I liked this story a lot as well. I like my favorite scene was the fireplace scene. It was so easy to see, it was almost real. It was touching, and it felt ‘warm’. I don’t know, I loved this and I loved the idea of them working on a house together. Great job.

I'm really glad that you do so much developement. It makes the story more believable because "love at first sight" never happens. Good job!

lovely, although, he has a gun...he could have ended it easily

Good Evening Seventh,
My name is un-importent to you and I admit I do now review as great fan works often deserve but I am here writing this now and now is what matters.For four years I have followed your stories as well as another author - T.Pirate - and have greatly enjoyed both of your works. "Dark White" is one of my favorites that contribute to strong character development. And yes, I also agree that characters should have REASON to 'snog' in a fiction. I write to thank you for your style,your effort to develop relationships and for your gift of writing. May fanfiction reign long in part because of great writers like you.Cheers.

'Lo Seventhe

It must be a bit odd to get a review for one of your older stories but I stumbled across this one in a C2 and it was too good for me *not* to review.

I have to say, I enjoyed this story because, like you said, it pushes character stereotypes. I've read a few of the 'Tifa almost committing suicide' stories too but this one sounded different. Tifa was more stubborn than determined and Vincent... well, people can make the boy dark, broody, and angsty but your characterization was very subtly different. 'empty', like you said, is a very good way to put it. It made him sound more human, I think.

All of that lovely colour imagery was very, very well done too. I loved the contrast between cold and warmth as well. There were too many good lines in this to count. The tone's great because it changes so often and your diction really reflects Tifa in it. All together, it makes for a very well put together story. ^^

Mm, I'll stop babbling now. *favs*

Heheh that is so cool! I really enjoyed this fanfic. ^__^ It made me smile over Vincent's actions.

aw how swet!! VinTi rules!

omg... this is like, one of the best EVER one shots... ! I hope you can come up with more!!

This is definitely one of the best one-shots I've seen in a while. It would have been wonderful if you did a multi-chapter installment, but I think this story goes better like this. I love how you drew out the relationship, since it's more realistic to draw it out. Love at first sight prevents a lot of development.

Again, this story is beautiful, and I love your way of writing. Tifa and Vincent became a realistic couple with this. So...to the favorites list you go.

Now 'that' was a well written piece. I have to say I really loved the intro. Brilliant. It caught my intrest in a snap. Your touch of humour was very well placed there and throughout the whole thing. *applaudes* This is the first of your works I've read, and it surely won't be the last.

I am extremely short on time, but I wanted to congratulate you on a spectacular piece. I too, prefer character development over speedy pieces, though I may not always do the best job of it. This is...one of the best one-shots I have ever read. In fact, I feel that my future pieces may become better because of it. It's amazing what kinds of things you can learn from someone else's work, if you take the time to appreciate detail.

...I really must be going, though I wish I could write more. Perhaps I'll send you an e-mail, if your contact is listed. This was amazing, and I mean it when I say "Thank you" for writing it.

Chalk one up on the "favorites" section.

Although this is by your admittance part of a series, a warming-up of characters, I really admire how very different this is from Swirl and Sours, down to the characters' choice of drink - classic, smoky Costan red wine here; ascerbic, vibrant Sunrise Sours in the other piece.
.
Characterization and dialogue is strong throughout, and it was great that the melt-down took *time* to take effect between Vincent and Tifa - love-at-first-sight isn't their style, but what they did find you wrote beautifully.
.
Keep it up, seventhe!

This was a, how you say, surreal fic. Just a very surreal fic for me,to a see a Vincent and Tifa fic, obviously so thought out. And for all the elements to come into the story with perfect tranquility. It was simply bliss, thank you. ^-^

Ack! Loved it. I have never read tifa/vincent before and may well never again but I read swirls and sours and decided your writing is too good to miss because of a silly thing like a pairing. The description of a mountain with all the white stretching out underneath it was brilliant. very poetic. The whole thing was just great.

Very, very interesting. I liked your unconventional pairing! :) And that kiss? Damn sexy! *goes off to pout because I can't write a scene like that*

I love your blend of humor and melancholy. It suits these characters very well.
