Have Ed for Fortitude. Fortitude means strength, courage, stamina and determination apparently.

I know, totally. Only Al could be faith, noone else would be so... faithful... ^^ Love the story, it was really well-written.

This is one where the the virtue made absolute sense. Really who else but Al have such blind faith that things would work out right in the end, that they would indeed find the Philospher's Stone, and faith in his brother. It's just so...right. I loved the flashbacks too, half dream, almost all memory (though perhaps that is how Al dreams, if he can truly dream at all, walking through memories) and just let it go. Course I might just be a sad sucker for chibiEd and chibiAl but at least I admit openly. Ish. And to sort of even out the part that wants to make you weep, but in a good way, like a cleansing break down, there is the bother bonding, that is trying to get Edward out of bed. Heh, one should never forget that, despite everything the two have gone through and will go through (someone bless fanwriters), they are brothers and like any siblings, they just know each too well. Perfect, perfect, perfect.

I love your fics! This one is so thoughtful...and Al is so...Al-like. ^^

I haven't read “Virtues”, but now I will.

great fic that is going in my favorites.

im kinda confused with the whole point of the "virtues" arc... but i really like it... please update soon.

I'm really enjoying this-- they're short and vivid and lots of fun. Good images, good job putting lots of feeling in. I'm looking forward to more.

I love this arc. Excellent insight on Al and his view of his brother. Hurray! Keep writing!

^^ Excellent choice for faith. Then again, there isn't anyone else as qualified for Faith as Al is...maybe Ed... *sigh* I'm just confusing myself. Anyway, I loved it! Keep them coming, please!

Wow... I can feel Al's pain and loss in your writing. It also reaffirms Al's unshakable faith in his brother. Your writing never ceases to amaze me!
