Really a unique take on the prompt! I like it!

Well, the pants would probably feed them for a week!
Thank you!

*dies* I love this! The dialogue is so spot on it could have practically been canon. Laughed my entire way through it. Great job!

Thank you so much, glad it got a laugh c:

Haha, love this. I too can see this totally happening. Yes, pants does taste better than boots. :P Great work!

Thank you! Haha, I'd much rather eat Ed's pants.

This is absolutely brilliant! HA! I was laughing so hard I had to read parts of this to my son. LOL You totally nailed both Ling and Ed's characters here. I could sooooo hear their voices and considering my recent adoration of Ling, I really, really loved this. This line in particular was priceless:

Thank you, Ed, for cooking your footwear so that I can live.

I about fell off the couch on that one because that was SO Ling! I really adored this one. Thanks so much for sharing!!

ETA You might want to check on your formatting. It was a little difficult to read all squished into large blocks. ;-)

Hehe, thank you so much for this lovely comment! I'm glad I could do them justice. I think Ling is one of my favorite parts of Brotherhood.

And augh, sorry about that, I actually did go back and try to fix it, but for some reason it just wouldn't put in the proper spaces. So I felt stupid and gave up. I'll try again!
