Description:

We watched as he promised to give half of his life to her if she'd give him half of hers. They embraced on the platform, the train whistled, and like that, he was off again.

How in the hell did Edward Elric get to that point?

This is a deep dive into the slow—maybe painfully slow—romantic development of two childhood best friends who realize that they should spend the rest of their lives together.

Beginning with a shared evening at the Rockbell House before the fateful Promise Day, the two year timeskip since, and what transpired the months before their eventual marriage, it’s a Winry and Ed deep dive.

Do you like secret hand holding and characters biting their lips in heated anticipation? Put some lip gloss on and strap in.

Notes:

Arc 1: Looming Shadows, an in-depth study of the episode when Ed may have realized that Winry is, most definitely, a girl. 6 out of 6 Chapters. Status: completed.

Arc 2: Home. A month by month breakdown of the two-year timeskip from the day the brothers returned to Resembool until Edward’s proposal. 6 out of 18-ish 13 out of 25-ish chapters completed. 6 chapters are in final edits. Status: WIP

Arc 3: Post engagement. Rated 18+. 10 out of 20ish chapters in final edits. Will be posted upon completion of Home. Status: Unpublished
