➼ Foul Depths by Bandity

If you asked Edward, he would say that the problems started with an accident at Central Command. Who put a glass door there anyway?

➼ Abstentation by Asidian

info
no romantic relationships; 11.1k; 1/1; complete

summary
An assignment to snow country under Colonel Mustang is bad enough for the damper it puts on the Elrics' search for the Stone, but downed supply lines lead to cut rations, and Ed discovers that he can't take the deprivation as well as he'd like to pretend.

my notes

➼ Desert Gold by DarkScales

info
ed & al; 20.5k; 1/1; complete

summary
The Elric brothers might have worn Hohenheim’s appearance, but they inherited Trisha’s heart. Or: Ed and Al favor their Ishvalan heritage over their Amestrian, because they have always been– and will always be –their mother’s sons. Ishvalan AU.

➼ Blues Upon a Whistle by mildlynerdy, SiryyGray

info
ed & roy, ed & al; 23.5k; 2/2; complete

summary
Ed is more than six feet under, but still very much alive. He owes that to a crumpling street and collapsing building. It’s too dark to see, too cold to feel, and he’s certain he’s going crazy. Or maybe that’s just the concussion.
All he can do is wait and keep breathing.

my notes
obligatory trapped and can't move h/c

➼ And a Happy New Year by RainFlame

info
ed & roy, ed & al; 10.1k; 1/1; complete

summary
Ed hasn't quite been himself after his run-in with Scar. He's been restless, flinching at loud noises and jumping at shadows.

Who could possibly understand but a colonel with the same fear in his eyes.

my notes
hashtag thunderstorms

➼ Dead on Arrival by RainFlame

info
no romantic relationships; 47.7k; 18/18; complete

summary
It's not easy solving your own murder, even for a ghost. When Edward Elric is murdered, Truth offers him a deal: find his killer in exchange for his life. Ed decides to take him up on his offer, but things aren't so simple. With Roy and Riza on the run and Al nowhere to be found, Ed has his work cut out for him. All in a day's work for a very dead Fullmetal Alchemist. Rating just to be safe.

my notes

➼ Samson by thephilosophersapprentice

info
ed & al, ed & team mustang; 2.3k; 1/1; complete

summary
Without the aid of others, we would all die alone. To refuse help freely given is an insult tantamount to a slap.

Ironically, those are the two tenets of Ishval that Edward has the hardest time following.

Or: Edward's stumps are aching again. Team Mustang tries to help.

my notes
good shit!

After spending three weeks aiding a crisis at Eastern Command, Ed, Al and Roy board a train back to Central. At first, the trip is uneventful…until Ed has a nightmare and Roy witnesses the boy perform alchemy in his sleep. The act should not only be impossible, but also reveals a deeper issue—one that Roy is determined to make sure Ed doesn’t have to deal with alone.

my notes

➼ This Lion is in the Garden by Xyriath

info
ed/ling; 26.3k; 1/1; complete

summary
Ed’s duties as a prince of Xerxes right now really aren’t that complicated. Establish favorable relations with the nation of Xing. Learn to get along with his betrothed. Don’t offend anyone. Especially don’t offend anyone. What he didn’t predict was getting along with his fiancé perhaps a little too well.
