Did Squall just pull some Wibbly Wobbly Timey Whimy to get another shot at Ultimecia? Wow, great fic.

Well...Shit. That was good. And rather creepy.

It's - it's amazing. Holy hell. Your use of the English language is astounding here - I loved all the little style quirks you had going on that made it all more tangible, more real, and oh-so much more haunting.

And this is going into my quotes anthology:

"

There is something about despair that even the animals understand. It's what grips a deer staring at its own death, so that it can only stand stiff and still-every survival instinct frozen, unable to save itself. Convinced of its ruin, it awaits and enables its ruin. Despair is self-fulfilling calamity.

Terror is despair given desperation, is desperation given form and voice. Despair and terror feed on each other like symbiotes-they sap each other, strengthen each other, endure.

"

Astounding.

Well, that was a thought-provoking, tragic one-shot. I loved it. So Squall is incredible here. The bit about what makes a leader was awesome, and Squall was that leader.

A very interesting take on time compression and the end of FFVI. It's so hard to comprehend a story which breaks the otherwise infallible rules of time but you made it both entertaining and dark.

Good stuff.

Twisted but good. The thought of killing his friends in order to try a plan of questionable reasoning-that takes more of an iron will than I can ever even imagine having. Very nice job with Squall's thinking.

This was a bit odd to me... yet something REALLY drew me to it. ) Going to my favourites. _

Looking at the other reviews you've gotten for this, I doubt I'll be saying anything new but..wow. That was an absolutely astounding piece of writing that left me breathless by the end. The only thing that I can say for negatives on this is that I did get a little confused a little by the logic and time, though I think that added something to it for me. I wouldn't have it any other way. Excellent work!

Wow. That was really amazing. I enjoyed it a lot. Your awesome use of the English language was probably what made it so good for me. You're really far above most of the people on this site (myself included) and I found that refreshing. :) The idea was wonderfully original, too. A pleasant break from all of the romance abound. I think that the bittersweet points were brilliantly played out. Very subtle, very dramatic. ;) If anything, going away from this I can say this safely: I envy your skills with a pen (or keyboard.) Good show. Keep it up.

nicely written story. I found this while searching for Appendix I in order to re-read it, but it seems as though you have taken it down. It's a shame; I really liked that story, even though there was no concrete ending. I was actually hoping that you were going to continue writing it.

Whoa, that was really cool! It gave me the creeps! _ Excellent work!

Scarily, makes sense. Nice concept. Love ending.

Ah, I saw the title to this piece and I knew that I would have to read it. The concept of the penultimate is enticing, especially with your use of it in time compression.

As far as I can see, the characterization of these characters is exceptional and I am especially fond of Squall's repetition of his intent. It builds tension and leads you to the conclusion.

Thsi actually reminded me a lot of Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice" and I do wonder if there was any influence drawn from him.

Congrats on this piece, it's certainly one to remember.

I think it ate my review. If you're dying to know what I rambled about, I could email it or something. I apologize for this if it didn't actually eat my review and it's only my computer being evil.

Hello. I sort of stumbled over here one day a while ago, read this fic, and was... amazed. I then read most all of the other things you have posted, but I keep coming back to this one. I figured that, since I haven't got time (*cough-motivation-cough*) to review everything, I should at least review this, because I'm pretty sure it's my favorite.

Now that I've probably scared you, I'll move on and actually talk about the fic... .
