What a great story...I felt like I was right there with people I had known over a long time because you pegged their characters so accurately. It all seemed so honest and spot on...it would be wonderful to read more of this, to see how this experience really did or did not change the way these three Turks felt about killing in the future. I really enjoy reading your work.

Wow. This is very very good. I always wondered what the turks were doing during the whole Meteor thing and I believe you captured that atmosphere really well. This fic is fantastic.

"Three. Reeve's in denial. Lucky bastard."

Ahahahaha. Very clever. On to chapter three!

This is already a great fiction, right from the get-go. I always have wondered what was on the Turks mind at this time, so I'm glad somebody stepped up and wrote about it. Great job!

This is a very interesting story about waiting for Meteor to crash. I never really considered just how difficult it would be to know all about the advancing disaster and not be able to do anything about it. It must have been doubly difficult for the Turks who are not at all used to feeling helpless.

Elena's anger at Reeve is interesting and justified. I find it believable, the course of action Reeve chooses to take.

I like the way the Midgar media is a heck of a lot like the news broadcasts we have here. Elena's reaction to the media is much like my own.

I like Rude's thought about the Mako powered car and his feelings of guilt and his realization that maybe everything he thought was wrong. It must be a hard thing to come to terms with.

You write the interaction between the characters very well. They seem to have an odd sort of fondness for each other, but none of them are really close it seems. They all actually separate off into their own worlds as they prepare for the end of everything they know. I think that is an interesting way of showing the trauma of this event. Even though Reno and Elena sit down to watch TV together I don't get the impression that they really provide any comfort to one another.

Some nitpicking:
"Avalanche'd leave him alone, he blew his cover with them." Comma splice here.

"It's not certain death, it's just giving some a head start," Reno began, but her face had twisted with emotion and he broke off." The comma after "death" should be a period or a semi-colon.

"I can't do that, I can't just leave people here to die in all this!" This is a comma splice as well.

There are also quite a few sentence fragments, but I am beginning to get the impression you might know that they're there and are using them for effect, therefore I think I'll stop now. :)

Ah **. I can¨'t think of anything original to write... Hm... And if I write "nice fic" or something like that it'll sound corny... And it's not original either... I guess you just have to get my point 'bout what I thought of this fic by it's score, yeah.

Fic rating: 8/10.

oh I really like this! going on my faves x

This was incredibale. You totally captured the characters personalities perfectly. They seemd so alive, ya know? This was very well done, very very well done!!

Very gripping. You did a good job making them seem real human. Having the characters in a position where they can't do anything about meteor and just have to watch it's an interesting idea. I don't think I've seen anyone do that before. So, any chance of a chapter on the aftermath?

oh my lord, this was absolutely amazing. true to character and so poignantly out-of-touch. loved it, loved it.

Now these... *these*... are the Turks as they should be. As another reviewer pointed out, they've got depth and character, and don't fall into any of the terrible cliches. They had weaknesses, but they weren't weak... You write them with more physical interaction than most, but under the circumstances of the fic, it worked.

That said, their interaction overall was some of the best that I've read in the fandom, and I liked how you wove in Reeve's bit; not quite a part of the Trio, but definitely there, trusted. A little alien (which reminds me, Yuffie's comment about his split personality was bang-on - for both her characterization and his) but no less powerful.

Thanks for sharing this with us; I hope you continue to write in the fandom. Cheers!

wow...well done...very emotional, especially the whole Lifestream part...I really enjoyed it.

Wow. That was really good. The characters flowed believably from the game to this. It reminded me that I have a similar fic to finish (oddly enough, I had Cait, Yuffie, and Barret in the same party, too ^^). The ending seemed kinda rushed, like one minute they're writhing on the ground with the knowledge of the Ancients (I guess) and the next they're all ok. It felt like it needed another paragraph in there somewhere. Other than that, I really liked it.

*standing ovation* Your characterisation of the Turks - and of Reeve - is superb. I particularly liked Reeve acting as go-between for the Turks and AVALANCHE. ^^ That was really cute, and yet, even during the dire circumstance they were in, it didn't seem at all out of place.
Also liked how Rude was someone other than a plank with no emotion whatsoever. :) "...I'm not afraid, I just don't want to die." I'd say that summed Rude up rather well, but to see him lose some of his composure toward the end was... refreshing, and probably accurate. :) Go you.
