AWSOME story thanks

Now, I don't know if you still read reviews...

But this was has been the single most important experience reading fanfiction I have ever had. My greatest hobby is reading and relishing in anime. FMA has recently become one of my obsessions...and so has the prospect of Edward and Alphonse...

It has knocked me breathless the way you have made real anxieties and pain leak through the words where I actually felt frantic and helpless. The sheer relief when things came together and the way you made me believe to my core that things happen for a reason has made me happy in ways I did not think was possible for me in this moment.

I am just coming out of detox, my life is a mess and I can't function like a regular human being but FMA pulled me through...Your story, however, has given me hope. So much hope I could not even dare ask for, from the moments that made me cry and ache for Edward watching his life fall apart at the seems but being strong enough to pick his family up still and carry on...to the moments that made me laugh when Alex scared the crap out of his mom after leaving Teacher speechless...

I'm a crying sopping mess thinking of Edward and Alphonse up there in their tattered jackets and young faces watching us. I realize it's fiction...I realize it...isnt real but for 11 wonderful chapters it WAS real. I thank you for this happy ache in my chest that I haven't felt since I fell in love with Inuyasha or Cardcaptor Sakura...

I have been reading fanfiction since computers took 20 minutes just to boot up let alone connect to the internet (don't even get me started how loong it would take to print chapters!) But I have always been searching for this special one...an elusive story that would gratify my unknown and onsided love.

And I found it.

I severely hope my message is seen by you and I hope my love for you and this story finds you~

Thank you doesn't cover the gratitude I feel for the experience you have given me.

Sincerely
Krista

Rosie is totally awesome, I love seeing her shooting down her dad's arguments. Alex realizing Edward was watching him and Edward showing him his drawing of him and that tear in his eye and more of Ed's heart-rending journal entries. Another beautiful chapter.

Good lord, my heart aches reading this. The light hearted moments between the siblings, the coolness and endearing blushing of Edward Jr., The obliviousness of Alexander, the free spirit and awared teasing by Rosie, and desperately yearning entries from Ed.

ive read this a few times before and as always its lovely. it feels a bit weird reading it now in the year the story is cast in but the main points of it are still strong. thank you for all your (and your helpers) hard work. :)

Oh my dear god I am CRYING l

i f***ing hate their dad!

Awwww... I love the ending!

LOL! I LOVES IT, AND I SHIP THEM SO BAD! XD DON'T JUDGE MEEEEEEEEEEE!

THIS FANFICTION MADE ME CRY WITH TWO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE ROOM

Al is short for Alphonse. Not alexander.

oh gosh! just...gosh! A while ago i read a fic about Edward and Al's relationship in a different point of view, it was very realistique ((sorry im french so im not verry good at spelling grammar and english words)) It showed the way they had to struggle through there life like a real incestuous relationship must have to.

to be honest it really changed my view of this parring, and then finding this one. It just made everything so much more...ahh.

Its so hard to explain but, this fic is lovely, the writing is lovely, the story line, the way everything turned out. Ive shed tears over this and im about to do it again. I loved it. props for you!

Hm... I have a problem with Ed's date of birth... In the anime, we can see what's written in his silver watch ("Dont forget Oct.3.10.) and at this moment, he is 10/11 years old... So that would mean that is was born in 1900 or before, not 1905 like what you said. In this done on purpose ?

I never read T rated Elricest's, but this was by far the best. I've never cried so much in my life while reading a fanfic. Great job!

OHMYGOD! OHMYFREAKINGGOD! I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT UNTIL ALEX SAID IT! ALPHONSE WAS THE FATHER?! OHMYGOD!

...my mind has been blown. .
