I have no idea why there hasn't been more interest in this story - it is GREAT and the premise is quite original. I don't know if you were planning on adding more drabbles/interludes to this arc
or not, but I would urge you to keep writing it if you can. The characterizations are spot-on and believable, the writing itself is solid, and you evoke emotion very well with your style.

My only critique is that Ch. 2 is a little hard to follow - a bit disjointed and hard for the reader to hold on to the narrative. My only suggestion would be that you reorder sections or smooth out the transition a bit (maybe with notes on time - like what is memory, what is three days before, etc etc). But other than being a little difficult to keep track of, the writing
was really wonderful. I am not usually a fan of character death but I think you are exploring the concept very fittingly - not too angsty, not too nonchalant - just very well.

Thank you for reposting this to , I would love to read more if you choose to write it!

This rethinking of events honestly never occurred to me--I always took it for granted that Ed would bring Al back in the armor. Because of their "profound brotherly connection." But I think I thought pretty much the same things as I was reading this fic as I do when I first watched one of Adam Lambert's performances: "What the hell is this? That's not right at all, that's not how it's supposed to be. How could he [Adam I mean, idk about your gender xD] twist it like that? ... Okay, well this is kinda neat. BUT STILL WRONG. Ooh, like what he did there... Well, this isn't so bad. Aww, is it over already? THAT WAS AWESOME!"
