This is so... ARMSTRONG-Y. Ahhh I love all their amazing, noble, honourable ancestor ladies and how they shaped the history of Amestris (and... hung out with Hoenheim, if my eyes do not deceive me?). The sibling interaction is absolutely fabulous, with their baby sparkles and squabbling and rapt interest in their family history. And of course Olivier was a difficult teenager, ahahaha!

A MOST EXCELLENT AND ELEGANT FIC INDEED.

ARMSTRONG-Y IS WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR BUT DID NOT DARE TO IMAGINE I HAD ACHIEVED - thank you so much! :D (And yes, that is indeed Hohenheim lurking in the middle. Mental canon is that he then burst into tears of gratitude at Judge Berenice Ignatia for saving him, but she graciously chose not to include that in the ~legend~.)

*is laughing too hard to formulate a comment*

I will take that as high praise, thank you! :D

Holy WOW. HOLY WOOOOOOW. Oh gosh, you, you mystery writer <333333333 ( ... )

I have said this to you already, but I will say it again: I am SO SO SO SO GLAD that you liked it! :D If I were not a mod I would thank the mods for assigning me to such an excellent prompt; as it is, it would be, uh, slightly disingenuous for me to do so, so I will thank YOU instead for giving such an awesome prompt! I had an utter blast writing this, and you basically gave me an excuse to fulfill all my dorkiest urges. So thank you!

I just want you to know that this fic ABSOLUTELY HOLDS UP after 5 years of historical research on women in history. My past self conveniently outlined many of the things present self was also delighted by, but present self has a couple of things to add ( ... )

<333 this is about the most delightful comment I could POSSIBLY imagine receiving. I am so glad this fic still holds up and is rewarding for Present Izzy the Graduate Student in history!

hahaha, one of my betas tried to talk me out of this title! BUT I HELD FIRM IN MY EXTREME NERDERY.

I love all the history nerding and I love the amazing historical Armstrong women and the silly, hilarious Armstrong girls (and Alex). You make me want to read a whole novel about the Armstrong girls.

I had way too much fun with the history nerding, I won't lie. Thanks so much - I'm glad you liked it!
