wow this was really good. Tseng and Aerith/Airis are SO complicated to me! but i still like it

I always thought there was alot that could've happened between these two, and thought the more mature attitude Aeris had was fitting, seeing as how she'd lost Zack.
Also, it reminds me of how she and Cloud first met.. in a pretty rough part of town outside of what looked like a bar, if I recall correctly. Anyway, I really enjoyed it!

M... I like it when people get past symbolic!Aeris and write about girl!Aeris. Also props for David Bowie references, as I love him. And now that you mention the song it was inspired by, I can HEAR it.

Very nice, I like uncliched character and character relation sketches.

I think you wrote Tseng and Aeris very well! This is one of the best Tseng/Aeris stories I've read. Keep up the good work!^_^

Wow, I loved it! that was something else.

wow, i love the ending of this

The first scene really grabbed me, so well-written, a vivid look at the girl through Tseng's eyes. With some facts slightly left of canon, this makes an interesting dark twist to their relationship. If I had to pick a weak point I would say the middle 'mourning' rather missed Aeris' character or didn't take the time to develop such a change believably, but the final scene captures that sense of something not meant to be.

First review, yay!

This was incredibly well-written and perfectly on-spot character-wise. Tseng x Aeris... never really thought much of/about it, but you make me interested ^^ Jeez, this was written stupendously. Your description, your word choice, it's all in place. I'm very much in awe. It gives great perspective on the possibilities between Tseng and Aeris.

On a side note- you said "Warm brown eyes glittering" and Aeris has green eyes, which you mentioned as well later on in the fic. So perhaps it's a typo of sorts. And I actually don't think Aeris was informed of Zack's death, but that's a minor detail that doesn't bug down the fic at all.

Overall, marvelous job! Keep up the great work :)
