    Summary

    "So let me get this straight," Roy leaned back in his chair as if the physical toll of processing this information was too much. "You were thirteen yesterday, but you fused with your future self and now look eighteen, the military is full of monsters, we need to kill the Fuhrer to save the country, and you've apparently time-traveled to tell us all this."
    Edward grimaced. "I didn't time-travel on purpose, and I'm fucking twenty-eight, you bastard."
    Roy cracked the smallest smile at the retort, and the expression shot an arrow straight through Edward's chest. Shit. He didn't know it was possible, but his heart was breaking more and more each time Roy looked his way.
    "I see your fond nickname for me hasn't changed over the years." He chuckled.
    Edward felt something inside him break. The realization barely hit him at that moment; Edward was completely and unequivocally *still* in love with this man.
    Fuck.

    (AKA time travel fic where Roy and Ed DID end up together originally, but it didn't work out so well. Edward is hurting, Roy is trying, and both are trying to not make the same mistakes-- though it's an extra challenge considering Edward won't tell anyone what even happened in the future--)

    Summary

    At age sixteen, Ed had figured it was even odds that the toll he would pay for his brother’s life was his own death, and he’d made his peace with it.

     

    At age twenty-three, sometimes he wondered if death would have been a kinder toll.

     

    Seven years after the Promised Day, Edward Elric's past finally begins to catch up with him despite his best efforts to outrun it. As he struggles with everything he's sacrificed to get to where he is and with finding a place where he can belong now that everything's said and done, he finds support in a place he never would've expected.

    Summary

    “It’s not like it was, Al,” he mutters. “It was still fresh, then. Now it’s just…” A mistake. A five-month lapse in judgment. An old heartbreak he needs to finally put behind him so he can keep moving forward like he’s always done. “Something I need to forget, once and for all,” he finally settles on.

    When Edward Elric returns to Central with his brother by his side, he intends to fully focus himself on the clinic they're opening and leave his past behind him. Some parts of his past refuse to simply be left behind, though, and he's forced to revisit memories of a love gone wrong from five years beforehand that he's been trying to forget ever since. He soon finds himself confronted with a choice: walk away from one of the best things he's ever known in order to spare himself further heartache, or risk everything for a second chance at happiness.

    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.
