This ... just ... wow.
I'm not normally the sort of reviewer who sits and babbles incoherently for a moment after finishing a fic, but -- wow. I have to say that I savored every second of this ... I love your writing style, and the characterization of both Hughes and Roy, and ... yes, particularly the portrayal of Hughes, since so many people try to make him either entirely happy-go-lucky, or a secret emo-kid ...
The narration, the way you tied in manga events ... lovely. ♥
