I'm a major shipper for Tifa and Cloud, but this made sense. I hated how Cloud was always so absolutely, damn CLUELESS and completely thougtless on how Tifa felt. He was moping for Aeris this and Aeris that... and well, that just irritated me... not because of Aeris, since I love the ancient, but for the fact that he was like all those men out there who expect to waltz out, go "find themselves" and then waltz back. Loved it!

I don't know, I think that this is plausible. I'd like to see some development of the relationship between Tifa and Rude... but I'm sure that after all that Tifa did to help Cloud, that kind of betrayal - not even saying goodbye, leaving without any real intention to come back, it must've seemed - would've been close to the last straw. And she did go out and search for him; it'd be another thing entirely to say that she'd just given up on him the moment he'd left. I liked the story.

This story Fucking would'nt just forget about Cloud like that!

Replay the game a few more times and maybe just maybe you'll get it in your retarted head that this story is nothing but a load of !

Normally, I'm a huge Cloud/Tifa Fan. but I've got to be honest here...this made sense, and as a result I hate it and love it at the same time. Nice work.

You're right, I would chase you down the street with a board and nail if I could, but since that's probably illegal...The story absolutely sucked, it's a shame that you're such a good writer. I'm sorry, but Tifa would have waited, and no way would Cloud have left in the first place. It's a good style of writing though.

This rocks ! Serves the pointy head geek right. You're one of the best fanfic writers out here. Keep up the good work.

Even if I am a Tifa and Cloud fan I think you are right about the revenge part. He deserves it the way he treats Tifa in the game!_~

I agree. Cloud was a real jerk to Tifa at the end of the game. But still, Tifa never really had the guts to tell Cloud, and he did think that Aeris could be found. So could you really blame him? I like the way this story was written though.

personally, i loved this fic. i'm happy that it's being promoted more on the web, because it deserves it. i am probably the biggest tifa fan, and this fic totally got me. it shows that no one can wait forever, and that consequences come with showing up too late... keep it up. and yes, cloud is an unsensitive weenie!

Very good. Tifa's not my favorite, but she can do better than Cloud. And thanks to you, she did. Oh, and all those silly stories where Tifa either pines away or Deity help me, suicides over Cloud, how out of character can you get. Your story is the antidote.

*sniff*...good for Tifa...this just made me hate Cloud even more than I already did, and made me realize that he's not just the cold hearted selfish piggish bastard, sided off with an unrivalable stupidity, he is also uncaring for anyone else, and is a cold and mean person. Truly, Cloud Strife is the true villain of Final Fantasy 7... four out of five stars

Stupid Cloud. Giving up Tifa like that and expecting to have her wait for you. Anikka gave him what he had coming. Great story. I give it a 10.

Both: Swwweeeeet! That kicked ass!

I like it! I don't like that fact that Cloud and Tifa didn't stay together, but I like the fic. _~

I...I am one of the biggest Aerith fans out there. Heck, when I learn how to, Im gonna start and Aeris/Quistis shrine. But this fic...It was...awesome. I think that Cloud should have gotten with Aerith, but he didn't. She died at the hand of that $# $# Sephiroth. This is a slightly diffrent Cloud though in your fic. It was nice seeing how Tifa got over Cloud though, but I think that she would have had a better chance with Reeves or Vincent, no offense, but this was a cool new twist. I really like it. Write more.
