Thank you so much! *blushes* I, yeah, Kain kind of took over my head in a big bad way and ate my brain, and continues to do so.
If you're looking for other good FF4 fic, I can't recommend first_seventhe of LiveJournal enough. Her writing journal is here, and if you like Rydia and meta you'll probably love her stuff. Katmillia (both LJ and FF.net name) is also pretty awesome!
