I'm really loving this story. Honestly though I think this fic would be even more enjoyable to people who don't know the fandom/characters so more things would be twists. But even still there's plenty here that's keeping the suspense. Your a/n says it took you 3 months to get this chapter up, well I'll say for sure that you used the time very well.

As to my point about more enjoyable to people not familiar with the fandom, I suspect that may be a concern to many? most? mysteries in fanfic. The characters don't know who the antagonists are but the readers do, and being in a position of not knowing as the reader is quite valuable. But it's the nature of fanfic in fandoms we know for this not to be possible unless you go in an OOC direction which is the worse option.

Definitely going to be posting this fic as a fic rec places.

I was reading this and I was like 'Wow!'. You're story is amazing and I loved it! Reading it was a pleasure. I can't wait to go and read the other parts. The story was well thought out, and I was honestly super impressed with the way you wrote all the characters. I totally recommend this for anybody who loves Fullmetal Alchemist as much as I do. Thank you for the time you spent on this story for all of us Fanfiction readers.

I love the banter between Ed and Winry- they're adorable!
I'm actually relieved with how you handled Nina. It's sad that she died, but that little girl did not deserve what would have happened to her at her father's hands.

I'm glad we got to see our favorite sunshine character, even if he is deceased now. I liked the tie ins with the Tucker case and I'm wondering how you eventually handled what happened with Nina. I'm almost afraid to know.

So Roy's finally going to open up about Maes. Glad to see that at least.

Ah, so Solaris, aka Lust, has been introduced... I'm wondering though... I'm honestly not sure that I think Gracia would discourage Mustang from looking into her husband's murder. I think she would be grateful.

Loving Ling and Lan Fan's appearances.

This is really interesting so far. I like all the little nods to canon.

This was incredible. 10/10 Definitely one of the best ffs I've read. I can't think of a thing to fix. I'm sure someone with a lifetime of expertise could critique you, but from where I'm standing, flawless. Believe me when I say, bravo. You have skill.

Dang it, you skipped the whole hospital part and made us wait anxiously on your seats! That wasn’t nice. :( But even if I didn’t like it in a personal level, you wrote it well and it made sense for the story. This was an amazing thing and I am SO EXCITED to read the next two fics! I have been binge reading this and not wanting to stop, even to comment, so sorry about that. But this was an awesome ride. You took us on a grand adventure that I will certainly not forget soon. The characters were spot on, the plot was thick and full of mystery and thrills and even for those who knew it before hand it was hard to tell what was going to happen, which was perfect. It was a fresh new exciting adventure with things we already know and love just changed up a bit. I loved it and it is now one of my all time fav FMA fics. I applaud you heartily for such a well written fic. Just... awesome.

Not surprised in the least. I guessed it a while ago but was too busy binge reading that I didn’t want to stop long enough to comment. Figured it was finally time that I actually comment. This is awesome so far. I’m loving and and I’m love with it and you’re amazing at writing and I’m so glad I found this. Thank you tv tropes fanfic recs! The way you have melded their world and story to this kind of thing is amazing. But I really wanna get back to reading so I’ll probably see you again at the end of the story. Onward!

I have to say that I just LOVE, the concept and everything about the story!
I must admit, I actually ‘kinda’ predicted that Ed would loose his arm, but only cuz of my gut feelings. I waited the whole time for it to happend and when Bradly came with the swords, I just knew it would happen

Oh my gawd, you are a phenomenal writer! I can’t say enough how you writing just flows like a river with the characters staying in character, the twisty and suspenseful plot that had me tingling every chapter, the fluff, OH the FLUFF, and everything else in between! The ending was simply perfect but it does not do justice for this marvelous story! Whelp, I’m off to read the sequel! Keep on writing!

That was a really good chapter. I like mustang's lighter

So many references
