True North | Edward Elric

summary: ed has thoughts about his soulmate. Soulmate AU, fluff/angst.

word count: 1.5k

a/n: instead of doing my English assignment (which is the same amount of words, mind you), I decided to do this. First fic for the FMA fandom (finally)! Please enjoy <3

Ed could be considered the perfect example of a man of science. After all, despite all his loud and often-inflammatory (to his poor brother’s lament) proclamations against God, he treated science, specifically Alchemy, as a sort of religion itself — he knelt at its altars (or the arrays) and clasped his hands together “in prayer” to make miracles happen. Miracles that were completely logical and comprehensible to him, regardless of their complexity or intricacy.

But one thing still baffled him: one thing that was proven and real, and yet had no scientific basis whatsoever.

The soulmate bond.

Plenty of alchemists have been trying to figure it out for centuries. What makes one seek out their so-called “one true love”? What causes the tug, the force of which increased every passing year after one’s 15th birthday, or the closer you were to that person? What are the deciding factors as to one’s soulmate? These were questions that were slaved over, entire lives spent trying to puzzle out, volumes upon volumes of journals and articles dedicated to the phenomenon; and yet, there was no conclusive answer.

He didn’t like not having answers.

He especially didn’t like how crazy it drove his little brother.

“But isn’t it wonderful to think about, Brother?” He bites back a groan, but still rolls his eyes violently as Al started on another rant about the phenomenon. “A tangible link to the person you’re fated to be with!”

“Yeah, it’s a real doozy.” Ed mumbles, rolling his eyes. “Can we maybe get back to our research?”

Al sighs, and even though he can’t see it, he knows the brat’s shooting him that look — “Why are you so pig-headed, Brother?”, he can hear his innocent little voice.

“Brother…” Al starts off, armor creaking as he shifts behind him. “Haven’t you gotten your soulmate link yet?”

Ed stiffens, page in mid-turn.

Alphonse had been kind enough not to ask, but he’s been expecting the kid to pop the question for weeks now. After all, there was no one more romantic than his little brother; that much was obvious from the novels he snuck around and hid from him.

(And who could have given him those novels except-)

He shakes his head, knocking the thoughts of that person out as well.

“Sorry to disappoint, bud.” He sounds more confident than he feels, that eternal pressure tugging behind his sternum again. “Do me a favor and go through that pile over there, okay-?”

“And you call the Colonel a slavedriver.” A dulcet voice tsks behind him and he stiffens again.

Alphonse doesn’t notice, too caught up in greeting you, clambering up with a delighted call of your name.

The pressure burns now, causing a tremendous aching that makes him squeeze his eyes shut to push past it.

It just had to be you, didn’t it?

He flashes a smile over his shoulder, lifting his hand in a slight wave before going back to his research. Another person might be offended, but of course you aren’t.

You’re an understanding person, after all, who (as a part-time employee) sees all types in this library that the Elrics put up shop in for days at a time.

You’re a sweet person, who smiles gently when you not-so-subtly threaten to kick them out if they don’t take care of themselves.

It’s not that surprising it’s you.

For a little while, he thought it was Winry, as his heart kept tugging endlessly towards the direction in which the train to Resembool always ran.

It’s not until a month after his birthday that you returned, recounting your hometown visit (only a town over from where he grew up), and his chest almost exploded as you walked in, that he realized who his soulmate was.

There could have been worse soulmates, he thought as he watched you speak to Alphonse over his shoulder, not nearly as sly as he wished to be.

You and Al were such great friends — sure, it pissed him off a little, doubly jealous as both of you took up so much of the other’s attention — but it would’ve devastated him if you guys couldn’t get along.

You weren’t difficult on the eyes either — but that could have been the effect of his feelings or the soulmate bond, because though you were the most gorgeous thing he ever laid eyes on, he knew logically that you couldn’t have been the prettiest person in the world… but it sure did feel like it, though.

You were pretty smart — of course, he wouldn’t have cared if you weren’t, not everyone could be the prodigies he and his brother were, but he liked that you could follow along with the basics of what he was saying… even if you were completely uninterested in alchemy.

Which brought him to perhaps your most important quality, your patience. You sat there, day in and day out, listening to his rants and rambles even when it got to the point that common courtesy would have allowed you to flip him off and walk away.

And you just watched him from under Alphonse’s arm with gentle eyes, even though you both knew you were each other’s soulmates.

“Before I forget,” You interrupt Al, looking apologetic. “That new book you were asking about-“

“The one with the-?!” Al stops abruptly, snapping to look at Ed — who, in a moment of utter grace, flips around hard enough to bang both his elbow and his knee on the table.

But the pain and embarrassment might have been worth it to hear your laugh, loud and snorting and musical to his ears.

“I’ll go pick it up right now.” Al whispers way too loud, making you snicker. “Go distract Brother.”

“You got it!” You whisper just as loud, and Al giggles before sneaking off.

Ed bites the inside of his cheek, trying to will his cheeks back to their normal color when you plop down next to him, leaning your head on your palm.

“You ever gonna tell Alphonse? Or even make a move on me?” You were blunt too, awesomely to-the-point even to military officials like State Alchemists. Even Mustang went silent that one time you saw him berating your soulmate and stepped in, asking him about a book that was considerably overdue. He walked away with his chin held high, yet trembling under the disapproving glare of the Lieutenant.

Ed sighs. He knows you deserve better than him. He’s not unaware of how painful this if for you — it’s just as bad for him. He was never interested in romance or soulmates beyond a few discussions between the brothers and Winry about what they wanted their soulmates to be like… which usually ended with Alphonse rolling his eyes and Winry declaring that he would die alone.

He remembers declaring that he would be fine if he never had a soulmate. After all, his mom and that tall, bearded jerk who fathered him were soulmates. The stories their mother told the boys, twinkly-eyes and nostalgic, were what rooted their views on the concept: Alphonse yearned for it, deeply, and Ed grew bitter about it, understanding that even soulmates could ditch you and your two kids.

Until he met you, and suddenly he wanted… more. He wanted to try, to learn, for you. He knew you deserved so much, and even though he wasn’t sure he could give them to you, he wanted so bad to try. He was overcome with guilt and longing every time he saw your beautiful eyes.

But there was another guilt, a greater guilt and responsibility that came first. He mumbled your name forlornly, wishing so bad that he could say it the way he wanted to.

“I have to focus on this first. You know-“

“I know, I know.” You nod, but your eyes at downcast now, and he hates himself so much more now. “It would be nice to be acknowledged, though.”

He leans forward, putting his hand over yours.

You gasp; Ed’s not one to initiate physical contact, having jumped away the first time your skin touched his. The intense look in his eyes as they fix on your face doesn’t help, either.

“I’m gonna do right by you.” He swears right then and there, in his sacred place of worship, surrounded by the greatest works on Alchemy. “I’ll get mine and Al’s bodies back, and I’ll come find you.”

“Yeah?” You breathe out, eloquence stolen from you by his determination.

“Yeah.” He nods, squeezing your hand, a small smile curling up his lips. “I’ll take you to that café you like. It’ll be nice.”

A sudden urge to take it back, to pick another destination you might like better throws him; a café, how dumb was that?! You went there all the time! He couldn’t think of anything better than that?!

But you surprise him, laughing and biting your lip.

“Sounds great.” You say, completely genuine. At the sound of heavy footsteps, you rise, readying yourself to take your leave.

As you round the bookshelf that obscures his workspace from the rest of the world however, you stop for a moment, looking back.

“And once you’re done, you know how to find me.”

And you go, with a cute smile on your face.

And his heart tugs.

Edward and Alphonse finding out you like being tickled

Tea Type: Rose Boba

Potential Triggers: Invasion of privacy in Ed's, please don't actually steal/read anyone's diary unless they're explicitly cool with it, even if you're partners! Just so this is clear both Edward and Alphonse are of age here and been in a relationship for a while! Also this is post '03, not Brotherhood!

Pairing: Edward/F! Reader, Alphonse/F! Reader

Length: 983

Summary: N/A

Edward Elric:

“W-What?!”

Edward could hardly believe what he’d just read, eyes wide with disbelief. 

It was meant to be a joke; a harmless prank as you banged frantically on the door, a whine on your lips.

“Ed I swear if you’re touching something you shouldn’t be-”

He quickly schooled his expression save for the barely there glint of mischief in his eyes and closed your diary before making himself comfortable on your bed. 

He raised an uncaring eyebrow as you burst in and glared at him. 

“What’s the big panic? You’re such a drama queen; I just wanted to mess with you!”

He pouted at you from your bed, all casual innocence; and when you stormed over with a pout of your own and leaned over him-

BAM!

That’s when he pounced, lunging forward and flipping you so you were underneath him before ruthlessly digging into your sides. 

His pout melted into a shit-eating grin as you burst out into laughter and tried to weakly swat him off. 

It didn’t do anything of course. 

“I cannot believe you kept this from me! You look so fuckin cute like this! It’s a crime I didn’t know about it till now!" 

Your eyes widened comically wide and you squealed; voice going high-pitched as you responded. Of course, he chose to go for one of your worst spots at that moment to make your flustered state all the more obvious. 

He could admit it. He took pleasure in your suffering. 

"You know!?! A-Aren’t you weirded out?!”

He snickered at that, his smirk making you lightheaded with embarrassment. 

“Oh darling. C'mon now. I’ve always liked making you into a mess…now? I just have an excuse to do it as much as I want. Why don’t you beg me for more like a good girl hm?”

“You’re so mhehehehehean!!”

“And you wouldn’t have it any other way. Now, less talking more begging or I bring out some tools~”

He stuck his tongue out playfully and you couldn’t deny the fullness of your heart despite the blush in your cheeks if you tried. 

Alphonse Elric:

Alphonse and you play fighting was nothing uncommon. 

He was eager to use his new fully functioning body and see what it was capable of and had no qualms about messing with you to reach that goal. 

The fights were always short but you seemed to enjoy them anyway even though you always ended up underneath him panting and red faced. 

His typical reward for winning was tickling you. Your laughter was just so damn infectious and after not hearing it all throughout his journey with Ed, he was all too ready to make up for lost time. 

He can be dense at the best of times so he didn’t realize you liked it till you told him, some time into your relationship.  

"Wah?! Really?”

Turns bright red. 

He suddenly grins wide, even if his blush is still obvious and hops in place a little. 

All excited exuberance.

Asks a bunch of rapidfire questions like he’s a giddy kid again. 

“How long have you known? Do you have a favorite spot? Aw I can’t believe I didn’t know about this earlier!!" 

His pout made you giggle. 

"I’ve known for a good while, not really, and I didn’t want to freak you out. You’re taking this better than I thought you would, honestly. When I asked Ed how he thought you’d take a sex conversation he seemed sure you’d freak. He tried to get what I was talking about specifically to tell you with him there but I told him it was private.”

Your giggles turned to laughter. 

“He yelled at me for "corrupting you”. Clearly he had nothing to worry about.“

Alphonse grumbled and blushed darker at the information. 

"Stupid brother…I’m not a kid anymore! Of course I know about sex stuff. Just cause I’m not a playboy like him-”

“I am not a playboy!”

It was your turn to blush apparently as Ed’s voice shouted from the other side of the door, making you storm over to open it and glare at him properly.

“You were eavesdropping!? You little-”

“I needed to make sure you weren’t taking advantage of-”

“He can take care of himself first off, and you have to know I’d never do that! Honestly, Ed, sometimes your protectiveness goes too far.”

You sighed and rubbed your temples bur before you could continue bantering Alphonse got between both of you, frowning disapprovingly at his brother.

“Not cool Ed! I don’t eavesdrop on you and Winry and you shouldn’t do it with us! She told you she wanted it to be private. I’m not a little kid anymore, I can make my own decisions!”

“Al…”

The two stared each other down a moment before Ed cracked and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. 

“Fine, fine.”

He raised his eyes to yours. 

“I’m sorry. I just…worry. I’m not used to having someone else to share the burden of looking out for him. Truce?”

He held out his hand and you quickly shook it, a faint smile on your lips. 

“Truce. Oh and Ed?”

You squeezed his hand tight enough to make him hiss in pain. 

“Forget what you heard. If that gets out I’m coming for you.”

You released his hand and he looked faintly amused a moment as his eyes flashed, and a cheeky grin twitched onto his lips. 

“You can’t even say the word, can you?”

“Ugh, get out! Stupid brat-!”

You shoved him out as he laughed the whole way, and you turned to look up at Al as he hovered over you while you leaned against the door. 

“Thanks for standing up for us.”

Sincerity shone in your eyes as you leaned up and kissed him, arms circling around his neck. As you both headed towards the bed, you pulled back to giggle against his lips as he squeezed your sides, mischief shining in his eyes. 

“I’m ready to try it out if you are~”

On the 9th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… 9 Family Photos!

Some of these are a little shorter than others... Sorry, I got stressed by the deadline and didn't have a whole lot of inspiration.

Ryuunosuke Akutagawa

🖤‼️Port Mafia family photos? Chaos. This (probably awful) idea was proposed by none other than the head of the PM himself, Mori.

🖤‼️Challenge number one: getting Aku into festive clothing for the picture. He is ridiculously stubborn when it comes to his outfit, and no amount of pleading can get him into anything other than his black coat. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that this is not a challenge you will win.

🖤‼️Challenge number two: getting everyone in the damn picture. The poor photographer is almost in tears by the end with how uncooperative everyone is, also he can’t say anything cause this is the MAFIA and he could be murdered.

🖤‼️Challenge number three: Aku refuses to smile. You also will not win this one, he’s just gonna look like the grumpy emo teenager that every family has.

🖤‼️It's… an interesting photo. And it's definitely going up on your refrigerator!

Mikuni

💛🤠He’s definitely the one that suggested family photos. Misono fought him on it for so long before Lily convinced the angry runt it was a great idea to have Christmas pictures with all the servamps and eves.

💛🤠It's chaos. It's just a whole mess. Kruo doesn't want to be there, Licht is kicking Lawless around Mahiru is TRYING and failing to keep the peace. Mikuni himself is trying to set up the camera, which isn't going well.

💛🤠It takes like, 15 tries to finally get a decent picture because Lily keeps trying to strip for the camera.

💛🤠In hindsight, he really should have just settled for a picture with you and Jeje.

Macbeth

🤍🖤We’re gonna do this with Crime Sorciere because I sincerely doubt that Brain wanted to organize Christmas pictures for the Oracion Seis. Anyway, Jellal wanted Christmas cards to send to Fairy Tail (mostly Erza, let’s be honest). As such, he is slightly obsessive about making this Christmas pictures perfect.

🤍🖤Macbeth is sick and tired of Christmas pictures within five minutes. It’s so boring! He’s gonna fall asleep! Richard and Meredy are honestly the only ones that are ok with this. The others are sick of Jellal’s obsessiveness.

🤍🖤By the time Jellal has gotten everyone where he wants them, Macbeth has indeed fallen asleep on your shoulder. You can gently shake him awake or wait for Jellal to notice and watch the world burn (he won't notice until after the picture is taken).

🤍🖤Jellal ends up with a nice card regardless, and Macbeth gets a nap out of it so it's all good.

Freed Justine

❤️🎄Thunder Legion Christmas photos are a riot, honestly. We’re gonna say this is during Laxus’s banishment because I don’t want to include him.

❤️🎄Freed organizes the entire procedure, and Bickslow makes it his personal mission to mess it up as much as he can. You probably side with Freed on this issue because it’s Christmas and you don’t want to stress him out too much, the Christmas tree incident was already enough stress.

❤️🎄Bickslow insists that Freed wear Christmas lights and ornaments in his hair. He pesters the poor green bean until he relents. Bickslow himself rocks a full Santa costume! Ever is decked out in a fancy Christmas dress, and she probably got one for you as well!

❤️🎄The photo ends up looking great!

Touta Matsuda

🖤👮Normal family photos with him! Nothing crazy, just a nice picture of the two of you for his parents.

🖤👮He looks so adorable all dressed up in his nice suit! He says you look great, as well.

🖤👮Nothing really crazy happens, honestly. It's just a cute outing for the two of you.

🖤👮He'll probably let you wander around the mall and get some Christmas shopping done afterwards. Maybe you could also go get some dinner while you're out!

Gaara

❤️🏜️Obviously family photos with Kankuro and Temari. Standard family pictures.

❤️🏜️There's a little bit of trouble getting Gaara to smile. He did spend several years of his life with only a sour grimace on his face (which was very justified, actually).

❤️🏜️Kankuro keeps trying to get away with making funny faces. Eventually you guys just decide to take one serious picture and one silly picture.

❤️🏜️Both pictures turn out great!

Rogue Cheney

🖤🐉It's you, Rogue, and Frosch. It was probably your idea, but Rogue agreed pretty easily.

🖤🐉You have some serious trouble trying to get Frosch to look at the camera. He just keeps getting distracted!

🖤🐉Once you finally get Frosch to look at the camera, it's an adorable picture!

Alphonse Elric

💛🐱It was Winry and Al's idea to do Christmas photos. Ed was dragged along by his braid.

💛🐱Nothing too exciting happens, other than the usual Winry hitting Ed with a wrench.

💛🐱It's a super cute picture!

Mahiru Shirota

🤎🙂You two were invited to take Christmas pictures with all the other servamps and eves. Mahiru thought it was a great idea at first…

🤎🙂…Until you actually got there. It was utter chaos. Mahiru tried his best to calm things, but to no avail.

🤎🙂You both are exhausted by the time you finally get a good picture. Next year, you definitely won't try to attempt wrangling all 7 servamps and their eves into a family photo.

Summary: For the past four years, Ed, Al with the addition of (y/n) have combed the country for a rumored stone that could amplify the boys' alchemy and bring the Elric's bodies back to normal. A battle breaks out against the false prophet Cornello, who is using the science of alchemy and parading it as acts of God.

01 - The Sun God's Prophet Part One

The sun is shining brightly, the sand is scorching, and the air is thick. Sparrows flew toward the large fountain out front of the castle-like building that stood tall in the centre of Liore. The three teens sat not far from the large building at a small cafe bar, and the sound of mindless chatter from other cafe goers could be heard. An unknown voice plays over the radio sitting above Alphonse's head.

“Children of God who live upon this earth, have faith, and thou shalt be saved. The god of the sun, Leto, enlightens thy path. Behold, having descended from his throne, the lord shall save thee from thy sins. As the messenger of the sun God, I am your father”

“A radio broadcast of a sermon?” Al wondered aloud.

“A messenger of god?” Edward questioned as he ate another fry. “What’s that?”

“I think I ought to be the one saying ‘what’s that?’ about you.” The cafe owner asked the three while drying a cup with a towel. He had a thick moustache and wore a dark cap and a light-coloured apron. “So, what are you guys supposed to be? Street performers?” 

Dropping his fork annoyed and with an eyebrow twitching, Ed spoke, “Okay pops, what part of us looks like street performers?” 

“Well I don’t know ed, we’ve got a 6’3 suit of armour and shorty mcshortison-”

“I’m not short!” Edward retorted, saying it wouldn’t be a surprise if you could see steam coming out of his ears.

“My bad ‘fun-sized’” (y/n) laughed, making air quotes with her finger; Ed rolled his eyes and sighed, and Al giggled.

“If you're not street performers, what are you guys doing in these parts?” The cafe owner asked.

“Yeah, we’re just looking for something,” Ed said, placing his fork on the empty plate, “What’s with this broadcast anyway?"

“You haven’t heard of Father Cornello?” he answered, sounding almost offended.

"Father, who now?” (y/n) asked.

“Father Cornello! The messenger of the sun God! He’s the founder of Letoism. the one with

the ‘power of miracles. He’s this wonderful man who came to this city a couple of years ago

and showed us the way of God!” The man stood tall, hands on his hips. Other cafe goers

interjected about what a great man Father Cornello was.

“It’s incredible!”

“Definitely the power of God!”

Alphonse and (y/n) sat listening intently; Ed, on the other hand, was sitting and messing with

the straw in his cup, completely uninterested. 

“You ain't listening, kid.” the cafe owner deadpanned.

“Nope. "I'm not interested in religion.” Ed said, looking the cafe owner straight in the eyes.

"Well, I'm stuffed; let’s beat it.” He said they were beginning to stand  Al and (y/n) following

his lead.

“Thanks for the food-” (y/n) was cut off by a loud bang, caused by Al hitting the roof of the

cafe stand and knocking off their radio.

 Al and (y/n) following his lead.

“AH!!- HEY!! Don’t cause any problems here! It’s all because you’re walking ‘round in that oversized tin can!” The man shouted leaning over the bar to see his broken radio.

“Sorry, sorry, we’ll fix it right up, don’t worry,” Ed said, waving his hand in apology.

Alphonse leaned over the assessing the damage, as (y/n) reached in her pocket for a stick

of chalk.

 “Here,” she said, handing Al the chalk. 

“Fix how?” the cafe owner asked, scratching his head.

“Just watch,” Edward answered, as Al finished drawing the transmutation around the broken

radio.

Alphonse went onto his knees, as a crowd of cafe goers surrounded the teens, he clapped

his hands together and pushed them onto the ground. Strikes of blue lightning grew from the

circle, engulfing the radio in blue hues. Looks of shock and amazement plastered the

cafe goers' faces. The blue light soon ceased, and Al rose to his feet. 

The cafe owner stood in shock and said, “I’m stunned,” making Ed visibly smirk. “You can use the power of miracles too!” Ed’s smirk dropped almost immediately.

“You what?” "No, we are alchemists; my brother and I are kind of famous, you know?" Ed retorted angrily. "We are the Elric brothers!” Edward stood proudly as cafegoers realised who they were.

“The Elric brothers?!”

“I’ve heard of them before!”

"He's one of those national alchemists!" says the older one.

"Edward Elric, the full-metal alchemist!";

A crowd began to form around Alphonse, (y/n) noticed before Ed did, she tried to hold her laugh as the cafegoers began to praise Al. “So you’re that rumoured genius alchemist!”

"I see why you're called the Fullmetal Alchemist. You wear that suit of armour!"

Ed's proud expression faded, revealing a visible vein on his brow. 

“Um, I'm not him,” Al said, waving his hands frantically. 

“Huh?”.

“The shorty over there?” 

That was it. Edward blew up. “WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SUPER SMALL SPECK”

“PFFFFFFT—a small speck” (y/n), she laughed, almost falling over. He turned toward the crowd of people, angrily ignoring (y/n), who was still giggling at his meltdown. “I am the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric!” He overemphasised the "I."

“And I’m his little brother, Alphonse,” Al added, rubbing his metal neck nervously. The crowd was taken aback by the revolution that Edward, a child, had started. (y/n) was kneeling to grab the now-fixed radio off the ground when a younger child from the crowd pointed at her and asked, “Who’s she then?”

“Me?” she questioned, pointing to herself now standing up with the radio in hand.

"Oh, that’s just (y/n)” Ed brushed it off.

“What do you mean by just (y/n)?” "You get to use your snazzy title, and I get "just" (y/n)," she chuckled. Before he could speak again, she shoved the radio in Ed’s face and

introduced herself. “I’m the carbon steel alchemist, (y/n) Mustang!” Edward was still

bewildered by how he ended up with the radio. Just as the three were about to leave and headed toward the massive building in the centre of Liore, an unknown girl running toward the cafe shouted to the owner, “Hello! It's a little bit lively today.” She wore a white dress and black sandals. She had tanned skin and dark eyes. She had two-toned hair; the front of her hair was pink and the back was dark brown. "Oh, hello, Rose," the moustached man said cheerfully. “Going to the church again?” He asked. 

"Yeah, I need to make some offerings," she said, smiling as she held some items in her hands and turned to face the young alchemists.

“I don’t think I’ve met you before.” All three of them just stared at her. 

“They say they’re alchemists; it seems they are looking for something.” The man spoke not 

looking up from the glass he was polishing.

She smiled at the three of them, her hair floating in the breeze, and she had a tight hold on the bag she was holding. “I hope you find what you are looking for,” Rose began to walk away, but before going too far, she turned her head to look at them a final time and said, “May Leto protect you!”

“Huh?” Edward said this in confusion, turning towards the cafe owner again.

“That girl, she ain’t got no relatives, and top of that, her boyfriend died in a car accident earlier this year,” he said, putting down his now-polished glass. 

“Yeah, you’d think she’d be sad, but she didn’t seem down.” A cafe patron butted in. “What saved her were the teachings of Cornello, the prophet of the sun god Leto! "He who gives everlasting life to the living and rebirth to the dead—the power of miracles proves that.” 

Rebirth of the Dead (y/n) turned to face the Elrics, knowing it was too much of a coincidence to be anything else.

“Rebirth of the dead, huh?” Edward said sceptically, chewing on his straw, “Smells fishy.”

The three teens stood before the massive Cathedral like structure, the white paint covering the bricks cracked towards the ground. Pink Azalea flowers grew on the grass, many squashed from previously gathered crowds. They walked through the massive arches, onto pristine white quartz floors, in contrast to the large dark oak doors along the corridor; the further they walked the more white pristine statues and sculptures they came across; they reached another arch that led to the chapel of the building. The chapel's ceilings were high, beautiful quartz columns, and a biblical scene painted onto the ceiling in between the gorgeous stone supports. The room had rows upon rows of dark oak pews, a catwalk in the middle separated them. In the middle of the room was a statue of who they believed to be The Sun God Leto, the statue was kneeling on one knee with a staff firmly in its grip, on its left side was another statue of an angel holding a ring facing The Sun God Leto. And on its  right was another angel holding a book. Behind the statues was a stained glass window made up of beautiful shades of yellow creating a sun. Near the statues were two doors, one on the right wall and one on the left. Edward, Alphonse and (y/n) stood before the statues, admiring the craftsmanship that went into creating such masterpieces, when a familiar face entered the chapel from the right side door. “Oh, You three again!” Rose said cheerfully as she walked into the chapel, all three of them turning to face her. “Are you guys going to join the church of Leto?”.

“Nah, religion isn’t our type a’ thing.” (y/n) spoke, waving off the idea, sitting down on one of the pews. 

Rose sucked in a breath, like she was offended before she spoke again, “That’s not a real answer! If you can believe in God, you can live with hope and gratitude everyday. It’s wonderful!”. She pointed at Ed and shouted “If you have faith you’ll grow taller for sure!”. 

Alphonse grabbed his brother before he attempted to launch himself at the poor girl, a vein popping on his forehead, “Brother! She’s not saying it to be mean.”. With a huff Edward sat on the pew next to (y/n), leaned his head back to look up at the ceiling. His arms resting upon the pew, one arm resting behind (y/n)’s head. 

“Do you really believe that if you pray to God the dead will come back to life?”. The question hung heavy in the air, the silence was almost deafening. Rose seemed like someone had just asked her if fish can fly. 

“Yes, yes I do.” 

The tension in the air was suffocating, the difference in knowledge between the three teens and the young woman was obvious. (y/n) she may never know the full truth of what happened to the brothers but she had learnt one thing from the snippets they trusted her with, the dead should stay dead regardless of how much you long for them. 

Edward tilted his head toward the ground releasing an understanding breath, “sheesh…How can you honestly believe these things?”.

 He dug around in his pants’ pocket and pulled out a small leather book. His gloved hands flicked through his previously childish handwriting until he found the page he was looking for, and began to read from it.

“Water: 35 litres, Carbon: 20 kg, Ammonia: 4 litres, Lime:1.5 kg, Phosphorus: 800 g, Salt: 250 g, Saltpetre: 100 g, Sulphur 80 g,  Fluoride 7.5 g, Iron 5 g, Silicon 3 g, and 15 other elements in small quantities…”.

Rose stood still as stone, the sun shining through the stained glass behind painting her in beautiful hues of amber, similar to an Ursinia, further highlighting her confused features. 

“Huh?” she wondered aloud.

Still looking at the small book Ed spoke, “That’s the total chemical makeup of an average adult human body, modern science knows all of this, yet there has never been a single example of a successful human transmutation.” His gaze hardened, eyebrows pinching, the grip on his book tightening. A sight too common for a 14 year old boy. “It’s like there’s a missing ingredient..” Edward momentarily stopped, gazing at his brother, sadness laid between the gold and tangerine of his eyes, before turning back to the book in hand “Scientists have been trying to find it for hundreds of years, pouring tons of money into research and to this day they don’t even have a theory.” Rose stood still intently listening but clearly confused.

“Huh?” 

“Come on Ed, she hasn’t got the slightest clue of what you’re talking about, speak human.” (y/n) face-palmed. 

“What do you mean ‘speak human’?” He said frustratingly, eyebrows furrowed. 

“Less science-y” 

Edward rolled his eyes and turned his body to face Rose, “Basically, they say science is a lost cause, But I think It’s better than sitting around praying for something to happen.” Edward sat forward clasping his hands together, leaning his arms on his knees. Looking up at the statue of Leto, thinking to himself before speaking again, “It’s ironic that we scientists, who don’t believe in god, are in a sense the closest thing to him.” 

There was a heavy silence, (y/n) sighed, leaning further back into the pew knowing where this might go. A look of anger and disgust covered Rose’s face as she walked in front of Ed, blocking the view of the statues, venom lacing her voice. “What pride, are you saying you’re god’s equal?”.

Father Cornello stood upon a stage, a statue of Leto stood tall behind him. The crowd in front of him roared in faith and hope. Petals of Violet and Magnolia rained from the sky, He grabbed a hold of a fallen magnolia, clapped it between his hands, a blue hue consuming them before he revealed it had now been turned into a sunflower. The three stood at the back of the crowd, Edward stood upon his suitcase to get a better look. (y/n) seemed less than bothered with the sight, too busy gazing into the faces in the crowd, studying their emotions. Not a single face in that crowd had a brow furrowed, a look of anguish, they all seemed so joyful and at peace with themselves. She felt almost bad for them, she told herself it was because they were believing a lie, or was it just plain old envy. Too caught up in her own thoughts she hadn’t noticed Rose had come over and had begun talking to the boys.

“I’d love to talk to his holiness! You think you could take us to him?” Ed said weirdly cheerful, leaving a very confused (y/n). 

“I’ll explain on the way, don’t worry” Alphonse whispered in her ear.

They returned to the beautiful white walls of the church, the same dark oak doors welcoming them in as the guards led the group into an almost empty room. As soon as they entered something was off, the two guards by the door seemed to stiffen as they walked past, a cold look in their eyes before one spoke, “His holiness is very busy, so it's not easy to get an audience with him. You three are very lucky.”  

“Don’t worry I won’t talk for too long.” Ed piped up, Alphonse turning back to listen to his brother, the four not registering the slam of the doors behind them. The guard who led them in suddenly stopped, a dark look flooded the man’s face as he reached into his jacket, “Yes, let’s end this quickly.” pulling a revolver from a concealed pocket, pointing it to the eye hole of Al’s armour, “Like this!”. The clang of the metal of the gun hitting the armoured boy was heard before a shot rang out, causing the head of the boy to hit the ground several feet way, horrified looks from the three others in the room as (y/n) and edward attempted to lunge forward to attack the man, fear rushed through their veins, as the two other guards restrained the two with their flagged staffs.

“Brother Cray! What are you doing?!” Rose exclaimed thinking he had just killed alphonse. 

“Rose, these are heathens that are trying to entrap his holiness, they are evil.” The man retorted.

“What?! But his holiness would never allow you to do this…you.”

“But he did allow it!” Cray turned his attention to the two teens blocked by the staffs, “The words of his holiness are the words of god!”. He aimed the gun at Edward’s head, his stare unwavering, (y/n) was left shaking like a leaf. “This is the will of god!!”.

“Guess there are some really bad Gods out there” Alphonse spoke, his voice more echoey than usual. He grabbed the revolver out of Cray’s hand as he shrieked in fear and confusion “Wha-!?!?!”. 

Edward quickly grabbed one of the staffed guards’ arm and shirt and began to shove him into the ground before (y/n) swiftly followed grunting out “a warning would’ve been nice Ed.” Both men landed onto the ground as Al’s metal fist collided with Cray’s face, all three men rendered unconscious.  

“Wha…Wha…What is this!?” Rose shakily shrieked from behind the three, Ed knocked on Al’s armour revealing he was holo. “Nothing special,” he spoke. 

“It’s exactly what it looks like” Alphonse said non shaltantly. 

“Th… there’s nothing inside it’s empty!”

Al snapped his head back on before speaking again, “You might say, this is what happens when you commit the world’s greatest sin, when you trespass on God's domain… My big brother and I both.” Melancholy seeped in the room, it felt like every crack in the walls was just allowing it in. 

“Well let’s just save that story for another time, heh.” Ed scratched his head, trying to relieve some tension in the room.

“Anyways, it seems Cornello is 100% ready to kill us.” (y/n) said, looking down at Cray’s unconscious body.

“Understatement.” Ed retorted. 

Edward, (y/n) and Alphonse stood in front of a dark oak door, which supposedly led to Father Cornello’s ‘room’; there were two wax candles attached to the wall either side of the door. The wax was beginning to melt down the metal brace keeping them in place. A curved window sat above the door frame, the warm light from the room leaking through it. “Is this Cornello’s room? The one Rose told us about?” (y/n) questioned looking up at the door that was towering over them. 

“Well there’s only one way to find out.” Edward said confidently, his hands cemented in his pockets. Then, the door slowly opened as if it was its own person, beckoning them into the room. 

“Hmph. I guess that means ‘come in’”. 

The room was quiet, the only sound that could be heard was footsteps and the flickering of the dim candles that sat on the columns that were laid out like a hallway to the stairs. The light was not bright enough to see the corners of the large room. There was a copper-like odour along with rotten eggs and burnt animal fat, flooding their sinuses. Cornello stood upon a staircase, a sinister smile painted on his wrinkled face. The large door slammed behind them, the echo bouncing off the tall walls.

“Did you come here to hear me preach?” Cornello asked the teens, trying to feign innocence, gripping the bannister and his cane tighter. 

“Yeah, by all means teach us...” Ed scoffed, cockily staring him down, Alphonse and (y/n) stood either side of him also looking up at the older man. 

“Like about how you use your lame alchemy to lie to your followers!”

“Please don’t confuse my miracles with alchemy.” His face still remained neutral but they could feel anger start to build up within the man. The teens looked completely unconvinced. “I have no reason to lie to you children, I do not use alchemy.”.

“It’s in the ring right?” Cornello seemed to freeze at Edward’s words.

“What’s in the ring?” The older man asked cautiously, not wanting to reveal his nerves. 

“The philosopher's stone.”. The air was thick, words were hanging like chandeliers, every breath crystallising.  

“Heh, the government gets their money out of you, don’t they?” his gaze was unwavering “I guess you saw through it all” He took a breath before exclaiming “Correct!” Cornello raised his hand as if he was cupping the air, showing off his ring, the red stone glistening in the warm light. “The philosopher's stone, the legendary amplifier of all alchemical processes!” 

A look of determination and desperation seeped its way onto Edward’s features, “How long I’ve searched for that.”  

“Ha, what’s with that jealous look in your eyes! What do you need the stone for? Money? Honour?” He stepped further towards the bannister. “What I really need is followers to give their lives for me, soon I’ll have enough people to take over the whole nation! Think about it, a frantic army with no fear of death!” Cornello stood cackling and the three teens looked between each other awkwardly. 

“Yeah we don’t really care.” Edward said nonchalantly, “I’ll be blunt, just give us the stone and we’ll be quiet about the scam you're pulling.” 

“Ha! Are you trying to bargain with me? My followers would never believe a word from the likes of you!”

“Well we didn’t expect anything less from your holiness, thank you, really for letting us hear that speech” (y/n) spoke sweetly, smiling hands clasped looking up toward Cornello. Alphonse was undoing his chest plate before she began again. “Yeah, they probably wouldn't give us the time of day, but! They’ll most likely listen to her.” Al’s chestplate fell to the floor with a thud and the chainmail hanging in the young boy's chest was moved to reveal a very disgusted Rose.

“What! Rose what are you-!?” Both of father Cornello’s hands gripped the bannister as he leaned forward. 

Rose climbed out of Al, she was livid. She was screaming up at him, feeling betrayed “You weren’t going to bring him back!”

“Perhaps being a messenger of god was a lie, but there’s still a way to bring him back. This stone can do wonderful things, we can resurrect your lover.” 

“Rose, don't listen!” Alphonse shouted, taking a step toward the girl.

“Be a good child and come here.” Cornello beckoned Rose

“If you go you won’t be able to come back!” Ed said loudly, anger lacing his words. 

“Am I not the only one who can grant your wishes? Remember your beloved!” 

His words were circling her head like murder of crows, though the light was dim it was hurting Rose’s eyes, this was too much pressure she knew what father Cornello had done was wrong, she knew it for a fact, he had lied to everyone. It felt as if poppy flowers were blooming in her head, she knew deep in her heart that she would give up her morals to see him again, even if it was just once. It’s not like the truth will do any good anyway, everyone looks up to Cornello, he is the light in their dark days and she knew that. Rose turned to look at the three once again, Edward looked angry, his brows furrowed, hands tightened into fists, lips sown into a line almost frowning, his shoulders loose and ready to fight when or if it come to it, his head is facing Rose yet his body was not, Ed’s back faced his brother and his chest faced his friend. Alphonse, though he had no facial expressions, was clearly tense, ready to attack at a moment's notice. And there was (y/n), her guard completely down, shoulders slumped, her gloved hands hanging by her sides and eyes full of worry. Her heart hurt for Rose, she was clearly in distress and there was nothing the teen girl could do to ease her pain, and it killed her, (y/n) took Rose’s pain as her own all she wanted was to help her. 

“I’m sorry, you three.” Rose said not even turning to face them, her voice saddened. She walked towards Father Cornello with a heavy heart, as Rose reached the bottom of the stairs Cornello reached for a metal hatch on the wall. 

The hatch swung open, banging against the wall, it revealed a lever. “Now I have to purge these terrorists that threaten the future of my religion!” Father Cornello shouted as he yanked the lever down, nearly pulling it out of the hatch, a menacing grin decorating his face. A wall on the left of the group crashes up, all three of them turn towards the noise in shock, to be met with a pitch black void, with nothing but two piercing yellow eyes staring back at them. The creature emerged, almost like it was stalking its prey, slowly coming into the dim light revealing itself. 

“The philosopher’s stone is really amazing, it can create things like this.”

The creature fully stepped into the light, it was a grotesque mix of animals, the front half of it was a lion, it's mane matted, the bottom of the mane covered in saliva, it's backend legs were that of an enlarged eagle and the rest of its body was that of a crocodile scales coming forth from the fur of the lion. 

Edward sighed, rolling his eyes he placed his hands together and slapped them against the ground. Blue lighting grew from the ground, his red jacket flowing in the breeze as he stood up straight, his bladed staff following him up. Father Cornello gripped the bannister in anger “Transmutation without an alchemy circle! I guess state alchemist isn't just a fancy name, but that won't be enough!”.

Just a cute fluffy story with reader who is a big sister to a much younger sibling (like 8 years apart, big sis 14 lil sis is 5-6) and all the shenanigans that ensue with the brothers? Thank you!

Learning Something New (Alphonse Elric x Reader)

You don’t think you’ve ever seen your sister crush on someone as hard as she does for Edward Elric. 

  Granted, she’s only six years old so the list of boys who held her heart wasn’t very long. There was the seven-year-old from two houses down from you. And a little brunette boy who could count the highest in her kindergarten. There was even the time she very loudly whispered in your ear how she was going to “Marry Mister Mustang!” one. All while the man was sitting at a table, less than ten feet away. And you wouldn’t be surprised if there were many, many more that you haven’t heard yet. Though for now, you can’t help but feel like a new boy in her life is impossible.

  “Eddie~!”

  At least, it’s impossible while Edward Elric still insists on visiting your parent’s library. 

  Living in Central all your life has made you well aware of the fact that State Alchemists are to be respected by everyone- especially civilians. And with the library with one of the largest collections of non-alchemy-related scientific notebooks, you’ve met quite a few who were hoping to brush up on their studies over the years. Your constant shifts at the book restoration corner while helping out your parents wherever you could made sure of that. But that meant your sister had to come with whenever you weren’t home to watch her after her school got out too. And on most days, that wouldn’t be so bad. After all, she’s always been quite the charmer. But sometimes…she could be a little too charming.

  “Oh, hey you two!” The sound of the Fullmetal Alchemist's cheerful voice fills your ears as he steps into your view with his brother in tow. There was no way he was going to get off with sneaking away now that they were caught in the library by your sister. And the three of you knew that. Truth be told, you had known the two of them were in the library for a little while. Al’s armor always had a bit of a creak to it when he walked. And Edward never really could keep his voice down, even when he was whispering. Still, you weren’t going to be the one to point out to your little sister that they were here. After all, you had a feeling they were here to work rather than to say hello. Though now, their plans might just have to change. “Working hard or hardly working?”

  Your sister laughs but you have a feeling she didn’t actually understand the joke. It’s obvious she’s just excited to see him. After all, he’s one of few patrons that take time out of their busy schedule to play with her for longer than five minutes. Though not always by choice considering how tricky she can be. And admittedly, you’re always happy to see the Elric brothers too. It’s refreshing to see someone your own age walk through those doors. Though your attention has always lingered on a different one than your sister’s. 

  “Eddie! Eddie!” When her energetic calls are getting a little loud for the building, you lean over to shush her. Realization washes over her for a second as her eyes go wide and her finger shoots up to lay across her lips in a classic librarian pose. But that little distraction does nothing to take away her growing excitement over who knows what this time. And nor does it pull her away from her thoughts long enough for her to hear Ed’s near-silent groan of ‘That’s not my name…’ that’s now making both you and Al attempt to hide your laughter. “C’mere! I wanna show you something!” 

  That was the only warning served to the Fullmetal Alchemist before your little sister was hopping off her chair and snatching up his left hand in her little fist. The boy barely had a moment to protest before she was already dragging him down the aisle and turning a corner- red cloak and little sister disappearing from your sight as you watched on. It happened so fast. Faster than you really expected considering the size of your sister compared to Edward. In fact, it wasn’t until their voice started to fade from your ears that you realized that the two of them really took off. Leaving you alone. 

  With Alphonse.

  Oh god. That’s the only thought running through your head as the realization truly sets in. Oh god, oh god, oh god. In an instant, you felt yourself growing flustered. Though the warm feeling that was taking over your body just worsened as Al then turned his head from where the direction in which his brother went towards you. You try to offer him a small smile and think of something to say. But your smile is shaky and awkward at best, and your mind is going a little too fast for you to handle. So you end up breaking eye contact and burying your face in the latest book in your pile to be restored. 

  You know you should have tried harder to say something clever to crack a little joke about what just happened. You’ve always been able to do it to others when your sister is up to her antics. But now that you think about it, this might be the first time you have ever been alone with Al. And the fact that the two of you are just cooped up in the little back corner of the library where you work isn’t making things any better. You’re so used to having him approach you with your sister around or with his brother by his side. For you, that was always a safety crutch. A distraction. Someone you could push your attention to so that you could focus on anything besides the fact that the Alphonse Elric was standing so close to you.

  Yep. You could be as bad as your sister when it comes to boys. 

  “I…” In the end, it’s Al’s voice that breaks the silence. It’s just a quiet sound at first. Carried by his timid yet sweet-sounding voice. You always thought that it made him sound so gentle and caring despite his hulking figure. And it’s at that thought that you truly do smile just a little. You’ve only heard whispers of what they’ve been through. But they’ve never shown anything short of kindness towards you and your little sister. Never. “I’m sorry if my presence frightens you…”

  Scratch that. You’re way worse than your sister. Especially for making someone as nice as Alphonse apologize for just existing.

  “No, no, no, no!” Now it’s your turn to get louder than you intend to as you look up and shake your hands to emphasize the gesture. And it’s the sound of Al’s laughter that brings you back to the present and makes you aware of your tone. By now, your face feels like it’s on fire, and you’re downright mortified too. Though at least you’ve saved one interaction. Now, it’s time for you to wrap the rest up in a tight little bow. Or in the case of your job, a perfectly bound spine. “It’s not that, it’s just…”

  Your hands come to rest on your desk. Your fingers brush against a rounded, wooden edge of your guillotine as you fiddle with a needle in your other hand. Explaining yourself now is just as hard as you expected it to be. And you truly feel like you set yourself up to fail. You don’t have experience with this. Work and your sister have always kept you busy. You didn’t have time for boys. And when you did, no one really captured your attention. Not like Al does anyways. But…

  “I’m…”

  With a deep sigh, you try to remind yourself that you can do it. Not because it’s for a paycheck. Or it’s for your little sister. You can do this- for you. Because once upon a time, you weren’t a big sister. You weren’t able to share your clothes when they got too small and or let someone else play with your toys that you loved so much. You thought you would never do it. And you thought you would never enjoy it too. Once upon a time, you weren’t good at what you do in the library. You weren’t able to cut the pages straight or replace the glue on hardbacks. You thought never repair something as good as your parents. And that you would never be able to do it on your own. You had to learn how to do all these things.

  “I’m actually really glad you’re here, Al...” 

  So maybe you could learn how to talk to boys too.

-Lots of hand holding

-Almost always holding your hand in some form

-In private, he’s a lot more affectionate

-If you two get together before he gets his body back, it’s similar

-He cant kiss, but he gives gentle headpats, hand holding, gentle hugs

-He does get really insecure about not being able to provide as much affection because he doesn’t have his human body

-It really upsets him

-But tell him you love him, comfort him if you can

For Zuko, I know its cliché but i will say his entire redemptions arc is *chefs kiss* lol. But specifically, one of my favorite traits (honestly if you can even call this list a list of character traits lmao) of his is how passionate he gets about bettering himself and the Fire Nation. whether it was bettering his skills to capture Aang way back in season one, or when it came to stopping/reforming the harmony restoration movement after meeting Kori and her family and seeing the life all the elements made together, if he wants to change something for the better, he puts his heart into it and I absolutely love that about him. 

With Edward, I think my favorite trait about him is how driven and persistent he is. No matter what life throws at him he still keeps his heart set on his goals and does anything in his power to get answers, and him also passing the message along to Rose via “You have to figure it out. Stand up and walk. Keep moving forward. You've got two good legs. So get up and use them. You're strong enough to make your own path.” has seriously kept me going at times, especially when it comes to needing to advocate for myself, which did take me a while to start doing without needing someone to remind me to. Also his ending quote “There’s no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don’t exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can’t gain anything without losing something first, although, if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you’ll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah, a heart made fullmetal.” is so fucking beautiful i had to bring it up lmfao. 

With Alphonse, I love how he wants to see the good in people, even if those around him are trying to discourage his feelings. He goes out of his way to try to talk to the enemies, a heart to heart if you will, trying to understand their point of view to see if he could reach a middle ground, and all while being calm, patient, and collected. I think the biggest example I can give with his is how, after being kidnapped by greed and his companions (fuck greed for calling them minions. booo), Al pretty much lets them explain their side and while still disagreeing with the way to go about things, he doesn’t immediately jump into action to really stop them. After martel climbs inside his armor, he continues to talk to her like a friend, and even tries to shush her when they run into bradley. When he cares about someone (or something, him with cats make me sob) he does everything in his power to protect them. 

Now, i think the reason i don’t ask for SNK is because i read the manga and since it ended, i’m not on the hype train anymore. plus, of course the two characters i adore are the fandoms biggest issues lmao. So, i’ll include them in this, but i’m not gonna get into shit. y’all can find that on twitter lmao. this also may be shorter just because again, i'm not really into it as much as the other shows anymore. this will also be in past tense for that reason as well as it truly ended in my heart. 

For Eren, I think his determination has always been my favorite, even when i first started watching. From the first shots with him as a helpless 12 year old, to the final declaration he gives about saving his people and home of paradis, the way he would and does anything to save his friends and home is beautiful, though the entire “destroy the 80% of the world” shit is very :// dude lol

With Armin, I will say his smarts and how outside-the-box he is when it comes to making plans and trying to solve problems is my favorite part of him. I know a lot of people had issues with him vs erwin but dude,, even erwin had times where was like “lol idk what to do. Any ideas armin??” so. Also him making a plan to sacrifice himself without any hesitation so eren can get the upper hand with bertolt while erwin was riding towards his own death was really heart wrenching to me i absolutely love that episode. 

Since I added stranger things characters, here is why i love them briefly bc i do be tired lol

Steve- cmon. His redemption arc was just as great as, if not better than, zukos like??? He didn’t have to do anything to help everyone out but he does bc he cares :(( also him being jealous of eddie dhkjfslkfjdskl ALSO ALSO him and robin talking about boobs was so fucking great lmao. i love their friendship sm

Eddie- dudes just a silly metal nerd i cant not love him???? I love any man that can make me giggle for hours and eddie accomplished that almost immediately

[baby-im-a-hallucinationnn]

Aight so... I have a handful of OC stories I'd love to tell but I wanted to get opinions from other people before I do so here are some of them (This isn't all of them, just the one's I feel comfortable sharing right now):

𝕄𝕪 ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕠 𝔸𝕔𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕞𝕚𝕒:

Tenya Iida x Takuda Saika- A sheer chaos gremlin and the strict class rep? Sounds like a burning good time >:)

Shoto Todoroki x Ichika Nakamura- Woah, 2 half and halfs? Fire and ice, and Water and Land? Cool! Don't let him know she's always up listening to Cryptid stories!

Katsuki Bakugou x Ami Tsukino- "Holy sheet, she's famous!? I wanna be he‐" "She's severely abused by her alcoholic father." "Oh." "But she covers up her depressing home life with pretty much spending all her time with her friends!"

Neito Monoma x Koto Sugoi- Sweetest damn girl you'll ever meet with an extra sad backstory that I'm not going to tell because it will require a trigger warning list

Momo Yaoyorozu x Hanako Adakai- She was a shaman in training for a Navajo tribe, scooped up by a rich Japanese family, just trying to help whoever she can

𝔸𝕥𝕥𝕒𝕔𝕜 𝕆𝕟 𝕋𝕚𝕥𝕒𝕟:

Levi Ackerman x Justise Elise-Grey- Holy trauma, she's got quite a bit. She ended up getting cared for by a baker and her husband, and now she's just trying to live out her parent's dream of knowing what's outside the walls

Armin Artlert x Faith Johnson-Grey- Justise's little sister, with a whole trauma list of her own.

𝔽𝕦𝕝𝕝𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕒𝕝 𝔸𝕝𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕥: 𝔹𝕣𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕙𝕠𝕠𝕕:

Edward Elric x Winter Quint- "Wellcome to the Krusty Krab, what's it be?" "I'll have, an emotionally damaged OC!" "How original..." "But she's severely emotionally constipated and can't express herself to save her life!" "Daring today, aren't we?"

Alphonse Elric x Remi Chi- Oh joy, more trauma... I feel like I'm getting a little repetitive with this.

𝔻𝕖𝕞𝕠𝕟 𝕊𝕝𝕒𝕪𝕖𝕣: 𝕂𝕚𝕞𝕚𝕥𝕤𝕦 ℕ𝕠 𝕐𝕒𝕚𝕓𝕒:

Inosuke Hashibira x Yuokari Mizu- I feel like I don't have to say anything more about trauma, but uh... this one's a hunter! And she has a dog! (Don't worry, the dog is fine)

𝕆𝕟𝕖 ℙ𝕚𝕖𝕔𝕖

1. Luffy x Rose Redd-

Is that... a nontraumatised character??? Oh wait wait... not a lot of trauma, just a shitty merchant dad she ran away from cause expectation and went to live with her pirate mom, followed Luffy, and is now his first mate.

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… Five Golden Bois! (Part 2!)

Kenji Miyazawa

💛🐄In the morning, you meet up at the office for a party with the Armed Detective Agency! It's a blast for the both of you! Watching Kunikida yell at Dazai for trying to hang himself with the garland is quite the show.

💛🐄Kenji did his best with your gift. He really did. He probably had to get some help from another member of the ADA. You better hope it was Atsushi and not Dazai! Dazai is known for his love of prank gifts.

💛🐄Oh he is so happy to receive a gift from you. It genuinely doesn't matter what you get him, he will enjoy it. A little hint: he especially loves stuffed animals!

💛🐄Kenji adores Christmas, and loves learning the big city traditions with you!

Finnian

💛💐On Christmas morning, Finni and the other servants are, of course, up with the sun preparing breakfast, cleaning, etc. Once Ciel is ready, then it's time for presents! Finni isn't the brightest bulb in the box, but he tries his best to get you something nice (Sebastian probably helped him out)!

💛💐Finni is ecstatic to receive a gift from you! He loves presents! He's very careful when opening it, he doesn't want to accidentally break whatever's inside!

💛💐Holidays with the Phantomhive crew are always chaotic, even with Sebastian trying desperately to keep everything as calm as possible. It's a fun time for both you and Finni!

Alphonse Elric

💛🐱On Christmas morning, Al is willing to do whatever. If you want to sleep in, he's game. If you want to sprint out of bed at light speed and open your presents, he's ok with that too!

💛🐱Al gets you a few very well thought-out gifts. He knows what you like, and he probably worked his ass off to get it!

💛🐱He's very happy you got him something, and he's even happier if you got him something cat-related! If you get him an actual cat for Christmas, he'll probably cry from happiness!

💛🐱Al loves everything to do with Christmas, and having you around just makes everything better!

Denki Kaminari

⚡👍In the morning, Denki is sprinting down the dorm hallways with Mina and Sero, yelling for everyone to get up because it's Christmas! That is, until Bakugo literally blows his door off and almost murders them on the spot.

⚡👍He's not the richest, nor does he have the best taste, but he tries his best to get you something you'll like! He might have gotten a bit of help from Mina or Momo. Just a bit.

⚡👍Denki is perfectly thrilled to receive a gift from you. If it's a new hat for his collection, even better! He will wear it immediately!

⚡👍What better way to spend the 2-week Christmas break than cuddling on the couch with someone you love? Nothing, according to Denki!

Naruto Uzumaki

💛🍜In the morning, he's the first one up (obviously). He's shaking you awake with a look that wouldn't be out of place on an excited puppy! After a quick instant ramen breakfast, it's time for presents!

💛🍜Naruto looks beyond pleased with himself as you open your gift. He tried his best to get you something you would enjoy! Isn't he the greatest boyfriend/husband ever?

💛🍜He is beyond thrilled to receive a gift from you! He never really got a lot of gifts growing up. You know, with him not having parents and all. The only one who really gave him gifts at Christmas time was the Ichiraku ramen guy, who gave him huge discounts around the holidays!

💛🍜Having you around has turned Naruto from beginning-of-the-movie Scrooge to end-of-the-movie Scrooge. You've really shown him the spirit of Christmas!

How can you move forward when you keep regretting the past?

(Y/N) Mustang travels with the Elric brothers to find the philosophers stone to restore their bodies. And the discovery that her alchemy is more different than she originally believed.

A/N: Sorry for the wait, chapter 1 is finished I’m just finishing some final edit shouldn’t be too much longer so here’s a another teaser

- Froggie :)

Masterlist

!! TEASER !!

“What! Rose what are you-!?” Both of father Cornello’s hands gripped the bannister as he leaned forward. 

Rose climbed out of Al, she was livid. She was screaming up at him, feeling betrayed “You weren’t going to bring him back!”

“Perhaps being a messenger of god was a lie, but there’s still a way to bring him back. This stone can do wonderful things, we can resurrect your lover.” 

“Rose, don't listen!” Alphonse shouted, taking a step toward the girl.

“Be a good child and come here.” Cornello beckoned Rose

“If you go you won’t be able to come back!” Ed said loudly, anger lacing his words. 

“Am I not the only one who can grant your wishes? Remember your beloved!” 

His words were circling her head like murder of crows, though the light was dim it was hurting Rose’s eyes, this was too much pressure she knew what father Cornello had done was wrong, she knew it for a fact, he had lied to everyone. It felt as if poppy flowers were blooming in her head, she knew deep in her heart that she would give up her morals to see him again, even if it was just once. It’s not like the truth will do any good anyway, everyone looks up to Cornello, he is the light in their dark days and she knew that.

Fullmetal Alchemist Envy Headcanons

My headcanons for Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist! Honestly they turned out to be more of a Envy x Reader type of headcanons. I hope you like them anyways, I also appologise for any mistakes, since english is not my first language.

secretive

once he starts taking interest in you he would most likely stalk you from time to time, then ask you about what you did that day to check if you are going to lie to him

feels at ease when you say the truth, really values honesty

enjoys late night walks/meetings

"Hmm..You know what? I have never tought talking to a human could be so entertaining. This definitely won't be the last time we see each other, human. Expect another visit very soon."

deep conversations after midnight

"So..the other day.."

Once he feels comfortable enough around you he will voice every tought that crosses his mind for you to hear

is aware that he craves physicial affection but would never admit it

looks away when holding your hand

pretty obvious, but gets jelous very easily

the type to deny romantic feelings at first

"I hate getting hurt, you know? I hate the feeling of pain..and being here with you..talking to you..thinking about you, a human..makes me go though..so much pain..but when I am not around you, it's worse..I want to be around you again..it's almost like..like I am.."

would deffinitely return the favor if you do something for him

very protective

loves it when you're honest with him

enjoys it when you trust him

would definitely be taken aback if you go out of your way to defend him

the type to always praise himself but be suprised when he recieves a compliment

"You really think that? Well, thank you"

definitely acts one way in front of people he doesn't trust and a completely different one with ones he does trust

ride or die type of guy

loves it when you treat him the same no matter what form he has shifted into

I hope you guys enjoyed my headcanons, pleaase tell me which Fullmetal Alchemist character you would like me to write headcanons for next? Or maybe I should do a part two for Envy?
