Link to the fic

It's an old one of mine... I really felt sick after writing it. <_<
The fic was actually inspired by Lifehouse's "Breathing". ^_^' Parts of the lyrics of that song can be found all throughout the fic itself... I hope you enjoy it just in case you haven't read it yet. :P

*cough*

Well... at least they're together... :blink: :unsure:

well.... it was definitely.... different.... as Ana said, at least they're together!

After recovery from reading that fic... I'm at a loss for words. :ph43r: :lol:

Parts were very humorous, parts of it I loved, parts of it simply grossed me out! This is one wild ride of a story! :lol: I loved how you dealt with Cloud and Tifa's relationship in the story, and how Cloud confronts her near the end. I also liked how Tifa moved on. Cloud stealing the baby was too funny, although it became very sad when you found out why he did it. :( Red XIII understanding Dark Nation was hysterical. I really enjoyed Yuffie's part, too. Vincent was a good choice to do what he did for Cloud, and Aerith's words to Vincent were very touching.

I loved the fact that Cloud never forgot Aerith, and how she is always with him spiritually. I loved learning what had happened on the Date between them, although it made her death all the more sad. The other characters seeing her spirit's presence around Cloud is wonderful, and I was very glad they ended up together at the end. The way they end up together is very sad, although... at that point... it was best for Cloud. The idea of Cloud going crazy, though... and bringing her to his home... and ... and.... well, I won't spoil it for those who haven't read it... but that part.... *shudder* I did like how Cloud started it all during Tifa's wedding, though. :lol:

As Cloudsgirl said, it's quite.... different.... :unsure:

It was a tad disturbing in places, Tifa, (namely the ending! :lol:) but I found it really touching how Cloud couldn't come to terms with Aerith's death, and how because he couldn't accept it, it eventually drove him insane. It was really sweet how Aerith's spirit was still with him, and how she was waiting for him in the end. :)

Oooh!! So you're generalquistis!! I've read your fic! I can't remember if I reviewed though... ^^' Anyway, I loved it! Love dark fics. ^_^

CrapShackeR - November 8, 2004 03:15 AM (GMT)
:blink: Wow, now that's a story. The ending scene was lovely, if you exclude the gore.

Tifa Lockheart - November 9, 2004 01:03 PM (GMT)
Eh... thanks y'all. ^_^

Here's another one... but... it's not just CloudxAerith. If you know me as generalquistis, you can guess who the other couple is. But actually, I wrote this thinking about Cloud, Aerith and forgiveness... ^_^

Love and the Perfection of It In Its Imperfection

I'm still trying to write another purely CloudxAerith fic... any suggestions? :P

Oooo... I just now saw the link to your second story and started reading it. It's very good so far! It seems very CloudxAerith to me. I love the way you depicted Cloud and Tifa's relationship!

Remember that Square said that Cloud and Tifa were the only characters in the original 20 minute version of AC, which had all the Cloti's screaming that it had to mean that Cloud and Tifa were the couple of the game? (Of course, the Cloti's ignore the fact that Visual Works - not Square - wrote that version, and that it was later modified by Square). At any rate, the first two chapters of your story show very well how Cloud and Tifa can be the only characters in a movie/game/story... yet NOT be a couple. :lol:

I'm only a few chapters into it... but so far, I love it! :D

EDIT: I just finished your second story, and I absolutely loved it. This IS a CloudxAerith fic - despite what you think - and it's just beautiful. The ending made me cry... it's so very sad, yet wonderful at the same time. It's a beautiful story that clarifies so much about the characters... I just loved it! If only AC were a story like this! :D

Bloodbath - December 26, 2004 10:28 AM (GMT)
Oh Tifa!!! I didn't know that you were generalquistis!!! I found your story a really dark kind of tale... angsty!!! :) and I read your other story, Love and the Perfection of Its Imperfection. :)

It's very nice!

Tifa Lockheart - December 27, 2004 09:06 AM (GMT)
Yep, it's me. ^_^' *feels embarrassed*

Thanks for reading. ^_^'

SweetJanie - December 27, 2004 02:41 PM (GMT)
I LOVED the second one!! Also liked the first, really cool ^_^ (I wasn't scared! YAY!) But the second, god, it's so beautiful!!! :wub: lub it lub it lub it!!!!! :lol:

*Reads the first one*

:blink:

*Dies from mental disturbance*

*Friend throws a phoenix down*



Oh... my... god...

Good story, but VERY disturbing...





*Reads the second one*

Hmm... it's a really good story

:blink: :blink: :blink: *twich*

Well that was interesting. You just have some sort of power to make the creepy fics down right chilling and disturbing.

That last chapter was just just... well chilling and disturbing.

One of the really sad (I mean "depressing sad" not "feel sorry sad") parts of that chapter was when Cloud mentioned that Aeris was pregnant with their child when she was killed. That makes her death more sad. :(

But then again I never really thought that could've happen, Aeris being pregnant I mean, that has to be the first fic I saw where that happened, again I mean the fact that Aeris was pregnant.

I've read it before, but can't remember why I didn't review it last time. But nevermind, I just reviewed it. It's a good story despite the heebie-jeebie bit and I found the ending nice. Finally after so long they finally can be together. In the review, ignore the *goes pale* part. I wasn't feeling well today and nearly fainted the day before. I'm fine now, though, so don't worry about me.

I have yet to read the other fics, but I've read a few and one of them is on my favourites list. Good luck with your works still to come, and keep up the good work :). I'll be sure to read them in due time. (hopefully you could vaguely guess my fanfiction.net pen-name :P) .

Excelion - February 8, 2005 11:41 PM (GMT)
Disturbing yet... touching in a way.

But VERY well written I must say. Great Job! I'm off to read read your second one now!

Cloud Gainsborough - April 25, 2005 04:39 AM (GMT)
I'm just hoping that you write more fics like "Breathing". Gore, humor AND necrophilia... the good stuff

Tifa Lockheart - April 26, 2005 01:56 PM (GMT)
Soon, Cloud.... soon..... :devil:

Cloud Gainsborough - April 27, 2005 05:14 AM (GMT)
*waits and hopes....*

EnglishRose - June 8, 2005 04:46 PM (GMT)
that was gruesome! lol :( very sad...*sniff*

Meikyo - June 16, 2005 11:54 PM (GMT)
Wow..... :huh: it was....interesting. Lol, I'm just kidding.
Though it was rather ODD...(I'm just not used to it :P), it was also well written. :)
I'm glad Aerith and Cloud got together in the end. :D
I think I'll go check out some of your other works. :D nice job.

ucantmakeme - June 26, 2005 02:52 AM (GMT)
Alrighty then! I loved it! Oh my goodness! ... Does this make me dark?

I imagined everything in my head...Cloud insane would be kind of hot actually. I know, I'm weird. The way I imagined poor Aerith though. *shiver*

Maybe instead of that song he should have sang I Love the Dead by Alice Cooper. For those of you that aren't his fan, I'll throw in a few lyrics.

I love the dead before they're cold
Their bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see...
Nothing


Yeppers! :P Anyway, It was sad, but funny, but gross all at the same time! Keep it up. I'm off to read more of your work. That's the first truly good fanfiction I've seen in a while! *high fives*

That was um.... disturbing. But very good. I liked how you put that Aeris' spirt was there to stop Cloud from killing Yuffie. That was a nice add. I haven't read you second one yet. I might do it tomorrow. It's late and I'm really tired.

Namine_RQ - June 28, 2005 06:04 AM (GMT)
AHA! The first morbid fic I've ever read from generalquistis (Tifa Lockheart)... this is what inspired me to write something like her Breathing.

Though I think she had some confusions with the "Sora" part because when she wrote it, she was still unsure about how Sora looked like. :D Heheh.

Anyway, good story. ;)

I wish you'd write more stuff as morbid as this one... :angel:
