*dances* Yay, there's more of this on a Friday night! (is a happy girl)

Ed's horse is making me laugh. I'm a little short person and always seemed to wind up with the really tall horses when I used to ride.

And awwww, to Winry.

I'm so, so, SO glad you're liking this one- I think I distinctly remember doing a little happy-dance around my kitchen after getting the chapter one review, because you're my favorite EdWin author and quite possibly my favorite FMA author period.
As to horses- Hah, I never had that problem back when I rode because I'm a million feet tall, but my tiny sister did, and her horse was huge and mean. My sister had the spunk for it, though.
And I'm glad you're awww-ing. :3 Poor Winry has her work cut out for her here- looking after Ed's a full-time job...

*points at icon re: your praise* Thank you, that means a lot.

I remember the first time I rode a thoroughbred, after riding Arabians and various ponies, and thinking, "Man, that's a long way down." She was the horse who taught me how to post properly, though (don't know if I could still do it; that was many many years ago, and I've only ridden Western since, when I do get to ride).

Ed is certainly a full-time job. No wonder Al's ready to head East on his own. He needs the rest!

I am thoroughly enjoying this! Well written and fun with the kind of justifiable (as opposed to gratuitous) angst that I love. Bravo! And thank you!

[crazybeagle]

I'm so happy you like it, and that you think I'm walking the right line between justifiable and gratuitous with the angst. As an angst author that's really nice to hear, because I can't stand melodrama in fanfic and certainly don't want it in my own. This one's been a blast to write so far, and it shouldn't take too much longer to finish up! ^_^

Oh, agreed! I love angst, both writing it and reading it, but when it's simply gratuitous, it doesn't work for me. So far this one is spot on! Thanks!
