Ah, glad the comments pleased you. I like giving crit, actually. I'm just lazy when it comes to opening mailbox. (but joining LJ sort of cured me of my lazyness... of the late. ^^)
I remember that the Icarus story was told on the FMA universe, I had simply never looked deeper into it, nor applied it to Ed. My brain registered it and filed it away for...er... doing nothing with it, apparently. ^^U I liked your take on it because it's Hoenheim who points the similarity out, and there is a considerable amount of irony in that.
I also have the impression that Hoenheim loved his sons, but in a different, abstracted fashion. Being over 400 years old must have made him immune to a number of things, and I believe Trisha was just an exception. Children would probably be a complicated subject, indeed - as you pointed out - considering his first son. (I actually wrote a fic along those lines not long ago, having a craving instrospective!Hoenheim and his interaction with Ed, post-series. The angst potential won me over. ^.^)
I was shy about writing to you because I've been lurking for too long. XD! Well, not 100% of the time: after YYH you went into fandoms I had no inkling of, and I just drifted off, keeping vague tabs because, damn! I like your writing. I just recently became a FMA fangirlsqueeee!!! follower, so... ^_^ Yay for fiction-ness and comments!
Ah yes, other fanficky of yours I'm in love with: the one about Roy getting a post card. X_x That just killed me, talk about writing something short and sharp enough to leave an ache.
no subject
