Well, I'm sitting here at 3:30 in the morning CRYING, because this fic is just so completely what I've been wanting to read that I'm a little overwhelmed. You've somehow managed to write exactly the story I've wanted to hear about Ed and Alfons and Alphonse, and all this crazy guilt and jealousy and joyous Ed/Hei slash is just undoing me. I love Ed and Alfons together, and I love Ed's gorgeous angst, and I love cute little Al and how he's not so little even though he is, and how he's such a spitfire in a totally different way from Ed, and I can only imagine that Ed must be bursting with brotherly pride. I'M bursting with brotherly pride, for pete's sake.
I can only imagine the trouble this chapter must have given you--there's so much uncertainty, and so many things waiting to be said. I almost wish that the Als would have a painful heart-to-heart, or that someone would say something about the elephant in the room. I can't help but feel that if all these people who love Ed could just know how much Alfons loves him too, and vice versa...then maybe Alfons would have a better time of it, maybe they'd warm up to him. Of course, I'm reacting to them as though they do these things on their own, without the benefit of a writer crafting their stories...lol.
This review is getting long and rambly, so I'll wrap it up by saying that I can't wait to read whatever comes next, and so far every turn you've taken with this fic has been one I thoroughly enjoyed, so I trust that future turns will thrill me just as much. You rock my socks.

review!! :D haha little joke n_n
just wanna let u know that YOU ROCK!
YOU'RE AWESOMEE! ;) keep like that

you're wolcome n_n I love to comment to tell you that I luv thiz story its so cute and awesome! and I enter almost every day to see if there is any actualization :D I get so excited when I see a new chapter!! and well this one was very great, I'm hoping to see what happens to Ed! I mean, it made me feel sad how he acted when he met Alfons and all but I think its an interesting moment in the story, and that is why this fic is so great: its not just "they lived happily ever after" or "they were so hot, they started..." no! its much much better this one actually has a story!! has a background!! its so good, plz continue :9
pd. I'm lotolight, but I'm too lazy to put my name everytime xD so I just put "me" :)

att: Lotolight, me xD

Wonderful! We've missed this story. Nice, intense chapter. I loved your automail and law details. The only thing that sounded awkward was this, "Tired of thinking in circles about his doub- about Al, he unfolded himself from the window and headed back to his room to read." There might be a "t" missing in there somewhere but other than that it's perfect. Keep up the good work!

Ow, my heart. Lend me some glue to put it back together.

I think the most frightening thing is how Ed seems to have lost the will to fight. He's always been so lively, so VIVID, and now it's just... D': And it sucks for everyone else, too, because these characters can never catch a break, can they. Sigh. All we can do now is wait and hope for the best, like Alfons...

(I find it faintly odd that the guards would let them speak in any language they didn't understand, since Ed is supposedly a high-security prisoner.)

Still love your characterizations, as usual, and anxiously awaiting the next part.

This is my first time reading a story with even hints of lemon in it...but this story is amazing! They seem to be very in character. This is one of the best HeixEd fics I've read..so great job! Please update as soon as you can!

I can see why this chapter was hell to write. What a horribly depressing chapter, still, I guess conflict is essential, and I'm glad for the update.

Well you've just added a mass of angst into the confusion. I like it.

Oh no, they had another misunderstanding. You really like making them miserable, don't you?

Another wonderful, beautiful chapter. Wish someone would be nicer to Alfons. I didn't find any mistakes. I hope Ed gets out of that prison soon, and I hope that he and Alfons figure everything out between them.

The suspense is killing me, I'm drowning in angst, and this story just ruined my day and yet was the highlight that I got to catch up on the last couple of chapters I hadn't gotten around to reading yet. >.<

I was really looking forward to seeing the "coming out" scene for them I dunno how your gonna pull that off but I know its gonna be awesome but uh now there little jail mettings gone sour and uhh, wow that really just depressed the shit outta me...

well you really know how to effect your audience goody goody for you. T.T

*rips heart, and slams it onto the table's cold, metal surface*

Seeing Ed shuttung down is depressing, not to mention Alfones' own struggles with his emotions. But at least he's still fighting somewhat.So what will they do...? Was Alfones going to tell Ed to tell everyone the truth..? And what an interesting trial it's going to be...internation! It would be great if Ed got more backing..even better if he could regain his sight and alchemy.

Great chapter, great exploration of emotions as always. I love how Al and Alfones were on the same page for once, just mercilessly attacking Mustang. XD; Poor Coronal, never saw it coming.

I was going to ask on the last chapter, but I'd thought that things would get better... Things got worse and circumstances seem to indicate that the level of shittiness has just been brigded and there's, like, uh, a whole WELL going for miles.
So. I can see that it's inevitable that Edward would get a confidence anti-boost and that that would create a misunderstanding between him and Alfons. BUT! is my premonition correct that the trial's gonna get long, and awful, and suspenseful and last for more than say, three chapters, and that Ed and Alfons are going to not understand each other for that whole while maybe even more than that? Also that Harris and Mustang and possibly Al or Winry are gonna be mad at Alfons for depressing Ed even more before the trial, with Winry or Al backing him up... And then that when the trial is oven(if our guys win; which they will.) Ed will still be unconvinced that bringing Alfons along with was a good idea. At the same time they are gonna have to fess up about their relationship(because everyone is holding their tongue now because it's not the right time, what with Ed in jail and stuff). Yeah, happy times.
If this premonition of mine is correct it means that the next chapters are gonna be ultra depressing. And I guess I can see why that makes sense... but please. Just please. Throw a ray of sunshine in there, I can't breathe if it's too angsty!
(btw don't misunderstand. I love the story)

:( Poor Alfons.

I hate this political shit. I want them to be all happy and together again, which probably won't happen for a very long time since you develop the story like a maniac, which will be good when it's over, but right now I want EdAlf. I hope it won't be another 30 chapters of poor Ed imprisoned though he's innocent. That would be such a downer. I'll wait patiently for your next update. See you soon! *crossed fingers*

Well... Heartwrenching, as always... ^^ I must admit, I haven't got a clue what's eating Ed this time... So well, hope you'll update soon, shed some light on the situation.. Take care! ;) V.
