I just finished reading the latest chapter, I hope Vince is okay. Though I do love Chaos... he amuses me.

When I get really excited when I’m reading a story I tend to shriek, occasionally the suspense get’s to me and I have to walk around for a while before I can continue reading. By only the second chapter my vocal chords were sore and my feet were numb, this is my favourite pairing and you do such a great job portraying them.

I feel like I could explode from the joy-rush.

Ahhh! Warm fuzzies yay!

That was totally worth the wait. And I mean totally.

Will the 'Cid hearing Chaos' thing be something that will be fleshed out later? It's an interesting idea, and it's something that I fell in love with in this story. They almost share the same demons now.

Excellent that you got your muse back! It's very, very hard when it's lost, I should know. Mine has to bashed in with a great hammer and then chained to the floor for me to actually use it.

PS: Soulmates? Totally.

Curse my bad grammar, darnit...'it's unlikely THEY'D jump into bed whenever they saw each other' (*is faintly embarrassed*...I don't think I've spelt that word right)

Christ, it's been so long since I read this story...I had to read a couple of the chapters to remind myself what happened. But that also reminded me how good the story was ^-^
Hah, when I said their romance was almost obsessive, I didn't mean it in a bad way - to put it in more romantic terms, it's like Vincent and Cid are each other's world, and they couldn't live without the other. I don't reckon you should try to change it, it's just fine the way it is. In fact, I'd say this story is one of the best Valenwind fics I've ever read. There's a lot out there, and not all of them are good, but this one really stands out. Vincent is so perfectly in-character, and Cid (despite no swearing, which I don't really mind) is also nicely characterised.
And I have to say, I don't swear either. Or drink. Or do drugs. Never really saw the appeal, I guess.
Ah, I don't mind if there's not a lemon in each chapter (then it'd be in danger of turning into smut...which is fine on occasion, but I like a bit of platonic storyline too) Plus, Vincent and Cid are...well, not old, but not teenagers either, so it's unlikely they're jump in bed whenever they saw each other. From the looks of things, the sex might be put on hold for a bit what with Vincent's trauma (unless it's Magical Healing Sex...but that really only happens in badfic).
And so I repeat myself again: excellent! You took a while (has it really been seven months?!) but for the quality, it was worth it. I gotta say, I loved Cid's line: 'make sure it HURTS'.

I knew something bad would happen from the last line of the previous chapter, but I am so relieved that you contained the separation in one chapter. D: I worry for Vincent, but they will pull through! Really!

The chapter's quite good; it might be a bit fast-paced (though I read fast, so it might just be me).

Good luck with writing. :3 I know what it's like to lose inspiration - I didn't have any for my own Cid/Vin fic for months, but managed to write something last night, thankfully. :D It can happen! Somehow! XD

Frankly, adorable story. One of my favorites ever of Cid and Vincent, especially since I see Vincent topping for once, as in so many others, it's always Cid. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I still prefer Vin/Cid to Cid/Vin. Gives it a bit of spice to me.

Anyway, sweetest thing ever! Loved it to death! Hope you post again soon ^^

DWAH?! O.O

My brain has imploded...THE CUTENESS!! THE FLUFF!! THE LOVE!! IT'S FANTASTIC!!

I must say that these characters have certainly taken on a life of their own! It's a wonderful and engaging read! I am SO tired of reading this particular pairing in which Vincent, as the classic and ever self-loathing emo-kid, and Cid, as the gruff but somehow tender old lech, randomly decide to rut like rabbits! THAT doesn't make sense. THIS story does!! People tend to overlook the simple fact that true, tangible, unconditional love can do wonders for even the most EMO of people!! Especially when that love is nurtured in a healthy and open relationship. THANK YOU!! I must admit that these characters are not the same ones from the game. Admittedly, the Cid and Vincent we have all come to love, know, and stereotype them as are flat, boring, and predictable compared to the fleshy characters you've created here! I like yours better! It's like they're REAL people! It's an amazing and well appreciated evolution. As I said to my best-friend turned husband:"It's like Vincent got the stick pulled out of his ass!" YAY!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful and refreshing piece! I LOVE it!! It's not about the sex, it's not about seme and uke, it's not about angst and drama. It's about the characters and their love for each other, through the amazing and the mundane. I await the next update!! ^_^

Another nice chapter. The sex was hot, and Cid's voice was *perfect*.

As for the wait, you know what they say. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Beyond true in this case.

I just about died of squee when I saw your email, and the chapter was just as fantastic as I hoped. The sex was really well-written in terms of both grammar and description; having Cid's POV makes it even better. The 'story' was /great/ - so not the thing you'd expect from Cid, yet it fits. The way you had him say 'time passed' was very well-executed, and I loved the details. I sense angst on the horizon, but if the eventual end is happy for them, I'm okay with that.
...man, this fic is SO going to be highlighted in the Valenwind fic archive as one of the very best.

(blinks) Everything went wrong? What goes wrong? I must find out what goes wrong!
...That translates to 'update soon, damnit!' by the way.
Vincent and Cid's relationship is so cute! It's nice how Cid accepts Vincent for everything that he is: demons, claws, glowy-eyes and all. Of course, it turns out he;s no stranger to the rougher side of things - nice character building there, if a little unexpected. Guess even Cid has his quirks.
Anyways, great chapter, and did I mention how good you are at writing lemons? Waaaay good! You had better not keep me waiting for so long this time!

This is probably my all-time favorite Valenwind fic, or at least close to it - and mind you I've literally read dozens of them. In this fic you combined two of my favorite things: CidxVincent and fluff. I'm a sucker for fluff, so this is just perfection. There are some mistakes, but I honestly don't care because this is extremely well-written and the plot is peerless. By the way, if you're ever having trouble with what to write or anything, email me - I'd be more than happy to help with such a magnificent fic. Perhaps my favorite thing was Chaos's speech pattern - so oddly fitting. I'd say more, but this is really long, so... yeah.

Holy crap. This is one of the BEST fics I have EVER read! Not only because having Cid uke to Vince is beyond hot and feels so right. Not only because the idea of Cid kinda flirting with pain is hot. Not only because you wrote Cid's POV like you were channeling him perfectly and clearly. Not only because their love was realistic and not just sissy fluff (as opposed to your authentic fluff). It's all those things and SO much more! I had to finish reading this all in one sitting, because I just could not stop. I've been trying to read as many C/V fics as I can since the summer after FF7 was released, and yours was a beautiful discovery, and quite the pleasure to read! My only complaint (which really isn't a complaint, more of a request) is that you might one day have a fic on details for Cid's almost-addiction to the Regen materia? The way he phrased it, especially about how he suspected Vince knew, really intrigued me. I would love to read about them talking about it and whatnot. Also, yes, like I said, it was SUPERBLY HOT. Not gratuitous in the slightest, and romantic in the way those two boys worked with it. THANK YOU for taking the time to write such a fascinating and well crafted fanfic

Hiya! Just been reading the story - took me nearly two days, but I'm glad I read it. I LOVE the way you write Vincent, he's completely and utterly in-character. Cid is...well, he's not as foul-mouthed and gruff as I usually like him, but still very good. The relationship between the two is very interesting - almost obsessive, really. But then again, I've always said there's a fine line between passion and obsession, and that doesn't just apply to relationships.
You're also extrodinarily good at writing lemons - I think it's because you incorporate desire into it, not merely XXX porn. I think the S&M thing was pretty good too - I'm not into pain or likewise either, but you pulled it off well. It seems like...I dunno, the sort of thing Vincent might try, to confront his own inner demons, if in a somewhat forceful manner. But then, Vincent doesn't seem the sort of character who would do things half-measure.
Since the story isn't finished yet, I'd appreciate it if you could email me when you update - just so I know to read the next chapter - and review as well, obviously. If that's not too much to ask, of course...
