Oh, dear, you've already stabbed me in the heart in the best possible way. .___.

I LOVE this! ♥

And he has seen it, oh so many times, painted gray on motionless bodies, written on broken limbs and burnt corpses. To see it smudging the contours of Ed’s eyes, though, is something different.
Oh, my GOD, you just write so beautifully. I'm going to have to hold back so that I don't quote every single line of your own fic at you; so far I desperately want to.

I love that of course Al probably knew all along. XD

Gahhhhhh this is so wonderful ♥
