This is the sound of me being knocked over with a feather

My ff_exchange gift is now posted, and it's just about the last thing in the world I was expecting.

Paine/Nooj. Epic. By bottle_of_shine, who just spent the last month and a half misleading me into thinking that she was writing an FFVIII story. (Very effectively, I might add, and I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for her not to spill these particular beans. Congratulations, Nay, it worked. You can breathe now...)

You should all read it. Paine and Nooj getting their UST on! Eventual snogging! Tons of tasty meta! Bonus CS4 action! Yay.
