The Double Life Of Reno...haunting...

Interesting chapter! I liked the exchange between Reno and Rude at the gym. This was a joy to read. Keep it coming.

This is so good! Please update soon! ^_^;

ooh I really really like this. please continue xx

Okay, so maybe I was wrong about the date of the internet disconnection... but before I get disconnected, I'm going to be sure to review. I know that in my look over it the other day I didn't really leave any sort of opinion (Sorry!), so I'll be formal about it, and leave my reiview where all reviews should be left (out in the open and public, so that you can flaunt them!).

The idea of giving Reno the Turk a backstory isn't a new idea, but your take on his past domestic life is certainly interesting, most especially due to the fianl scene in his little dream sequence.
I don't know what to expect plot-wise (that's right, even beta's don't know everything), but for some reason Reno's out of character behavior and Tseng's brief little questions keep reminding me of Tseng's past remark about the resignation form.
I also don't know how that Reno/Elena poll-thing is coming along, but whatever the choice you make, I'm excited to see next chapter, if not just because hopefully it will bring with it perhaps the child and som more Elena interaction.
Well, anyway... all in all I like this chapter, though I have to say that I still favor the first chapter slightly more, but if I think of anything else I ought say, I'll just leave another review.
-Au revoir!

I'm surprised I didn't see this fic before. Very interesting and well written. I'll be looking forward to the next chapter.

Excellent... just as i had pictured Reno. More soon please!

Lately I've been reading a lot of light-hearted Reno fics, so this is certainly something different. The dark humor is still there but this seems a little more serious. I mean, you're not really sugar-coating him. You're letting some bloodshed happen. I like that. (I must be in a sadistic mood.) Anyway, to me, this looks like a very unique story, and I like the idea of just making this a friendship type of story instead of a Reno/Elena story... though having a friendship can possibly lead to romance at some point. It just depends on how you want to write it, after all. Nice work!

Nice, beautifull...really cool fanfic...i love...and i'm like a Reno/Elena...keep writin...i'am waiting the next chapter!!

I am...speechless. Your fic is...what can I say? I'm really at lost for words here. Don't get me wrong, the fic's not bad..not at all in fact. Actually, it's good...really. The portayal of Reno..it's so different. Yes, he's the usual smart-** brat but that cold side in him when he does his job...I was taken aback. I've never really gotten to read this side of him before in other fics.
Yeap, you triggered something here, when I read your fic, I was like..woah. I like the way you put it all down in words. This is..great. Hehe.
Reno/Elena? No..Lol, well, I am a Reno/Tifa fan, hence my biased answer. Hehe. Ignore it. It's really up to you actually, cause either way, I will still like this fic and I will keep reading. Look forward to a new update...

It's me! Why thank you for the kind recognition, you know that you are very welcome.
As far as the paring goes, I think this could turn out nicely either way. If you wanted to show that they are just close friends or that the comraderie between them has strengthend by the end of your tale, that will work; though as will making this into a pairing. Though I would say that the latter would be the longer option.
And as I mentioned before, the liitle detail of teh childs hair could be noted and could help move this along or noted for its symbolism, or it could just be left as it is, as a strawberry blonde coincidence.
But by now I'm getting into matters that we've already discussed, so I figure I've said what needed said. I'm outta here!
Anytime you write more (or anything else, for that matter if need be) be sure to send it my way, I'll give it a second eye's opinion (and then some!). Au revoir!

this is pretty darn good so far! i'm very impressed. i like reno-centric fics, and you're doing my favorite turk lots of justice.

wouldn't make it a reno/elena fic tho. leave it at friendship, i think. also, you might go back and edit the first non-journal sentence of the story for repetition. if you read it outloud you'll see what i mean.

anyway! great fic, look forward to more!
