interesting to see in any case.

Actually, I'm already working on something of that nature.  The story's called
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.  <plug plug!>

^_^;  

It involves the rather convoluted relationship between Sephiroth, Zack, and
Cloud.  Of course, that's not immediately apparent because the story's
positively epic in length (like I can write any other type of story?) and I'm
only on the rough draft for Part 3.  It's also partially an alternative
reality story....
