Full Metal Alchemist, "Like a Soldier," Jean/Roy, PG

[mistr3ssquickly]

I love good artists. Whenever I look at drawings done by seven_virtues, I get the urge to write, and because her work is so very powerful, it inspires stories that I-holy crap-actually finish.

This story is for her.

See the art that inspired it here.

Holy hell, darling. I'm sitting at my computer and weeping far too early in the day. That is beautiful and poignant and tense like you wouldn't believe (except, you probably would, seeing as you wrote--created--this gorgeous, gorgeous insight into their lives.

I'm honestly in tears and it's all your fault and I love you for it. Always nice to find Mistress!fic on my flist. :)

[mistr3ssquickly]

It's official. I'm stealing you from mister_pistil, you're mine, don't argue.

I'm so very glad you liked this, dear. I fought it the whole way, didn't think it was going to work out, and it's just so good to know that it hit you like it did. That just makes me so happy and so relieved.

Thank you so much for reading! ♥♥♥

PS
You really need to see this ... ^_~

[pollinia]

Aaaahhh! Ippooooooooo! *_* I am so there.

Aw, you should be really pleased with this. It's so soft around the edges and gentle. *is willingly stolen away*

[mistr3ssquickly]

*blushes* Mister_pistil can come visit if he wants. Just so long as he understands that you're mine now. ^_~

I will love you FOREVER if you'll write something Ippo to post to the comm. Het and gen-fic are perfectly acceptable, if Ippo yaoi's not your thing ... *huge eyes*

*snugs*

Very cute, and sad.

I'll leave a better review once I've woken up.

[mistr3ssquickly]

Haha, aw. Glad you liked it, hon! ♥

*siiiiigh* This was very beautiful and sad... it's kudos to you that I could really feel Roy's pain throughout the entire story, and Jean's as well once he entered. Post-40 Jean really does break my heart... *emos*

But anyway, you rock. Completely.

[mistr3ssquickly]

Post-40 jean is just unfair, in my opinion. Wouldn't be so bad if he were still an active part of the story, but to hurt him and remove him from the canon, essentially ... ugh.

I'm so glad this fic made you hurt, hon, there'd be something wrong with the story if it didn't. Thank you so much for reading it! ♥

[raja815]

I completely agree. I feel so lonely for him, whenever I read about the rest of the tachi and he isn't even mentioned... *sigh*

The pleasure was all mine. ^_^

[mistr3ssquickly]

His complete exclusion confused me, I must confess ... isn't he still a part of the 'tachi? C'mon!

*sigh* Maybe Arakawa will get it together eventually and surprise us ... ~_~

Ah. Well don't, it makes it hard to kiss you again.

go roy-snark!
The man seated before him didn't. He raised his hand, the cuff of his civilian dress-shirt pulled tight against his wrist as he greeted Roy like a soldier, solemn and sincere.

i like little details like that, they make the characters come alive. kind of hurty-sweet, but good nonetheless.
also, extra cookies for jean's mom.

I do love playing with snarky!Roy. I don't think I've ever written him where I didn't give into the temptation to play with his snark. XD

I'm glad you liked this, hon, details and Havoc's mom and all. It's been ages since I wrote this pairing, makes me happy to know you liked it.

Thanks for reading! ♥

Ah! Darn you babe! You know what I'm supposed to be doing right now? Writing an essay. You know what I'm not doing right now? Writing an essay. Darn you and you're beautiful, amazing, incredibly sweet RoyxHavoc writing! And well, needless to say, I loved it - it made me all teary at the end ♥

[mistr3ssquickly]

Gah, write your essay! XD Although you know, I get my best work done when I'm avoiding something else. Like my NaNo ... written entirely during finals week. ^_~

I'm so glad you liked this story, hon. It's been awhile since I played with these boys, so I was a little nervous. Makes me so happy that it made you tear up!

Thanks for reading! ♥

[flamemetal89]

I finished XD It's so totally B.S! but its good B.S with some facts thrown in and it is done! ^__^ I know what you mean about writing during other things though, thats what like 85% of my precalc class is - FMA writing xD ♥

[mistr3ssquickly]

Hahaha. It seems to me that every time I sit down to work on my thesis research ... I get a bunny for a fic. Good for my muses, terrible for my career ... XD
