Pretty solid story AU! Just some grammar mistakes here and there. I hope you can finish this someday, if you want to. Thanks for writing this. I had fun reading.

Been rereading all my FFVII stories and this one had me hooked all over again. Can't wait to read the rest!

Oooh this new chapter was really nice and still very action packed! I really really like the relationship that goes on between Tifa and Zack, and poor Zack with his Geostigma. He does hid so much.

I will say though I did get a little confused when voices or thoughts were talking for there wasn't any quotes or italics. Maybe it just me, but it makes it a little hard that way to figure out until reading the entire sentences. But again maybe it just me.

Either way I really really like you idea and I cannot wait to see how it ends!

Oooh my so much tension and action in th is chapter. I love it all and ooh not poor Cloud though but also poor everyone. They all are suffering but I can't wait to see what goes on next!

I'm always in for Zack lives AUs and BOY this is quite the fic so far! But ooh man i didn't expect Cloud with a side affect like that but it is really interesting for sure! Can't wait to keep on reading

I'm a new reader! I love the dynamic between Tifa and Zack. Can't wait for your next update!

Great fic, the 10 year or so gap in updates was also a highlight luckily I only started reading this a few days ago so I didn’t have to wait. But thanks! Made me laugh, had small feels in the right places and made me really sad about Zack dying all over again Ty!

An update? Hell yes! I admit I did give up on it (which didn't stop me from re-reading this fic (a few times) every time I was struck by FFVII mood) so you can't believe my delight at being proven wrong!

So exciting as well! I picked up on the foreshadowing that Cloud was the one to kill Aerith, but I somehow failed to consider the implications for Cloud's state of mind, which is, as per usual, already pretty messed up. But I also enjoyed his pov a lot because, messed up or not, Cloud keeps moving. Have I also said yet that I really adore the direction you make Cloud's development take? He's not Zack 2.0 while Zack is alive, and instead picks up Aerith's unfinished task. I really, really love that.

Thanks for writing and not giving up on this!

Golly. I never thought I'd see this again. With Remake on the horizon this'll be a trip to re-read.

An update! I could hardly believe it. And I enjoyed it! It flowed very nicely. 10 years until the next chapter? ;)

Holy shit please tell me you have at least some more written out or at least ideas because this is great and I want to know more and I really like this and this isn't as monotonous as many other zack lives fic. You a good writer

This is such an awesome fic, with an interesting premise - I love how it's not just Zack pasted on top of Cloud's canon actions, but that they've both been greatly altered by Zack's survival. I don't know if this will be updated again, but what you've written so far is quite excellent, and I'd love to see more.

Oh. Wow. This is so amazing, I don't even know where to start. Or what to say. It's like taken from an alternate universe and written down. Everything fits so perfectly and beautifully and just - amazing!
That characters, the issues, the interaction, the action, the background, the countless little things that give breath to a fic, the changes from canon. Everything. This shot totally up my favourites list from the very first chapter. It's one of the best fics in the entire fandom, on par with The Fifth Act!
It has me giddy and smiling and biting my nails and fidget in excitement and...it's such a shame that you have abandoned this. A real disappointment. Depressing. *sigh*

Heeyy, so I read your little snippet of "part the third" on livejournal /they're after Jenova's head/ and I just wanted to say it was wonderful and I'm looking forward to the rest whenever it comes! No rush. Genius takes time. Thanks for the cool preview, though, I appreciated that. ;)

Oh, that was beautiful. You are a fantastic writer. I love how Cloud and Zack interact, and how you twisted the plot around just right to make it work. The actual quotes tie the plot back into canon, and your spelling and grammar are pretty much flawless. I think. How you write Kadaj is great; you manage to portray the insanity and self-doubt he has in a way that contrasts beautifully with the other characters. Cloud/Aerith is intriguing; Cloud's desire to help others melds with Aerith's magic to create a character that's like, a badass healer. I hope you regain your muse soon. Real life is quite annoying, isn't it?
