Summary
For an articulate man, Roy Mustang suddenly struggled to find the correct words.
Every variation the Colonel concocted within his head sounded flimsy, harsh, or downright wrong. Unsettled and sick, the silence stretched between them for a handful of heart-clenching beats as suspicious golden eyes narrowed, continuing to sear into Roy’s soul. Realization reared its ugly head and delved a hand right into his chest, poisonous claws digging deep as it whispered odious remarks. He stared at the boy before him, feeling as if he was seeing him for the first time, an entire week’s worth of denial crumbling away.
This couldn’t be happening, but it was.
It was happening and he had been willfully blind to it like a pathetic coward. He’d chalked the flush of fever as something as simple as a cold. The same applied to the presumption of mood swings linked to age. Even the odd habits Roy had brushed off as quirks or stress...
Never once did Roy think something more malicious had been at play, until now.
"Edward… I don’t think you are very well right now.’’
[Or, the one where Edward takes a little splash and everyone suffers]

Summary
"But as he kicks a door in and looks down at the family of three huddled in the corner of this sandstone house, white hair and pleading red eyes register in his head as target. And Alphonse Elric lives another moment for every target he kills.
Fullmetal pops the safety off his handgun and fires three times-
BANGBANGBANG
-right between those crimson eyes.
He turns and stalks back out into the street, calvary skirt snapping around his knees as he holsters his pistol and retransmutes his automail blade to slice through the haphazard Ishvalan group trying to brandish muskets at his team.
(Little al-che-mist, something cooes, and he ignores it as arterial spray arcs through the dry air. He has his orders.)"
--
Or; Everything happens a bit earlier, and the Fullmetal Alchemist doesn't have his brother.

Summary
A dozen kids-missing without a trace in East City. Edward Elric- without any leads on the stone. Ed goes on a hunt for a killer, putting himself into a case he wasn't assigned. Things get messy when a special investigations unit from Central is sent in, and despite Mustangs efforts, Edward becomes to this case. Not a victim, but with integral knowledge of the case.
If only the kid's nose would stop bleeding and his hands would stop shaking. Mustang has never seen the kid so frightened before, and it awakens a gutteral fear within him.

Summary
Right before the right arm was torn from its owner’s body forever, Truth paused, considering its options. A better punishment came to mind.
Nothing as petty as another limb, easily replaced by hunks of machinery and nerve connections. No, Truth thought, Edward Elric would be taught a lesson. Little boys who thought they could defy God, not once, but twice, had a special place in hell, reserved just for them.
Instead of a chunk of his body, Truth would take a chunk of his mind.
—
Three years since the transmutation. Two years since he passed the exam. One year since the breakdown. A week since they released him from involuntary commitment. Yesterday, he regained his certification. Today, he has to tell the Colonel that he begins work again tomorrow.

Summary
Edward Elric was a sane, rational, down-to-earth person, even if a certain Colonel pretended he wasn’t. He didn’t believe in ghosts, he didn’t believe in magic or curses, and he certainly didn’t believe in the existence of other worlds.
“If the supernatural really exists,” he would often say with a smirk, smugly folding his arms, “then show me the evidence.”
One day, the universe decided to oblige him, and his life became one big Exhibit A. It’s hard enough to deal with being thrown into another universe without being forced to investigate the ghost of a king haunting his capital. Him and his big fucking mouth.
Either way, that’s the last time he ever reads something from the Alternative section.
Or:
Roy isn’t prepared to deal with finding the corpse of Edward Elric. He definitely isn’t prepared to deal with his corpse waking up a few hours later and smashing his fist into Roy’s jaw. Even in death, the Fullmetal Alchemist is a pain in his ass.

Summary
In a period of civil war, the Empire pushes the Rebel forces towards the outer reaches of the galaxy. With the Jedi Master Van Hohenheim captured and the Rebel forces stretched to their breaking point, there doesn’t seem to be any hope for them to take down the Empire. But a forgotten insignificant clone might be the answer the Rebels were looking for.
Alternatively: Captain ED-001 is a clone commander of a small insignificant outpost. After being taken POW, he has to learn what it means to be a rebel. Along the way, he might just teach the rebels what it means to be human.
Inspired by the Clone dynamics in Star wars the Clone Wars. Please review!!!!!!

Summary
"'A life for a life,' it had drawled happily. 'But with a twist! Edward, I want to believe you're not so naive to think that reality revolves only around your singular, dispensable timeline, yes?'"
--
The Law of Equivalent Exchange is bullshit. That's what Edward Elric decides after he wakes up in a dumpster after he makes a risky deal with Truth. Aizawa Shota's list of problem children just keeps getting longer by the second, and Japan probably isn't ready for the uncontrollable hurricane of destruction that is the Fullmetal Alchemist.

FMA x BNHA crossover fic because I'm a little bit funky and cringe! Canon divergence where Ed gives up his life to bring Al back, but it doesn't go quite as planned.
As of 5/19/2026: I am working slowly on a minor rewrite of this fic as well as the next chapter. Thank you all for the patience! :)

Summary
“Tell me,” Ling began, voice deadly serious. His gaze was piercing, as though looking into Edward’s very soul. “How many people do you have inside of you?”
--------
Edward was born earlier, to a much younger Hohenheim. Even with a much different start to life, one thing still holds true: he loves Alphonse more than anything, even if his beloved brother does stupid things like run off and join the military at age 11.

Summary
There was something strange about this world. Something in the air. Ed wasn't quite sure what it was, but he was going to get to the bottom of this.
When Edward Elric travels through the portal after defeating Father, Truth refuses to accept Ed's alchemy in exchange for Alphonse. He is faced with three choices, none appealing. Either return empty-handed, sacrifice his own life for Alphonse's, or do a favor for Truth. He picks option three, and finds himself waking up on a trash-covered beach in a strange world, one where every man, woman, and child have some strange power. In order to get home, he must accomplish whatever it is that Truth wants from him, and unfortunately, the being is not exactly inclined to provide thorough explanations.

Summary
Amestris: the militaristic nation of alchemy, hidden deep within the Quirkless Sector. Most think its mysteries will never be solved, and Class 1-A is inclined to agree—until suddenly summer camp is canceled and they’re headed on a field trip to the most mysterious country in the world, blissfully ignorant of the conspiracies that have been brewing under the surface for centuries.
The State Alchemist stuck playing babysitter, however, knows more than he should. That’s what got him into this mess in the first place.
OR: Ed plays bodyguard for Class 1-A visiting Amestris.

Summary
Work in progress. "Search for the value of that which you seek, for alchemy already knows." Alchemy knew what Edward wanted when his fingertips touched that circle, but Edward did not yet understand how value differs from price, how equivalent differs from equal. The Gate calculates with one small difference, and Trisha Elric lives - but the cost may be too high for Edward to afford.
[ Originally published on FFN 16 June 2009. A very detailed, very slow exploration of the creators' headcanon through Edward's eyes - and sometimes Roy's - with lengthy discourses on alchemical theory, juicy helpings of political intrigue, a few near-death experiences here and there, and maybe an assassination attempt or two. Explores in detail the political and social spheres of Amestris and beyond in the context of Roy's ladder-climbing, aided by Edward's presence as a researcher. You could consider this a fix-it, but it's more like a highly involved worldbuilding reboot. Long-running, takes time between updates, but chapters are 20-30k long. Be prepared to indulge and suspend your disbelief. Leave canon at the doorstep; this is something else entirely. ]

Summary
As far back as Al could remember, Ed was an Adult. Sure, he was shorter than Mom, but there was no denying his Big Brother (the best big brother in the world) was an adult.
But then, he left, along with his Dad. And Mom died.
And even though Ed came back (Alone. Where was Dad?) Al would do anything for his family to be complete again.
Even if it meant committing Alchemy's Greatest Taboo. -

Summary
It's well known that currently, 80% of the world population has a quirk by now, leaving the remaining 20% quirkless. Class 1-A was surprised by the announcement Aizawa-sensei was giving to them for two reasons:
One, there's going to be an exchange student into the Hero Course, which is very weird considering that U.A. doesn't accept exchange students of any kind; and two, this person is from Amestris: the isolated, militarized country where 99% of the population is quirkless.
