First of all, I LOVED that you addressed being able to draw the GF's in Ultimicia's castle! More crazy time loops! Now I want to see a fight scene between the present and future GF's, nevermind that they don't fight that way in VII.
You can draw Eden from Tiamat? *sigh* I should know this, having used a guide the whole way through, but nooo, instead I went and fought that super annoying weapon in the Underground Labs...
It's also interesting about your take on Griever, that he is merely a GF you never found. WAIT. If Squall had the ring, and Rinoa took it for a bit, then Rinoa accepted Ultimecia's powers and then eventually hundreds of years later Ultimecia got them back maybe, with Sorceress Rinoa unable to part with her beloved knight, maybe....GRIEVER IS FUTURE!SQUALL?
I'm sure thats in a fic out there somewhere, but it sounded original in my head, lol.
I think the time skipping format really worked here. The snippets were just short enough to understand what was going on, and I was never too lost at what exactly was happening. I also really like your style, how you dole out only a few simple but really strong images, such as He cupped her face with one calloused hand, stroking it gently. You felt the tenderness without having to describe the expression of his eyes or the crumpled look on her face--just enough words to let the readers fill in the blanks.
This was fun! I'm glad you've been enjoying writing in the FF8 fandom. Maybe with summer on the way, I can finally try my own hand at Squall/Selphie, lol...
