    Summary

    If this is what the bastard smells like on suppressants, then Ed can't even imagine how good he must smell normally. What would the full force of it do to Ed's body? To his psyche? It would probably feel amazing.

    Ed hopes he smells half this good to other people when he presents, but knowing his luck he'll smell like dear old dad, not that he remembers what that smells like anymore. Probably it'll be some bullshit like... like... a train car when it's way too hot out. Rancid milk. Automail oil, too, even if he gets his limbs back, because there's no way he won't be cursed with this for the rest of his life. To be fair, he fucking deserves it.

    Part of this whole thing has to be about acceptance, though, doesn't it? So, maybe he'll just... be what he is. For once.

    Summary

    He’s seen many different cultural approaches to childcare. Amestris’ is rather stagnant, comparatively. Xing believed in gentle movement for infants, and built all sorts of wood cradles and hammocks for rocking their young. Ishvalans kept infants on their backs for most of their early years, tied and swaddled in place with cloth, and shielded from biting sand.

    Xerxes, well...

    Here, and now, Amestrians believe that a baby should be kept indoors for its first few months–to protect their health, and their developing systems.

    Hohenheim knows just enough about childhood development to question this, but not enough to truly challenge it. Time had proved him wrong before, science and understanding crawling away from him as he spent years turning over other stones. It was as if the world moved rapidly every time he blinked, blurring past him without notice.

    -

    Or: Hohenheim gets stuck taking care of his infant son by himself. He thinks about old Xerxian traditions. Ed spends most of the day screaming.

    Summary

    Truth knew it needed a champion from the day it came into this world. It knew that while it kept the balance from within the gate it could only do so much from within the gate. It needed a champion to do its dirty work and finding the perfect champion would take a while.

    Summary

    6B, 12B, and 18D all suffered a similar fate: Infected by an advanced Logic Virus at the Final War Between the Machines and Androids. Before all their mental faculties deteriorated, they committed group suicide through self-destruction. So when they found themselves unharmed in the ruins of a civilization within a strange circle, they were understandably confused.

    With their Pods nowhere to be seen and surprisingly unharmed with their weapons, they just impaled themselves on, intact. They trudged through the grainy desert only to come across a human settlement, and, shocking them to their core, actual living Humans. They look exotic, with 18D’s hair and eyes and dark skin, but they are Humans. The three were taken in even though the Ishvalans, 6B learned, are high-strung and alert due to the current climate. It was then they learned the ugliness of humanity—It was 1905, 10,037 years before YoRHa created their models and humanity was wiped out. They’re in Ishval, a nation annexed out of Amestris, which, from what they could gather, is currently at war with every nation it borders, with Ishval none the exception.

    18D, 6B, and 12B must learn how to become human or die trying.

    Summary

    “You have seen it,” Ed continued, looking serious. He sounded matter of fact, and he met Roy’s eyes squarely. When Roy only looked confused, he explained, “The Gate of Truth. You have seen it.”

    “I’ve seen something,” Roy admitted. “I’ve been having these dreams. An endless white space, and a giant stone door…”

    “And a featureless being guarding it,” Ed finished. “Yes.”

    Summary

    “You and your brother are the only two of your kind. You don’t follow any of the usual burial rites for Xerxes. You aren’t entombed in stone and gold. You were preserved, for some reason. And to me that suggests there was something incredibly important you must have been preserved for—some greater goal, or purpose, to your life.”

    Roy eyed the specimen closely.

    “Or perhaps you were nothing more than a lab experiment then as you are now.”

    Summary

    RoyEd Week 2025, day 4: Xerxian AU (also technically Royalty AU from day 3)

    Roy and his team are delegates in Xerxes, a place steeped in myth and rumour. The most prevalent of those rumours being that the King's twin sons are strictly off limits. Even to be caught alone with one of them is enough to guarantee probably having to marry them to preserve their purity and honour. So, naturally, Roy's never wanted to tap anyone more than he wants to tap Prince Edward.

    Things don't go exactly as he planned.

    “Then leave, Mustang; I won’t stop you,” Ed dared him, grinning as satisfaction filled him...and pity.

    Summary

    Ishvalans have red eyes. Dark skin and white hair too, but red eyes are their defining feature. Which must mean that people with dark skin and white hair and eyes of brown or green or white must not be Ishvalan.
    And Ishvalans are sacrifices. For the stones and the circles and to their common men.

    Can they even be called human anymore, really?

    Summary

    *IN THE PROCESS OF RE-WRITING the first 30 chapters or so, they were mostly placeholders, there are one or two chapters left to the end of the story, July 30, 2025*

    In a fusion of Fullmetal Alchemist and My Hero Academia, the Elric siblings—Keigo, Ed, Al, and Himiko—navigate a corrupt Amestris ruled by the Commission. Hawks, a winged hero, defies her handlers, building an agency and allying with Dabi to expose Endeavor’s abuse. Ed, an alchemist prodigy, teams with Roy Mustang to overthrow the system, Al trains to become a hero, while Himiko, a blood-quirked ex-villain, finds redemption at UA with Ochako, Izuku, and Shouto. As rebellion brews, loyalties fracture and reform, culminating in a fiery coup against the Commission, All for One, and Father.

    "The white void, her father’s fear, Overhaul’s claim—they lingered like ghosts, leaving her disoriented and shaken.
    Her red wings, so striking against the void, had been a constant through it all—a symbol of who she was, yet in that dream, a mark of vulnerability she couldn’t escape. What had she done? What price was she paying? And why did her father’s terrified face linger longer than Overhaul’s voice?"

    Summary

    After ten years of radio silence, Edward receives a letter in the mail from his father containing two major revelations: he's Xerxan royalty, and he's expected to travel to Xing to marry one of their princes, Ling Yao. While he initially wants to ignore his father's demands, he can't pass up on the opportunity to travel outside of Amestris and learn more about alkahestry - until he can join the military, it's his best chance at finding a lead to get his brother's body back.

    Meanwhile, Ling resents that he's expected to settle down and get married so young, before he's had a chance to secure his right to the throne. Marrying a descendant of the man who brought alchemy and alkahestry to Xing is a good way to keep the emperor's favor, though, and he still wants to find a way to achieve immortality; Edward's expertise in alchemy and ties to Amestris might provide a valuable opportunity.

    Summary

    The first time Wrath had seen Ednazar Elric, he immediately thought that Mother had lost her mind. Because that Xerxesian child had to come from Mother herself. No amestrian had enough Xerxesian blood to give birth to a child so golden and that looked so much like Mother. Mother must have completely lost her mind, creating a homunculus so strange that no trace of the philosopher stone could be sensed in it.
    -
    Ed need to help Alphonse out of his armour, before his soul vanish. Xerxes is the Crudle of Alchemy, what could go wrong if she go to search arrays to take back his body? Meet an immortal woman that look like their mother? Eventually become a spy for the Fuhrer? Fistfight with Mustang or sword fight with General Armstrong? Naah.

    Summary

    Accidentally being born 500 years too early, and then accidentally getting your father killed at, like, 12, and then 15 years after you were never supposed to be born you’re standing in the center of a circle of destruction holding a tiny bastard in a flask as your country gets torn to shreds because of one man’s idiocy. And in the middle of that, you become the sole idiot following a non-existent ‘religion’ for some spotty asshole in a white void. Also, limbs? Never heard of those.

    Safe to say, Edward Hohenheim was positively completely fucked over in every way possible.

    He doesn’t even know why he tries to save this stupid country.

    Summary

    “I want to talk to you, Edward,” he whispers. “We need to talk.”

    “Fine,” Ed says, flat with frustration and disappointment. He kinda was looking forward to getting kissed again. “I don’t think you’re really listening to what I’m saying, though. We’re married, and I’m stuck with you, and if I’m going to be stuck with you I’d at least like to have some fun sometimes where I can get it. I liked having sex with you. I’d like to do it again, at some point. Preferably soon. I’ve got a lot of lonely heats to make up for.”

    Still staring at their abandoned breakfast, Roy asks softly, “And what happens when you get pregnant?”

    Even with his eyes averted, Ed feels like he’s been slapped. Suddenly Roy’s looming over him is a lot less hot and a lot more threatening.

    Or, the one where Ed insures that, even if he's been married off against his will, at least he has control over something in his life and secretly takes contraceptives. After an explosive but cathartic argument, he begins to settle into his marriage with Roy and realizes he has a partner instead of an opponent; and, from there, comes to a decision about pregnancy all on his own.

    Summary

    Ed didn’t expect to keep his alchemy, neither loosing his right arm all over again or staying with the military for as long as he has. He also didn’t expect for the country’s border to open. Well, kinda. With Grumman as the new President Furher and newly promoted General Roy Mustang at his side, they ended the skirmishes between Aurego, Creta, and Drachma. They also returned Ishbalans Holy Land of Ishbal. Of course, there was still complications here there, but that was to be expected.

    Ed, now Major General, was headed for central after a summons from Mustang. And according to the papers he received from Hawkeye, a foreign country called Japan has requested a meeting between a Delegate and their Minister to form an alliance of sort. But Ed has one main question to this mission.

    What’s a Quirk?
