Author's note

Hi, I'm SapphireClaw. While reading this, Keep in mind that I am still a noob in more ways than one here on fanfiction. I'm l working out the kinks and getting used to this.

I have been reading the few warrior cat FMA crossover stories there are here on fanfiction. It truly surprised me that there were so many, at least 10! But after reading some, I realized 90% (if not all) of the stories were discontinued or haven't been updated in FOREEEVER. all of them were Awesome Sauce. But a couple were weird or sloppy.

I shouldn't be talking, I'm a noob at this site but not a newbie at writing. So I can't go around distinguishing good from bad on another's work. And besides, the worst one was probably due to a computer glitch. It had no punctuation whatsoever. Even then it was still an interesting story.

I gotta say, if you want to write a fanfiction on a subject, do NOT read ones that others have made before starting your own. I feel this way cuz the author's stories were great! They had funny parts, good personality and point of view. After a while of reading them, you feel the urge to put some of their ideas into your own story.

But to me, it is a BIG no-no to steal another's idea. I am hard on myself if I do that kind of stuff. But it's hard to bypass all these great and funny story ideas (even if they are only a small scene during a story), that come from a story that was discontinued! I feel sad to think that these funny bits and pieces are in a story that will never be finished.

But what I am trying to say is if you see a piece of my story that looks familiar to you, I apologize in advance. I am easily distracted and might sway from the plot a little or take a while to post another chapter, but I'll try to stay on track!

PS: the time spent in Amestris before the Warriors part will be quite long. Although I have no idea what it will be... Wait... I just had an idea! It's going to be even longer as a result so you'll have to wait a while for kitties. And it's kinda a mean idea.. Muahaha! :3

PSS: author's notes will be in ( ). Important ones will always be between paragraphs.

Also, just because I need to say it. THERE ARE NO COUPLES! other than the ones already existing in the books and anime. Even those don't even play a major role here anyway. Except for cat friends Ed gain while in the warrior world. But other than that there isn't really any personal/ unusual/awkward emotion between characters with no prior history.

Last PS, I promise!: I also tend to describe Edward's personality (and Ed in general) as younger. I just like how he acted before he was older, when he was more of a dork. Although he seems young in this story, remember that he's older, k? :3

CONTEXT
This story takes place after Alphonse has his body back. I REALLY disagreed with the brotherhood ending (but loved it nonetheless cuz it was bad-assed C:) with Ed loosing his alchemy and all. So let's just say that Ed keeps both his brother, AND his alchemy!

Happy day!...…

Right? (muahhha! :D)

(I lied :D, ANOTHER PSSS): since Ed can preform alchemy, he is still part of the military. But Alphonse is not part of the Military (not professionally/ officially anyway) although he helps out often.

Wow... That was a looooong author's note... Sorry!
