I didn't get it wrong, did I? I didn't ask, since it wasn't such a complicated thing... and one of my betas has been learning German anyway for a few years.
I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter! Yeah, Al kind of got a clue, finally XD but he's still pretty unhappy.
this is very very true <3 but there's a difference between good old-fashioned elric idiocy and having your head lodged firmly in your rectum. It's nice to see al take a few more steps towards maturity, he's been such a brat. (with reason, of course, but still)
:) I'm glad Al's interpretation ended up being successful. You're right that he's been fairly difficult to write, but then, this whole section of the fic has been complicated, so he didn't stand out so much in that regard XD He won't necessarily get any simpler; his basic personality is still here, he's just become slightly more accepting of everyone around him.
Possibly because the memory thing came out to Alfons, who was surprised? Maybe that's why there was confusion. But yeah, Ed's been taking some knocks. I'm probably going to try reading this fic from start to finish when it's completed - hope I don't find out I've been sloppy along the way XD
I figure they don't really KNOW how the whole mirror issues work, or whether there is an added significance to it.
I hope the resolution will be to your satisfaction ♥
(that's one of the things I like about some of the more old-school fantasy, like Ursula LeGuin's stuff. There was that sense of a beautiful, mysterious world, that was never totally explained. I would love to capture some of that in a story of mine...)
Re: I've been reading for awhile now, but I decided I would comment for once.ketitaNovember 11 2010, 09:57:06 UTC
:) thanks so much for commenting!
It's true Al has been an ass, but he really went through some difficult things. Raising yourself is never easy.... but yes, his nature is still sweet, and he's coming back to himself a bit more, now. I'm very glad you enjoyed the chapter (and the fic XD)
and this is me packing my opinion of the ENTIRE fic in one comment lolseatbeltdriveinNovember 25 2010, 11:14:33 UTC
;___; I really loved the end of this chapter: It was the plural you, Al would stake his life on it. Maybe, someday, he would get used to it. YAY FOR HOPEFUL ENDINGS.
Also, this: Maybe it was some obscure Boyfriend Privilege, that he got to have his own yell at Edward. made me laugh in a way that was wholly inappropriate for the scene. It sort of sent my brain to happy place years down the road where everyone who was getting sick of Ed doing something would just get Alfons to yell at him. BOYFRIEND PRIVILEGE, INDEED
