FMA: Tamashii: Compression

Fic post from my archive.

Compression

Back with his teacher again, Al takes up his studies; this time, though, he already knows some things won't work. Drama, I-3.

He dreamed of the color, sometimes, nights when he woke up sweating and threw open the window just to look up at the sky and know the whole world wasn't red.

Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch, poor Al. *pets him*

He gets more like Ed every day, doesn't he?

[branchandroot]

He certainly does now that Ed's gone. *pets him* Be interesting to see what happens when he gets /back/. *evil grin*

wouldn't he try to revert to the old status quo but be mostly unsuccessful since he's changed apart from Ed?
Believing -- and having some small port to host that belief -- that his brother's really still alive somewhere is only going to push him harder to find a way to semi-safely, at least, bridge the gap and try to bring him home, I'd think.

They're definitely scheduled for some difficulties, after the initial euphoria. Al has a rather long row to hoe before they get there, though. Not to mention a boyfriend to acquire. *wicked chuckle*

A--wha-?! [blinksblinksblinks] You know, that's one thing I actually hadn't expected. Ed, yeah, I guess I could see going either or both ways. [shrugs] But Al... it never even crossed my mind....

[wicked little grin] Oh, now this *should* be fun!

Awww.. I feel so sorry for Al.

[branchandroot]

He does get the short end of the stick for the first few stories, poor guy. *pets him* Lucky for him I can never stand to do angst for too very long. ^_^

Thank you! I have to say, I'm almost going to be sorry to move the story elsewhere, I'm having so much fun writing Izumi.
