aaah... Scary-piano-teacher-alter!Izumi turned out to be rather helpful, eh? ^0^ It sounds like the kind of thing she'd do for the loverly Elric brothers (both sets of them).
I read the epilogue as well, I just didn't comment on this beforehand because I was too busy crying my eyes out and hustling to read the epilogue.
Gaah... T0T Skeletons is LOVE~~~!!! YES!!!YES!!!YES!!! ELRICESTx2!!! *dies*
---quote--- I mean, the first time we’re “introduced” to Ed’s birthday in the show, it’s the beginning of winter and there’s a freakin’ blizzard ---end quote---
Ed's birthday is at the beginning of February (or possibly late January.) It's canon. When Ed and Al are on the train at the beginning of October just after burning their house down, Hughes, Hawkeye, and Mustang discuss Gracia's pregnancy over the phone. Hawkeye mentions that Gracia's five months pregnant (of course, this could mean, say four-months-and-three-weeks or five-months-and-two-weeks or something, but either way there's a very narrow range implied.)
Assuming that Amestrian women have a normal nine-and-a-half month gestation (and there's no reason to assume that they don't), and knowing that Elysia shares Ed's birthday but was born a week before her due-date, that means that said birthday must occur approximately four months later.
Incidentally, this makes Edward an Aquarius, or perhaps a tail-end Capricorn.
Hmm... that does make sense, and I have no trouble accepting that Ed's birthday is in Feburary, January, or-- as has also been suggested-- March, that doesn't change the fact that this fic is based on the OVA. And it is DEFINIENTLY not January, Febuary, or March in the OVA. ^_^;;;;;
It could be the whole "other side of the gate" thing coming into play, though.
In any case, thanks so much for your comment-- it was very helpful! ^_^

That all depends on where the OVA is supposed to take place. Are they actually in Japan? If so, where - Japan stretches from cold Hokkaido to sub-tropical Okinawa. Are they still in Europe? From the three years I spent in the Netherlands, that would be a particularly nice day for February (especially the lack of cloud cover and rain), but not utterly unreasonable, especially farther south. In the United States? Winter in Georgia or southern California is a lot different than winter in New England.

It's...Over...o_o -falls over- XD Same thing I said when the series was over.
"At the same time, the alarm on his wristwatch beeped" When that happened, something in my house beeped and it made me fall out of my chair ^-^;; To the epilogue! -flies away-
Yay, it is the end! And yet...I'm sad it's the end as welll...However, I'm very pleased that this story ended happily (not that I doubted it would...). My favorite part, however, was when Alex confessed to being gay. That was such an empowering moment, almost better than when he ran off to make up (and, um, out) with Edward...the last entry was a tad bittersweet, when Ed knew his grandson would not "see him later"- though even that letter ended happily with "I love you Alphonse". Altogether, it's pretty good in there, isn't it? I like how the story ended with Alex paying his respects to his grandfather who, in so many ways followed this journey with him (cuz...you wrote it like that!) Overall...I'm satisfied
( ... )
^_^ I'm glad to hear that the ending was satisfying.
WHAT?! ROYxED?! I'm dissapointed in you. T_T Though I do know what you mean; I don't know what to do with MYSELF, now that the story is over. ^_^;; I suppose I should start another fanfic of some sort... but Edward and Alex won't let go of my brain.
I guess I'll write Skeletons one-shots. ^_~
Anyway, thank you for reading-- and for all the compliments! -^_^- *hugs*
I know what you mean as well. I finished my first multi-chaptered FMA story- Elricest, of course- a couple months ago and started on the next one, a three-part Elricest story I affectionately call "Overload", and yet I can't seem to get past the first chapter. I even started another story which features a whole bunch of pairings, including one-sided Ed/Al, RoyEd, one-sided Roy/Riza, Roy/Gracia, Al/Winry, and possibly a little Roy/Hughes
( ... )
To make a potentially long message short, I would love to look at "Darling." (Anything to bring you back to the flock! ^_~) But would you be a doll and send me a link, please? ^_^; (*sooo lazy am I.... ^_^;;;*)
(PS. ZOMG, I SO know what you mean about "diverted attention." x_X It's not even FUNNY how many fanfics I'm working on/should be working on... *is shot*)
