From start to finish, you kept me guessing as to what the outcome would be from Yuffie's decision. I was on pins and needles each chapter (especially in Chapter 7 where I almost shed tears), hoping there would be a happy ending even though I had accepted the strong possibility of her dying at the end. I can't tell you how excited I became when I read she was given a second chance at life and chance to be with Vincent. I really enjoyed how you developed their relationship as well as each other through their interactions. The banter between them was humorous at best and the sentimental moments were heart-wrenching and beautiful.
Overall, your writing was excellent. You kept me involved with the characters to the point I felt I was right there alongside them and made the experience all more real. In close I want to say thank you for writing a magnificent story. It has definitely become one of my favorites.
Let me just say that this story is one of the most beautiful I have ever, ever read. I wish there was a language I spoke that could express how truly breath-taking this piece of work really is. You have crafted the English word into something haunting and malevolent, violent and shattering, tear-jerking and heart-wrenching, warm and radiant. You, my friend, are a writer. A real, gifted writer. You have taken your own personal experience and rendered it into a spell-binding story. And as you've explained in that last chapter, there, your own story is shaping up quite nicely, as your mother is doing well. I'm many, many years late on this review, but I just finished reading this about twenty minutes ago. Believe me when I say that I laughed, that I cried, that I grinned like an idiot. Because it still i s that luminous. It's art.
Absolutely love this story. The first time I read it was I few years ago and I know eventually I will read it again. I love this story it is definitely my favorite on here. Thank you!

This was an awesome story. Few people have talent of breathing life into their characters like you do here. And you captured what true love, the kind that lasts past eternity, better than most people could ever dream of. You very rarely see people who understand what it is, in real life or in fiction. The other thing that amazes me is how well you captured the thoughts of someone with a serious illness. I am only in my teens but I have a nerve disease that causes my joints to hurt (it put me in a wheelchair) and an auto-immune disease on top of that. Plus I can't eat anything with wheat in it, which is pretty much everything. Nothing life-threatening but I feel really horrible all of the time and and being in a wheelchair definately made me feel helpless. I was really bad for the last 2-3 years and noone knew what was going on for the longest time and I had to do schoolwork even when I was too weak to get out of bed and even when it was figured out it looked like I would never get better and I'd be in a wheelchair and in pain forever, so I can definately relate to the feeling hopeless part, her whole story really. The good thing though is that I'm on the mend (got out of the wheelchair this year sometime around March or April, yay!) though it is a very looong and slooow process with LOTS of setbacks. Anyway, enough rambling about my boring lifestory. I just wanted to say that this was one of the best stories that I have ever read (and I've read a lot, love books and nothing else to do) an I'm really glad about your mother getting better. Thankyou for this fic and please don't stop writing! The world needs more stories like this.
I wish I could write like you! Like many others, this was the first fanfic I've ever read but never had the chance to review it. Now I do and i feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This story made me feel emotions I didn't think I was capable of feeling. I feel invinsible now and I want to cry like hell!
You are an awesome writer. If you do become a published author, I will go to the ends of the Earth to get that story. Best wishes! :)
This story was absolutely beautiful. Words cannot describe my love for this. And I understand what you were saying about your beta-reader being your brother; my older sister is mine, and we have similar conversations. Great job, and keep up the good work!

it's been two years since i first read this and whatcha say, it still makes me laugh squirm giggle and tear up. THANK YOU Guardian1, you've given us one heck of a ride.
This was such a sweet story. please excuse me while I bawl my freakin' eyes out.
Ahem. Okay, now that I'm done with that. I seriously enjoyed reading this. It was sad and sweet, but appropriately funny. Yuffie's characterization is stellar, and I like the image of a softer side of Vincent (and of him in a yukata, and shirtless, and-)
Gonna stop that one there. I'm getting sidetracked XD Back to the point- I loved it. Good job, this is a beautiful piee. Keep up the good work!
I read this two years ago (I think) and this was the first ever fanfic I've ever read in my entire life. And I loved it. This fic will forever be my favorite 3
It's just beautiful and well written. I have nothing bad to say about it.
Oh by the way, I have a printed copy of this fic. It was my sister's birthday gift to me a few years ago.
Anyway, you're just sooooooo awesome and great job! :D This is a masterpiece. :)
Oh wow. I'm jealous, I really am. Just as I was considering starting to right for this pairing, I'm totally pwned by this awesomeness!
This was a beautiful piece of work. You're characterization of Yuffie was perfect. There's really no other word I can use to describe it. From the first paragraph I got swept in, thinking I was actually reading a real-life Yuffie Kisaragi diary or something. I laughed so many times with her metaphors and her wit and her all over Yuffieness. :) Really, really great job with her.
The romance was adorable. I loved how you described it. Unlike all the other romances I've read, there was no sexual tension in this one but, they still loved each other regardless. I don't know how you did it. That was really impressive. There's really not another love like the one in this story and it made me all warm and fuzzy inside!
I loved everything. I loved Yuffie, I loved Vincent, I loved Yuffie with Vincent, I loved Cloud and Tifa and Cid and Red during their appearances, and just everything! And I especially loved the happy ending. At the end of chapter seven, I was revving myself up for a good long tearfest. It happened anyway except it was a happy tearfest instead of an emo one. XD
I think I'm done ranting about how amazing your story was. Really, really phenomenal work!
