FMA: After: The Rain

[branchandroot]

Fic post from my archive.

The Rain

Ed and Roy go for a walk in the rain... at least that was Ed's intention. Fluffy Drama, I-2.

• Associated Fanart: Roy in the Rain by Jedera

"I actually like rain, you know," Roy answered, tone reminiscent. "I used to go out in it all the time when I was little. Especially storms like this. Even when I started specializing, I still liked walking in it. It wasn't until later that it became," he paused a moment before finishing, "inadvisable."

Oh, BWAH! Roy running WHEE in the rain! Heh heh, that's a LOT of fun. Roy's a lot of fun. Um, the fic is. Heehee. ...and the kissing was pretty (I feel like I don't comment on that enough with your fics). Maybe this one just really hit the spot. It made me think of all these pretty things in nature that shine :B

(Ed's so protective and kyoot at the end...GWAH! *tucks him in his blanky*)

*grins* Thank you! I was remembering when *I* used to run out in the rain, while I wrote this. It really did make me kind of high.

My brain is gone. What few braincells were left, are now completely gone, and I can't remember - did you say you'd email me the html for this? Or did I code and post already? Should I get a pizza with everything on it? Should I buy a vowel?

I'm in the middle of a chapter that involves two completely separate timelines for the same series, neither of which match the series' timeline, and every other paragraph I have to go back and check my notes. I hate writing like this. It's making my head fuzzy...and making me forget what else I've done. Gyah, did he die at New Edwards, or did he die at the Federation Hospital, two months before? Was she captured at the lunar base, or while fleeing from Antarctica? I DON'T KNOW! I CAN'T KEEP TRACK!

*sigh*

This is why Roy running bonkers in the rain is such a nice break.

*goes back to read a few more times, just as part of the process of stalling*

*pats soothingly* I'll mail it to you in a week or so. In the meantime, try buying an E.

This feels a little off, somehow. I'm not sure entirely what it is. The characterization, maybe. Ed's probably alright, but Roy doesn't quite feel like Roy. Maybe because he was so goshdarn grumpy when we saw him in the rain in canon.

But then, I haven't read all of the arc that this is meant to be a part of (Era-chan sort of pushed it at me and said 'Read!'), so it's quite likely that this is a place that they've gotten to that's deviated so far from the series that they might as well be different characters.

Beyond that, it's very cute, and very romantic. ^_^

Oh, dear, you really need the rest of the arc to get you to this one. It took fourteen chapters for me to get them together, and another three to get them to admit it properly. A good four years of time, in the arc. Without that, I'm not surprised if Roy reads strangely, and the interaction, too.

<33333 I actually started laughing delightedly along with Roy when he finally allowed himself to be dragged outside. There were other people in the room, and they are now looking at me like I am completely insane, and I don't care! XD EXCELLENT. Ed was great at the very end. A pleasure to read, as always. ^.~

[branchandroot]

*happy smile* Just what I was hoping for!

I figured it couldn't be too long before Ed started getting protective of Roy; it's so much a part of who he is.

Such a nice fic. Keep it up, please! ^-^

*tearing*

Oh god. That was so happily sad. ♥

And I was laughing before that, too. Then Ed came along and snuggled and then it really hit me and *wibbles*

[branchandroot]

*pets* After is so totally the Smush Arc. It took about seventeen chapters to make them open up, but after that they were just... well, like this. ^_^

I've loved this fic before and I love it still.

What can I say? I admire your fics ^~

*hearts* Thank you so much! I do love FMA, especially when I can make the characters go squish. ^_^
