Another trope meme prompt that grew rampantly out of comment-length. More FF7 fic.

Don Corneo would've picked Zack over Cloud and the girls any day

Holy shit, I keep wanting to pick out my favourite lines but that would mean copy/pasting pretty much the whole story out into this text box. XD I was giggling the whole way through, but I completely lost it at 'gay wedding chicken'. Zack and Reno really shouldn't be allowed in contact with one another anymore. It would save everybody else a lot of migraines.

Also, Reno technically not being employed by Shinra and Zack gay-chickening Sephiroth into bed explains pretty much everything. I'd always wondered how the pair of them managed those tasks...

Thank you for writing this! <3

Honestly, my mental image of Zack in drag is not a very feminine or pretty one-- (a conversation I had with someone on the topic included the description, "it looks like someone tried to make a cow wear a tuxedo") but to each their own! I'm really glad you liked it. When I posted it to resounding silence, I figured everyone who reads my journal who's still into FF7 had hated it and was either too kind or indifferent to say so.

They really shouldn't. Together, they're a horrible combination. thanks for inspiring it!

This was so much fun!! I kept bursting out laughing throughout. I love how Reno is very present in the narration despite not being there, and the image of Zack in his new outfit is really vivid. Thank you for sharing! :)

Thank you, I'm really glad it made you laugh! That's the best compliment ever :)

Reno is sort of a force of nature, isn't he-- he exerts influence no matter the status of his actual presence or not.

I kind of died from laughter at this point:

"You name your balls?" Cloud asked.

"You don't name your balls?" Zack said.

I think I love you a little bit. But that could be the bottle of wine talking.

I think I told someone else, the naming body parts conversation is taken almost verbatim from a conversation I overheard between my three brothers. Hooray for field research!

Thanks, I think! Whether it's the wine or not, I'm glad you liked it.

I'm horribly behind in commenting, as usual.
I, for one, am totally enjoying these, and so glad to see there was more. :D Enjoyed the whole thing, but I think my favorite line was about Reno's blood sample catching on fire. :)

[thorne_scratch]

No worries, so am I-- but I'm really glad you liked it! (And yeah, spontaneous fires are just something that happen around Reno or Reno-related items.)

Um, Thorne? I just want you to know that the mental image of "Pancho going rogue/AWOL/making a run for it" is haunting me a whole month after the fact. And I'm still struggling between cringing and bursting out in hysterical laughter at work. Which is bad, because my boss has caught me making faces to myself. And people on the bus have caught me doing so too. I kind of hate you a little bit right now for the permanent scarring, but then again, please excuse me while I run off to the bathroom to laugh some more. Because I've just re-read this ever-so-memorable fic, and Zack/Reno really are as horrifying as I recall. Thank you, very much.

I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm totally NOT, because it delights me that it makes you laugh, it really does. Thank you so much for your comment! Things like these really make it why I can never quit FF7.
