    Summary

    "Four hundred years ago, when we first met, back when I was still an innocent, you whispered words of love to me. Or do my memories deceive me?"

    1538 AD, Bavaria. Theophrastus von Hohenheim, known to his peers and admirers as Paracelsus, is an itinerant physician with a dubious mission. Helena Pfeiffer, the girl who will one day be known as Dante, is a midwife-in-training in a town without a future. The world is changing rapidly, but for Von Hohenheim and his new apprentice, not rapidly enough.

    An account of how Hohenheim and Dante met, forged the first philosopher's stone, and cleaved the universe in half.

    Summary

    Something on his face must have betrayed him, because Dante hummed as though in triumph. “You’re just deluding yourself.”

    I didn’t kill Al.”

    A thin smile. “You didn’t save him, either.”
     

    Everything went wrong. Al is gone, Dante has the Stone, and Ed is a prisoner to the fanciful whims of his new captor.

    'love, for you,

    it's like a religion. it's
    terrifying. no one
    will
    ever want to sleep with you.'

    While Winry was there for Master Hoenheim, along the days, months, Edward has become somewhat– part of her.

    Summary

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

    Predictably, that changes things.

    ---

    In exchange for his brother's body, Edward sells himself to the military, furthering the homunculi's research as the Fullmetal Alchemist.

    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

    Ed wakes half-dead, isolated, with no memory of where he is, and the indisputable fact that he should not be alive. He doesn't remember the events leading up to this, and he isn't sure he wants to.
    There's only one thing he's certain of: he's not alone. Someone, or something, is following him.
    And whatever it is, it's only getting closer.

    Summary

    It wasn’t for lack of trying that she’s in this position. On both occasions when Ed called during his trip (twice in six months, and just to check in—a record, to be sure) she almost told him but didn’t. She’d wanted to, but allowed herself to fail under the pretense that it might keep him that much more focused, and thereby that much safer. Only now does she acknowledge that this reasoning was just cowardice behind an excuse. Ed at his most focused is just as prone to disaster as he would be walking blind into a firing range. This visit only proves it.

    Alphonse reappearing at its doorstep is a surprise.

    And when he shares what’s happening beyond the realm of spirits and demons, they wonder if perhaps the bathhouse is more than what it seems.

    Summary

    After the second Titan War, everything's changed. Ed turned down immortality and instead forced the gods to swear to protect their children as they never have before. Winry has been tasked with rebuilding Olympus, not to mention overseeing the construction and invention of their defenses under the guidance of her father, Hephaestus. Kronos is dead, and with him, Greed.

    Everything has changed.

    But Ed is still there. So is Winry.

    Maybe that's worth celebrating all on its own.
