUT YAY, you liked it :D *is so pleased*

::flails:: OH MY GOD, SO GOOD. And here I had almost lost faith in the fandom. Best VI fic I've read in a very long while. MOAR PLZ, Y/Y?

I love your writing style, both in syntax and disjointed format - fragmented, but only reveals what you need to and paints an excellent portrait of his character without bogging it down with unnecessary details.

The truth was he had prayed with those strange sunlight stones till he could hear their voices ringing in his ears, so that the magic never really left him. He grabbed Bethany and started the strongest poetry he knew, or didn't: the words came from some place not his own, touching everywhere around with gold, gilding the lily of everything.
Bethany breathed in.

This is one of, if not the best description of magic I've ever seen. You seriously have a way with words and don't give yourself nearly enough credit in terms of writing talent.

As for the character of Bethany, well, this line sealed it for me: "When I grow up I wanna be a highwayman. I shall live in a tent and ride a chocobo, and ( ... )

FFFFFFF I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKED THIS. I would really really hate to disappoint you, I was thinking MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE MORE LOCKE and I know you've got your own ideas about his canon and backstory, &c &c. I mean this is my FOREVER FANDOM so there'll definitely be more eventually. :)

I like to pretend the fragmented stuff is on purpose because of the post-apocalyptic setting, or, uh, something. Really I just hate (writing) transitions?? When laziness and suitability collide!! I think it's a mistake to overdescribe canon characters, both because everyone already knows what they look like and because everyone has their own idea of what they look like. I was talking with lassarina about that recently, and it kind of made me think of LOCKE'S SLEEVELESS DENIM VEST, IN THE SNOW ( ... )
