Very nice. I haven't read any good FMA in a while.

Have you read Book in Figure Blue yet? Because I think that backs up this a lot. (Roy does start thinking a bit, that's always been his problem, thinking.)

[thedeadparrot]

Thank you.

I haven't read any FMA in a while. It makes me feel like a poser. Or something.

No, I haven't read it. But I would love to. :) Link? Or something?

[ex_saraswath377]

here. It's very short ^_^

As the biggest sucker for War!Hughes ever, I am shocked that I never saw that before. And while is still josses Masters of War (*shakes fist*), I am still very much broken by the "30 seconds" thing.

*itches to use it somewhere*

I really loved this.
It's short, but I think somehow it's so true that it hits you just like that.

Love for your fics ^^

Thank you! I'm always a little surprised that people actually read my stuff at all, so, yeah. Yay!

i have to remember to breathe when reading your work. and here i go with a long awaited exhale of breath. your work is still incredibly poignant, poetic, and perfect in every way!

the single line that got me the most: And as always, the silence remains. The white elephant in the room.

strange and beautiful. reminds me of aqualung. haha.

anyways~ bravo, bravo!

[thedeadparrot]

Dude. Breathe. :) And thank you.

Also: yay. I love that Aqualung song. :)

[dulcetine]

oh yes. i will remember to breathe regularly when reading your most wonderous and breathtaking stories. haha.

meanwhile, dood... i LOVE your HR soundtrack, changes are no good. at least, i recall that was what it was titled. i ripped it onto my ipod and cannot stop listening to it. bravo!

and aqualung is wonderful. yay. you listen to great bands.

I'm glad you got as much enjoyment out of listening to the soundtrack as I did making it. I'm still quite pleased at how it came out (which is more than I can say for most of the stuff I make).
