Fic Recommendation
If you have seen the anime Fullmetal Alchemist all the way through, you absolutely must read this fic, because it is just that wonderful. That's a link to the last part, by the way, because it has links to all the previous parts.
Believe me, this fic is amazing. I was wiggling in my seat while I read it. Me. Wiggling. And while I may often express my joy while reading a good fic, it is usually in the form of a simple smile, and occasionally quiet laughter. But while reading this, I was so happy, I couldn't help but wiggle around in my seat and giggle at certain moments. It was incredibly bittersweet, sad and yet so hopeful, angsty and yet so sweet. And the characters are very well characterized, with every bit of dialogue and every action right on in keeping with their personality.
So yes. Read it. It's essentially gen, which is what I prefer from FMA fics. I don't really ship anything in that series, since the relationship I like most in that show is that of the brothers, and most pairing fics detract from that, unless it's elricest, which I don't mind but never seems to ring true for me. Anyway, there's a pinch of Roy/Ed in the story, but it's barely there, so you can easily read the fic even you don't like that pairing.
