This is just a note to say:
If Olivia Armstrong and Roy Mustang were ever interested in the same thing it might just have to implode in the crossfire of their combined personal magnetism, power, and desire. And that only Ed could stand up to Roy without destroying him or losing to him in this moment.
And that I think Alphonse is going to win it all, in the end. I just hope he can do so without losing anything else. He's the crux of the series in so many ways I think I may've lost count.
Also, why I love Riza #43879569805790:
The sense of humour. It's so... Dry.
