Between you and Rainjoy, I am having a grand Friday. Nothing makes me happier than getting to read new stories from authors I enjoy the most.

This was such a lovely little story. I love the take on their relationship and what it will mean now that they can move forward together. *happy sigh*

[inugrlrayn]

Awww, you're sweet. I got all spazzy when I saw Rainjoy had updated.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. This one's been bugging me to write it for weeks.

Okay, I'll be honest. I was trying to suck in all the loneliness and pain that I was feeling for Roy as I read this, thinking that you were going to end it on a sad note, even though you have told me that you like happy endings.

Boy, was I glad that I was wrong. I probably would have burst into tears if Ed hadn't come back because the rawness of Roy's loneliness and regret was very tangible to me as I read this.

I enjoyed the contrast of what Ed and Roy's relationship was like with what Roy's relationship with women had been like. I loved these lines because they showed this perfectly:

Soft lips pressed over his own, like it was the most natural thing in the world. It was chaste and sweet, and was this what it was to love someone for what they were and not wonder when they’d hurry up and fuck you already so they could be gone?

Very, very enjoyable. And thank you once again for making the ending happy. With RL having the problems it does, it is nice to have these happy endings here.

The thing is I was going to end it on a sad note. I had it all ready to post at that part when everyone leaves and he's all alone and sad... and then I just couldn't. XD

I'm really glad you liked it. Hope RL gets straightened out for you, and in the meantime, I'm always happy to provide happy endings in written form. :)

*hugs*

You were WHAT? Thank goodness you couldn't go through with it. I would have been crushed.

As for RL, it's all about the politics at both my job and my hubbie's. Just have to put our heads down and just try and do our jobs.

Thank you for not doing what you had planned to do. I guess I like when there are the happy endings because the anime and movie just didn't give that to us, and I rely on wonderful authors like you to fix that for me.

Well, I'm glad for both our sakes I couldn't do it then. XD

I know how that goes. It's not so bad for me now that I'm somewhat self employed, but my fiancee's having a tough time with his job too.

I wanted to love the movie, really I did, but it mostly just made me sad and irritated to invest so much energy in loving a set of characters and have things not really end well. Glad to be able to do something nice though. ^_^

YAYAYAYA happy ending!! I love happy endings. I only like Sad!Roy when he gets to be happy!Roy at the end! hehe Lovely work as usual!!

[inugrlrayn]

You know me, I rarely if ever write sad endings. Glad you liked it!

[kashicat]

This was very sweet. I would have been just as content with a sad ending, since it would have fit the main story, but this was very satisfying and special.

[inugrlrayn]

:) Glad you liked it. It was almost a sad story, but I don't like how the movie ended, so I generally ignore it. XD

How beautiful! Thank you for posting it. I really hate that bit in the film when Ed goes back. You can see in Roy's face how he feels about it. Sigh...

[inugrlrayn]

You're quite welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
