Tobu Ishi 2008-07-22 ch 1, anon.	abuseOkay, this is Tobu, but I don't want to waste a signed review on telling you this when I'll certainly want it later to spaz about the new chapter. I just wanted to say that I skipped over to your page to link this story to somebody as an example of amazing Barrett/Tifa, had just enough time as it loaded to think, "Gee, wouldn't it be funny if the one time I'm not here to check for updates, she's updated?", and THERE WAS AN UPDATE. I'll set aside my pride here and admit that I screamed out loud for joy. You are NOT DEAD (thank God), and you need to email me so I can mail you that darn doujinshi that's been on my coffee table under a pile of tax paperwork and Comic City brochures for six months. Why is this week so made of win and love? I feel like I should be saving some up in a bottle for later.
epitomeof.fail 2008-07-20 ch 6,	abuseYou know, I always read a fic and if i like it, I'll probably read it again a couple months later or something. But this, I keep coming back everyday to read chapter five and random passages and i started crying before Yuffie did and and and, its one of the greatest fics EVAR, kay kay'. D: You're an amazing writer, just thought you should be reminded cause everyone has told you that already. ♥
SnoweRestless 2008-07-20 ch 6,	abuseGod, I love this story. Frickin' amazing. You have an absolutely delicious way with words, although I feel Barret could sue you sometimes. xD Please continue this, and other stories. I'll read them all, you just write too damn well not to.
Hashkorns 2008-07-19 ch 6,	abuseExcellent, you finally updated. I like this story. While morbid, it is absolutely hilarious. Just one hope: I know that there isn't any room for romance in this awesome-packed story but Yuffie and Cloud definitly aren't going to be a couple right? It's just their story of the Planet's end and their journey to Traverse Town right? Just needed to confirm that real quick. ~Hashkorns
MordeMe 2008-07-17 ch 6,	abuseAmazing. Hilarious dialogue, but such a sense of atmosphere! I loved every word!
Wyntermute 2008-07-17 ch 6,	abuseThis story is so wonderful -- comic and tragic and awesome first person! I can't even pinpoint a particular section that was my favourite because it is all so well detailed and fabulously written. And even if the next chapter takes five years I would still read it and love it just as much. :D
parakeetfood 2008-07-12 ch 6, anon.	abuseFantastic update once again. Still loving Yuffie's voice, your great descriptiveness and characterization, and all the other abysmally dark stuff. Also there is no display of any grammar issues which give me involuntary tics. This ranks highly in my world. Thank you. It's probably one of the best stories out there now, and in a three-way tie for best as far as my preferences go. I have but one nitpick... (forgive me if this was posted before) Ice materia is Magic materia, and therefore green. You wrote it in Ch. 6 as yellow, which is Command. Otherwise, please keep the awesome coming whenever you are able.
Nonsumpisces 2008-07-10 ch 6, anon.	abuseI'll just be repeating everyone else if I say that this is the absolute best FFVII/KH fic I have ever read after seeing it on another author's favorites. It inspired me to look at other FFVII/KH fanfics only to find that 99% of them are total dreck and that yours was one of the few good ones. You have an incredible writing talent and style. While it does say when you review that it is helpful to give "a well rounded critique" the only thing I would critique you on is the fact you are apologizing for living your own personal life. Your fan works should be something you want to do and not an obligation. I think your writing is so amazing that waiting for the next chapter even if it takes awhile is definitely worth it. I've been meaning to review this story but never got around to it (which makes me lazy and ungrateful) so thank you for updating even though there are people like me who are the "Silent Majority" and hardly ever review(please forgive me).
Erin C. 2008-07-10 ch 6,	abuseThis does "laughing to keep from crying" better than anything I've ever read, fanfic or profic. The weight of the subject matter would be almost unbearable but for Yuffie narrating it. It's that much worse knowing that everyone except those that show up in Kingdom Hearts are almost inevitably going to die. I miss Vincent already, but high-on-locoweed Reeve, almost as hilarious and heartbreaking as Yuffie, partly fills the hole. Still loving and clutching my heart over this story, six chapters in.
Yorae-chan 2008-07-09 ch 6,	abuseYou have absolutely no idea how happy this chapter has made me. I have pretty much given up checking my favourite stories list on this site, simply because NOTHING worth reading is ever updated, it seems as of late. So imagine how ecstatic I was to see that probably my favourite fic of all time has been updated, finally. I think everything in this is absolutely perfect. You have so precisely captured every individual character's personality and issues, and their relationships with all of the other characters. Continually I am touched by the simply perfect descriptions of FFVII and KH incidents and themes. Probably the thing that bugs me the most about this fic is I already KNOW how it HAS to end. I know that SOMEHOW, Yuffie, Cid, Cloud, and Tifa have to survive it all, get sent to different worlds, and Aeris and Sephiroth also have to reappear somehow. I cannot wait to see how they get to that point, though. You are truly gifted; keep up the amazing work, but no pressure to update quickly. I would rather wait a year for a fantastic chapter than a month for a so-so one. xxyorae
em-witchwood 2008-07-08 ch 6,	abuseI didn't like this, at first. I read a few paragraphs and wrinkled my nose and had a moment of, "Oh, God. Not again." And then I re-read them and kept reading and decided it was brilliant. Though, had this been told from the POV of anyone but Yuffie, I'd have stuck with my first impression. I love how you managed to keep up Yuffie's sarcastic, obnoxious, wonderful teenage retard voice and still convey the absolute hopelessness of their situation. It's been a while since I dipped into this particular fandom, but all your characterizations seemed spot on. Basically, this was damn good, and I think I have to go on and read everything else you've wrote, now.
Furry wombat 2008-07-07 ch 6, anon.	abuseI love crazy Cloud, normally I can't stand cloud in fanfics but you do such a good job of portraying him as this unlikable character whose totally nuts but still liked anyway. I can't think of any other fanfiction author that would be able to pull that off.
JeanneAndHerAlters 2008-07-06 ch 6,	abuseI actually put off reading a lot of this chapter because I was to nervous to actually keep reading. Its like I want to know but I don't want to know but I do! I should stop rambling though I have a terrible habit of rambling. Very nice job though!
Erity 2008-07-06 ch 6,	abuseThis was a lovely thing to come home to after a vacation. It hadn't been updated in at least forever, but good things are worth the wait, and this is certainly a good thing! This was beautiful as always. It's hard to find a story that can make me smile, but also give me that painful pulling sensation pretty much at the same time. THIS DOES IT. Wowness, cuz that doesn't happen often. My favorite part had to be the whole hair-cutting thing, just because of all the symbolism. It was just great, and oh my god you cut Tifa's hair off. Wowza. Marlene is so cute. Dinosaur, hee. I can't wait for the next chapter!
Smart Alex 2008-07-02 ch 6,	abuseoh, my gosh. Can I mention how much I love this fic? because I love it a lot. I don't know why I don't have it on my favourites or alert list yet. I've been reading it since I saw it on ficwad, and then I've checked it on other people's favourites, but it just hasn't made it to mine. I love Yuffie's narrative. I love the dark humor that's covering this entirely awful tragic story, wherein Barret and Marlene probably don't make it and Reeve probably ends up dying some awful death while high and possibly thinking of Yuffie. There are so many details in this, from Marlene calling herself Dinosaur to Cloud's creepy Mako eyes and then the Heartless in the water that just make it all -so good-. Yuffie's phone call to Vincent, though, made me sit here and go AW at my screen, as in Aw, MAN, :(. I can't wait to see what you do with this, and even though it's so oddly out of canon it somehow seems like it'll all work. Here's hoping for another awesome chapter to come soon!
