This is wonderfully crafted. I love the contrast between the past and the present. I think you really hit on them both.

Thank you! I've developed a recent obsession with nonlinear narrative, which this isn't quite, but I do like getting to play with time. ♥

I agree with you, they're so cannon that I don't blatantly go around looking for a Royai fanfic. Once in a while I'll read one worth my time but this...this was just awesome. You made it flow perfectly with flashbacks and quirky banter in all the right places.

Well done! =)

I'm glad you liked it! I'm glad the young!Roy/Riza bits worked for you - that they were essentially kids together is one of my favorite parts of the manga/Brotherhood canon.

Great work.

I really enjoyed the flashbacks of their childhood. It was a great read, even for people who are clueless about FMA history like me. =)

Re: Great work.

Thank you so much! Good to know that it works even if you aren't familiar with Brotherhood/mangaverse.

This is lovely. This is the kind of Royai I love to read.

Thank you - I was ridiculously nervous about getting their dynamic right, so it's gratifying to know that this worked for you. ♥
