Disclamer: (insert poorly performed Puss in Boots accent here) Is not mine.

Author's Note: I frequently haunt the Elricest livejournal site, and have seen a few of these sort of posts there, recently—'sentence long' fics. I thought they'd be fun to try (they're a lot harder than they look!), so here I go!

Warnings: Randomness. Each sentence stands alone—some are anime related, some are movie related, some talk about Pride Ed from Bluebird's Illusion, a few mention a fan character created by COFIE-SAN: Vengeance (AKA homunculi Al). (PS. Vengeance does not belong to me, though I have been playing with the character a lot recently. All praise Cofie-san for his creation!)

And, of course, ELRICEST! XD XD XD
