Ooh, that was quick. I thought I'd wait and read the whole chapter when it was posted, but I caved after about thirty seconds. I'm weak. I'm going to go reread the rest now.

You're making me very happy. Thank you.

I've written fight scenes fast before, but I've learned by experience that if you do - and then post right away - you almost always end up seeing something you missed. Well, I do...even if it's just something like "the guy punched" - and then there's no reaction on the part of the character. Or doing math to realize five guys walked up, but Alphonse decked only three - where are the other two and why does my math suck sometimes?

Revising this evening and adding last thousand words. Don't know if I'll post tonight - major headache after quarterly Ikea Blitz and day o' painting...but I'll do what I can. ;D

Ack, you really enjoy leaving off in tight spots. ;_; I really felt for poor Becky -- hope she comes out of it okay. Oh, and Ed too.

This keeps getting better and better. I'm dying to know what happens next. XD;; Poor Becky...and I hope Ed ends up okay! Keep up the great work! ^__^

I just love the way you folks are worried about Becky. Oh, and Ed. Right. Only the main freakin' character...but we're all writers here. Let's not fool ourselves; we abuse Ed more than just about any other character.

Well, hrm. Actually, in this story I have abused Roy a good deal more, at least on a physical level. And Alphonse isn't exactly scot-free. Well, there's only one thing to do. Beat the crap out of Ed in the next 3K words!

*cracks knuckles*

Haha! Those poor boys! ^_^;;; Well, hopefully you'll write a happy ending! XD;;
...and, um, the RoyxEd fangirl inside me is dying to know if you still plan to end it with them together or not. o.o;;; Gomen! ...but even if you don't I'd still read it, 'cause this story rocks! ♥

I had originally planned a third part, tackling such a relationship (now that they're finally working together, to some extent). But I don't know if I will, though the story will leave that open. Either way, I can definitely assure you that they'll end up as very good friends. ;D

I guess that's all I can ask for. ^__^ I'll be happy that they end up as really good friends.
But you *know* you want to write a third part. ^_~ HAHA! Yah yah, I'll shut up now. XD;;;

Wee! More Restraint of Desire! I love this fanfic. ^^ I hope the rest of what you're writing for the challenge will come soon enough.

Poor Becky...I feel bad for her. But hopefully Al will save her. (Super Al! LOL)

Alphonse rocks.

No, I'm not partial to Alphonse. I'm very fair and equally adoring of all the characters. Really.

LOL Suuure you are. Al does rock. I just worry less about Ed than Becky because Ed has cool alchemy skills. ^^ And if Al didn't save them, he has a good chance of saving himself, LOL (Which he might have to, seeing as Al's ankle's in bad shape. ^^

Yikes, talk about being in a tight spot! And I think these guys are in the process of figuring out why you don't mess with an Elric. ^^;

yeah and probably the elrics are figuring out why they want a different writer from now on.
