I enjoyed reading this.

Thanks!

Very intesting alternate scene. In a way, I like it better than Arakawa's. I always thought that Roy was a little out of character and over the top in the manga/ Brotherhood version.

Glad you liked it!

Your interactions with Envy and Mustang were very believable. This was a great read.

As much as I hate Envy's character and saying nice things about him (whether it be canon or not), I love the way you had him compare himself to Mustang, which parallels (in my mind) the scene between Edward and Shou Tucker quite nicely. Very well done!

EDIT: I made a little grammar mistake that I forgot to correct when I first posted my comment.

Thank you!

I really liked the parallels you drew between the two characters. It made me look at each one of them a bit differently. Thanks for writing this, and well done!

[sofipitch]

Thank you; I'm glad you liked it!

I loved this very creepy compare and contrast. There is some truth in it. Maybe you could post the longer version elsewhere (that's what I do after the contest and the word count was mean to me)

[sofipitch]

I will! Thanks!
