Rating: M

Pairings: Main Roy/Ed. Jean/Ed. Jean/Riza. Al/Winry.

General Warnings: Slash. Mpreg. Sexual Content. Gore. Angst. Oh and cussing.

Spoilers: Most likely. Follows the Anime version, not the manga or the Brotherhood. Movie (Conqueror of S.) never happens. Hughes never dies.

Disclaimer: FullMetal Alchemist does not belong to me; the story and/or the characters.

Summary: Edward has succeeded in getting his brother's body back and after returning from the Gate, he feels different. He returns to Central but doesn't want to spend one more day there; he wants to leave to Resembool with his brother. And Mustang is not helping. But the State Alchemist examinations are coming up and along with them comes murder, torture and human transmutations.

Author's Note: Hello there! I have decided to start this story anew and since everyone left me lovely reviews I didn't want to delete this chapter so instead I edited it and Chapter 2 is actually Chapter 1.

I hope that this story being rewritten is more pleasurable for you and you enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing it! Thank you for reading and leaving lovely reviews! :)
