This is a great story.

Very nice

Oh I wish you would update this... you keep teasing us with plans for the future and then there are only three chapters... yes there are probably other "second chance" fics out there but I don't want to read them because they won't be as good as yours... I know you can make this brilliant. There are other fics that you're writing that are "more important" but if ever you have some inspiration for this one, just know I'll be really happy to read it :)
Thanks for sharing :)

Yep finished already... *sigh* Oh Ed, already yelling at Mustang x)
I really do wonder how Ed will go about stopping the Promised Day from happening... Write some more? Pretty please? *puppy eyes*

OHMYGOD one of your stories I haven't read yet! Only 3 chapters though D: I'm already feeling the withdrawal... Yes I'm a junkie (for good writing), what of it?
Anyway so excited!

Ahhhhh! This is so good! I know it's a long shot, but I would love it if you could continue this story. It's really well done and we'll thought out. Please?

Hey, Bell, why'd you stop writing this one, it looks like it could turn out really well! I want to read more of it!

So Ed's still gonna become a state alchemist. That should be fun! I wonder what happens next. Looking forward to more! XD

Me likey... Just as I love all your other FMA stories.. I really like this one... Update it PUH-LEASE!

hell yes. just you wait, Mustang. . . just. you. wait.

i want you to write more of this. . . and ABNE. . . i just want you to WRITE. . . because i think you are a genius and i love reading what you write.

p.s. i'm really glad Ed can still do alchemy just by clapping his hands. i was pretty sure he'd still be able to, but not totally sure. i'm happy about that, and i want to read about Mustang's gobsmacked face when he realizes how awesome Ed is! pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease continue. . . if not right now, then after ABNE is finished? please?

Ahhh, update soon i love this! C

Ohhhhh I look forward to Ed owning up to his words! I'm guessing kinda obviously that Al is gonna be the Shield Alchemist?

love this!

Premise is definitely exciting, execution is going very well so far. Definitely looking forward to seeing it continued! I wish I could say more, but I have work in about an hour and gotta go drop off my kid at the childminders. :D

Wow this is a rather interesting idea. I rather look forward to seeing how this alternate timeline develops. Though I'm very glad in way Ed will still have automail. It just means that he is more likely to keep his title should the story follow into a military setting again.

Though it is rather interesting he still has circle-less alchemy. That means he'll still be necessary to Father's plans. Though does that mean Al will still have it available to him? Should he ever remember? Or because Ed made the deal only he will remember and keep his alchemy the same? Or will they have to find someone else to be a sacrifice?

So many questions. Only time will tell. Please update soon. :)
