Hoppy-chan 2008-06-02 ch 1,	abuseI'm in love with this, because things are resolved and things aren't resolved and everything is hinted at. It was a bit difficult to get through the beginning, but I'll chalk that up to me being tired. The rest, I sped through with an increasing sense of foreboding- and I was so, /so/ sure Tifa was going to die, so when she didn't I- hah, I could /cry/ I'm so happy. spins Thanks for the read.

Pied Flycatcher 2007-05-10 ch 1,	abusePretty good. :) I really liked your characterisation of Aerith, and you portrayed Tifa's insecurity very well too. The dialogue was very good - I wish there'd been more of it, in fact, because the first section which was purely narrative dragged slightly. The writing seemed a little dry, and I think it's because there needed to be more variety in sentence structure. There were a lot of very long sentences. It would read better if some of these were broken up, particularly in the first section. There were a few run-on sentences too, so again breaking them up would help. I really liked the scene about the five gil note. It's just like Aerith to be playful like that, so that part made me smile. I'm not sure why you sometimes wrote "..." though... If the characters don't say anything, there are better ways to indicate a pause than that. Still, this was well-written, if a little wordy, and I liked the bittersweet portrayal of their relationship. :)

sherwin 2007-05-02 ch 1,	abuseWow, it really amazes me the way you write. Just beautiful. A nice little one-shot that I enjoyed very much. Tifa/Aerith + happy ending = WIN! Thanks for writing!
Hofftailing 2007-04-30 ch 1,	abuse"It touched her dark eyes, lighting them up from behind with joy and even as her arms wavered and made ready to give up, she whispered: “It’s not alright.” And then collapsed onto the flower girl…but the sweet voice chased her insistently into the dark: “Good.”" Those lines right there conveyed so much pent up feelings. I thought Tifa wasn't going to make it, and I was all right with that. But happy endings are good too.
Silent Ee 2007-04-29 ch 1,	abuseI was getting all ready to pull that damn tissue box out again..and I wasn't helping myself either (Cowboy Junkies are NOT the music to read your stuff to) its good to see you back..and up to your old tricks again..what a nice roller coaster ride of emotions..and what an ending...just right..not all sappy rainbows..and bunnies. more real I liked that.
