Description Please download for full size!
Ah, I finally finished it! I've been working on this on and off for weeks! This illustration was inspired by the most wonderful fanfiction I have ever read: Sympathy for the Damned by Xenobia. That's saying a lot because I have read my fair share of fanfics! This one was by far the best. If you haven't guessed by now it is a Kuja and Sephiroth pairing. I urge you to read it if you're intrigued. Yes it is yaoi, and it does get a bit graphic around chapter 7 but I must leave a link: [link]

Here's the plot: What happens to Final Fantasy villains when they die? It seems a mysterious group called The Watchers is giving them another chance to redeem themselves, but redemption is tricky for a group of madmen. How will Kuja survive when he finds the craziest of all has killed the others before him?

BTW, does this deserve the mature content filter? Let me know!

I'll say it, I love that story It was beautifully written and the boys are just natural. I like the scene where Kuja tricks Sephy into thinking that he could have kids (it was priceless).

I just read it and it brought tears to my eyes, especially at the end. This was one of the best and most well-written fanfics I've ever read as well.

Really? XD See I played FF9, and he popped out at me. He talked in sonnets and such and I labeled him the biggest theaterholic ever.

shido-burrito In reply to Aeronaut-Dreamer [2008-05-13 17:02:26 +0000 UTC]

Alas, I only got through 2 hours of the game and since he doesn't arrive until the end of disc one I never had the chance to really meet his character until this fanfic. I suck at RPGs!!!

Aw...well it's okay. XD If you read the quotes that are posted on the net at some sites, you can get a glimpse of his character.

Eeh! I love this fanfic! <33333

And, er, he comes in at the end of disk one. Just thought I'd clear that up.

Oh, what did I say? End of disc 2? I meant one. Thank you for the correction! And yes, the zombie part was scaaary! I wouldn't want a scary insane Garland zombie to attack ME though! *shivers*

I'd hit the Seymore zombie anyday.
But Garland!? Ew...just no...
Can't blame Kuja for going into shock.
And Kuja's dream later had me going "OMFGISHEGONNAGETPREGNANT" for about two chapters.xD

I don't read them too often, maybe an HP one and a Death Note one, but nothing that really got me into it XP Any suggestions?

Kuja was in FF8 or was it FF9? Either way I need to finish playing FF7, FF10-2, FF12 and start playing FF8 and FF9. T_T Too many RPGs to play...so little time!

shido-burrito In reply to animeotaku0321 [2007-09-19 02:45:41 +0000 UTC]

FF9, and he doesn't come in until the very end of disc 2! Wah!

animeotaku0321 In reply to shido-burrito [2007-09-19 02:59:05 +0000 UTC]

Whoa...that sucks. How many discs are there? 4? I think that's how many FF7 had...I just need to polish off Sephy and I'll be finished with the game...but I had no clue what was happening sometimes with the little lego ppl moving around and stuff. T_T I also wanted to get the extra items and sidequests...but I might just finish it off and then replay it (after the other ones I start/need to start)....

I probably have read it at one point or another... XDD. But... I can't right now. I'm on a school computer, and everything's blocked. >

But I'll be sure to look into it ASAP!
