Eeeeee! I love it! All of it! Super all of it!

I can just picture Al cooing to the cat. And Ed's inner turmoil about the sexing... accidental or deliberate...

And oh wow all of it!

And the illustration of Izumi!!!! BTW I love her outfit. :)

AND the rifle range love and Rebecca's POV re:Jean and the "small talking to of reassurance" and Rebecca being a little peeved with Riza for not taking Jean's feelings into consideration.

AND Miles has a first name!!! :) And Duncan is an EXCELLENT choice!

Thanks so much! I'm trying to keep the momentum up now. Enemy and I had to nerd a bit over Miles' name. I always think of Northern Amestris as vaguely Scottish.

EEEEEEE! It just keeps getting better ;_;

Now I just have to update more than once a century so everyone doesn't stop reading? *_*;

I just made a LJ approximately five minutes ago. At least I get to comment now. XD

Anyways! YAYYY!! I have been waiting with bated breath for this to update. I was wondering when Ed and Roy were going to get around to having the relationship talk. Interesting that Ed would be the one to instigate it.

Zozimos. Heh.

Yay, Izumi! For some reason, people seem to avoid directly writing Izumi into their fic - phone calls, letters, but no actual appearances. *polite round of applause* Good pic and good (albeit worrying) sparkle.

Wait....AL HAS NUTELLA!?!

[bob_fish]

Oh, yay! Glad you're enjoying.

Ed thinks he's so mature. We'll see. There's more Izumi to come.

And yes, Al totally has Nutella!

I hope you're not accusing me of plagarising a cat? XD

No, I was trying to use a cat youtube video to illustrate my enjoyment of this fic series. I can never really get into Roy/Ed fic. I keep trying, but it never seems to really work. However, when it's done the right way, I can suspend my disbelief and get into the storyline anyway.

Have another subliminal message:

[bob_fish]

Subliminal message noted but unnecessary. XD

Ah! Somehow in my days of not checking LJ I thought this chapter came after the interlude, instead of the other way around...but no matter, it's a LOVELY chapter, and I laughed quite a lot at Ed and Roy being so ridiculous, and Al's cat, and the Christmas girls, and Izumi's sparkling face at the end there! She's gonna whip things into shape, I have no doubt. Poor Al.

[bob_fish]

Thanks so much for this! Lovely comments are lovely. Roy and Ed are doofs. And everyone should fear Izumi!

Al's cat owns him. What I can't believe is that I invented this cat before my own, oddly similar feline overlords came into our house.

[a_big_apple]

Hehe, perhaps it was a self-fulfilling cat prophecy!

[bob_fish]

I did write my ideal cat into the story, I have to admit. That my ideal cat is huge, clumsy, attention-seeking and useless made this dream pretty easy to fulfil.
