abuseSo I realize you finished this quite a long while ago, but I just HAD to leave these comments. I loved this story; it made me feel so many emotions at the same time. It made me laugh out loud and at the same time broke my heart into a million little pieces, and I don't even care because that's just how amazing this was.

Your prose is incredible, and I love your Yuffie. She's snarky and blunt and the dark humor sprinkled throughout just made everything perfect. Your Vincent is amazing too. Oh, heck, what am I saying? Everybody was great.

So I know this may not be the most coherent of reviews, but I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this. There are so many little lines I could fangirl over, but I think I'll just leave it here saying you're a wonderful writer, and thanks for sharing such a wonderful story.

abuseOkay. I just realized you finished this about five years ago and are probably grown up and have a husband and don't even read these reviews anymore. But I'm going to give ya a comprehensive review anyways.

After almost two years on , I have seen my share of romantic fics- the good and the bad. I can say, without a doubt, that every single one has been the stuff of fairy tales- cute, but not down-to-earth.

Astonishingly enough, your story struck me as highly realistic (with willing suspension of disbelief only required for the inherently fantastical setting). You moved through extremely human emotions and highly human responses to situations, if that even makes any sense. And to top it off, you managed to inject a buttload of humor into a fic about a girl dying!

Another thing about almost 100% of the fanfic on this site is that the so-called "love" featured in the stories is really better defined as what comprises a passing fancy. On the contrary, what you have captured here between Vincent and Yuffie- the long tortuous hours of watching her sleep, the real-to-life unromanticized solution of him bathing her, the weeks of sacrifice- is, beyond a doubt, real lasting LOVE. I don't know how familiar you would be with "Christian" terms, but I would definitely call it agape love. Unconditional and for forever.

It made me cry once and come close to tears twice. You wield prose well, and your organization is superb. The characterization was nearly impeccable, and entirely believable even though Vincent develops quite a bit from where canon leaves him. If anything, I wish you would have used a tad less swearing, as overuse of cuss words diminishes their "sting" and I am not fond of them personally, but that's just a matter of personal opinion.

My gosh, this is a long freaking review.

To sum it all up: this story struck me as very, very real. For that reason, it was unbelievably moving.

Thank you.

abuseThis is very realistically written and captured my attention completely.

Vincent brings her flowers... XD That's really funny, because my friend and I recently decided that Vincent likes the smell of daisies.

"Screw death, I told her. Her laugh
could have broken my heart. I think it already had." This is a beautiful line.

abuseOHMIGAWD. BEST @#$ING FIC EVER. HOLY !@#$! This fic was everything. EVERYTHING. I could ask for in a good VY fic! OHMIGAWD. I seriously thought Yuffie was going to die, then not die, then die, then I was, like, OH GODS, SHE'S DEAD! Or, in my friend's words- She ded. Then the cross-dressing summon-whose-name-I'm-not-going-to-even-attempt-to-spell poof'd up and is all MWUHAHAHAHA! I"MMA DEUS EX MACHINA-BUT NOT REALLY. Cuz it'd be a deus ex machina if he radomly appeared in, like, gongola and was like, I FIX YOU, NO PROBZ. But, seriously, I laughed/cried/died-a-little-upon-finishing-in-a-good-way in this story. MUCH MUCH LOVE. I couldn't stop reading. (And my AC's out. CRAP.) I love your writing style, it's just /so/ Yuffie. A few, at least in my mind, OOC moments on Vincent's part, but that was because he wasn't such a static character anymore. LOVELOVELOVE. And OHMIGAWD, this was written 6 years ago. Crap. i shoulda gotten a hold of this fandom sooner.
