Summary
Barbara Lake thought she had left the war behind her when she cast off her old name to live a human life with her husband.
She doesn't think for a moment that watching the demise of Kanjigar the Courageous is just the first sign that the war has come back to haunt her, much less that her son would be caught right in the middle of it.
It's a good thing that changelings know how to adapt.

Summary
"Of all creatures in our worlds, I chose you."
Jim has tried and failed to fix things so many times he has lost count. No matter what he tries, it always goes the same: Killahead is rebuilt, Angor Rot is freed, Gunmar escapes, the Eternal Night begins and ends, the Arcane Order is defeated at too high a cost.
And, no matter what, too many die.
"Destiny is a gift."
A gift Jim has shirked too long, too many times, never learning his lesson.
And so the Fates weave a new tapestry.

gloria of rubies and gold by asthmaticbee

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.

Summary
He claps. “Hello everyone, bet y’all are confused right now. Well, I’m subbing in as headmaster for the year because Albus is busy with some politics. Don’t envy the guy. Name’s Edward Elric, those two brats here are my kids Asher and Eden. Don’t mind if they run amok a bit, they only listen to my wife and she’s back home.
“So, I’m supposed to tell you not to go into the Forbidden Forest, for obvious reasons. But I’m also not really fond of rules, so if you go in be aware that you might die. If you don’t, well, that’s what detention is for I’ve been told. Wouldn’t know.
“Next, staff changes. Since last year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher died under… mysterious circumstances, was it?” He turns to a very exasperated-looking McGonagall, who nods. “We’ve got a new one. Please be nice to Mr Gilderoy Lockhart, keep the fangirling to after class.
"Alright then, fellas," snake eyes glint in the candlelight of the Great Hall, smile filled with sharp predator teeth. "Since old Albus gave me free reign for the entire year, let's see if the school is still standing at the end."
