I really enjoyed this, particularly the bit about how Winry bean studying automail and just the focus on passing and how Winry came to decide to return to Rush Valley, and her going into maybe theory and totally new innovations of her own.

I loved it! Thank you so very much.

I really love the genre of "what happens after they WIN?" fanfic, and this is a great example:

Much as she loved Ed, he was incredibly trying, especially in the wake of so large and life-changing a success.

Because when you've been hanging on just to survive, and it suddenly looks like maybe you can have what you've been wanting after all, it's quite an adjustment. I love all the details about what's happening to everyone else, and I love Winry at the center of it, the imagination of her 'origin' and how she goes forward. Great work.

Eeee, Winry hard at work fic! Love it. My favorite moments (there are several) were Pinako telling her to be herself and not anyone else, Gracia being the one to teach her how to be a lady, and the very last line about an automail heart. That's so very Winry, and a nice counterpoint to Ed's line about his fullmetal heart.

This whole story is love. If I was to point out favorite parts, I'd be pointing out the whole story.

I love the progress of Winry from Pinako to Gracia to Garfiel and Paninya - all of the women in Winry's life. Excellent work!

This is really lovely! I love how it was very much about Winry doing her thing and stepping out and having her own ideas, not just waiting around. I love the focus given to all of her relationships and what she's learned from them, and how she'll continue to grow! Very nice!
