If it weren't such an ambitious project - all that characterization and emotion, wow - and I hadn't been out of the fic-writing game for years, I'd take a stab at writing something about those conversations myself. Someday, maybe. //filing that idea away for now

I know, the characters are all so wonderful! :)

(Ooh, yes, I read and really enjoyed your meta about that a while back, though I didn't have time to comment then. "The Bite of the Ant" has become possibly my favorite individual chapter in FMA, if I had to pick one - it's gorgeous. Definitely going to go back and read your commentary again sometime in the next couple of days! I'll probably just reblog and reply on tumblr, as long as that works for you (I know some people aren't huge fans of using tumblr for discussion, though it's never bothered me).)
