This was so great. The way you had Ed explain it and just, how you wrote it. Really good. I actually liked it so much I reread it right after I read it for the first time. Well done!

Thanks for writing this I was questioning how they never ask about his it’s really nice I wish there were more fics like that

Wow, the amount of detail in this is absolutely incredible. Nice work!

This was great! One of the best I've seen.

Your characterization so perfect...

I am flippin out. THIS is canon Roy. I have never seen a fan fic writer get him so spot on. Holy crap this is good

This is awesome. I love reading anything about Ed's automail, and so this is just amazing. :)

Aww this was so interesting and kinda sweet in a way. IDK I just really liked it. Good job!

I really like the way you describe the sensations of automail and your characterization is great.

This is a wonderfully written short story, and I just love how well you captured everyone. I also really love the amount of detail you included in your descriptions, and the level of thought you put into understanding and describing the functions of automail was so realistic, I'd think you have had personal experience with it!

It was really nice to see the way Mustang's crew interacts with Ed, and then of course, Mustang has to do something to get under poor Edward's skin, so to speak. I loved his reasoning behind why he does it though. Still, it's a sad indictment of their times in which their story is told, about the pathetic way that children are treated in Amestris if they lose their parents. Think about it, the Elric brothers' mother died, and they had no one to care for them, and the town, and by extension the country, let them live on their own, which led to the tragedy of them attempting human transmutation, which then led to a twelve year old boy having to enroll in the military as a means of providing for his younger brother and himself, not just to search for the Philosopher's Stone. Talk about having to grow up fast and young, whether you like it or not! If FMA had been set in modern times, there wouldn't have been a series, as little Edward and Alphonse would've been collected by the State after their mother died, then placed into foster care, where they most likely would've lost track of each other, and lived lives of abuse and not feeling connected to anybody. Hmm...that could also be a sad indictment of modern times, too, I think. Well anyway, at least Edward and Alphonse found people along the way through their adventures that cared about them, even if they did have funny ways of showing it.

Interesting, I love it. I guess me and Roy are the same in our actions, tugging our own clothes afterwards. Still, love the ending, love the whole story in fact.

Nice. I Enjoyed It

Interesting piece. Very nice!

I really liked Ed's explanation. I've always wondered how it felt, and you did a very good job explaining it. :)
