Oh, perfection! So glad this ended well.

Lovely chapter. Very sad, yet hopeful. The final two lines were my favorite part.

I'm crying. Oh my word. That was beautiful. So, so good. Especially that last line. Wow.

I'm crying.

I think this is the best fma fic I have read in a long time.
The emotions are raw and the angst is fantastic.
The last drabble was exceptionally poetic and well paced. I look forward for any sort of continuation this might have

That's one way to distract from discomfort ;)

Oo.. I forgot about this story. I had to go back and read earlier to remember what all had happened. I really love the sudden turn of events here. I bet Ed wasn't expecting that reaction. Probably he expected that she wouldn't notice. hahaha...

Why must you kill me so?

Aww...brotherly love...Ed and Al's relationship is just so special. It seems bittersweet when thinking about how they'd end up later on (at least in your story), which is just so sad...keep writing!

"Oh", I thought to myself, "I'll just read the first chapter..."

Thanks for keeping me up late. :)

(love this story. really. keep up the good work!)

Oh, I'm glad you added this prequel. Very sweet. But of course very sad because we know what Al's cold will lead to. Poor Ed and Al! :'(

So sad...but it's so well written I couldn't stop reading it! Wish Winry didn't marry and have a kid, though. But I guess that's just how a story should go if it's to be good. Keep writing!

I really like this story. It's sad, but it's also very sweet. I think my favorite thing about it is that it shows the depth of Ed and Winry's relationship. It's not completely clear where their relationship will go from this moment on. They could pursue a romantic relationship, (which is what I like to think :) ) or they could stay together in a brotherly/sisterly relationship. But no matter what happens, it is perfectly clear that they need each other. They both have endured such heartache, and the way they come to realize their need for each other in this story is very powerful.

Awe! That's about as sugary as any semi-plausible CoA continuation can be, I'd say. Really nice story, and not too heavy on the angst (it wasn't unrelenting, at least!).

This was really nice. I was super happy ti see this expanded into a longer story. I'm sorry it took Ed so long to get back and how much it cost him, but seems he's back to stay and I'm glad for Winry.
