Okay, yes, you've touched on so many things that I'd figured would happen with Al in the hospital, that you've managed to keep the brothers in character with out turning the maudlin, and given us the info that Mustang's got his sight back, and that the others are in this hospital, and probably healing as well.

Really lovely work!

Thank you kindly! Awesome to hear for a first foray into the fandom.
As to the maudlin thing...yeah, it's kind of a fine line to walk between a realistic reaction to traumatic events and taking it too far, and one that makes me cringe in several of the FMA fics I've read . I was definitely worried about that getting that right for this fic, so thank you very much! :)

You're quite welcome!

And welcome to the fandom. I hope to see more work from you!

Oh! Oh! I just looked at who you were!
I've totally read some of your stuff- some of the first FMA fics I read, actually. They're lovely, by the way!
