It's a very good story, but a little tip: if it contains "mild swearing," then it's not rated G. A G-rated story would not contain any. But outside of that, GREAT job.

Thank you, both for your appreciation and your remark. So then is it PG or PG-13?

Oh, quite interesting. Like the idea of Riza watching over Havoc (I actually like to think she's watching her whole team and not just Mustang ;) ). Great work!

As for the rating, I would go with PG since I seemed to only catch one swearing word. It seemed you already edited the rating though, LOL.

Ahah, I'm the girl who edits faster than her shadow...

I'm glad you liked it :D I think it actually makes more sense that she should be watching over soldiers like Havoc. Alchemists like Roy or Kimblee can fight long distance and I don't see them, human weapons, be asked to patrol afterwards.

A very personnal story (not quite as personal as the one about Knox, but what is?) with an effective sense of restrained frustration. Really like this.

This was very effective. I like the idea of Havoc's prior experience with Hawkeye figuring into his decision to stay with Mustang.
