Yes, come to the dark side. We have better parties!
On Scar/Al (Yes, I'm going to be writing too much. Don'cha just love my rantings?

) I suppose I can see the squick going on, as Alphonse is tres innocent, and consequently, the idea of him being in a relationship with anyone might come off as conceptually perverted. There is the age difference thing, for which I have seen far worse canon pairings, and far *far* worse fandom pairings. (Like... I don't even want to talk about it. *Sniff* Creepy fandom...) It seems most people have no gripes about Roy/Ed, which is a greater age difference than Scar/Al (Assuming we can tell Scar's approximate age. I can't see him as older than 24, considering he was pretty young when he got 'the arm') Roy/Ed is 16-30, which makes a 14 year difference, and Scar and Al, are 15-22 (That's how I assume it anyway) which is half that much; 7 years. Furthermore, albiet cute and innocent as he is, Al strikes me as someone with more natural maturity and wisdom than his older brother. He also seems to have had crushes on far older women (Clara, Martel... does Winry count?), and I don't doubt that he would seek a relationship with someone older by which to let himself grow/be guided.
Plus, Scar and Al can't have much more than warm fuzzy emotional connections to each other, unless someone has found out a way by which posessed suits of armor can copulate, and if they have, I
really don't want to hear about it.
And that is what I think about Scar and Alphonse together. Feel free to yell at me, hate me, or throw rocks at me now.
