Greater than Avarice by Scintillating_Void
Fandoms: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga

Summary
Long ago, my father stole the powers of God; upon seeing the greatness of those powers I obsessed over taking them for myself. My avarice knew no bounds and I thought that taking those powers for myself would cure me of the deep emptiness I’ve always had in my life. That’s because I was created from my father’s greed. I was cursed since the beginning of my existence to always be wanting more and more. I came to believe that the only way to fill this void was to think that everything belonged to me and to take it all—until there was nothing left to have. Yet, there were these times where something did satisfy me, but I was too stupid to recognize it.
The something I speak of turned out to be friendship, I know it sounds kind of corny at first—that’s what I would say before about it. I thought that figuring out that what I needed would be the end of me entertaining the idea of becoming some powerful, divine being.
Instead, fate has a way of being capricious.

Summary
He was about to mentally go over the other friends he had in Dublith, but a tinge of pain made him stop. He wiped a few stray tears from his face.
"Greed, are you okay?" Ling of course, had a front row seat to Greed's expressions.
"Mind your own feelings, brat." Greed growled. He gritted his teeth tightly then snarled to expose his sharp, monstrous teeth on his outside face.
The pot was simmering.
Greed curled his legs closer to the rest of his body. He withdrew his arms from his coat sleeves and held his arms closer to his chest. He leaned closer to the rising steam of the pot. There was a heavy chill in the air. Ling carefully paid attention to the new posture his body was assuming. He never recalled Greed curling up like this in the cold before, maybe being alone let his guarded, badass exterior drop down a bit. And yet he was not alone.
-During the "Great camping trip of 1914", Greed tells his new "henchmen" to leave and come back with food he can cook. When Greed is left alone with only Ling in his head, his thoughts drift to painful memories of his previous incarnation.

Summary
This is a me-trying-to-process-the-last-episode-of-Loki fic.
This fic starts with a prologue of Sylvie when she renames herself and discovers she is the Goddess of Mischief.
Sylvie and Mobius cope with the aftermath of the events of S2, and try to move on; but it's not as easy as it sounds. Sylvie is wracked with guilt and goes to Mobius for comfort. The bond that triggered the Nexus event on Lamentis-1 turns out to be the start of a stronger, more potent metaphysical link that lets Sylvie recall her memories of the timeslipping. Eventually she gains the courage to meet Loki at the End of Time, and what she finds isn't just him in a way she didn't anticipate, but also some clarity about her own godhood and glorious purpose. Mobius meanwhile wonders about the things in common he has with Loki, and what Loki has meant to him all this time. They bond together about Loki and find hope at the end of it.

Summary
After the events of S2,Ep1, Mobius is still concerned about Loki's well being and gets him to have a brief medical check-up to make sure he's okay and take care of that wound on his arm that he's had for some time. Getting a Loki to cooperate on such a thing isn't easy, but Mobius has his ways, and Loki is secretly too touch-starved to outright refuse.
—
“Listen Mobius." Loki's tone was even more frantic. "If this whole place goes down everyone goes down.""Yes, yes you've told me that already, and I told you already I need a Loki who remains. Look at yourself, all stressed out and you still have the wound on your arm."
"What are you getting at?" Loki glared at Mobius and put his hands on his hips.
"Fine, we'll get going, but first I need to make sure you are alright and well. You need a check-up and a new shirt."
"A check-up? A medical exam? Are you kidding me?" Loki looked offended.
"Yes, the god in front of me needs a medical check-up. Especially after he was pulled from the timestream to cure some weird godly ailment."

Summary
Levi didn’t believe in peace. Not really. Not for people like them, who had lived too long in the dark.
But after the war, in the quiet that followed, he finds himself drawn to the one person who never left. Hange, who always talked too much, always cared too deeply, always stayed. She’s there in the long nights and early mornings, in the familiar routines that start to feel less like survival and more like something close to living.
In the stillness they fought so hard to reach, Levi begins to realize he’s found something he never thought he’d have. A place to rest. A person to rest with.
He never chased the light. But somehow, it found him anyway.

Summary
Beneath the tear in his robes was not the soft give of skin, but the smooth hardness of carbon.
Lan Fan inhaled sharply and reached for Ling’s raised left hand. Its ever-present itch had vanished, seeming real only for its absence. She gently turned it over and ran her flesh thumb along the back of it.
There, etched in pink so faint it was barely visible, was undeniably an Ouroboros tattoo.
Ling laughed, breathy and sparse. “Greed.”
Ling Yao made it. The cost was so high, but he was Emperor; he could change things. He could protect his people. It was, of course, a thing much easier said than done: some of his people—like those who attempted to kill him today—had rather aggressive complaints.
They got much more than they bargained for from a certain homunculus.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is the one where Greed comes back by Ling taking the Philosopher’s Stone. Love the double meaning of the title.

Summary
The world is ending and Sylvie is the only one who can help Loki save what's left. Harder than finding someone who doesn't want to be found, just convincing them.

A thorough guide to beta reading for both authors and beta readers. Neither exhaustive nor definitive, but hopefully a good starting point that covers the basics and explains how to get the most out of an author-beta reader relationship.

Summary
A canon-compliant, post-finale fix-it story series focused on science, world-building, and developing relationships with those Loki left behind, ending in the reunion we all want.
Because I refuse to believe this is how the story ends.
