Dang it! Cliff Hanger at an intense moment!
I am definitely ready for the next chapter!

I like this story! Aerith is a great character with all her pros and cons. I really hope you will continue updating!

Servants of the Cetra. be funny if shiva can't fight Aerih.

really enjoyed that chapter, bring on the next one.

The plot thickens... okay not really. As of now, it's going exactly as expected. I mean, as expected on a world where both BC and CC mix. There are plot points and paralels everywhere, which makes it enjoyable to read however, what sells this as of now is Genesis. He always seemed the "solo" kind of guy and I can almost bet he already has a plan that hightlights that. I really doubt he'll be part of AVALANCHE for much longer.

I've been pondering just who Aerith reminded me of and I've finally realized it. It's Lightning... done right. As in, they share the same general idea, and the concept is good, but much like XIII, Lightning is like giving the concept to Lord of the Rings to a group of monkeys. It just won't work. Aerith on the other hand, is just enough humane and has the appropriate backstory to not sound like... well like a bitch. So props to that if that's where you were coming from.

The origin of the Ravens has now been unveiled, and I think we all know that Hojo is the one that is in contact with AVALANCHE.

I just power read this whole story. I think this is such a unique concept! You have a very engaging writing style, and dialogue and characterization (the traditional ones) are spot on. I love this exploration of Aerith's less than perfect side, especially her struggle with the ideals of "heroism" and her dynamic with precrazy Sephiroth. Don't get discouraged with this story! I'm definitely hooked.

That's one weird way to wear her ribbon, won't lie.

Anyway, what's constantly making me like this fic more and more is how it shows that it's own thing. Not a CC re-write, and not a BC re-write. I guess Aerith will be 1st Class in a chapter or two and if it wasn't Zack, I'd say that would create a rift between the two, but it's Zack, he's not someone to care about that.

What I'm really interested is how you'll show her powers as they were... barely touched in VII for reasons related to certain aliens, we all know Holy, but what else can she do? That's the question. The possibilites aren't exactly few.

Anyway, as dissapoiting as your following seems to be right now, I can't say anything but "keep trying". You struck gold once, maybe you may just find it if you continue to dig more and more.

good chapter. pleased to see this continued was concerned was abandoned..

sad to see Aeriths carefree attitude is all but gine maybe it'll start to develop and the Aerith we know and love will shine through.

Zack was probably expecting her to put it in her hair. However, this Aerith is moody and difficult for most people to be around, so it's only natural for her to put it on in a different way.

this is shaping up well. will Aerith discover the church and hear the planet then join avalanche or wait till sephiroth gives crazy kill him then join Barrett's avalanche with cloud.?

where'd you get that 5 foster from sounds interesting. . this story is promising I recognised ch2 but probably just as its a take on the crisis core opening and other writers have used it in their stories. .

quite interesting start. I am kicking myself for not reading this week's ago.. will read chapter 2 later today.

Looks like things are really starting to go Aerith's way now.

About time she got out.

Again, your Sephiroth is by far more enjoyable to read than that... mess of a character the very depths of video game developing hell have spewed. Yes, I hate Sephiroth with a passion, but for all the wrong reasons.

Conecting Genesis with AVALANCHE, that's the most interesting part. Waiting for the unavoidable Elfé Vs Sephiroth. Even if it ends in a draw... Mostly because that's the closest thing Pre-Nibelheim Seph had to a massive failure.

Well now. I read both 5 and 6 in a row and I was not disappointed. The timeline seems different but it adds to the fun.
Actually making the Pres likeable is wierd, but we didnt need two hojos so makes sense.

This seems THE catalyst to make things heat up so
I'll be waiting.

Nice Cloud cameo BTW.
