abuseHaha, to lasy to login...

Oh, wow! That was intense! Read the whole thing in one sitting...not a big fan of Roy/Ed but I thought this was awesome, wasn't really a whole lot of it but that doesn't matter!

Great story!

abuseI admire you. To drag up such a hard subject and create something out of it is simply admireable. I wonder, how does it feel? To deliberatly pick something as horrible as war and suffering and write a pretty amasing fic about it. Does it feel good? To be able to know that you went through that pain and you turned out okay? I can imagine that you'll feel kind of satisfied or something close, maybe I don't get it.

Okay, I feel a little emotional right now, sorry if you don't understand my ramblings. I'm not trying to be mean or anything.

Well, other than that, I really like your portrayal of Ed and Col. Mustang (hehe, being formal X3) the part when Ed tries to save someone feels very IC. I wonder if he would break like that and go bonanza. Just look at how he handled The Nina and Barry the chopper incidents. wow, talk about broken...
But, eventhough the story is dark and -very- angsty (geez, it made me cry!) I like the ending. I feel hope when I hear things like "we're gonna survive together." Yes, I'm sentimental, get over it. I really liked it so I'm putting this on favorites to honour it properly.
(as I said before I started this review in rambling mode, ignore first section if you don't understand, it's to hard to scroll up and erase..am lazy :P mehehe)

have a great day and I hope you'll enjoy my strangeness!

abuseThere is absolutely no praise that I can give that would summarize my opinion of your story. For three years I've been reading FMA fanfiction faithfully - almost everyday (as sad as that may sound). I've always been drawn to the angstiest stuff, so that's what I've mainly read. Some fics have been so devastatingly beautiful and sad... but not a single one of them actually brought me to tears. Until today. I started reading this early this morning, and then was too busy the rest of the day. However, the entire time that I spent away from the computer, my mind was plagued by this, so when I finally had the chance to get back here, I was overjoyed. And as I finished the last chapter, my shoulders began shaking, my hand went to my mouth, and I just couldn't stop crying.

Beautiful, heart-wrenching, amazing, incredible... none of those can describe exactly how I feel about this. I was moved to the point that I went into my room and just laid there on my bed, staring at the ceiling, contemplating every little thing you wrote. Never have I seen such spot-on writing when it comes to the relationship between Ed and Roy. Even the two in general. Their personalities are so difficult to capture, in my opinion, and in some way in all fics that I've read, they've always been even the teeniest bit out-of-character. This, however... was just perfect. Ed's almost-psychotic views on the war as time passed floored me. I felt like I was right there in the battlefield with him. And then, of course, Roy was incredible, too. I think the part of the story that had me the most was when the poor guy curled up in the tent, mourning for what he thought was a loss of Ed and clutching his red jacket. I chocked so hard. So freakin' hard. I've gone back and re-read that scene so many times now.

I'd love to say more to express just how much I adore what you've written, but I really don't know what I CAN say. I would be extremely ecstatic to see what happens next, but I suppose I'll just have to use my imagination. Maybe, if I ever learn enough about war, I'll write a fanfic for this. Right now it would be blatantly obvious that I'm going off of guesses, so I'll wait and not mangle this amazing thing with something like that.

I really hope that you'll eventually write more FMA fanfics because I see only one other in your archive and I'm itching for more. If you don't, though, I wish you good luck in any writing that you ever do. It'll be some amazing stuff like this, I'm sure.

FANTASTIC WORK! :)

abuseThis fic was so sad and very real. It moved me in such a way I can't portray properly in a review. So instead I have made this for you.

After Ed found Roy in his tattered condition, I stopped reading in despair that they would both die. So I opened Word and made a oneshot. It is fueled with my grief and my tender hope for life.

I'm posting it soon and dedicating it to you. It's called "Strays"

Thank you.

abuseVery-very good. I think I would prefer you left the sex out of this and stick to just camaraderie. Not that I have anything against it (love it), just felt unneeded in a way since the base of their bond was of different nature. Otherwise pretty fantastic.

abuseVery well-written. You have impressed me. I really like your story and it is obvious you have a talent for writing. You bring a new turn to the Ed/Roy relationship and having Fullmetal in wartime is an interesting twist. You were able to keep me on the edge of my seat over what would happen to the both of them. Your image of war was profound and real. Keep up the good work. PS What happened to Hawkeye?

abuseWow, this is so wonderfully written I don't even have words to describe it.
This is most definitely one of the best fan fictions I've read in a long, it really makes you think, this one does.

abusei love this...it was fantastic. how could you portray the utter love and impossible lengths they'd go through for each other without ever actually saying it? and keeping them human and in character? damn, that was amazing. i'm sorry it ended at all, or do you have a sequal? and i absolutely adored the fact that Ed views Mustang as HIS colonel. :) beyond precious.

abuseBeautiful, beautiful story. I can see the battlefield with sheltered eyes, but the raw emotion emanating from the characters is breathtaking.

A wonderful fic in all.
