Heh, wow... You know that fangirly, fluttery feeling one feels when someone they totally adore comments on their work? *♥ you*

Thanks, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

and show Cloud in his true, deranged colours, that make me remember why I love this ship so much.
Deranged Cloud is, indeed, ftw.

Thru the whole thing, I'm remembering that scene. And thinking: What could he be looking for? Was it the valuable crystal that fell into the lake? Was it something else that I didn't see? Damn! It never occured to me he'd be looking for that bit of pink ribbon.

Great piece! I think I stopped breathing in there sometime and when I got to the last line Whooosh! You got me, kiddo. Very powerful.

Damn! It never occured to me he'd be looking for that bit of pink ribbon.
I was afraid the title would've revealed it, but I'm glad it didn't. >D

Thank you! You know I love your work, Miko, so hearing this totally made my day!

Not knowing much about FF of any version, that was still a good read.

Is it bad I wanted to laugh at the image of Cloud searching for the ribbon through the bits of the Carcass of Whatnot? 'Nothing behind a pound of flesh, either'. Lovely. :D

[seiza]

Wai, thank you for reading! Even though this isn't your fandom. *hugs*

No no, I was definitely hoping someone would get my morbid sense of humour with that line. XD And in case you're curious, the Carcass is from the monster boss that Cloud & Co. have to fight immediately after Aerith's death.

Everyone carried them now, perhaps to make them feel useful; all these medicines she had collected and scrounged and saved across their travels but then died anyway.

Ugh, I felt so sad at this sentence, it's so powerful!

I LOVE this fic - this is why you must go back into writing more fanfics!!! It's so real the way you describe the kind of silence after a death where everyone feels arkward and nobody knows what to say, or if anything should be said. LOVE IT. Write more! xD

[seiza]

Ugh, I felt so sad at this sentence, it's so powerful!
*cackles* I like torturing them with every reminder of Aerith. Thanks!

I thought the total lack of words added to the beauty-- but also heaviness-- of Aerith's burial. Even when she died, it was fast and wordless and cruel.

I'm so glad you liked this! God knows I've promised fics before and haven't delivered. :P

mikononyte pointed me towards this. It was so wonderful to read! The whole time I was wondering if he was looking for either the ribbon or the materia. I'm glad it was the ribbon, or else he'd probably have gone overboard trying to find the materia.

[seiza]

Ah, now I'm imagining everyone holding Cloud down as he tries to swim for the materia... XDDD

Thanks Aries, I'm glad you liked it!
