A Note to My Readers

I would like to thank my first two reviewers and fellow FF members MissAudacious13 and Owanosegirl for taking time to review what I have so far. I've been taking a break from my Final Fantasy Tactics fic to write for SotE which I have really enjoyed and hope will continue in the future.

For those wondering, this collection of snippets is based mostly on the anime and written shortly after I finished watching it in 2015. I have decided to rewrite them and fix the errors on my first posting as well as breaking the paragraphs a bit more to make them easier to read.

I would like to point out that I know I portray the characters as a bit more mature then they were in the canon story. I have noticed that Yuu, Shinoa, Kimizuki, and Mitsuba behaved a bit childishly while Yoichi was shy and insecure early in the anime/manga.

But I believe it's a safe bet that they would have all matured a great deal after everything they have experienced in the battle of Shinjuku and Nagoya, hence the more mature manner of behavior I have portrayed them in my collection of snippits.

My impression of Shinoa is that she was a bit too light-hearted with all the jokes she's been playing on her squad until Guren pointed out that such behavior could end up getting her squad members killed; a lapse in judgment on one soldier's part could cost the lives of many. Which I thought was hauntingly prophetic when Shinoa's decision to protect Mika when he came for Yuu was at least partly responsible for the loss of Narumi's Squad. Yoichi seemed painfully shy and insecure at the beginning but becomes more confident and daring later on.

As for Mika, he is still leery of humans but eventually realizes that he is going to have to trust the rest of Shinoa's Squad because it would be virtually impossible for him to protect Yuu with his strength alone just as Yuu himself realized earlier on that he would have to trust his squad because he cannot take on the vampires alone.

I plan to have many Mika/Yuu moments in my collection but also want to bring the interactions of other characters into play such as Shinoa/Mitsuba, Shinoa/Narumi, and Yoichi/Kimizuki and so on. One thing I really love about this series is the multiple déjà vu moments and watching the characters change and grow as the story progresses.

On another note, I am still working on my sister SotE saga that is a alternate version of the story of Yuichiro Hyakuya as a girl. As much as I loved the original, I can't help wondering what kind of relationship Yuu would have with Guren and Mikaela if he was female and since there are so few good fem!Yuu fics out there, I've decided to try my hand and write one myself. So far, I can see that my efforts have been successful.

For those who like my collection of Seraph of the End stories, I highly recommend checking out my fem!Yuu AU series starting with Who She Is Within that covers Yuichiro Hyakuya's life from her birth until her adoption by Guren and life with him.

I had originally intended to end my fem!Yuu story there but my feedback and reviews have been so positive and encouraging that I have decided to continue it into the main series as well. So far, it has spanned three arcs, Broken Bridges, Mended Hearts, I, II, and III.

At the moment, I am still rewriting the canon timeline based off the manga with alternate version of events different from the original though I may consider breaking off at one point and making my fem!Yuu saga into an original story depending on how things progress.

For those interested in fem!Yuu/fem!Mika stories, please check out my SotE AU series, Genderbent Yuu and Mika Drabbles, also revised and re-posted.

Again, thanks to all my readers and reviewers; I hope most of the fans will find my works pleasing because I will certainly do my best .
