I'm really, super-duper sad that you're probably never gonna update this, but since I got so freakin' sucked into this – in spite of the, at times, flowery language that made me wanna bash my head against the keyboard – I thought I'd toss out my two pence.
This was freakin' awesome. It started out a bit too slow and flowery for my tastes – too many years of having to read bad poetry at uni turned me off and over-use of adjectives and adverbs – and I almost dumped it a few times, but I was just tired enough to not want to bother starting a new fic, and too awake enough to go to bed then, so I kept on. Kinda glad I did; you put so much emotion and sharpness in this fic, especially the latter chapters, that it took my breath away and had me rooted to my seat. During the last chapter, I was torn between just getting Seifer and Squall to meet and duke it out, and waiting for Seifer and Irvine to do each other in the clearing and get it out of their systems. It was all kinds of awesome. I'm not even sure I have the words for the awesomeness.
On that note, I need water – rooted to my chair, remember – and some sleep. So I shall bid you adieu, and I very much hope you continue using your excellent writing skills, even if they're never again used on this fic.
I stumble upon this story today and I love it. I know there is little to no chance of you updating it, due to the length of time you've been away but at the same time I can't help but home to hear from you. Your characterization was brilliant, and you plot was deep and thought out. I felt along with you characters, you managed to make them complex giving them strengths and weakness and having them struggle with both, esp. the main three. You did well setting the scene and I enjoyed reading your story. I hope that even if you don't continue writing this story, That you continue to write in general because you have a talent for it. Thanks for making my night with your work. I need the boost. Have a great life haha.
Oh, please tell me you're going to be continuing this soon? I went on your homepage to read the trailers (by the way, the page formatting of the homepage cuts off a lot of text, since it seems impossible to scroll down). but seriously, your cliffhanger on the trailers is too torturous to just leave without telling us what happened/what happens next/how it happened
This is a crazy amazing compelling story. holy cow. And the way you've painted Irvin, the strength you gave him, and just the intensity of our favorite boys is just.. well.. it's breathtaking really.
Not sure if you're still writing this.. but wow, I hope you do continue it.
Like many have said I don't know if you'll ever update this! but damn! this story is amazing! you have the characters down pat, so much going on so much to lure you in! and Seifer! I wanna see the scene between him and Squall really really do!
Amazing! :-D

*grin*
i'm still around... and thank you! i love this story tons too.
I realise that, given it's been so long since the last update, you've probably left the fandom or moved onto other things, but if you're still around to get this then I just thought I'd let you know that I think this is an awesome story. I really enjoyed reading it.
I couldn't remember why I still had a bookmark of a fic that hadn't been updated since 02. After rereading it I damn well know why. It's one of the most well written pieces of fanfiction I've read in years.
Your characterization, and the way you pull emotions out of those characters is breath taking. I hope whatever your doing now. You are still writing something. Even if you no longer want it to be this. You do have a gift it shouldn't be wasted.
I love this story, since for once somebody writes Seifer character just the way I think he should , the fact that there even hasn't been any interaction between Seifer and Squall and you still get the feeling that there is a lot going on between them, shows how well this is this newest chapter, though I really liked that scene where Squall and Irvine had their talk.
Thank you for sharing this. I was expecting a run of the mill SeiferxSquall, and was blown away. There's a depth to your writing that I don't come across too often (I really don't remember the last time I've come across it actually), and I just can't help but feel something nice from having read it (are you a professional writer?)... The scene with Squall and Irvine was intense, and the one with Seifer and Irvine almost broke my heart again...
I'm guessing this is going to be discontinued, or updated very haphazardly (I went to your homepage, and understand you'll update when you will, if you want.) Chapter ten was lovely, and the snippets of 11 and 12 kept me intrigued. If you continue this, well, I'll be back. If you don't, I'm just happy you posted as much as you did.
Okay, wow, full circle. I just reviewed, but I didn't look at the author name until after I submitted my review, so I hadn't even realized it was YOU who wrote this! I am a huge fan of your work Interlude and Relativity, so I was floored when I realized you also wrote this. This story is absolutely insanely good, as all your work is.
*is relieved to have found your homepage* For a very depressing moment there, I thought I wouldn't see another chapter for this fic. Beautifully written, great characterizations. The Seifer and Irvine interaction has got to be my favorite, I have this massive thing for their interaction written well, and you are awesome and win in that department. Your Zell and Fuujin bit in this chapter earns props, too.
