You know what? I'm quite sad that this seems to have been abandoned. It looks like it would have developed into something great ;_;

Ah, this brings back alot of bad memories... and some good. But I really liked how you expressed her exasperation and sense of helplessness, as well as the sadness that so soon turns to anger.

It is true what they say, there is a fine line between love and hate. And Tifa's just gone over the edge of anything involving love here, but I still get the impression there once was *something*. Maybe because she still cares enough to be angry at all.

I loved the way she reacted to his 'babe' comment, because I feel the exact same way. It really is patronising and don't think Tifa would be the sort of girl to appreciate it.

Reno playing clueless really tickled me. Because, no offence to any guy readers, but in my experience alot of them tend to do that. And I can picture Reno like that perfectly, he doesn't seem the sort to bother with things too much.

The way he acted so overly sweet until he realised he wasn't going to get what he wanted, made me want to hit him. You can imagine him being so nice to Tifa in the beginning, and then his truer nature being revealed, and by then she's trapped because of her feelings for him.

"And that was when I cursed and put my fist through the window."

I loved that. I really don't think Tifa's the sort of girl to take anything lying down. I like seeing her with a temper, she's not some syrupy, kiss-ass that couldn't win an argument if she she tried. She's tough and independent, but just like any other woman, her heart and head conflict at times.

The good memories it brought back? Accidently breaking my boyfriend's nose for a very large mistake on his part. That made me smile. (Not that I'm condoning violence ^^)

This certainly is an interesting story. I can’t even imagine where the creativity has come from, creating this alternate universe. I really liked the second chapter, since everyone was involved. Your portrayals of all of the characters are great, and I especially like Reeve. It will be so nice to see him in play a good part in a fanfic.

The third chapter was very interesting. It helps to see what Tifa is coming from, and the horror story (because I really thought it was) of her relationship with Reno. Their relationship has such real issues, it’s very believable. I found myself in that sort of a relationship prior to meeting my husband, and that will make it all the more interesting to see how things go with Reeve as I have this sort of experience. Always nice to relate.

Anyhow, I’m looking forward to reading more. I really admire your creativity, and that you can write so well in Tifa’s point of view.

Geez, the Reno and Tifa relationship hits a little home to me. I'd read the first two chapters yesterday in a fit looking over things . But this chapter really hit home for me. The everyday sort of bindings that people go through.

And I'm glad that you're getting somewhat out of your OTP. Nothing wrong with an OTP and we all have certain characters we love more than others, but there is so much POSSIBILITY out there. (says the girl that couldn't get over writing constant Vincent/Veld for like three months. I STILL haven't even posted everything from the thickest of that period because it is largely depressing)

I look forward to this fic probably more than your other fanfics as of right now. It's got Reeve! If I were a person of more talent, I would write him more. XD

Oh how many times have I held my breath when I became irregular? It's a very scary and sobering thought, thinking you might be pregnant with someone's child, whom you aren't sure you want to stick with.

Despite only having Tifa's thoughts in this chapter, I liked it very much. It's an insight into her mindset and explains how she's trapped herself so thoroughly in a relationship she knows isn't working. And yes, it's high time she faced the music. She knows she has to decide whether she wants to continue in the downward spiral or break free and it's a very difficult decision.

Some people don't understand that even if she's caught herself in a web, it's really not that easy to break free. One hopes she makes the right decision at least for herself and not for anyone else.

Yay, more Reeve next chapter. And maybe...Vincent too? I'm interested to see more interaction with Reeve and Tifa, but hey I can't help but want to see my fave man get some attention.

Oh, look at her justify him left and right! Can I choke her?

It seems as if she is blaming herself for the way he treats her. "His family likes me, so now he has no one to complain about me to, so that's why he got new friends and doesn't let me hang out with them" First of all, I am sad that she could even conceive that someone who supposedly loves her should NEED someone to whom he can complain about her.

There are some deep-seated self-esteem issues at work, and judging by everything she has done to be closer to Reno, I'd say she is in trouble. She has completely lost her identity to him, and it's not like she's not aware of it. She's afraid of having a permanent connection to him, for crying out loud!. I wonder how she will react when she finds that someone can treat her so much different from what she is used to.

You have a gift for exploring damaged psyches. You got me going on a psychology rant there, and that takes some skill. Unfortunately, the theme of this chapter is the sad reality of many women across the world. Quite a deep chapter, and like someone else said, it was a hard read. Your Tifa is so painfully honest about her mistakes, even if she is denying how wrong she is to continue. It's almost like listening to an addict justify their habit.

Hm. This is an interesting AU take on the characters- it feels a bit weird to see them all working in the same place, but that's because we're used to seeing them in much different situations. I have to feel sorry for Tifa, in such an awful situation, especially with someone as self-centered as Reno. The descriptions of the rest of the cast are spot-on- I love the idea of Vincent as an upscale businessman, it fits him well, and, well, you know I adore Reeve but he looks like he'll be fitting into the new environment quite well. And he may just be the antidote Tifa needs for Reno's poison 'love'. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses. :3

Honestly, I want to take your Tifa and shake her until her teeth rattle. It's so frustrating to see a woman like that, hung up on a guy, knowing she's making bad choices but choosing to make them anyway.

It was a hard chapter to read, especially that unexpected pregnancy part. Not because of the sensitive topic, but because she admits that she doesn't want Reno's child, yet she continues to stay with him. Hello? Do you listen to yourself, Tifa? I could kick her, but I know better.

Once again, it's a testament to your writing that you're able to elicit such a response from me. I can see how someone could easily fall into her same traps, get stuck in her same rut. I can hear Tifa's voice quite well in my head, unfortunately, and its resigned, passive-aggressive tone really does make me want to shake some sense in to her.

You know, she needs some Reeving. I need some Reeving. So update soon(ish)! ^_^

I've been wanting to read this forever, it sucks I got around to it just now.

AU is refreshing. So far, the characters seem fitting in their new roles: still maintaining some traits from the actual story, yet given a healthy twist to keep it fresh. You pulled off Reeve well, from the little I saw of him. In my opinion, you're on the right track.

The style of your writing is impressive...casual, yet able to bring across different feelings and situations without it reading immature or overly lighthearted. I like how it's first person, basically from Tifa's head. It adds spice to it.

Will be putting this on alert.
