FIC: Night Light (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Title: Night Light
Author: jordannamorgan
Rating: G
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist (the first anime series)
Spoilers: The bookending scenes are post-Conqueror of Shamballa. Otherwise, none.
Disclaimer: They belong to Hiromu Arakawa. I'm just playing with them.
Genre: Angst/Family
Type: One-Shot
Summary: He wasn’t afraid of the dark. He simply loved the light.
A/N: This post is sort of a testing of the waters, to see if there are any other FMA fans here (because FMA desperately needs some Christian fans writing good genfic). It's been my major fandom this year, and I've written 20+ stories for it that can be found at my writing journal, prose_alchemist. Of all of them, this one is perhaps my personal favorite.

( Much to Edward’s surprise, the hands of the clock had found their way around to three o’clock in the morning. )

This was wonderful! I've never had the chance to see the Fullmetal Alchemist, but just from your fic, I can see why you enjoy it. The connection between the brothers is wonderful, and I I really enjoyed both of their characters, especially that quiet, accepting way that Al supports Ed. It reminded me of the television show Supernatural that way, with a different, but strong dynamic between the brothers. I also loved the way you contrasted the light and the dark. Amazing, amazing work as always! :)

I also wanted to mention, I haven't forgotten about posting your Fullmetal Alchemist fics on NOTW, and I would still love to (especially after reading this one! :) ) I just have to find the time, lol! I started college on Monday and I'm incredibly busy right now. I'm hoping I'll have some time to work on it soon. :)

*g* Thanks. I can't imagine how the fic translates for someone not familiar with FMA, but the brothers' bond is absolutely the soul of the series, and incredibly powerful. FMA has its issues, but there can't *not* be good in a story of love and sacrifice as intense as Ed and Al's.

(It also helps that the English voice actor for Ed is very vocal about his religious faith--not to mention he's an amazing singer with two worship albums to his name. :D )

No hurry about NOTW! I'm wrangling some larger fics that face a bit of a time constraint, so my own hands are pretty full too. *g*
