Ever since i read this one fma fic about an alchemical natural phenomenon / disaster that happens once every few decades its been on my mind
#Listen to my problems#like every alchemist (person able to conduct alchemy) will start to act strange for a few weeks#then they all start to have strange thoughts and impulses. edward came up with the rubberband trick in order to snap himself out of those#trances. it worked for a while but the slight pain from snapping a rubber band against your wrist cant keep workinf#so mustang turns to straight up snorting cocaine which seems to keep the voices at bay but like i mean ed doesnt approve but if it works it#works ... eventually they all start to gather in an open field .. alchemists from all over the place forming a circle ..#edward handcuffs himself to mustang in an effort to keep him from walking off (at this point his wrist is a mess of red inflamed skin and#blood from using the rubberband so much) he fights mustang (walking steadily but mindlessly) so hard that it dislocates his shoulder and i#cant stop thinking of that description ... the joint of his shoulder sliding out of place with the consistent force .....#he keeps pulling and eventually ed is dragged along (he fights the whole time but the call is too strong ...)#they find the other alchemists all waiting for their missing leader (its mustang!!!!) theyre lined up in concentric circles and mustang#walks right into the middle of all those circles. edward pulls at his arm theyre still lovked together .. ed is trying to get to his place#but he doesnt make it in time before the ritual starts with mustang right at the centre of it all ...#i dont actually remember the purpose of the ritual but it might have been to channel excess alchemical energy (yeah i realise that that cant#be it) back to the. earth. and after the event ends everyone wakes up without any memory of what happened#mustang being the conduit for all that power comes away from it with periodic fits of epilepsy ... and to him hes always been like this#... nobody remembers what happened ... even the last time this happened all ed was able to find was ancient newspaper articles talking#about their alchemists acting strange .... nobody remembers ......... ....................
