    Summary

    He kept up his grumbling all the way to the door, where he was both stupid and tired enough to forgo checking the peephole before ripping it open.

    “It better be important-” he snapped, the perfect picture of a disgruntled military commander, but the rest of the tirade died thick and sour on his tongue.

    On his doorstep, his hand still raised, finger pointed as if to abuse the doorbell yet again, stood a young blond boy, drenched to the bone and looking at him like he had lost his mind.

    “Yuriy?” he breathed and rubbed at his eyes once more to make sure the child wasn't a mirage of some sort.

    Summary

    After the Ishvalan Civil War, many state alchemists turned in their pocket watches, renouncing their commissions as dogs of the Amestrian military. Including Grace Lambert Rosin, the aging Kaolin Alchemist, who traded her weaponized alchemy for caregiving duties in the household of the Osterhagens, one of Amestris's most prominent families.

    But wartime promises are not as easily discarded as pocket watches. Eager to settle a debt to the former Kaolin Alchemist –– who saved the life of his beloved adjutant during the Civil War –– Colonel Roy Mustang promises Grace an audience with the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric, in the hope that the young prodigy can help Grace with a dangerous experiment, and restore a much-needed peace to the Osterhagen family.

    Aware of the Kaolin Alchemist's bloody history in wartime, Edward is not as trustworthy of "Gray" Rosin as his superior officer. What is the secret behind Rosin's reclusive charge, William Osterhagen, and what is the reason for the Kaolin Alchemist's profound interest in Alphonse, Edward's younger brother?

    Summary

    Dairut is a crossroads. A settlement on the border of Amestris and the Great Desert, a hub of Ishvalan and Xerxian history, it is a place caught between past regret and future hope.

    In Central City, Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye prepare to return to Ishval for the first time. In Resembool, Edward Elric navigates the complicated minutia of his personal life, but remains unable to shake the feeling that his work in Amestris is not yet finished. In Dairut, Miles and the new Muhaddith break ground on Al’Arshif, the sacred Archive, in the hope of restoring a sense of continuity to their long-suffering people.

    Then archeologist Winnie Stokes uncovers an ancient relic in the desert. Then a mysterious cult called the Risen strip Captain Hawkeye from the Flame Alchemist’s side. Then something monstrous begins to stir in the mind of Selim Bradley. Five years after the Promised Day, Ed, Roy, and Miles must face an evil of apocalyptic scale, before it destroys everything they’ve worked for, and everyone they hold dear.

    Dairut is a crossroads. But Dairut is also the end of the line. Things are changing in Amestris, and not everyone will survive.

    Summary

    Edward Elric is born with a healthy set of lungs and two bright soulmarks on his tiny wrist. The marks are bold against his skin, and when his father holds him up to get a closer look, Ed smacks him on the nose with an uncoordinated fist.
    Trisha Elric laughs.
    A year later, when Alphonse Elric is born with an identical set of marks, one above the other on his shoulder, Hohenheim’s curiosity sinks into confusion.
    Trisha coos at her sons’ matching marks and smiles.

    Or: a soulmate AU where soulbonds are familial rather than romantic, and Ed and Al will always have parents, no matter if Hohenheim walked out on them and Trisha isn't there anymore.

    Inspired by "The Rights and Obligations of Fated Parents: Aizawa's Messy Journey to Parenthood" by Hayato (TheLennyBunny) & SugaSugar
