I wanna be able to write as good as you-one day, lol.

Uugh! There needs to be mooore to thisss! I love your works, and I ALWAYS want more after reading them!

This was just wonderful to read, and the first few chapters were particularly jarring! My favourite chapter is probably chapter 7 cause of all that *angst*, and I just adore how you portray the relationship between Maes and Mustang, it's a startingly credible description! I somewhat liked the epilogue, although it was not the closure I expected and it did feel a little rushed. That said, it was not "crap" and even though I'd have liked to have seen Maes get revenge or something, I understand and appreciate the direction in which you decided to take your story. To echo another reviewer's comment, I noticed subtle references hinting at Envy having been "disguised" as Maes at the time of the murders, and I was sorry to see that it wasn't explicitly mentioned or addressed. Again though, amazing story throughout, will definitely be favouriting ;)

Okay...this is cruel but...oddly nice. *reads on*

damn...this was one angsty and heart-wrenching fic. I felt so terribly sorry for Maes and Roy both and to learn what happened to poor Gracia and Elysia was horrifying.
Maes trying to take his own life was understandable, but that he did it in front of Roy and with his pills...god, that was terrible and awful.

That scene in the hospital room was very emotional (the whole fic was, actually), silmutaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming. It was bittersweet and I loved the powerful strength of Roy's and Maes' battered brotherly friendship, the need they have for each other shine through. It was a very powerful scene.

What also made the fic so good was that it was believable. I could imagine this happening, though Envy in canon at least wasn't sadistic nor depraved enough to attack and violate both Gracia and Elysia. God, bad enough that sick fuck did it too Gracia, but a four year old child too? I hope he'll suffer dearly for this.

Oh my god...this is heartbreaking...Hughes desparation and Roy's unease in the face of it was very hard to read. God, why Gracia and Elysia? That's...I don't know whether Maes will ever recover from it and if he falls, Roy will too. Very angsty.

Wow. I had never considered this scenario as a possibility for angst.
Everyone seems really in-character so far. Nice.
The part when Havoc tells Hughes that Roy isn't there and he says "I didn't know who else to call" absolutely broke my heart. Thanks for that.

It's as you said, but I morbidly appreciate this fic.

I was so legitimately afraid that you were going to kill him. Usually, there's some hope that it'll all be okay, especially in the world of fanficiton. But no- not with Sevlow.
Near the end of chapter 7, I was wondering what I was going to do after this. If this turned out differently, I would have been far too upset to go to sleep! (it's 2am cough) I would have had to look at puppy videos or something to cheer myself up... Still might do that...
Man. I feel drained. That was a wonderful, read though. Even though it was extremely painful and terrible and- and- ... I can't find the words.
Either way, kudos to you for being able to write something so awful, yet great.

I feel like I need to elaborate he's so uncomfortable but he's doing his best but his best is really pretty shitty but he doesn't know how to change it but he still cares so much and hates himself for it because he thinks he failed his best friend who deserves so much better than him and that's the worst feeling ever, thank you for not changing his character to make the drama better it's so refreshing I'm very emotional right now,

Roy is so relatable and honest and human I love it so much

I cried

This was beautiful and heart breaking and amazing. I honestly haven't cried for a fic in a while, and this is just a great great piece of writing. Thanks for writing this, it was amazing.

Your stories make me cry for some reason...I never cried reading fanfics before this.

Holy motherfucking shit
You write emotional pain so well and it made me want to cry so often, reading this
Such a good read, thank you so much
