nicely written, however i hated the ending. i felt like i just wasted hours of my time for a very anime-ish ending, which is pointless seeing as this is a fanfic. yes i'm angry and i hate reading stories that leave me angry. i wish i go back in time and not read this.

Amazing. This is the most amazing FMA fanfiction i have EVER EVER read... i did NOT expect the fic to end this way but in a way, the ending makes me unable to forget this story.

You are a WONDERFUL writer and NEVER stop writing!

So sad! Omg tears welled up at the end. I loved it though, gosh I just want to huggles Edward and be his beard. Seriously though so well written, for a moment, I actually wanted to wikipedia chemist Edward Elric to get the "history" after the romance and find out his accomplishments. -_-;

Wow. That was really good. Keep 'em coming!

OH. MY. GOD. <3

This had got to be the best fanfiction I've ever read. No joke.

When it comes to fanfiction, I don't cry; instead I harbor an intense sadness and depression that lasts for a few days. I think this one's gonna last for a good few weeks. xD What a sad ending! Poor Roy and Ed... They deserved to be together. D;

Seriously, though. I loved this! You're an amazing writer, and I'm incredibly jealous. This fanfic is amazing! -can't seem emphasize that enough-

Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness gracious me. That. Was. Amazing.

This story had me bawling into my sister's shoulder for 10 minutes straight. The ending is sad. I wanted to kill Roy but my heart broke for both of them. By the end of this story I looked like hell. You are an amazing writer but kudos to you for making me cry. I never cry, not in movies, books, rarely any fanfics, and Ive never cried at even a funeral. Well, heart-wrenching story anyways.
XOXO

This was heartrendingly beautiful and brilliantly written: you must be very proud of this piece. The flow of emotion was written so eloquently-too eloquently, in fact, that I barely noticed my crying. Brilliant use of second person, too; you don't see many authors writing with that kind of skill these days.

I'll go get more tissues and add this to my favorites.

Ugh, were my stomach not hurting so much i definitely cry while reading this fic. Though i actually sry too after finishing this whole story, hehe.. the tears were delayed ^^,
This one of few fic that really dear to my heart.

gali-o-

ohmigogohmigodohmigod.

uhm.
I think this is wonderful...
and that I love it...
I'm like, in shock from how GOOD this story was!
Was? Is? I wonder...

Anyways.
Wow. Lovelovelove it <3
can anyone say "favorite?"

(I do love the angsty drama. A small part of me wished for some iota of a happy ending. But, I think you chose the right path for this. Ah, but I am a romantic! Sigh.)

wow...just wow. at first i thought that this was going to be just good. something to distract me from my boredom. i started to read it and i dont know it just sucked me right in. it pulled on my heartstrings so hard it hurt. i actually started to cry near the end. this was amazing, so beautiful i couldnt stop all the synonyms for great that havent even been invented yet. the characters were in character so much they surpassed the real ones. dont tell the creator of fma but you portrayed all the elements of both the anime and manga in this story better than they could ever hope to achieve. theres so much i want to say but dont know how to say. all i can say is thank you.

Why has this got almost no reviews?!
This is like, THE BEST story I have ever read. Im serious.
I loved it so so so much. It was amazing. I think Im just repeating myself with how much this story amazes me. Total jawdrop.
I loved how you used 'you' instead of 'I'. I dont think I've ever read something like that before.
But man. I loved this so much. There were parts in this that made my spine tingle. Some parts were stuck in my head and got me distracted from other things. XD
If I could fav this over and over again, I would.

so seriously, i've never cried while reading a fan fiction.. you made me cry. omigosh GREAT! haha wow. like... THEE BEST STORY EVER. wow... great background, plot, EVERYTHING!! i'm in awe right now at how emotionally involved i was in this.. its just.. amazing. wonderful job, and great protrayal of the characters. bravo!

I feel like I need to take a moment to compose myself, before I leave my review, which I can already tell will be way too long. So, um, I'm just going to ramble on. I don't really know how coherent this will be.

First off... this was achingly beautiful. Ed and Roy approached each other as equals from the start, which I appreciated. Edward retained his character so perfectly, and this universe's Roy was so similar, yet so obviously separate from Amestris's Roy. And it was all so, so tender. Nothing was wrong about it, even when it started to hurt.

I thought the slow burn of Ed and this universe's Roy's relationship was such a contrast to the flares between Ed and Amestris's Roy; their sex, too, reflected that. Where in this world, Ed and Roy came together so slowly, with steadily increasing passion, in Amestris, it was such a sudden (yet expected) decision, and their energy just... it sparked and leapt, and it was filled with desperation, and want, and so much more. Yet they were also similar, because they both burnt with that indefinable *something*, and because they were both so raw, and close, and open.

And then, at the very end, the heartbreak. The foreshadowing was there, with Ed's birthday; perhaps even before that. His prickling discomfort in New York. Roy's tension at what seemed, at the time, a harmless joke. It was all so perfect, and yet I wanted to deny it, even to the last second. When Ed denied Roy's offer to leave it all, there was such exquisite anguish...

Ed's acceptance of it was so not Ed, but at the same time, so very Ed, because he grew so considerably. And Roy's inability to deal with the loss, finding comfort in young men who are mere shadows of Ed, lying to his wife and child... my God. I can barely articulate how amazing I think this all is.

The language you used in this was utterly magnificent. I can see myself reading this again, and again, and perhaps another time. The imagery you evoked was stunning, and you just plucked on my heartstrings so perfectly. This fic made me laugh, but it also made me cry. It's just superb.

I honestly do not know what else to say, other than... this? I freaking LOVE this, so much.

I don't think i've ever had such an interesting love/hate for fanfiction. The writing was beautiful and effective, I've long been a fan of your other second person focused work. And I do indeed love sad tragic endings, but this ending was almost too much for even me. It almost killed me with the requited yet given up love. I found myself at the end hoping, begging for Edward to find true happiness. I thought the gravity of his actions was clearly stated, both on him and Roy. Both the good and the bad parts of his decision were understood and fairly portrayed to the reader. I love your stories, please continue to write more in the future!
