Well, this should be interesting. The challenge is on FMA Amino and it is called MothersFMA which is when you write a short story where a character writes a letter to their mother.

I honestly didn't want to write about Ed and Al because we already know what their relationship with their mother is so... I am I just going to pick a random character and write about him/her and their mother.

And a character generator came up with...

Pride/Selim Bradley

Interesting indeed...

(I am just going to get on with the fic...)


To Mrs. Bradley...

Or shall I call you "mother"? Or "mom"? Or even "mommy"?

I honestly don't know, but I don't really care either.

Anyways, I wanted to say thank you for everything. I rarely take an interest in humans, but you were... interesting. You were willing to give up your life for me, even though I wasn't really your son. You cared for me when I got "hurt". You took pride in my good grades at school. You treated me like I was your real son.

And for that, I admire you.

I always thought of humans as war-driven idiots who cant even survive for long, but thanks to you, I saw a different side to you guys.

You taught me that humans are also compassionate and loyal. Though I can't say that I was jealous of you guys (unlike my dear younger brother), I can say that I felt prideful whenever I walked around, pretending to be a human boy. And the son on the Fuhrer too...

So, thank you for teaching me that about humans.

I can't say that I loved you because homunculi can't feel love, no matter what we do, but I can say this:

I'm proud to be part of your family, even though it's wasn't for real.

Take care,

Pride/Selim Bradley


"Pride, what are you writing?" Envy asked from behind the young, but older boy. Envy peeked from over his shoulder, trying to see what he was writing.

Pride jumped up, defensively, "Nothing!"

Envy smirked, "Oh really?" He quickly snatched the paper from Pride and read it. He burst into laughter, "Aw..wittle Pride-y misses his mommy, who is not even his mommy! HAHA! Priceless!"

Pride blushed slightly, "Give it back you ugly freak!"

Envy rolled his eyes, not caring for the insult, "Wait til' Wrath sees this!"

Pride's eyes widened, before narrowing. "Envy..." Pride growled, "I will give you the count of three to drop it and never speak of it again."

"What are you going to do? Call your mommy?" Envy taunted.

"No, I am going to strangle you using your own shadows."

Envy's eyes widened when he realized Pride was being serious. He shoved the letter at Pride and began to run away, "Jeez, I was joking..." He grumbled.

Pride picked up the letter, then held it close as if it was his only thing to live for.


Woah, that only took half an hour to write. That was really fun!
