I LOVED it that they were so secretive that even we (the readers) did not suspect a thing.
I in any case did not.
They are a lovely couple.

I like the name Sinclair. Perhaps Fair is a title that he earned within the World of this story. I think it fits him!

This is beautiful. Congratulations on a most satisfying fic.

Maybe do an extra scene? cough bedroom cough... if they make it that far!

I love the Trump dig! Made me laugh so hard!

I read this story twice in a row, that’s how much I truly enjoyed it! Thank you so much for writing this. I definitely recommend it to anyone that’s looking for some decent entertainment! You are really spot on with the characters as well! Great job!

First of all, I truly want to thank you for writing and sharing this story.
Given the word count and the details and effort that clearly went into it that clearly must have taken a lot of time and dedication. And it is much appreciated, because I honestly can only say that I loved the result and was immensely fascinated with the ideas and chanegs that this unique scenario presented. I spend basically all weekend reading this and I had a great time seing the world both of you shaped. I don't think I can put into words how deeply I was lured into this setting and just how much I enjoyed reading chapter after chapter.
And damn, was I unprepared for that mentor-student-family-friend bond thing that Vincent and Cloud shared in this. I had no idea I'd fall in love with that idea as much as I did or that I would get that much joy out of it. Which...ironically ended up being the one thing that I ended up feeling this story fell short on, in the end. About halfway through the story there seemed to be a shift and there was less of that in favor of other, equally importand and interesting relationships and topics that needed to be explored and that I wouldn't want to miss reading about and yet I wanted more of that one particular bond; the one only possible in this one, specific setting and now that I've come to the end of the story, that is the only thing that left me unfulfilled and unable to find...well, not closure, but something along those lines. I kept waiting for that one extra step; that one bit of aknowledgement, that one bit of honesty that never came. So I can't wholeheartedly saythat I loved everything about this, due to my own expectations set into place by myself, for something I never even considdered or would have looked for before reading this story. (But damn did I end up wanting to read more of it! I still haven't gotten quite over the fact that this story is concluded and that I won't be able to see more of it. XD')
But I can't find any other, perhaps more legitimate, fault in this story. And I truly did enjoy the time I spend reading it. I am glad I did and I have no doubt that this will be one of those stories that will stick with me; that I'll think back on in years to come as something memorable and important.
And for that, I am gratefull.
Thank you.

There's something that's bugging me.

I find Cloud awfully naive for someone who's supposed to have been trained by Vincent. It baffles me that Vincent didn't even try to make him mature a little on the principle of "propaganda". It's a little worrying and it feels like a waste of time if Cloud is still as stupid and ignorant as in canon. And there's still the problem with his mako sensibility. I'm not sure if I want to read all of this just to see him fail his soldier exam.

It seems like he will receive a big reality check that a "certain" person could have given him sooner. Like a bashing in waiting. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm going to correct you whenever I damn well feel like it man.

Nooo! You messed up Zack's name!

This, I enjoy. Read more, I must now.

Awesome

Thank you for the great story! I was wondering why you went with Sinclair as Zack’s surname? Is this an AU? Is Reno and Zack related? I am curious why you chose it over Zack Fair?

The extent of the divergances was far reaching and multicharacter focused, and you pulled it off amazingly!

Enjoyed this story quite a lot, wish there was more CloTi though.
