Aww, that's our Zacky. Making choices and believing and sticking to them. ♥ Not to mention that getting to know Cloud was probably the best choice he ever made. :D

I love the last bit of this. It sound so final if you think of that horrible Crisis Core ending of doom, but at the same time, it sort of makes me wonder what other choices Zack would've made had he lived. Would he have totally done that mercenary business, or would he have ended up with AVALANCHE? Because well, let's face it, they're both destined to be heroes. They're just epic like that.

And now I'm rambling, but it's all good! \o/
Lovely fic. ♥ Oh Zack. *flail*

It's okay hon, I like it when you ramble.

Yeah, it wasn't the happiest thing I've ever written, which is funny since the bouncing on the bed once was written after it. Like I literally got done writing this and was like "Must go write something happy now! Must not think about Zack dieing!!!!!"

And they are completely epic like that. Their Clack. I mean come on even that name is epic.

Thank you sweetie. I know you've been avoiding the whole mess of the dieing scene, so next time I'll add like a warning on top for you.

"Attention R.S. Do not read this. Contains the scene of DDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!"

Awww! See, it's good to have balance, especially with this pairing. They need lots of happy fluff balanced with their inevitable angst. ♥ Plus, it's hard to think about Zack's death that totally doesn't happen when he's jumping on the bed. xD

Y'know, even if you did put that warning up, I'd probably read it anyway. xD I love your writing THAT much! ♥

[hollow_strife]

Aw thank you sweetie! But you know, I'll ninja a warning in there somehow.

It is good to have a balence. Today I went and wrote the cutest thing I could think of, just to counteract all the angst.

And Zack's death doesn't happen. Whatever are you talking about? We all know he really ended up surviving and is now liivng in Edge with Cloud, happily ever after style.

^^ - a truly lovely introspective look at Zack's thoughts and motivations. Aww man and now you've made me want to go back and play Crisis Core all over again XD.

[hollow_strife]

Aw thank you very much! And any time I can be held responsible for more Zackness is a time I am proud of! LOL But I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Zack's exactly the type who won't regret the decisions that have taken him down his route in life. He broods sometimes, but his eyes are always looking forward. He's the best type of person to be around, I think.

And his relationship with Cloud has gotta to be one of the things he'll definitely never regret~ ♥

[hollow_strife]

That's exactly what I was thinking as well. Zack just seems like one of those people who you would just love to be around, no matter what.
