*giggle* I can't help but wonder if Edward's going to think these mood swings are because Winry's pregnant.

So cute, so sweet, so snuggly. And so perfectly fitting after evil_little_dog made me cry.

[evil_little_dog]

Turn about is fair play, Lyra. *weg*

[artemisrae]

*sigh* I don't know what to do with either one of you...

[evil_little_dog]

Hmmm. Well, I can think of a few ideas but they usually involved high voltage wires, car batteries and someone else's bank account. *nods*

[evil_little_dog]

Awww, good insight for Ed on Winry's part - and so sweet that he wants her to come with him on his journeys and asks her to come along.

[artemisrae]

Well Ed DOES like to travel, and in his mind, that's what couples in love DO. (And also I wanted to write something with Izumi and Sig, because I loooooove them so much. How come I never write them?)

[evil_little_dog]

Exactly! You don't leave someone behind, s/he comes along with! *grins* Good point, Ed.

[artemisrae]

Well SERIOUSLY, can you imagine Izumi without Sig? Heeeeeell no.

[opal_skies]

Aw. Sweet. The elements you put in are very clever. I actually shouted, "OHHHH! Ah-ha!" at the mention of the father-emulating bit. :P

[artemisrae]

Thank you! I noticed a lot of fics do that - hell, even I do that - turn Ed into this wandering soul with no interest in a home or family (when, really, I think that's what's at the heart of the entire series in the first place), so I kinda wanted to twist it around a little bit. Yes, he's a wandering soul, but only because he's emulating one of the healthy relationships he's been exposed to.

Interesting twists, I like this take. A sweet piece. :)

[artemisrae]

Thank you! I had wanted to twist the cliche around a little bit, so I'm happy it turned out well.

I get busy and can't check out the site for a few days, then come back and you've written tons. You know, Ed might be huge pain sometimes (although always adorable) but you have to give him props for dealing with Winry's moods.

[artemisrae]

I think he's drawn to them, for scientific reasons. It's like a big expiriment to him, to see what makes her tick.
