I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO REVIEW THIS.

I mean, it's not surprising. I don't really review and I just make exceptions for you because you make my heart keep beating. But this is like...is it a masterpiece? Is it the greatest example of your Chronic Angst Disorder? Do you need help or do you need praise?

"We have a child, a child born of your father’s insanity, of our foolish idealism. Your back binds you to my hands. We have a child."

I KNOW I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT THIS LINE IS DESTROYING ME. But I have to repeat it because it's still swirling around my heart like a tornado ;o; I think that it will stay with me forever and in moments where I think I'm safe, it'll be like, no, that's just the eye of the storm. And it will just cut my heart into shreds again. ;o;

But I mean that in a good way, of course!

Remember how I said you need to teach me the ways of pain? I AM MORE SERIOUS THAN EVER NOW. Let me be your apprentice in angst. I want to break people's hearts too ;o;

Sometimes I feel like I write strictly as a way to get your reviews. Like Pavlov's dogs for fic writers. You've trained me well.

Such a very sad, very poetic story.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I liked this -- it goes against a number of fandom stereotypes, and the writing is beautiful.

I didn't start writing with the intention of crushing poor Roy's heart, but then it just sort of happened. As a Roy/Riza shipper, I was really conflicted about the outcome of this fic, but I liked it too much not to finish it (the aaaaangst!). I'm glad you enjoyed the fact that it was somewhat unconventional in that sense, breaking them up. Sometimes life is messy even when we don't want it to be.

Good lord this is so good! It pulled me in, and drown me in Roy's sorrows. It was fabulous. I loved this.

For some reason I like to torture poor Roy. It's out of love, I swear! I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to review!

Ooer, very sad story. Everything went downhill quite suddenly, but some really strong and bitter lines in the last two paragraphs, overall mazing stuff.

Thanks so much!
