Wow... the story is brilliant!! I never thought of Gluttony's past in the anime before.
I loved it!!! The ending was my favorite part XD

[magical_poof]

Thanks! I'd rather like to write about Greed, too, but there so much conflicting stuff on him that I'd probably screw it up. >_> Oh well.

I've always been a sucker for dramatic endings... This wasn't too dramatic since I wrote it in such a weird simple way... But yeah, the ending had to be the best part. ^_^

[rocketwizzard]

Wow! *hearts* This is just so wonderfully plausible and original. It makes me feel sorry for poor Gluttony. D: All the other Homonculi get their histories told, and ttis is a really interesting take on the whole thing.

Then he bit off her hand and she screamed.

That has to be the best line ever. It's so impersonal and really, really creepy. :D

[magical_poof]

Thanks! Gluttony is the only one who never gets his say.

I actually based the whole thing off of that thought... I'm weird I know, but one day I was sitting around and thought it would be cool if I wrote a fic that was totally flat and impersonal, but it was about Gluttony eating someone...

It was going to be his mother first... But mothers are no fun. D: They aren't dumb enough to want him back... Or give out important alchemy notes and stuff. XD

I like this very much! As the person who is quite possibly Gluttony's number one fan (even mentally-challenged, overweight freaks of nature with acid saliva and a habit of devouring humans need love!), I officially give you my stamp of approval

[magical_poof]

*gaspeth-* He has fans? (-shock and disbelief-)And I thought I was the only one who thought it was kinda neat. Thanks a lot!

Hmm... That'd probably be more likely, since I doubt that he'd magically have the power to crystalize a stone in his stomach... But then again, other mysterious powers were magically bestowed on the Homunculi when they became... Homunculi. I seriously doubt Lust could do that nail thing before she died. XDD But your idea is very plausible and well-thought out. *wishes she put that much thought into things*

I had a rather dificult time thinking of someone who'd want him back. Seeing as it's rather unlikely he'd have a, ah... 'lover' I decided had to pick from the family... Yay.

Yays! I'm not gonna get eated! ^_^ *huggles Gluttony*

I think this is the standing theory of Gluttony, really, but it's still no backstory. He still had to exist as a human before Dante brought him back, and this is the first story I've read along those lines. Considering how it came about, it's really nice~ XD I like it.

[magical_poof]

Aww... Thanks! ^_^ *is flattered* I love Gluttony in the manga though... He's all cool with the stomach and stuff... And creepy when Father remakes him...

[threeonetwo]

Spiffy. I always wondered where he came from in the anime, and that's a neat theory. I like the style it was written in, too.

...-reads comments- Too bad they didn't get to include his stomach-of-DOOM in the anime, huh? xD

[magical_poof]

Thanks! ^_^

Gluttony totally pwned in the manga... Though I have to wonder what his obession with Lust is all about... >_> Were they in some bizarre love affair? *shudders and twitches at the thought*

Maybe... (In the anime) She reminded him of his eated sister! :OOO I'm psychic!

[techno_beat]

Wow, I really liked that. It was different (in a good way of course :P), and your theory about how Gluttony became a homunculus is interesting, as is the veiwpoint you wrote it in. You did an awesome job. :33

And for some reason, I absolutely loved the ending. Hearts for you~

[magical_poof]

Thank you! It's pretty different form my normal style of writing, too. So far I haven't written much FMA stuff in my usual way, so... Yeah.

Thank yous again! ^_^ The ending is my favorite part, too.
