So... So... AMAZING!

Wow, talk about obsession. I couldn't stop reading this.

This was SO good. Seriously. I loved every bit of it.

I need to see what happens next! Countinue it!

AGH! that ending was terrible(in an awesome way)! my gosh, that was an incredible twist! good job to you!

I AM FREAKING BAWLING!

STUPID ED! GRRRR

Awwww, poor Al. He's soooo adorable! Anyways, very good story! :)

Well, normally, I avoid fics with an AlWin pairing, but this is obviously much more than that. The way that you wrote this was very powerful and moving; it had my gut stirring, and at the end, I felt like I'd been holding my breath the entire time, just captivated by the eloquent emotion and subtle yet striking insights into the characters. I think your lack of quotations served its purpose well, which is thanks to your excellent execution of the technique.

Beautiful, just beautiful. Favorited. :)

Hm. I don't know what I think about this. It's really well written, but I feel like the conclusion didn't feel like a conclusion. xD I just kind of went, "...oh." But maybe that was your intention? I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

Anyway, I really like your writing style. The story flowed really well and I love your descriptions. :D

*goes to read more from you*

This one is really good in its own way (despite the sadness!), but I feel like Ed would get to his brother's wedding come Hell or high water...

:)

This was an amazing peices. (And the lack of quotations? Where you didn't have them - it worked.)

I loved the perspective on Al. Normally you don't really dwell on the obsession - so when one read's the pieces about it, they just hit a certain spot.

I was totally feeling for Al. It was maddening. You had him so crazy in a more subtle way. (Not too too subtle, but subtle enough)

WOw... I must say - this seems both a WAY ooc for Al and at the same time completly... almost too close to his true nature. I must admit the closeness of the brothers relationship (because of the sacrifices they choose to make for one another) could absolutly become their biggest crutch for future relationships. Really the progression of Al's behavoir was brilliant! Wonderfully done!

Oh God...

That's the first thing I said after reading this story. Because it was so awful how Al was digging his own grave with worry for his brother, and how he couldn't concentrate on what really mattered - the present - with Winry and Pinako and his new family... and it was really heart-wrenching how he couldn't focus on anything. And I knew it was going to end up like that - with Al sacrificing everything and Ed not being harmed at all and... -cries-

Anyway, your story was amazing. And I liked your choice to leave out the quotation marks; it kind of added more emphasis. Poor Alphonse... -sigh-

Haha, I loved it. I think I love angst a bit too much.

Ok, that was just so.. Oh Henry perfect, really reminds me of his Gift of the Magi story. I did like how you didn't use quotation marks, just made the story that more memorable, Great Job )

Wow. There's not really much to say, expect that it was beautiful. I espceially love the rather abrupt and almost detached conclusion. And what a way to get into Al's mind as his worry steadily climbs for Edo. As I said, wow.

You were right in that for stylistic purposes, it made more sense to disclude those quotation marks, and surprisingly, it made the story flow together all more.

Excellent job! .
