*curls up in a corner and cries* ugh this was so perfect. BUT SO PAINFUL.

I have nothing negative to say about this at all. It's perfect and lovely, everything I want from a fanfiction. You pull it off so well.

very good story, love the grittiness of the war scenes

nice! I'm curious though. where do you get thode dates?

As a Royai enthusiast (of the fanatic kind but whatever) I have to say I absolutely loved this. You kept all the characters IC and used a timeline that may well be canon. On a personal note, I also really liked this because a lot of the ideas you represented here are ones I hold true in my head too (for example, seeing Riza in Ishval scaring Roy more than anything else, knowing how much he's marked ehr/taken away from her).

And of course, all the angst, without which, Royai wouldn't be, well, Royai. I also loved the psychological spin you have here (ion your summery, first and last lines) and if it was intentional, then I can tell you it worked. If it wasn't, well, you're unconsciously genius!

I hope to read more from you.

This was awesome. I really enjoyed it!

I think it was good that you included the date in each part, it worked well and showed that it had a true place in the timeline of FMA.

Well done! :)
