rate_review Reviews

oh and my email is bluehairedrummer@yahoo.com, sorry i forgot to write it, ah, how embarrasing.

I have to say it's gotten to be nearly impossible to find any good fiction anywhere, in any genre, these days. I also have to say that this story is one of the very few I still look forward to reading anymore. A lot of thought goes into this story, and it involves a lot more than any other Ed/Roy abuse-type one I've seen. I want to know what's next! But I don't want it to end! I dunno! AHH!
Write more...?
Pleeeeeaaaase...?
=)

Hey I've reviewed a few of your other things on FF and I finaly had the time to come here to read your other stories and I've got to say. You've got me hooked. I'm litteraly so drawn into this story I can hardly wait for the next chapter. my minds a whirle. you've got the issue of the abuse down really well its almost scary. its hard for me to read this at certain parts though because I went through the same thing as a kid. My uncle...But he was finaly convicted and I've been attending therapy for quite some time after it. they said that I've improved alot over the time and now I can openly share what happend to me without the fear of thinking that I'll be punished for telling. I'd like to know where do you get your sorces, if you have any, over how a child/individual reacts to such treatment?

I forgot to add my email since i dont know if you can see it or not of if you feel particularly lazy and not go check my account on FF.net. its juujuubean@yahoo.com Please please send me a notice when you update. I want to know how this ends..and somehow I'm getting this vibe..Most everyone is thinking that its Roy who push's Ed to the breaking point by some way or another. but I think it might be something else. I think, now this is purely my own mind, I think that because of his mind set that Ed does fall victem to that horrible cycle and eventualy does something to his brother. Perhaps push's to far and hense why Al is tramatized. And when the realization hits just what he did Ed finaly snaps and kills the entier cause from which this stems, Roy Mustang...Am I close?

Poor babies. All of them, they're stuck in such a mess.

Could you send updates to nostalgia@yyhmail.com? This is quite a fanfiction. Deeply moving.

This story has yet again caused me to cry. You have so much raw emotion in the story that it is sometimes hard to read.
Don't get me wrong it is very well written and gripping but man oh man is it angst ridden and Emo.

Kudos to another well done chapter!

Eventhough i'd heard it before, the scene where Ed goes to talk to Al got me teary. Really, it was good! Being able to see this chapter grow into what it is now was a real treat, and it's impact hasn't been lessened by that experience in the least. That last scene at Roy's place too, I loved Ed's reactions to the alcohol, and Roy taking advantage of him. Heartbreaking in so many different ways.

Ed's interactions with Al and Roy, the way Ed was using Al as an outlet for his anger without fully realising it, his justification for giving out to him, the fact that still loves Al but his level of screwed-upness stops him from healthily expressing it and the way he went to Roy's house... everything is so ridiculously realistic and amazingly believable. Plus I kinda understand how remorse can't stop you from what you're doing, I've experienced it on a MUCH lower scale but I think I know a bit of what it feels like. Anyway please please update soon!

my gods this story was so dark and painful to read. (or is, since its not finished) i read the whole thing through in one sitting, and i just felt numbed by all the hurt going on in it. your writing pulled me in to a story i probably wouldn't have read otherwise, and i think i've come away from it changed. (or at least my perceptions of this particular abuse and trauma have changed.) i actually couldn't even leave a coherant review for this fic for a full thirteen hours, while i tried to get it all together.

you are a powerful writer.

and on a lighter note, i've realized that i'm now following all of your WIP fics. can you drop me a line when you update all of them? you already have my email address. thanks, love.
