Cute piece!

I really like the idea of Izumi and Trisha meeting in this scenario. As far as mother figures go, they really were two sides of the same coin. I thought it was interesting how you showed Trisha’s slight disapproval over Izumi’s “harsher methods” and the way Izumi comforted her for leaving the boys was a sweet touch. The way you ended it, with Al’s line, “After all, she didn't leave us." was a perfect way to bring the story full circle, IMO.

As for critique, I hate nitpicking stories for spelling (and yours was pretty flawless too) but there was one misspelling that really stuck out to me. In Trisha’s opening line she says, “My name IN Trisha Elric” instead of, my name is. I probably only noticed since her introduction is a pretty important line and other than that, nothing else struck me grammar or characterization-wise.

Either way, I really enjoyed this piece. Thank you for sharing it!

Yes, this is very sad. I can always count on you to either make me sad, mad or laugh till i cant breathe.

That was an awesome story!

Really sentimental!

What a wonderful sweet story! A very enjoyable read, staying pretty well out of OCCness. I loved the ending.

AWW!
I love it! I'm almost in tears here from the sweetness of it all.
It shows that you worked very hard on this.

This story deserves a great review that I'm not sure if I deliver at this time...
Let's just go with this: This is an am amazing story, and I absolutely love it. 8 out of 5 stars. Hehe. (Yes, I know my fractions and I know that that is giving it more than a whole. :D )
