Hello Oniko, I've been following this story since the beginning and just found my way back due to a rumor that FFN may have been abandoned by the mod team. I wanted to back this story up because it is something I still think about so many years later. I saw your updated note on chapter 22 from 2018 and the amount of joy it brought me to see evidence that you're still thinking of this story is not something I can put into words 3 If you still plan to finish this story and want to move your work onto a more future proof platform I can give you an AO3 invite. Reach out on Twitter ViraajaXx - all the best! xoxoxo

This was such a great read. I especially loved seeing Sephiroth getting his first real world experience as a leader; it's a part of his story that doesn't get a ton of attention and really well done here. His uncertainties, his mistakes, the intense desire to please mixed with a total lack of trust, the naivete mixed with cynicism. There were so many character traits that really fleshed out the reality of his upbringing.

And the role reversal aspect was really satisfying, too. BAMF Cloud and baby Sephiroth. Putting Sephiroth in Cloud's place at the Corneo infiltration. It fit and it was so fun.

Would LOVE another chapter!

Ahahabfkebrjf the tension is killing me. I really love this story and will wait as long as it takes. Take all the time you need!

My six sense was already screaming "incomplete" by the end of the previous chapter .So I really hope I'll be able to read how it ends . And thank you for sharing.

Maybe he should tell Cloud the most important information first . Which is Hojo KNOWS about their little secret and to be even more careful, don't you think ?

Oh boy. I did think it would be a good idea to confined in someone thrust worthy but didn't know who .

Thanks for not spoiling the story in the resume. It's so much better !

I'm thinking that maybe Cloud is from the future but I'm not totally sure.

SCREM it's been like years, but I can't help but hope for a conclusion to this story! Sephiroth meets what he could've been, he's THIS CLOSE to resolving things with Cloud - did Cloud's mum make it out of the Nibelheim fire caused by his alternate self OK? How does Veld reconcile with his thought to be long lost partner Vincent? What's Seph going to do now that he knows his dad is not Hojo! Lucrecia's still alive, do they know! Oh, please do ask Cloud about Tifa Seph, 'so Yuffie says you're in love with her but you're messing about with me?' HAHAHAH -AHHHH

Thy most dearest author, please continue this delightful masterpiece of ffvii fanfic universe, on another note; damm~ you're busy aren't you I hope life is kind to you.

Oh my goodness, please don’t abandon this fic! It is so good. So well written and in character. I never knew I needed AC!Cloud/young!Sephiroth in my life, but now that it’s there, I need more! I need to know what happens! Thank you for this story, even if it doesn’t get finished. I really enjoyed it. ️

I eagerly await your return. I LOVE this fic. You write everything so well and everyone is IC, and Sephiroth's struggle is Just. So. Real. I adore this fic, and I thank you for writing it and giving me a chance to read it.

This is one of the best stories I’ve read in a while. Can’t wait to see how it ends!

Continuing from previous review (it's still the same person)you have not been around for quite some luck to you on finishing the story and does anyone know who has the longest hiatus in the ffvii fanfic circle other than jukebox hound the author?
