Something is up with Mustang, but Ed can't place it. He's being very... nice, and it's weirding him out. But Mustang won't let him in on what's going on. Deathfic. Parental!RoyEdAl.

AU in which Creta and Aerugo form an alliance to wage war against Amestris. The escalating violence forces Ed to deal with the consequences of becoming a State Alchemist.

A simple mine inspection goes horribly wrong when Mustang and Ed are captured by Drachman spies. With tension rising between Amestris and Drachma, how far will the Drachmans go to get two of the most powerful state alchemists in their ranks? Rated T just to be safe. Parental!RoyEd.

100 Royai Themes Challenge! Expect ranges of fluff and angst and the guud stuff. 6/100 - Crime and Punishment

Pain can be masked. Life can be celebrated. Art lives to disturb the comfortable, while comforting the disturbed. This is a story about art. A story about life, about hardships, about love.

Rating for injury and violence, just to be safe.

While in pursuit of a wanted criminal, Edward and Roy end up in the sewer system below Central. Things quickly take a turn for the worst. Parental/Friendship One-Shot

Ed knew he was different. It wasn't just that he was smarter than the other kids or even that he had automail. No, it had more to do with the way people would occasionally look at him, like they were expecting somebody else. It was the way his mechanic cried the day she met him. It was the way his dad would sometimes slip – and call him Fullmetal.

Oneshot. Ed is sure he has the answer this time, the perfect solution to getting Al's body back. But Equivalent Trade isn't so easy to avoid, and often the alchemist must give up more than he ever dreamed would be asked of him. No pairings.

(6:50) I thought you wouldn't want to be left hanging re: my dick epic / (6:51) Pun again unintended / (6:52) And wow that makes it sound like I want to tell you the magnum opus of my own dick / (OR an AU in a modern setting where Edward and Winry don't know one another until he texts the wrong number.

In Greek mythology, Briareus was a towering giant with 50 faces. But what about our own towering giant (?) of a protagonist? 50 oneshots from various points of view regarding the complicated mess that is Ed. T because Ed is growing up in the military, so he's going to curse.

Oneshot. No pairings. An encounter with a criminal leads to...his greatest wish being granted? Ed is confused. What's the catch? Where is Equivalent Exchange? Surely, all of this is too good to be true...

It started as a last minute mission, it ended with a train crash and a trip through his old hometown. Roy Mustang isn't ready to face his demons, especially not with Ed in tow. [Parental!RoyEd] [BEING REVISED]

"The blood seal is broken. The armor is empty. But his soul... is it true, Al? Are you really still here?" Edward's perspective in BelloftheSea's story "I'm Still Here"

When the Fuhrer is too busy for an important meeting in a foreign country, the duty slips down to one Roy Mustang. Reluctant to send one of his most talented dogs into dangerous land alone, Bradley decrees that he shall have a travelling partner; Edward Elric. Just when Roy thought the situation couldn't get worse, it was decided Edward would have to go in the guise of Roy's SON.

Because everyone shortchanges them. Because there's really so much more. Because they are the characters that, when put together, have the greatest tendency to be OOC. And that is such a shame. Mentions of Royai and EdWin, but NO YAOI.

Ed decides the military world isn't all it's cracked up to be, but maybe there are some redeeming qualities . . . One-shot. Parental!Roy.

Roy didn't particularly see himself as a protective man, but when the Fuhrer takes his threats too far, Roy will find something within himself he never imagined was possible. Parental RoyXEd Non Yaoi

Edward Elric didn't believe in luck. But, he would have killed for some right about now, if he were honest with himself. Of course, fate had always been stingy with him. So "lucky" for him at this point would probably constitute the ability to open his eyes and speak, while he would still be dying, of course. For some reason, he kept coming back to that. (My Merlin fans: read ;)

His thoughts swam underneath the agony, each pulse scattering any coherency that gathered in his brain. Tangy blood gathered around his tongue, the tip throbbing in protest."So, Edward? Will you join us?"-"Oh, God," Roy whispered. "Don't let me fail again. Not for Ed, he's like my son." Parental!Roy/Ed. Torture. No pairings, just suggestions. Premanga/brotherhood. Rating may go up.

Trisha can't understand; she's terrified, but she has to stay calm. Her boys are gone, replaced by her sons from the future...and something, she knows, is terribly wrong.

.:C:. Shortly after Edward gains his State Alchemist title, he's already run into trouble. It's not even been half of a year yet, and already, terror has arrived on Mustang's desk, in the form of an old walkie-talkie, and a note, saying, "You have 24 hours." There's a new threat in the East, and apparently, he wants to play a game. With all of them.

.:C:. "One day, in the middle of everything, it suddenly struck Alphonse." Because everyone needs one of these days. Heartwarming. Everybody fic.

Mustang, Edward, and all the other Alchemists of fair Amestris are starting to lose their grip on their own minds and bodies. The Amestrian military is in chaos as dozens of its higher-ranking officers start losing their minds to an unknown sickness,

Ed should never have flashed the silver pocket watch in a war zone. Written for FMA big bang 2011.

Because they care for each other. Because they are the central driving force of the series. Because they inspire dozens of fics every day. Because I am crazy, and they are the reason why. Mentions of Royai and EdWin, but NO ELRICEST!

When Ed gets drunk during a Christmas party, Winry tries to keep him out of trouble. But alcohol often loosens people's tongues...Edwin oneshot. Semicompanion piece to Under The Influence, but it is not necessary to read that one first.
