    Summary

    Edward Elric was the talk of the courts, being a Knight at only fifteen years old, but he wasn't the person they'd created in their heads while he was hidden from the public eye. When he's accused of heresy during the Inquisition, no one steps in to help. But after murdering a man in front of a crowd and escaping into the catacombs, the heresy and even murder charges are the least of his worries.

    Summary

    For an articulate man, Roy Mustang suddenly struggled to find the correct words.

    Every variation the Colonel concocted within his head sounded flimsy, harsh, or downright wrong. Unsettled and sick, the silence stretched between them for a handful of heart-clenching beats as suspicious golden eyes narrowed, continuing to sear into Roy’s soul. Realization reared its ugly head and delved a hand right into his chest, poisonous claws digging deep as it whispered odious remarks. He stared at the boy before him, feeling as if he was seeing him for the first time, an entire week’s worth of denial crumbling away.

    This couldn’t be happening, but it was.

    It was happening and he had been willfully blind to it like a pathetic coward. He’d chalked the flush of fever as something as simple as a cold. The same applied to the presumption of mood swings linked to age. Even the odd habits Roy had brushed off as quirks or stress...

    Never once did Roy think something more malicious had been at play, until now.

    "Edward… I don’t think you are very well right now.’’

    Summary

    Alphonse can’t– shouldn’t– be able to feel pain. Feel anything, really.

    So why did he feel this tightness in his chest?

    Summary

    So, they had a good childhood. Really good, in fact. Then things went bad, then worse, and then... But really, they're practically adults now. They even got their old bodies back, more or less! Everything should be back to normal, right? Right!?

    Or, the Elric brothers return to Resembool, feeling better and all the worse for it.

    Summary

    Edward froze. Slipping his head out from Hohenheim's grasp, he stared into the sun, eyes adjusting to the figure on the balcony. It had Hohenheim's face. And as his father recoiled, asking if that man was the homunculus in the flask, all he could see was that Al's murderer bore the appearance of the only family he had left.

    "What have you done?"

    "You gave me blood. In return, I gave you knowledge and freedom; now I've given you a body that will live forever."

    OR, Edward is born in 1488, and when Father attempts to immortalize Van Hohenheim, Edward is caught up in the circle. Newly immortal, the only family he has left is a man he's grown to resent and his brother's soul, trapped within his chest. Over the course of four hundred years, Edward fights to separate the souls in the stone, because there isn't a world where he won't give up everything for Alphonse.

    Summary

    “You’re requesting leave?” Roy says.

    “For my automail,” says Edward. “It’s infected. I’ll have to spend some time in the east while it gets fixed.”

    Roy escorts Edward to Risembool for maintenance.

    Summary

    It was rather unusual for a twelve-year-old to have two full-replacement automail limbs. Edward typically tried to cover every inch of skin and metal to avoid the questions, but unfortunately, it couldn’t always be helped. When asked the question, “How’d you lose your limbs?”, the usual story was that Ed had lost them in the Eastern Conflict.

    But what if he decided to take a more… interesting approach? After all, if Al wears the armor as a hobby, why can’t Ed have lost his arm against a bear?

    Or, Fullmetal Alchemist where everything is the same but Ed comes up with increasingly more insane ways for him to be short a few body parts.

    Summary

    Edward ran until he was lost. He was lost until he asked for help. And help meant drawing out a map.
    The map lead him here, but it wasn’t quite home yet.
    He’s awfully close, though. He’ll find it. It’s only a hop, skip, and a jump away.

    Summary

    Edward is still stranded in the wrong Amestris. He’s surrounded by people he knew and would rather take off than put up with them all, but the Elric-Mustang-Rockbell alliance is persistent if nothing else.
    He goes along with it. Begrudgingly.
    Maybe one Elric wasn’t enough to break the laws of space and time, but three? Who knows.

    Or
    03 Ed grabs the world by the ankles and shakes while familiar faces beat it with a broom until answers start falling out.
    It’s the Capra sequel. Buckle up.

    Summary

    Edward should be dead. Bullet to the back, straight through his lungs and out the other side. But instead he wakes up back in Amestris, fully alive and baffled. Problem is, this isn’t his Amestris. Someone’ll catch on eventually, so he runs and hopes they don’t follow. Unfortunately for him, Mustang’s team is stubborn in every world and already has a collective degree in conspiracy-busting.

    Or
    I grab post-canon by the throat, break it over my knee and caber toss 03 Ed into the Brotherhood-verse. Chaos ensues, as is tradition with all things Elric-related.

    Summary

    Edward guts him with his eyes, with his glare. He looks distressingly close to tears.

    “I’m not letting go of you.” Edward squeezes Roy’s wrist until it hurts. Until Edward’s adrenaline and fear shake down Roy’s skin and sink into his bones. “S-So stop—stop being a dumbass and help me—”

    The kid’s voice finally breaks open, raw and wet and scared. It strikes Roy’s core deeper than any bullet. Any knife.

    Any impact.

    Ed’s glare comes down on him fiercely. Roy is about to earn it.

    A mission goes very, very wrong.

    Summary

    It was only then that Roy noticed the incredible disarray of the room. Papers were everywhere, crumpled or shredded; almost all the books had fallen off their shelves or were left in piles with their pages torn out; samples of dead creatures were strewn all across the floor; and worst of all, the large array that hung on a canvas above his master’s desk was cut and burned beyond recognition.

    Something was wrong.

    But before he could process that, his master suddenly grabbed him by the shoulders, holding him in place.

    “Boy, I need you to listen to me. Very soon, a pair of men are going to arrive at the house. Those men are going to be here to arrest me. I need you to take the girl and leave before they get here. Do you understand what I’m asking you to do?”

    (Age/role swap-au where Roy is the protagonist and Ed is his mentor. This AU follows the rules of FMA 2003’s universe).

    Summary

    The house had receded into the distance, much higher above them now and yet nowhere near as looming. The first tentative rays of sunlight were touching its roof and dripping down the timber, lighting it up in burning reds and yellows.

    Ed watched as the sun climbed inexorably higher, dipping more of the house into flames until it was consumed entirely by light and he had to squint against the glare reflecting off its windows.

    A new day.

    Edward's thoughts as he leaves behind his family home to become a State Alchemist.

    Summary

    What none of the doctors in Central can tell about Alphonse's body's stint in limbo is the long-term consequences.

    "Muscular atrophy, doubtlessly," the doctor says, and his eyes slip down to Ed's right arm, gaunt and incongruous with the rest of his body. "You're probably realising what that is like, yourself. You'll also have to go through physical rehabilitation."

    Humorlessly and a tad sardonic, Ed thinks that Truth really had a bone to pick with them.

    Or: Alphonse wakes up in the hospital, the night after Promised Day, having to deal with a freshly-returned body and all which that entails.

    Summary

    Alphonse is finally reunited with his body, but the long list of foods he's been waiting to try remains mostly untouched. Not eating for years has left him hypersensitive and easily overwhelmed by even mild flavors. What would have been frustrating becomes downright dangerous, as he struggles to eat enough to keep his newly regained body healthy, malnourished as it already is.

    Riza... might have some experience with this sort of thing.
