Full Metal Alchemist, "Butterfly 2: Tumbling Down," Belsio/Nash, NC-17

Woo-hoo, new FMA pairing! And you thought I'd done it all ... ha!

I will confess, this fic gave me ENORMOUS amounts of trouble, oh yes it did.

This one is based off of this simply stunning piece by goldphish_bowl, whom I love like Al loves kittens. *cuddles her*

[EDIT]: Holy crap, more art! I swear goldphish_bowl is spoiling me

I don't know how you did it, but you went and made a crack pairing work.
and made me sad with it too. that ending just hurts, it's like fluffflufffluff DED. ;_;
i like the repetition of the 'dear helen' and belsio's possessive streak.

*readies the goodfic stamp*

*huggles and snuggles you to death for reading this*

Even though it's not really crack ... I rewatched canon more times than I should have and I SWEAR they're canon together. CANON I TELL YOU.

I'm glad you liked the story, and that it hurt at the end. Evil though it may be, that was completely my goal.

Thanks for reading, hon! ♥♥♥

I wish I had an emo icon, for this sort of thing, woman! you made me cry! those poor poor boys....all brokeback on each other...and dying and stuff....

meef...

but it was perfect...gyah...i really wish i could give you back better feedback, but words have really left me at this point. their little screentime be damned!--you've got them both written so well! it's just...jesus...i haven't gotten emotional over a fic in AGES...

--it was beautiful--it really was. definitely something to add to the memories.

Gah, no Brokeback! I was fighting the similarities of these two to Jack and Ennis through the ENTIRE writing of this story, because you're absolutely right: they're very similar.

I'm glad you liked the story, hon. This pair was really tough to write, but I really enjoyed them. Thank you for the inspirational art (and the response art!) ... these two are so lovely together, and so canon.

Thanks for reading! ♥

I really, really, really would have never thought of this pairing. Like. EVER. It would definitely be the last people I would think of together, but you wrote the amazingly. I had some tears at the end, because damn it was so sad.

;~; Such a good fic.

Mmm it's funny how no one really thinks of these two together, but they are SO canon. More so than just about any other gay pair from the series. And yet, they're so tragic ... ;_;

I'm glad you liked it, hon, and that it made you cry. Thanks for reading! ♥

Woman, you've fullfilled an old dream of mine with this fic. I've wanted to read some Belsio/Nash since... uh, since the first time I watched FMA and saw Belsio.

About the fic: It's... very, very bittersweet. It always happens with this 'doomed' pairings, but still, it was special. I loved the characterization, the little details, since we don't get to learn too much about Belsio and Nash Tringham, and you developed both as individuals from scratch.

Wonderful, really ^^ I missed your FMA stories! And though I'm not in the fandom anymore, I can always come back for a moment if there are some little jewels like this, ne?

[mistr3ssquickly]

YES. They really are canon together! Just get ignored because they're not bishounen. *sigh*

I'm so glad you liked this, dear. And I'm with you on not being in FMA fandom much anymore ... I write them, but don't read fic or look at fanart of it anymore. Just seems like a lot of it has been done already, you know?

It thrills my socks off, though, that you still read my FMA work. Thank you so much, for that. *hugs*

This is so good! The pairing worked so well. The ending so sad. Terrific work!

[mistr3ssquickly]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. And of course the pairing worked ... they're canon! XDDD

Thanks for reading, hon!
