Now that is fascinating. I adore that you took on two characters you've never written, and because of this stayed out of the cliches that sort of make me avoid stories like this normally. I wouldn't have read it for not your note at the end (one can only handle so much emo!Vincent stories and either young!Tseng (look at Before Crisis stories and you'll know what I mean) or heartless!Tseng stories before they burst).

Mini-rant aside, I like that you went all Turk in this. I like italic voice a lot, I'm horrifically fond of characters that have past/present overlaps like that.

It’s been an embarrassingly long time since Vincent’s done this, and he fumbles-

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IN A LINE LIKE THAT. People are not sex gods! I love you lots for that!

But I'm very glad that I took a chance on this. You pulled it off well, un-cliched, and without PWP. You need an internet.

Wow, thank you so much for this comment!

I'm a hardcore rival shipper *cough*Sephiroth/Cloud*cough* and this pairing definitely shoved me outside my comfy box- had to look up the script to see if Vincent and Tseng could have even met in-game (and also re-familiarize myself with those characters... all fifteen lines between them XD).

Heh, I tend to stick my fingers in my ears and go 'lalala' about anything relating to the whole Compilation business. Emo!Vincent, huh? Definitely broody, and not one to let stuff go, but no way is he emo.

Italics, I could not exist without my italics. ♥ Glad that they worked for you and I didn't go overboard on them.

Sex god? Oh my, not somebody who's been stuck in a coffin by himself for all those years.

My own internet! *frames*

That was great, I love it! Where to start...

I think you did an awesome job, especially considering you haven't written either of them before. I love that you avoided Vincent angst, which there is way too much of out there, and i don't see him being like that at all. I think it's great how your Tseng isn't cold and closed off either.

The Turk connection is great too, and it's interesting how Aeris views it differently, being an outsider and all, i really liked that.

A few other things I also thought were great were the reference to Wutai, refugees and the war, the look of not quite fear in Tseng's eyes just before Vincent changes and flies, clumsy, self conscious sex, and Tseng not wanting Vincent to remove the claw, cause that's just hot. I see Tseng as being a little masochistic and liking the feel of the claw on his skin.

Thank you so much! ^_^

I'm sooo relieved that you liked it. ^^

There'll be none of this Angsty McPants Vincent here, hehe.

o_o

You picked up on so much stuff that I tried to put in and thats is, indeed, very awesome.

You're very much welcome and thanks for the prompt. :D

Oh, purr. It has been a surprisingly long time since I've read any form of FFVII fiction but I really enjoyed this one. I personally really enjoyed how the past and present blended together in this fic. Given the fact that it's told from Vincent' point of view, it makes sense.

I liked the quiet nod towards Aeris and Elena in this one. They didn't need to be too present but, at the same time, it felt right that they were there.

I think that my favourite part of this story might be the odd little details that you pick up on. The way Aeris bit her lip, the way Cloud's eyes were roving in the Temple... The attention to the odd minutiae suits Vincent.

And the moment where Vincent flew? Yes. Just, yes. XD
