Great. Just as things are /starting/ to look up for Zack and Seph, the Turks enter the scene.

So, um...are you gonna continue this? You really should.

I’ve just finished reading those, Oh, so good chapters of yours !

Your writing stile is pleasant to read , the descriptions are detailed in the right places

, and I really like Sephiroths “ discreet humanity “ thing , he is a character worth digging in .

No offense, but I was rather disappointed by this chapter. Not that it wasn't good, but it just flew by so quickly. Either that or I'm reading much quicker than before. Oddly enough, I couldn't help this at all. My eyes are doing something odd I presume. In before chapters, usually it takes me more than ten minutes to read but...

Maybe it was because Aeris was there, yes, that was it. Which you did lovely on her character no doubt. I can't say what else...

But good job, please hurry with this story then?

My sister (who uses the same computer as me) has already reviewed for Chapter 9 and won't let me use the same chapter, so here I am on 8. Though I'm reviewing 9.

So. First off: Aeris. I like how you've characterized her as a sweet, understanding girl, a little over-the-top in purity, though since this is from Zack's point of view, he's likely to exaggerate things a little. I like how she was almost saint-like when she kissed Zack the night that she helped the rape victim. Lastly, you did a good job showing how trusting their relationship is when Zack asked her for help with his "hypothetical" friend.

"Pride of the Seas" is a good, pompous name for a ship owned by the rulers of the world.

Great job building up suspence with the descriptions of Sephiroth's anger and predatoriness while Zack worked up the courage to speak to him. Zack's bravery in the face of certain, horrible, messy death never ceases to amaze me, and I love the apology line. Though not quite as much as his request for "pax".

My favorite line: "As the General had spun, he had felt, for the briefest of instants, the unmistakable touch of fingers in the palm of his hand." I nearly leaped out of my seat, cheering like a crazed soccer fan. Alarmed my dog to no extent, let me tell you.

There are two typos in here... let me find them again... Darn. I can't. Sorry. The first one was near the beginning of the Aeris scene, and the second was right before the Turk's scene.

This was an awesome chapter and I really enjoyed it. Good luck with your homework and your exams; I'll try not to chew my fingernails too much while I wait for the resolution of that cliffhanger you left us with. Have a great week!

Nice chapter.

Love it.

Good luck with the exams.

Very nicely written!

I enjoyed the conversation between Zack and Aeris. I loved how you used the "hypothetically speaking" phrase. It always makes me laugh out loud.

I had a funny image come to mind when Sephiroth’s strides seemed to be longer than usual. “Stop following me!” Sephiroth shouted behind him and ran away from Zack, his arms waving above his head. “What the?” Zack murmured to himself and stopped his jog to keep up with his General. He shook his head and decided he was dealing with a lunatic.

You can do it Zack! You’ll get through to him!

Good job, I look foreword to the next chapter. Have a nice day! Sayonara!

Woho an update! And a really good one too. Everyone is totaly in character and this story just gets better and better. )

A splendid fic! One which is rare to come across now days it seems _

It’s complete FLUFF I tell you! XD

One of the few rare fics where neither Zack or Sephiroth is depicted as some sort of sex gods…_”

Lurve it, absolutely LURVE your fic. Great style in writing as well. *thumbs up* Always adored the hidden story of Sephiroth and Zack’s close friendship.

Especially adoring how you portrayed Reno as some kind of agile monkey! That was amusing.

Hmm…not to mention how Sephiroth denies friendship or any form of contact…such pity and Zack tries to tend to him and try to crack open that nut shell he secludes himself away…*SIGH*

Hopefully Seph turns around and see what Zack is trying to do.

But nay! The tension builds as Seph rejects and threatens him. What will become of or valiant saviour Za- *gets shot at* _O

*cough*

In other words, I’m looking forward to the future chapters. OO

Work hard and fight against any evil writer blocks and other works!

GAMBARU!

This story is really good! I hope you find some time to update it soon. )

I love this, lovely yes it is... Just a nice sweet tale of how they met and... a nice little reason behind it.

No, I don't have the time to write you a long nice review that everyone likes but I apologize and maybe next time...

Please continue this, it's hard to find something this well written in FFVII especially when it's about Sephiroth and Zack. Though I don't like the President much...

But I have to ask, where is dear sweet Rufus?

Nice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I *love* your characterization of Zack. He's so human. His responses to the varying levels of horror and intrigue surrounding our favorite silver-haired cuckoo is very realistic. Great job!

Poor Zack. With each chapter, his opinion of his General undergoes massive renovation. I've also noticed a tendency to yo-yo between: "That guy is a creep! I hate him!", "Aw, he's nice once you get to know him", "He's a monster!", and "He's really messed up, yes, but he's also misunderstood". You make it really interesting, and I can't wait to see what the next revelation is.

The beginning is hilarious, as are the parenthetical notes upon entering the General's office. And the comparison of that room to a boiling vat of lava is perfect.

My favorite line: "Decorum, Donovan." I laughed out loud.

I like your comparison of Reno to a monkey. Did you see him in "Advent Children"? That's exactly what he looks like when he scales those walls!

I really enjoyed this chapter and look forward to the next- and Aeris' appearance! Yay! Have a great week, ja ne!

am loving it ... how things were before they started to be friends and all and bads things coming its way... very interesting indeed..

wow, love it.

Nicely written.

Poor Zack, getting scared out of his wits. It's kind of like the old saying, "Step into my office," said the spider to the fly.

Reno makes me laugh. It's not every day you see- or don't see- a Turk swing out a window and crawl down a tree like a squirrel.

Wonderful, I can't wait to read your next chapter! Ja ne!
