    Summary

    If this is what the bastard smells like on suppressants, then Ed can't even imagine how good he must smell normally. What would the full force of it do to Ed's body? To his psyche? It would probably feel amazing.

    Ed hopes he smells half this good to other people when he presents, but knowing his luck he'll smell like dear old dad, not that he remembers what that smells like anymore. Probably it'll be some bullshit like... like... a train car when it's way too hot out. Rancid milk. Automail oil, too, even if he gets his limbs back, because there's no way he won't be cursed with this for the rest of his life. To be fair, he fucking deserves it.

    Part of this whole thing has to be about acceptance, though, doesn't it? So, maybe he'll just... be what he is. For once.

    Summary

    RoyEd Week 2025, day 2: "Time-Travel AU"

     

    ‘First known subject to be displaced in time; ex-state alchemist Edward Elric. By accident’. That was embarrassing.

     

    Twenty-two year old Edward gets sent back in time by eighteen years, landing directly in the path of cadet Roy Mustang. The opportunity, and Roy himself, are just far too tempting to resist.

    Summary

    Initially published 2009

    I use single quotes ‘to mark dialogue’ not “doubles”. This is a British publishing standard according to the Oxford Style Manual, and it's just my habit these days 😁

    Summary

    “I thought it would be worth it to give it up, but it's not,” Roy whispered. “Nothing is worth this.”

    He needed one flickering moment of hope in which he believed he wasn't a sad, desperate old man who had put his life on hold for a career that meant less to him every day, only to learn that he had run out of life to live.

    “What are you talking about?” Ed breathed. “What did you give up?”

    You, Roy wanted to say, or something like you.

    Summary

    "Ed didn’t think anything of it until another minute later when he heard a familiar voice behind him. “Hey, kid,” it said in a tone he’d heard a dozen times before. 'You’re gonna catch a cold walking around in the snow like this.'

    'General?'"

    It'd been years since Edward had left his home world with Alphonse and destroyed the gate in Munich. After traveling to London and settling down, he found himself face to face with someone he thought he'd never see again. Roy Mustang. The catch: it was the alternate version of him.

    Summary

    Normally, heats and ruts all do their own thing, influenced by an individual's own biology rather than any external factors. When Ed's rut hits just as he's about to go on the run with Greed and the gang, however, he reaches out to Roy for help and encounters a fairly significant exception.

    Summary

    Edward laughed dryly. "If you're here you know damn well why I didn't reply to your stupid letters."

    They weren’t stupid, Roy thought bitterly, childishly. “Forgive me for hoping to foster a friendship, I will act more rationally next time and live up to your intellectual standards.”

    “On fucking god, Mustang,” Ed spat. “Do I look like I wanted to foster a friendship with you? The kind of bullshit you’ll say when I’m on my literal deathbed.”

    Summary

    “The Mating Safety Law, or Law n. 9 of 1663, stated that all Omega soldiers must be mated or otherwise, discharged from military service.” – Falman quoted from memory, looking worriedly at their General.

    “The law also states any possible high-ranking unmated Omega must be mated to another member of the military for security reasons. And the last complementary law before The Mating Safety Law was revoked in 1800 due the progress achieved by pro-Omega movements, Complementary Law n. 62 of 1723 to be exact, states also that unmated Omega alchemists must be mated with an Alpha due to the high risks the career offers, the unique bond both designations tend to develop and the direct impact on an Omega’s health and recovery time, in case of incidents.”

    The Brigadier-General said in an unsettlingly mild tone, every word perfectly enunciated and paused.

    “If not able to secure a suitable bondmate by themselves, the Omega have the choice of being discharged or submitted to a Public Claiming, where any suitable Alpha can compete for the right of claiming them.”

    Summary

    It wasn't supposed to go like this. No, nothing Roy had ever considered, planned for, had even conceived of had prepared him for what happened.

    It had been years, and Roy was haunted with guilt and longing, warring within himself. He didn't regret what he'd done, not really, but if he thought too hard, that deep feeling of guilt and shame filled his core so deeply, so thoroughly, nothing but falling into a bottle of whiskey could help him forget.

    Summary

    Traditionally, only mated omegas are allowed within the military, and even then they are unlikely to rise through the ranks, either employed as secretaries, engineers, or forever remaining as privates. An omega major is certainly unheard of.
    But then again, it's not the first time that Edward Elric has managed to defy the ways of the world.
