Hi! So yeah! Pretty interesting story you got going on here, have to say there really aren't enough Reno fanfics in the world especially ones that legitimately try to pair him with Cloud. I'm intrigued to see what you do! More so I want to say THANK YOU for the Timeline! I myself get a little irritated when people throw out various ages for the characters sometimes, most the time I overlook it because Final Fantasy VII is such a complicated story that I can understand if people get lost about the details but I personally always really keyed into the fact that Cloud & Tifa were only 21 and 20 during the events of the Game, especially because I looked up to Tifa as a role-model. So with the confusion of various fanfictions & the films/ sequels I found myself gettting mixed up in the math! And it was all just a frustrating mess especially because i'm trying to write a new crossover with cloud & anyway this TIMELINE/ THE Online Website reference was a huge boon & a HUGE HELP! THANK YOU SO MUCH! AT LAST CLARITY! THANK YOU!

I started reading this and followed in Dec '15, almost 30 days to the year after the last installment. Im kinda disappointed because your law A/N said it wouldn't be long till the next chapter and i have been looking forward to it...please don't abandon this story, i really enjoy it. It has so much potential and i would hate to see it get left behind to "gather dust".

Can't wait for the next chapter. I don't know why I passed over this fic for so long but I am so glad that I finally gave in a read it. I love Reno and Cloud together can't wait to see the dynamic with Zack thrown in. Keep up the great work.

I look forward to the next chapter and I look forward to Zack because Zack is awesome *_*

and even if it is the noble thing to die for your friend, I found it hard that he had to die nonetheless.

I can understand where Reno comes from but it's wrong that he keeps Zacks return to himself and it's the same for the others because in the process they're hurting the person they desperately want to be safe.

There is an official FFVII timeline? Brilliant, iv always needed to figure out ages. I was sure Aerith and Zack were the same age, same with Cloud and Tiffers. Anyway I am reading the fic and so far its very interesting! I feel so bad for Cloud... I cry too when stressed ToT. Ahhhh anyway imma go back to reading. Laterz

oh things are about to get interesting, i wounder how this will play out. update soon please :)

This is getting exciting. I'm really looking forward to Cloud and Zack's reunion. I wonder how Cloud will react. I really feel for Reno though. He's finally found some peace only for it to be ripped away.

Omg, Cloud loves Reno! What's going to happen when Zack returns? I can see Cloud getting confused for a bit, well, I know that they will ended up together anyway, so please update soon.

OMG! I love it! Sooo happy for Reno and Cloud! So sad for Reno's struggles though! Can't wait for the next update!

I can't wait to see the drama when Zack comes! Especially now that he remembers everything and Cloud just confessed to Reno! Let the drama begin! But...I wonder what Zack's mission is? How he will rescue Cloud and from what?
I really liked that small part with Zack and Aerith...it was really sweet part, plus, it showed Aerith wanted Zack to move on and wasn't mad for him which is good thing, because she is usually so understanding. So, now that Zack has even her blessing it's time to move on!
Hah! I knew Vincent&Reeve would happen. xD It was cute how Vincent was having teenager problems and such while thinking what Reeve meant, lol. xD Yosh! All pairings are wrapping up nicely together in this.

I was planning on waiting another chapter to do this, but I got impatient. I’m glad you considered some of my recommendations. It’s your story and what you think and envision is law, but the fact that you actually considered what I had to say makes me feel like putting out reviews like these is worth it, even if you hadn’t taken any of my advice. Usually, people just yell at me.

With that said, there’s been a huge improvement these last few chapters. I purposely made myself stay quiet to give you some time to figure out what you wanted to do and try some ways to get there. And during that time, you’ve managed to keep with your idea of playing around with multiple characters and plotlines and still move the plot every chapter. And you’ve moved the plot at a satisfactory level each time so that the wait didn’t feel as long. We’re finally getting to the point of the story that involves the summary, and in a few chapters, it sounds like we’ll finally get to that promised love triangle.

Congrats!

Now, I guess I should share some of my thoughts on the actual content since my last review, huh?

Well, let’s see…Cloud and Reno are still cute, and it’s nice to see some stability finally arriving in that relationship. I hope Rufus works himself out because Reno’s got enough in his hands with Cloud. He doesn’t need Rufus turning into a mental case on top of it. My favorite scenes, because I’m stupidly biased seeing as he’s my favorite character, are of course the Zack ones. Watching him try to figure things out is both amusing and depressing. Hopefully, he starts getting his head straightened out so he can leave the lab.

I have to admit, I’m slightly disappointed that Zack didn’t get a hold of Cloud on the phone. I thought up a bunch of fun scenarios of how that would go in my head while waiting for this most recent chapter. Still, can’t blame Reeve for wanting to protect Cloud, or for not paying someone else’s phone bill. Doesn’t mean I’m not anxiously awaiting the moment the two finally get in contact.

And of course, Reeve’s over protectiveness of Cloud is warranted. Cloud’s too unstable to care for himself half of the time. He doesn’t need someone who’s not all mentally there to come along and complicate things. I feel that spending time with Cloud would probably be the best way for Zack to straighten things out, but that would have him heavily relying on Cloud while he’s getting himself in order and I doubt Cloud could handle having to carry both of them.

But just because I can rationalize it, doesn’t mean I have to like it *pout*

Anyway, good job on the recent chapters and good job on improving the pacing of this story. I’m really enjoying where this is going and look forward to future installments.

So far so good! I can't wait till you post the next chapter.

I love this fic. You've done an amazing job with all the characters - the interactions between Rufus and Reno, especially (it can't be easy to write that relationship)!

I can't wait to see how Zack decides to move forward with everyone blocking him from reaching Cloud!

I want to know all dirty details about Reeve's and Vincent's conversation! xD *Gets shot.* Erm, so yeah...it seems like those two are together, which is nice. I mean, just like Zack's inner thoughts pointed out they seem to balance each other. But...why you're making Zack a such jerk? Dx I hope he will get himself sorted soon (like Reeve), so he will return to Zack we all know and love...he is kind of giving this jerkish feeling at the moment...I SO can see him jailbreaking out of WRO. xD That whole thing about his phone bills not being paid? Pfff! What you can expect after you've been 'dead' for so long? But yeah...I didn't see that coming because it was just too...logical. (Usually fanfictions lack somewhat logic, so yeah.)
Awww! That scene with Yuffie and Tseng. I'm happy you're giving them screen time and I'm happy they FINALLY did admire to each other there are feelings between them. Just cute.
The ending part where Rufus just went mad made me feel REALLY sorry for him...he seemed quite desperate. I just hope Cissnei won't chew off Reno's head if she comes inside and sees the mess...Reno just tried help. Why you're making Rufus too jerk? Dx So much jerkiness going on this chapter, plus f-and l-words. But luckily the whole Rufus/Reno thing got now addressed and Reno kindly told his boss man not to be touchy with him. But still...I'm not overly happy about the upcoming Rufus/Cissnei pairing. (I just don't like them, even you're portraying Cissnei in this quite wonderful person, no hard feelings.)

OMG. I love it, love it, LOVE it! Please tell me there'll be more? *puppy dog eyes*
