Well, I've been thinking of this pair's contradictions for a long time now, taking everything of the anime into consideration. For me it's a rather hard pairing to write if the fic takes place post-series, because for some reason I keep thinking how Envy killed Hughes, and how Ed would never forgive him for that. Or that sort of thing.
But then, AU-wise, or otherwise series-continuation fanfiction, you've explained very well the dynamics of this rather frustrating pairing.
The notion of Envy the id to Ed's personality cleared up a lot of things for me. Edward as a substitute for Hohenheim, I think, has been touched upon by a lot of fanfics that I've read but have never been analyzed like some of your fic recs.
