Cloud needs to get better because then he can actually listen when Seph and Zack are dropping all this info about SOLDIER and ShinRa and EVERYTHING. He's freaking missing half (two thirds) of all the important stuff!

This chapter wasn't 'filler' it was one big long tease! *pouts in corner*

Now that the whining is out of the way, this was a great chapter. Nice to see you're keeping Cloud human and not indestructable. I mean, he's pretty awesome already, he doesn't need to be cold-resistant as well. Unless, it's not just a cold...

The first part, with the 'Zack and Aeris is maybe ZackandAeris', was wonderfully evocative and descriptive for being so short. Wow.

...and the tentacle snuggle was perfect. (Yeah, Seph, he really, really likes you.)

Looking forward to whatever you manage to put out next. =]

So much is being said and poor Cloud is missing it. Of course, there's so much more that isn't being said and everyone thinks Cloud already knows it. :D

I'm honestly trying to keep Cloud from being perfect or anything. He's quite loveable as his adorkable, fucked up self.

lol Working on the next part. ^_~

This story just continues to get better and better, and that rising tension between the three main players is making my face heat up. Mmm... seriously, someone's gotta do something.

Aside from that, I enjoyed Vincent and Cloud's aside, and... like... are you implying that Vincent and Cloud are related? Because, you know, no one's ever done that before, I think, and that would be really frickin' awesome if you are. Not that this story would be any less great if Vincent isn't Cloud's father.

Also, Reno and Cloud's aside was just as kickass, since they're being themselves. Plus, any fic that features Reno or one of the Turks suggesting a position amongst their own to Cloud fills me with joy. There have been a few really good fics that involved Cloud accepting the offer and eventually working alongside Reno, and those were just awesome to read. Anyway, that's beside the point here, because this isn't about Cloud being a Turk. I digress... far too often

[tir_synni]

Well, technically, Zack and Sephiroth have already done something. :D

*laughs* Happy you're getting so much of a kick out of the characters/plot so far. I was kinda nervous about Reno...

Next chapter! YAY!! ^____^

I love the growing intimacy between Cloud and Sephiroth... and poor General, I think he doesn't quite know what to do with sick person (except to call Zack and fret a bit in his aloof way :P ).
The interaction between Cloud and Vincent is one of the highlights of this story - and now you added Reno too! The plot is more complex and interesting with every part.
I like in this fic that the reactions of the people in Shinra are so in character and plausible. I can imagine it taking place in the world of FFVII. :)

I can't wait for Zack and Sephiroth's reaction when they realize that Cloud is not on the same page as them. In fact, they should give him a title of the book and address of the library first. :P

Thank you for a quick update and another part of this story. ^__^

[tir_synni]

I try to ignore a lot what actually takes place in the world of FFVII. The Event that Cannot Be Named occurs in the game. *shudders* I do my best to pretend that it didn't exist.

Eventually, they'll figure out how lost Cloud is. Eventually. :D

Poor Cloud, he's just tired. Nobody gets him :P If he were more stubborn he'd be a brick wall...

And oooh, PLOT!!!

[tir_synni]

That phrase made me laugh out lout. Unfortunately, I was checking my email via phone at work. *coughs*

[ldyavalon]

I'm sorry!!!! *offers chocolate cake in compensation*

[wickedly_evil]

Ah, Vincent! I'm glad he's around. I'm getting my fics confused! And they aren't even similar, I need to reread this one.

I liked the tentacle pillow part. XD Aw.

[tir_synni]

*amused* Which fic did you mix it up with?

[wickedly_evil]

I don't know why, but Eir's Tomorrow. (I hope I spelled it right.) Maybe because Cloud and Vincent talk. I really hate when this happens...cause now I'm having trouble remembering that fic. lol.

And when I started reading Eir there was another fic similar in that Cloud goes bad in time. That totally screwed me up. XD This happens way too often for me.

[tir_synni]

Ack! Don't forget that fic! *shoos* Go read it for memory's sake. ^_~

There's possibly too many fics where Cloud goes back in time. Why is that? Because no one wants Zack to die... because Zack doesn't die! Screw you, canon!
