I remember reading this story a while ago so I'm befuddled as to why I neglected to review that time since reading through a second time I still think it's a damn good story. You portray Cid with an seemingly effortless ease that's very enjoyable to read. I especially liked the descriptions of his hands.

And this line: 'He'd washed it and boiled it sterile and at that point he didn't feel like tea anymore because the stupid blue kettle looked so stupid on his goddam stove.'

It just stuck out so Cid-ishly. Congrats on a great fic. :)

This is so Cid it hurts. It's adorable, in as much as battered and grungy can be adorable.

...I have so much love for your story.

In character to a fault.

Never played Final Fantasy but thanks to Kingdom Hearts I know a few of the characters. And thanks to Advent Children I love the characters that I know from Kingdom Hearts even more.
In the end... I love this.
Cid is my love and you are so grand. I'm going to go look up the names and things that I didn't quite follow :)
*adds to favorites*

Been meaning to leave a review for awhile for this, but I guess I'm as lazy as the people I like to bitch about who read and don't respond.

Lovely story. It just flipping WORKS, everyone's in-character and Shera's personality fits (boy do I love her calling him a silly old arse) and she's not a complete pushover and just YES YES YES.

A decent Cid and Shera fic is a rare treasure indeed. A WONDERFUL Cid and Shera fic is holy. Proud to have it on my Favourites list, even if it does make my own take on the relationship look like utter balls in comparison.

YAY!

I hope you know that this is genius. XD. GREAT characterization, heart-wrenching in fact, and I never knew Shera to be written so convincingly. Great take on their relationship, this fic was great.

He was sick for his own wedding?

Bwhahahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahah! xD

That was cute. ^_^

I loved reading this so incredibly much. Cid and Shera were perfectly in character- and the terrible verbal and emotional abuse that made up their relationship was still distressingly present. ^__^ And yet it worked!

The last line... just cracks me up.

There are never enough Cid/Shera (Chera?! Ciera? These pairing names are bloody confusing) fics around! Thank you so much for writing this!!

Heh. The proposal was *classic* Cid. Two Thumbs up!

Left with a tear in my eye but a smile on my lips... it was an excellent read throughout, and I admire your eye for details. Specifically the nicknames, their 'matching' hands, and the subtle reminisces of his Avalanche days. Ah yes, and the ending was dead-on.

Cheers, and thanks for the great story,

WOW.

Just, wow.

Supremely well-developed, excellent pacing and...

I kiss your feet. Thank you so much for writing this story. I thank you on behalf of Cid/Shera fans everywhere.

This was wonderful. It really cheered me up after the day I had at work. The little details were exceptional and the ending was perfect. Thanks for writing it.

OMG!! I totally LOVED this story! You kept Cid in character well, and the way you were able to utilize words to keep the story flowing was amazing. I am a HUGE Cid fan, which is why I created a C2 community just for him, and whoever added this story (I think I know who) has added it in good taste! Great job on this one, and I hope to see another from you!

well, I haven't actually read it yet, being technically on holiday and at a small computer for half an hour at a public library in Devon, but I though you'd like to know that as soon as I got the author alert I immediately sent a copy to my sister, who's been playing ff7 for AGES, is getting frustrated with the small amount of ff7 fanfic that isn't gay pr0n, and who LOVES Cid.
I think it's fair to say you've made her happy.
