Aah, I've become such a lazy reviewer! Anyway, this is really cute and entertaining. Wow, you seem to come up with the most random ideas for fics (and I mean that in a good way). Although it's strange for me to see Gustav as comic relief after becoming accustomed to Rapist!Gustav, your wise-cracking, loudmouthed incarnation of him is a treat to read. You write the chemistry between Wiegraf and Gustav well, and I love how irreverent all the churchgoers are.

The only thing I'd nitpick about is that some of the lines are a tiny bit awkward. Example: "...and they would all arrive, sooner or later, for reasons of warmth or for reasons of it not being done for people of their position to skive off." It's a funny line, but the meaning comes across as a bit unclear; why not say something like "and they would all arrive, sooner or later, whether it was because they wanted to find shelter from the cold in the warmth of the church, or because it was inacceptable for people of their position to skive off." (Not that that's much less awkward; on second thought, maybe I'm not the best person to be taking grammar advice from ;).) Little things like that make it harder to follow the story, and it becomes more noticeable in humour fics, which are supposed to be clear and easy to follow. But your excellent grammar and unpretentious writing style more than make up for it, and this story has actual energy.

Good job, and keep writing good fics! (Here's to more decent Final Fantasy Tactics fanfiction!)

Thank you so much for emailing me about this! It's wonderful. I was snickering the entire time. Very, very good use of situational humor--which, to me, is a lot more amusing than quips being strewn about like confetti or body parts--and the development of the story is solid. It doesn't feel 'short', but rather 'full'; that is, to say, it's a story that makes full use of every word. I raised an eyebrow at Wiegraf in a humor story, but I feel your characterization of him in such a trying situation was spot-on, particularly his reactions. This church sounds like a movie theater. :)

Yeah, I'm impressed, satisfied, and happy. Your use of humor is much better than my own...I'll have to study this fic to see what makes it work. Thanks for writing the first story I've read in weeks that outdoes its summary by...a lot, let's say.

(By the way, I, heh, meant that the next side story will be out after Sept. 1st. I'm inspired to do another humor story now!)
