This has to be the most depressingly wonderful I've read in a while. Awesome job! ^.^

Thanks ^_^

same as what the last person said. that was beautiful but sad.

[inugrlrayn]

I've been listening to sad music all day. I guess it kinda came out in this fic. :/

[happymediocrity]

that does happen occasionally.

So sweet and so sad. Is Ed dead or just lost to the other side of the gate?

[inugrlrayn]

Well, when I was writing this, I was thinking on the other side of the gate, but honestly I guess it wouldn't matter because even if he is on the other side, there's no way for Roy to know.

OMG this is so sad! beautiful but so terribly tragic. ;_; I kept expecting Roy to go suicidal at any minute! He's so broken it's almost too painful to watch. Him having nothing more than a hair tie and a glove to hold on to just killed me. T_T

[inugrlrayn]

Poor Roy, getting all the emotional abuse here, huh? I'll make it up to him next time :)

His thumbs rub over the oil stains left on the pillows from days when that side of the bed was inhabited by automail and gold and the smell of wind and grass.

I love the imagery this sentence evokes. Actually, it nudges not just my visual sense, but also my sense of smell. It's so very acute and it really stood out to me in this poignant piece of writing. You are very good at saying so much in a short story.

Thanks very much. I thought about trying to make it longer, but when I finished, there wasn't much else I could think of that needed to be said. I'm glad it turned out well despite its lack of length
