    Summary

    “What a surprise to see you here, Gen Asagiri,” the man says. He appears to be in his fifties, maybe - graying hair at the roots that fades to youthful black at the tips, like a photograph developing in reverse. His beard is unshaven, a patchy constellation of salt and pepper, but his eyes are impossibly young.

    They gleam with mischief, intelligence, and something else - something old and knowing. He watches Gen with open amusement, like someone who just found an unexpected letter in a familiar book. “I didn’t expect you. I’ve been trying for Yuzuriha or Taiju since I can’t get to Senku.”

    ---

    After the petrification, Gen starts dreaming of a man who died 3,700 years ago.

    Summary

    Senku’s heart has never been strong.
    He learnt to lean on his friends, to wear a smile and endure.
    But he knew the reality, that his dreams of reaching the moon were unattainable for someone with a weak heart.
    And so, he settled on a simpler ideal.
    And then—
    The petrification.
    It is now a promise set in stone,
    a promise to protect the one thing Byakuya left him, but soon, Senku learns Byakuya left him so much more to protect than a single soul.
    Byakuya may as well have left him the stars, for those are what he sees in her eyes.
    And for them,
    He will conquer the Moon.

    Summary

    Yuuji's grandfather owned a bakery and coffee shop.

    This changes everything and nothing at all.

     

    (or: in which yuuji was born two years earlier, owns a bakery and coffee shop, and he manages to roll with the punches a bit better, or really, he adapts to what he's dealt with)

    Summary

    Edward and Alphonse, that’s what the neighbors would call them. Inside the safety of their house, they were Edan and Anand. The two boys were often told that they were blessed because they took after their father more. They didn’t need to hide when the army checked their house.

    They had skin that was light enough to say it was a tan but dark enough for other Ishvalans to know they were kin. Their eyes as gold as the desert sand, their hair to just pass as a light blond.

    Summary

    Esdras Al-Ridha is born in 1899, in his mother’s family home. His birth certificate, when it’s written a month later by Dr. Yuriy Rockbell, will declare his name Edward Elric. It will name his mother Trisha, and it will say nothing of her white hair. It will say nothing of the blue desert sky he first opens his eyes under, the way he is passed to relative after relative and is held and blessed by each.
    (Even before the war, tensions are high, and hatred is brewing. Tirzah holds her newborn son, with eyes as gold as his father’s, and pale-sun hair halfway there, and she decides that if Ishvala wants him hidden, then Tirzah will not brand him where his genes have not.)
