This was a very well-crafted oneshot. Many thanks for sharing it. You are extremely talented with your words and fashion of story-telling. Hope to read more of your work!

That was beautiful. I mean...whoa. Beautiful.

Wow, this should so get more reviews. I feel that so many authors try so hard to sound intellegent that the story actually suffers from it. But you seem to have just naturally sound that way and the story was very well done. I love the Zack/Aerith pairing and this has to be one of the best I've read for it. If only more people would write some. Anyway, perfect story and I'd love more Zaerith storys from you in the future.

really enjoyed it

Lovely work. It's hard to find a good story like this in a one shot.

...The reason why people haven't reviewed this more? Answer: Stupidity. People seriously need to get their heads out of the OOC-super fluffy stories of Zeris and read awesome stories like this. I love how you wrote it. ^^ The detail was awesome, and the words were beautiful. It was different, but very wonderful. I do agree with punkiemonkie, though, with the fact that I don't think that their relationship was like that. I think it was less angsty. XD But if it was like this, you wrote it down-pat. I love this, and I'm definitely favoriting this. ^^

A plus plus plus~!

Whoa. This has got to be one of the most unique stories that I’ve ever read. It has a very nice poetic feel to it, and your imagery is simply beautiful, especially the way you appeal to the senses. I believe the line, “making her forget that air existed that didn’t smell like him” is what stood out to me the most. Granted, I don’t think that Aeris and Zack’s relationship was really like this, but it certainly is an interesting take on it, and an enjoyable one at that. You’re an amazing writer with some serious talent, so don’t get discouraged by the lack of reviews for this. Most people would rather read some cheesy, overly-romantic crap than a story like this with depth, which is a shame because this story deserves proper recognition. There is a severe lack of well-written Zack&Aeris stories on this site, but honestly, I think this has got to be the best. Amazing work, I look forward to reading more from you.

Wow--this piece has such strong, beautiful imagery that other writers would have to struggle for, but just seems to flow smoothly and organically for you. It honestly feels like poetry to me, it's that lyrical.

I love your descriptions of all Aeris's senses, but especially smell, which brings me to one of my favorite phrases: "making her forget that air existed that didn’t smell like him." Wow.

I can also appreciate a unique take on the Aeris/Zack relationship. Aeris's emotions are heavy and confused and widely ranged, just like they'd be in real life. And your focus on that all-consuming aspect of first love is really well done, and, I think, not OOC. Great job on this and I look forward to reading more from you!

This is a beautiful piece of writting, very poetic in a way. I can relate a lot to what Aeris feels, I think thats what gives it so much charm - its something many of us feel at some point.
Anyways, keep up the good work!

wow. This is really good, very different from other things ive read about them but still veryinteresting, fantastic imagery as always, and very sad. I really like the way you show their changing relationship, and the imagery that you use.
