I hate having to explain to people that Ed/Alfons Heidrich isn't Elricest. :|
All songs are uploaded to SendSpace. No, I'm not going to zip this for you. Sorry.
All art in the graphics is from a doujin by the artist /gd_mechano/ and you can download it
here. I don't usually read these but this is so. Freaking. Good. And incredibly sad, because, well, you know how the movie ended.
The pictures with the song titles are the download links.

It's like putting together the pieces of a puzzle, Alfons thinks. Which parts of the stories Ed tells him are true? Which parts are lies? He's never minded solving formulas, finding answers, at least not when it comes to science, but when it's someone, not something that you're analyzing, it becomes much more difficult.

I'm starting to fashion an idea in my head
Where I would impress you with every single word I said
It would come out insightful,
Or brave, or smooth, or charming
...
But for now I'll look so longingly,
Waiting for you to want me,
for you to need me,
for you to notice me
I want the one I can't have
and it's driving me mad
it's written all over my face
Under the surface trying to break through
Deciphering the codes in you
I need a compass, draw me a map
It's the way that you blush when you're nervous
...
It's about how you laugh out of pity
'Cause let's be honest, I'm not really that funny
I know that you're shy,
Just let me sing you to sleep
I'm just a stranger, even to myself.
A re-arranger of the proverbial bookshelf.
Don't be a fool girl, tell him you love him.
Don't be a fool girl, you're not above him.
...
You make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.
