Thank you! I can't stand Hojo either myself. I try not to bash him because that's just bad writing but I never really can put him in a good light. I pretty much have my hands full with one epic AeriSeph fic already, so I'm not about to go adding anything too lengthy to the list, but madcap_minstrel has a good AU where they grow up together here.

I was wary about sharing the Marriage!verse. I use it mostly for kicks and I didn't think it would really appeal to anyone else, but if you want more, there'll be a few more pieces of it yet. :)

I've only really begun exploring the S/Z/A triangle lately myself so I'm glad you think I'm doing it well. :D
