You know, I couldn't read this without thinking of "Midnight Confessions" and seeing the seeds planted even now gives me a new appreciation for what's to come.

Al being too nice to the overzealous shopkeep was fun, and thoughts of the impending Ed/Winry wedding have me squeeing (of course).

Still loving it. This really perks up the impending Mondays. Also, I'm kind of glad you're planning on stopping before 52 chapters. I don't know if I can take this story going on sequentially for a full year. ^_~
