I'd lost track of this for the longest time, but then it was on a list of recs on fflove190's tumblr and I am SO GLAD I FOUND IT AGAIN because I LOVE IT. You're awesome and I wish I'd been able to tell you earlier. :)

Another name for it is trypanophobia.

i liked the story in thw end. a good and well written fic. i particularly liked sephiroth and zacks characterization near the end of the fic, with sephiroths casual? violence and zacks badassery. and cloud was perfect

i like this story; its fun and unique. but i feel like the doctors mako level was an asspull of ridiculous proportions. you did so much blatant foreshadowing that it was kind of predictable. and by making it so she happened to be perfect match to sephiroth killed a lot of potential tension that ur kind of forcing with this plotline w zack. i still like the plotline and i like this story but the fact that you kind hop skipped over any potential character development/plot tension for the sake of an easy relationship between tessa and sephiroth is disappointing. still gonna stick around!

The email made me laugh so hard haha

It's so satisfying to read Sephiroth who for once doesn't submit to Jenova and beats her down in his head (or out of it).

Strange of Sephiroth not to oust Tseng to Shinra right away. I haven't read it as him being so dissatisfied and distrustful of the company at this point. Tseng is OOC but I am interested to see how you will develop his character further.

This chapter made me laugh hysterically, omg... Seph looking at his lively guys in the microscope... Oh, my...

I decided I couldn't NOT read all of this fic in one go, so I went for it and I've gotta say I'm impressed. I neverNEVERread fics with OC'S in them because... well, usually they're pathetic or annoying. That being said, I think I loved yours. And again, that's something I never do. This story was cheesy at points, I'll admit, but damn, I do love your writing style. I was also ridiculously happy that you decided to include a "yaoi route." I read both the normal story and the yaoi story to see what you would do (just because I was curious) and I gotta say I thought it was a nice touchnot many authors would do that and it was really nice (Zack/Sephiroth is a ship I will go down with any day). So, overall, nice story! Well done! Even if it takes 11 years I'd like to read more from you

OK, I'M ONLY ON CHP. 15 BUT MAY I JUST SAY I LOVE YOUR WRITING STYLE? IT'S ACTUALLY PERFECT.

A really good story. It's surprise me...

Wonderful story and good ending.

AWWWWW one big happy family

WELL, the story is breaching to an end and everything is looking good

really interesting, like where this is going
