Oh my soul...that was heart breakingly sweet. You write the brothers so very well

I really don't know what to think of this... I was so sad, yet so beautiful. You really said it perfectly in the story itself. It's heartbreaking, but it feels right. Like, if Ed was to die in the story, this would be the way it should happen. It's amazing how you were able to make it feel hopeful in the end, even though Ed was dying and there was no way to save him. T-T

I first heard this song years ago, and it was a theme song for the mom in my original novel. Being reminded of it is making me want to return to that story now, so this story had an unintended side effect. :P Congratulations there.

Oh my . . . this is so sad!
But it's still perfect; absolutely perfect.

That was beautiful! Dammit now I'm crying! Loved it tho, amazing. I usually dont like song fics but this has converted me!

sweet sad gods of saaaad I nearly cried

I cried so hard, por Al and Ed!

Oh, gosh, that was...that was so unbelievably sad. :'( But also beautiful. Wonderful job.

Okay, I don't ever cry in fics, really. Almost never. But THIS. I am teary-eyed over here ;_; I love that song, and this fic was so beautiful and captured everything so perfectly. I don't even like song-fics, but this song is one that has always made me thing of FMA when they were still with their mother, so i'm glad that was the song you picked, and you fleshed it out even more than my thoughts ever have. Wonderful, excellent work.

I'm going to go find a box of tissues now . . .

Man, I'm crying AGAIN. How many of your stories have given me an emotional outlet? I've lost track. This was just...beautiful, even if my favorite part was Trisha telling Ed to make sure Mommy wasn't scared.

*sobs* poor Edward... Poor Alphonse! T.T I loved the ending even though it was so sad... Wahh! D':

Oh. My. Goodness.

Geez, I mean, I know I'm emotional and all when it comes to reading (well actually I'm a highly empatheitc reader) but this takes the cake for now. I just... wow. That was very powerful.

Ugh, it seem like everytime I read something I cry over it, huh? Sorry. I AM reading your other work, but I haven't reviewed each one. But my previous comment still stands (about not finding any work I don't like)

OW I hit my FREAKING HAND against the table SO HARD it HURTS and DAMMIT I can't type like this while I'm all DEPRESSED from this FREAKING AMAZING STORY and there is NO WAY I'm actually CRYING. :sniffles:

Thank you for writing this amazing story, even if it is depressing as hell. :bows while grinning shakily:

God, that's such a sweet song. I had to go listen to it twice while I read this. I'm sure that as I continue to listen to it after I'm done reading this, I will see forever a succession of Trisha singing to them, Ed singing to Al, and Al singing to Ed. and cry.

Again, I absolutely adore young Ed and Al! They're so adorable...and ahhhhhh, I loved this fic!
The end was so sad...I love sad endings, though, so that's all right. It was a nice, moving bit of writing and I like it very much indeed.
I think, though, that the middle of it, when Edward sings to Al, might have been my favorite part. I don't know why that little section grabbed me so much, it just did. I say that a lot in reviews, don't I...anyhoodle, good job and I love it.

OMG - I'm bawling! This is really good - of COURSE you can use the illo! I'd be proud to have it gracing this story. Thank you so much for letting me do so!
