Summary
V1 was a machine without a past and heading into nothingness, acting as the only thing he had been trying to run away from all along: Death itself. As the ultimate harbinger of death, he had no joy in life but terrorizing.
It took one angel to change everything, for the all-devouring machine of ultimate destruction to deem life as his most sacred thing. He knew he had changed forever when he saw love in blood, adoration in gold, and salvation in Gabriel’s presence. Logic and utility lost meaning before his gradient presence; his chuckles a strike against the emptiness of existence. The world was no longer to thrive in its destruction, but to gift it to Gabriel. Bullets stopped before his presence, cries of war turned into hymns.
Or maybe they had always been that way, only V1 was the enforcer of the fate he had been trying to run away from all along. But with an angel who taught him to live the life he had been trying to preserve for so long, maybe there waited a future where civilization thrived once more. Built just to make one angel happy—Gabriel didn’t have to know that detail.
Or: V1’s overwhelming love breaks him free from his fate, and he learns to value life to make Gabriel happy.

Summary
Sometime during their unstoppable descent into the realm of the damned, it became apparent to V1 that they are merely a chess piece, moving at the hands of an unseen player; one that is swiftly closing in on the other for a resounding checkmate. At the very end of Hell, Gabriel loses his final match with the machine that unwittingly broke the shackles he had noticed far too late.
Rather than putting an end to his existence, V1 instead takes the opportunity to shatter the board and stop the game.
In the aftermath, both machine and archangel are left standing in the settling dust of the collapsed echelons of creative order. But a scorched earth isn't always the end. Something will eventually grow from the ashes of utter destruction, if given the chance.

Summary
O'Keeffe steps toward the window, eyes fixed on the planet below. If there was any trace of humor in his face, it vanishes upon laying eyes on Rubicon. "...Ten layers of insulated glass and steel, and I can still feel the cold. I don't know how the people living there stand it. Everywhere you go, there's the snow, the cold, the unchanging grey land."
"Pretty sure the chill you're feeling is just vacuum," Rusty says.

Summary
He still remembered the first time he shot a Type 38 from five hundred meters like it was yesterday; fumbling with frostbitten fingers while his commanding officer towered over his shoulder, an ox of a man who’d probably still dwarf Narumi now, let alone when he was a greenie still growing into lanky limbs.
Every shot you miss, the CO liked to tell the would-be snipers in Vladivostok, is someone dead before you get to take another.

Summary
Work in progress. "Search for the value of that which you seek, for alchemy already knows." Alchemy knew what Edward wanted when his fingertips touched that circle, but Edward did not yet understand how value differs from price, how equivalent differs from equal. The Gate calculates with one small difference, and Trisha Elric lives - but the cost may be too high for Edward to afford.
[ Originally published on FFN 16 June 2009. A very detailed, very slow exploration of the creators' headcanon through Edward's eyes - and sometimes Roy's - with lengthy discourses on alchemical theory, juicy helpings of political intrigue, a few near-death experiences here and there, and maybe an assassination attempt or two. Explores in detail the political and social spheres of Amestris and beyond in the context of Roy's ladder-climbing, aided by Edward's presence as a researcher. You could consider this a fix-it, but it's more like a highly involved worldbuilding reboot. Long-running, takes time between updates, but chapters are 20-30k long. Be prepared to indulge and suspend your disbelief. Leave canon at the doorstep; this is something else entirely. ]

It was a wonder he’d ever thought the Army would have been enough to redeem himself as a good, firstborn son. A smarter kid might’ve called the whole thing a wash before he even enlisted. Ee janai ka, or something.
