Lovely =)

This was lovely.

Sweet, beautiful but not overblown. Exactly how Cloud & Tifa should be :) Excellent characterisation there.

"You missed" My favourite line ^_^

Wonderful job on catching the intimacy along with their characters perfectly. I have read many stories of them kissing and stuff but I believe yours is the most in character. The shy, the timidness, even the silence and simplicity, very well done.

Thanks for putting this up. Very enjoyable.

Oh my, that was so sweet and beautifully written. I totally loved it^^ Thanks for sharing!

so totally cute! well done!

The overall air with the setting and characters is very realistic that I can imagine this following straight from the movie. There wasn't a lot of talking and it was very subtle, but that's how I picture them in an non-alternate universe. There's a lot of mutual feeling and understanding without the romantic vanity and you've done that very well here.

I like how Cloud is already aware of his feelings about her but he's not all gushy and sappy about it. He's pondering the real questions and issues. And your writing style compliments this well. So when he blushed, I like how you didn't go on about how he's so surprised because he's always liked Tifa and has always daydreamed about getting a smooch and that he is only using his self-control to keep himself from squealing. If this wasn't a perspective from his head, he would seem like the stoic Cloud we see in the movie, yet his emotional reactions are very natural, and you know they aren't less deep.

This was very lovely, thank you.

I stumbled across this by accident and now I'm kicking myself for not finding it sooner. I usually don't get into this style of narrative but you wrote this extremely well and I was sad when it ended. I'd love it if you wrote more chapters or did a sequel!

nice..

My goodness...this is so sweetX3

Rather that hot steamy lime or lemon, i prefer this one. Your writing skill is amazing, it takes me venture on Cloud's mind. You potraying him superbly.

And i just love...LOVE how do you describe Tifa. I know theres 'something' on her smile. She has a smile that doesn't only soothe but also...SlyXD.

""You missed," she whispers."

That line is very Tifa...or its just my imagination? Whatsoever, it WIN my heart.

The best part is you could make a mature relationship like they always have. I agree they don't need flowers and wine, they just too long together that they know each other too well.

OMG, i love this. I will fav it. I will, thankyou for this beautiful one-shot.

Excellently written. I noticed somewhere that you used a ; where you should have used a :, but that's my only technical complaint. Nice job.

I feel like for a snatch of a look at what their relationship might be, this was wonderful. You had a lot of veiled imagery: the drawstring on the pants, the curtains, the listening through doors. And it reflected Cloud's thought process well.

I would have liked a look in Tifa's head to see what she was thinking because I couldn't tell and her response seemed a bit too eager given Cloud's stand-off-ish history, but that's just a personal opinion on her character. Besides the mystery fits with the veiling theme you have.

Also with the kids hidden and the words unspoken. Just a very nice job keeping the theme going. Every bit has it in it.

I enjoyed reading this for your words, and the ideas did not go unnoticed.

Thanks for writing!

*pleasant sigh* Lovely, as always. *heart*

This was a surprise, though! Definitely not an unpleasant one. Tifa is one of the few female anything-characters that I actually like. (In the game I would always try to win more points with Tifa than Aeris :P They need each other) Kudos to you for doing something different! Yet you still retained your amazing ability to pin down the characters just right :D

(Sorry, I've been away for a bit. I had my wisdom teeth out (yuck). I was fond of the little guys. The meds caused me to conk out early instead of getting my usual free time in the evenings. I'm back though! And I was very pleased to see that you had updated in my absence.)

Long review! I wanted to say more, but I am at a loss. I blame the meds.

Oh. My. Gawd.

This was just BRILLIANT. When I first saw Kaj's nomination of this story on Best Het at the Genesis Awards, I went "Kaj? Het? Could this be bribery?" But, as it turns out, it WAS bribery. By pure unadulterated amazing writing. :D

This was great from start to finish, poignant, flawlessly paced and a great story about picking up and continuing. You got their relationship in one and I loveloveLOVE it.

Please reward yourself. It was awesome.

Love and Cookies,

I was surprised when I read the summary, because it sounded so similar to my own fic I had just posted. I was just as surprised to see that some of the issues brought up in here almost directly mirrored those brought up in my fic.

...then I finished and I was so disappointed because this story is so much better than mine. :P

It was a very good read, and I'm glad I clicked on it. Thanks.
