Ok, written mostly at Ohayocon, here we have chapter nineteen of Empty Nest. Al came up to me during the AMV competition (Russel was in one of the AMVs, by the way ... I nearly yanked Abi bald when he showed up on screen) and informed me that he was in control of this chapter, so if you don’t like it, blame him, not me

Sorry about the cliffhanger! I'm glad you like Winry with Fletcher. And I'll do more, honest honest honest!!

I can't wait to see where Al has run off to, and why. I *think* I may know where he's going, but I want to see if I'm right.
And that poor boy seems to have radar that tells him whenever someone in his family is having sex, so he can interrupt them. Just hope for his and Danny's sake that there's no equivalent exchange coming here!

(I still don't like this chapter. I mean, it's my favorite chapter in the arc, but I still hate it. They were NOT supposed to lose their virginity like that!)
Poor ol' Al. I really do give him too much angst in this chapter he can just deal with it. Thank you for reading me!

I agree with sailormac. It was very natural and lovely, especially because it wasn't thought through. Especially because of the aftermath. I would be horrified... I've had nightmares about the same thing happening to me even though I know it won't. (hope it won't. pray it won't)
It was disappointing (not as your reader, but as someone involved in the story) That's why it's so successful, because I am disappointed in them, not you.
But you know, it could always end up just being a nightmare anyway...

I suppose it was natural ... I dunno, I'm still furious with them. I held off for five years, waited until I was married, but then again, there were some near-misses that really could have gone the other way. I'm very glad you were able to identify with the characters, babe, and that you're not going to kill me.
And no, it's not just a nightmare. Twenty's finished and posted. Don't think I didn't consider it, though. I really didn't want them to have sex, but Al showed up during the AMV contest and informed me that that's how it was going to be.
I'm SO glad you finally got to this chapter. Now ... look at my LJ background. This chapter is what that's from!

Man, for a fanfiction writer, I suck at typing but hopefully you can get my point floating around in there...somewhere haha

I dated my now-husband for 5 years, starting at the end of high school, and it wasn't until our wedding night that we lost our virginity, because I took "waiting" very seriously. When I was writing this chapter and discovered that it was only natural for Al and Danny to have sex together, I was very upset, and I think it's my own personal feeling on the subject that we see coming through in Al.
And you're totally right, slow and romantic will certainly happen ... just next time.
Thank you so much for reading this arc, hon! It thrills me to no end that you're reading it! ♥
