I just came across this fic! I really love the plot line before as I’ve never seen a fic like this before. Will you be continuing it?

this fic is way darker than it's cover photo would suggest

I'm so glad to see that this story updated! I really liked this chapter and how it focused on how Riza was rebuilding her relationship with Rebecca, as well as with Roy. I think a lot of people overlook the importance of Rebecca's friendship in her life, and I'm glad to see you including it. I'm glad to see that Riza is starting to reach out to others, like when she asked Rebecca to help pick out a dress, and I can't wait for the "honest conversation with Roy Mustang" that you were hinting at at the end of this chapter. Great work, I'm excited to read the next chapter!

Amazing.

Enjoying the story a lot so far and really excited for the next dying to see roy and riza's conversation!Keep up the good work!

Everyone needs a friend like Rebecca...really. I can't wait for the wedding and that conversation.I'M SO IMPATIENT ASDFGH...just...AAHH The feels...I can't... my heart always feels like breaking at the fact that Riza can't wear a backless dress...I'm crying...

Everyone needs a friend like Rebecca. I would kill for someone like her in my life. I love Riza and Rebecca's friendship so much. This was a wonderful chapter, full of emotion and beautifully written, as always. Worth the wait. I can't wait for the next chapter. She better have that honest conversation with Roy, so help me.

Great story. I’m really liking it so far. I will read the first piece (this is the first of your fics I read). You write really well

So,I'm reading the story again and I must say that he's such a coward? Damn...I can't even believe this...(please for the love of everything that is holy update the next chapter,I'm desperate sry :'))

This fic is turning out to be really good! I love the way that you wrote Roy and Riza in this chapter, and what was going on in their relationship. And it was so painful that all Roy wanted was to see her smile, even if it was fake. And how he kept saying "at least she wasn't alone in her apartment". The fact that he still cares about her so much, but can't even talk to him normally anymore just hurts. I also like the dynamic you set up with Riza and her academy friends, and the way Roy kept wishing he was a part of that group himself because at this point all they see him as is a commanding officer. I can't wait for the next update!

I think I have so many questions...damn! is tearing my heart apart,their estrangement,to call it like that...is freaking painful,aaaahhh! and i swear,the way you write never ceases to amaze me,I love the story very much and I hope you'll continue

Just piling on the angst, I see. Another great chapter and I'm itching to see how Roy and Riza become close again.

I really love the way you constructed their relationship, congrats! I'm willing to read more

This posted chapter is a repeat of Chapter 1! Otherwise, great story so far. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!

I really love the way you tied the murder investigation into the story so well, and how that's progressing. I also can't wait to see how Riza's birthday celebration goes, and how she and Roy are going to act around each other because they haven't really been in a social situation together for a long time. I'm looking forward to the next chapter!
