| Fandom: Final Fantasy VII Title: Evidence of Sephiroth's Humanity Author: dantesdarkqueen Rating: T Genre: Humor Summary: Think about it. What was Seph like prior to Nibelheim? Did he ever have sick days, hangovers, telemarketers that would not leave him alone? Well, you can bet your ugly f-cking boots he did! And so this fic, which will eventually become a series of oneshots/drabbles, has come into being. Proof that Sephiroth is, beyond a reasonable doubt, as human as you and I! (taken from ff.net) |
| Sephiroth is the big, bad enemy of Final Fantasy who is supposedly the absolutely perfect man. However, this fanfiction puts all those beliefs of Sephiroth's perfect life to rest. It would be hard to fashion this man's undoubtedly dark history into a humorous, yet occasionally thought-provoking and tear-inducing of both unconnected and connected chapters. With Sephiroth, Zach, the Turks, and various appearing characters both original and straight from the game, this fiction will have you rolling on the floor laughing. From a bare-naked Palmer, to a bad reaction to cough syrup, to an Herbal Essences addiction, to a four-shot of bad karaoke and embarrassing dancing, you'll laugh until your face turns blue. However, this story isn't all humor. With some dark chapters chronicling Sephiroth's past, such as a horrifying memory of Sephiroth's childhood to the death of a scientist who grows close to Sephiroth, your tears of laughter will turn to tears of sadness and sympathy. Each chapter is well-written, and seamlessly introduces each new character. Some of the characters will get confusing, mainly the various secretaries, but they don't appear all that often. Not all of the characters are original, or even from Final Fantasy VII. There are several characters straight from Kingdom Hearts 2 that will have you rolling, especially in the chapter Security System, Meet Reno. However, each character plays an important part in at least one chapter, and is not present just as a 'filler.' Each character has a conflict or at least one incident that they wish had never happened (such as the results of a drunken excursion in the chapter Nasty Discovery). I recommend this story as a must-read. With it's thought-provoking, hilarious, or sad chapters, it is definitely worth a look-see. |
