Finally! Mei! This installment was amazing, as always xD The attack really was surprising, and I'm sure Ed's never going to forget that moment with Mei, as much as he would like to!

Ling's plot was so sad, but it was well-written and it gave lots of closer and background that we're there before for the Xing War chapters. And poor Ethan. Spending all that time with Ed, Al and Roy is going to scar him for life.

I like how things got resolved with Edward and the ones that tortured him. Qiang and Luli got what they deserved but poor Lin! He's always been one of my favorites and though I haven't exactly been the nicest with him I think you out did me! ;)

I also liked the conversation Edward had with Bao, to help him understand his feelings for Mei. Makes a lot of sense. Bao is a very smart man.

Great chapter and looking forward to Story 22!

Hah hah! My faith held out! ;D I feel as though a great weight has been lifted from my heart...:P

I knew Ed didn't love Mei- one, she's really not his type, two, Winry rules, and three, it just wouldn't make sense with the rest of the story, let alone the fandom!

The reuinion was done well, and all the characters were great. The visit with Lin was incredibly sad. I had a hard time reading the invasion from Xing stuff because I like Lin so much. He does rock in the manga- I was so sad that he became a homunculus...I know why he did, and he isn't my favorite character, but he makes me laugh and is cool, honorable, and makes a great couple with Ran Fan. XD

God, Ethan's comment at the end had me giggling like mad. I was getting some seriously weird looks.

Great as always, and I can't wait for the next story!

Ha! Yummy ending. That was awesome! The tea incident was funny.

**has just read chapters 2 and 3**

Ed.. Oh, Ed. Hopeless and helpless without Winry (as usual, I'm tempted to say?) XD

And, as usual, I loved the chapters! Glad to see that Ed has finally come to terms with everything! :)

Very nice. There was a lot of much needed closure, I think, in this chapter. Though I wonder if Al will completely drop his concern for Ed's strange behavior now that they are home. Love your series. It is so much fun to read.

Ha ha! Loved this chapter! Lots of fun and contained some nice twists. I'm looking forward to seeing how Ed deals with these thoughts of Mei. I also enjoyed the action Ed getting his revenge for being tortured.

Uh oh! I'll bet this happens at some point in every marriage. Funny how he got to punch the jerk that tortured him! Mei sounds like she is flirting with him, in my opinion. Update soon!

Much as I hate to admit it, i kind of saw the whole Mei thing coming. Gah...I love Ed/Winry too much...my stomach it all in knots now. But, I have faith. Maybe Ed will mess something up, but it will all be okay in the end. Right? Right?

Ah...update soon please! IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!

Really great chapter! I especially like how you portray Ed, that he understands what happened to him was not sanctioned by the Xing government, that it was just one person acting on their own. I also love Mei! I'm so glad you introduced her right away!

Yay, an update! I love it that Ed is coming to terms with everything that happened to him. I guess this trip is going to be good for him (you could have something else in mind... ;))?

Awesome! Back to Ed and Al! I love how they are in Xing. I am kind of expecting nightmares on Ed's part from the trauma...update soon, but I know you will! You are very good about that! (No pressure, I swear!)
