Hi! Glad the suspense is working but sorry I haven't delivered new chapter sooner? I really want to get the last two chapters done and out over the spring and summer. Thanks for being so patient!

I can't tell you how glad I am to see a comment from this year, I check this page religiously for updates still and only just realised the last update was in 2013 - I nearly fell off my chair looking for more recent activity, I was terrified you might have quietly moved on to new pastures.
Beautiful work can't be rushed! I adore the way you've expanded on Arakawa's world, and often have trouble distinguishing your fic canon from the canon-canon when chatting about FMA with an old friend who's watching brotherhood for the first time (she's so confused and it's all my fault ^^"). You are an exceptional writer, and I look forward to the next installment.

Hi River Anon! Sorry for late reply and late update!

I'm a huge fan of Arakawa's worldbuilding and love playing with and building on it - despite my love of non-canon ships and alternate futures! That is a massive compliment, thank you. <3

I'm trying to finish this off over the summer! Two chapters to go. Thank you so much for reading and leaving nice comments.

Please update. I check every week

[bob_fish]

And I'm sorry for the inadvertent long hiatus! ♥

Thank you for reading and for staying with the story. The reasons behind the slowwww updates are pretty simple: one year old twins and a very busy job. I have more time over the summer and am attempting to finish the last two chapters as we speak. Promise. I'll post them both here and at Ao3.
