Summary
After almost a year Ed is no closer to destroying Voldemort's Horcruxes, but at least he's managed to get rid of his grandfather's - he tries to stay optimistic.
Now if only the Death Eaters didn't ruin his summer holidays, and some fuckwit didn't try to get Harry killed. Again.
Oh, and whoever decided hormones are a thing can kindly fuck off.
-----
Or: Ed dealing with the Triwizard Tournament, teen drama and politics, because the universe hates him and his entire bloodline.

The Crimson Alchemist never went to prison, and instead was the man sent to look into the Elric Brothers.
Predictably, that changes things.

Summary
Once, Pride was the oldest homunculus.
Now he’s the youngest.
---
Edward Elric is dying, and his father makes a deal with the devil to save him.
Things spiral from there, because of course they do.
---
Previously "the higher we climb, the farther we fall (such pride, such deceit)", changed title to fit better with the naming scheme of the series!

Summary
Eight years can make a lot of difference.
Edward Elric, youngest State Alchemist in history, is 15 when Executive Order 3066 takes effect, turning a civil war into genocide.
All State Alchemists are to serve at the front lines of Ishval and kill indiscriminately, humans turned weapons.
--
Ed shields his eyes against the blazing desert sun of Ishval and tries to ignore the way his white glove is stained red, pretends it’s oil instead of blood.
There is a wave of heat from somewhere to his right and up ahead, yards away but unnaturally strong, and the wind carries with it screams and the smell of burning flesh.
A shot echoes through the stillness of the high noon, and he counts to five in his head. Another shot.
