This story is a very, very different story from the original (massive AU ahead), but it did more than "just a good job". The pacing is gradual but never boring. The characters play close to their canon selves. The format is faultless, the characters were surprisingly in-character for something like this, and the author(s) have succeeded in capturing Roy Mustang's personally to the T. If you enjoy a work where there are plenty of character development, where everyone gets their own screentime, and where Parental!Roy Ed or Mentor!Roy Ed is (one of) the main themes, I highly recommend this fanfiction. And even if you don't - well, adventure and mystery are certainly not lacking.
And, joy of all joys, it's started updating again after more than a year of dead silence.
