I really like this fic! I love the romance between Ed and Winry. I also liked the Elric brothers interaction with Trisha and Nina!
The one thing I am really sad about is the ending of Noah/Al, I was really excited about them together in the beginning of the fic. I was hoping that he'd take her home with him. I really did like the feelings between Al and Noah.
Also Riza and Roy is adorable ^_^

gold. pure and un-dulled gold. if it was any better it would have a shrine. funny, saddening, uplifting and emotional all around. i did notice that Roy and Riza didn't come out the room for a long time, so... i dunno but... really.

Yay romantic and STILL in character. I don't know if you have any idea how happy that makes me. Bravo on the whole story so far I love how you incorparated Ed's dream into reality and I love how you didn't rush them into kissing.

Only thing though is near the end...

"The wrench landed on the carpeted floor with a soft thud and lay there unforgotten."

It's a great line but I think the word you were looking for is "forgotten". There are other minor mistakes here and there but otherwise its perfect! Can't wait to see what happens next.

This is a really good story. Honestly. You keep them in character which is good and the plot line you have chosen is actually very logical. I have been working on my own post Shamballa fic for some time now and it's very hard to keep up with the logistics of everything and still keep them in character when we have no idea how the rest of the story goes. But you pulled it off. I am adding this to faves because it's one of the best stories I've read on this site. I also like you're romance style it's not complete fluff nor complete cheesiness yet it's cute and touching at the same time. Also Ed's feelings are pretty much canon. Kudos ^^ I love how you gave Ed a hobby too...he really needed one.

Love and Peace,

Wow, this is really brilliant stuff.. unlike so many FMA fanfiction, particularly EdWin, I love the attention to detail and keeping the characters in check with the series. Hasn't been an update in a while which is worrying though!! Ed and Winry are so close!! lol, I hope this hasn't been abandoned anyway, as its one of my most favourite stories I've read. Edward and Winry in particular are written very well. I look forward to hopefully reading more

Wow. This is, hands-down, the best FullMetal story I have ever read. You have brought the charaters to life better than the Anime could. The only problem I could find with your writing is that you sometimes forget to put a space between words, but other than that small detail I found it perfect.

Great last couple of chapters! And this last one was pretty long too! In case you couldn’t tell, I love long chaps. Oh well, enough about me, on to the review!

The beginning of chap 7 was interesting. Now I'm curious how this mysterious woman knew Dante and what exactly she plans to do. I liked the inclusion of Hughes and Gracia too. It provided a nice, final bittersweet parallel to Ed and Al’s past. Shame we won’t get to see Alter-Elisia, but having the boys stick around Munich that long would have been terribly unfair to Winry. Then, of course, came the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the reunion! Winry’s reaction was just as I imagined it would be. Poor Al, soon he too will learn to fear the wrench! Armstrong’s emotional welcome was rather funny too. Though I’m a bit confused since I got the impression from your fic that he returned to the military at some point after the movie. You might want to go back and clarify that. The interaction at Roy’s place was pretty classic. Ed and Roy never will have a civil conversation, will they? The jealousy bit with Winry gave me a chuckle too. I liked how she got possessive over his arm and leg, very IC. Now I can’t wait til they get back to Resembool and it’s Ed’s turn to feel the green sting! The after dinner talk and walk were a good show of romance (that kiss was LONG overdue IMO,) thou it does leave the question open: what exactly were Roy and Riza doing in that bedroom for so long?

My first criticism is on the entrance of your OC, Curtis. I’m not sure if this was your intention, but he kind of seemed thrown in only to be dismissed in the next chap. Ed’s instinctual dislike of him does point towards a possible future plot point, but I personally felt he could have used more fleshing out… or less. Maybe a longer conversation b/w him and the brothers to establish more char or having Ed remember a little something about him from before. Or, if you wanted to keep him an enigma, just have him vanish mysteriously while everyone is distracted during the welcome scene. Or perhaps next chap when they go to check on him at the hotel, or something of that nature. That way, you establish a “WTF? I’m curious about this guy now” reaction from the audience. Those are just a couple examples pulled from my head, but I think my main problem is that I felt Curtis needed a little something to make him more interesting. My only other critique is actually a small typo at the end of chap 8. You typed, “The wrench landed on the carpeted floor with a soft thud and lay there UNforgotten.” Not a big one, but since it’s the last word in the chap (not to mention the conclusion to a squeal-worthy moment) it kind of stuck out more than usual.

Well, I definitely can’t wait to see how Ed and Winry’s relationship progresses from here. Happy writing!

That was a really good ending to that chapter, a little hanger-a romantic hanger at that. Lol. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to read the next chapter. Go EdxWinry!!
