    Summary

    Tokito Muichiro, aged way-too-young-for-university-housing, is looking for a place to live. The Wisteria Sharehouse is looking for an eighth housemate. It should be a perfect fit.

    Except that the Wisteria Sharehouse is full of nosy, noisy people who seem to think their child-prodigy housemate who'd really rather be left alone is the most interesting person in the world.

    So really, what did he expect them all to do when they found out about his favorite hobby?

    (OR: put seven Hashira in a modern-day university sharehouse with a teenage prodigy who just wants to go look for some birds, and you get...well, chaos, probably. Probably chaos.)

    Summary

    accretion [ə-ˈkrē-shən]

    Definition: An accidental deposit of “foreign” material that was not part of the painting process, f. ex. dried liquid residue, flyspecks, etc.
    (from Stella Art Conservation, LLC)

    Riza Hawkeye has worked as Security Director for private art authenticator Roy Mustang for eight years with little trouble. However, recently Mustang has taken on riskier and higher-stakes jobs, putting himself and his team in danger of exposure and harm. The objective of a new undercover job – authenticating an elusive ink drawing while undercover on a three-week island retreat – hits too close to home for Riza. Secrets carefully kept threaten to be brought to light, exacerbated by the closeness required while posing as a young engaged couple.

    Hold on, they have to pose as an… engaged couple? For three weeks?!

    Summary

    (Originally called "FMA "The Abyss" AU")
    What if Ed wasn't alone when the tower collapsed because of Kimbley? What if he wasn't the one telling Winry not to worry?

    What if it was the other way around?

    Summary

    Al’s mind went to exactly where he knew his brother’s train of thought would arrive.
    “It’s only hair; it’ll grow back.”
    He mentally crossed his heart, hoping his typically brash and emotionally dismissive older brother would refrain from voicing that (logical) platitude aloud.
    Snip.
    Ed finished, brushing the loose strands off her back.
    “It’s just a little shorter,” he took a step back. “No one is even going to notice!”
    Well, that was a lie, Al knew.
    _________________________
    In Al's defense, the only thing he had cut short was the moment.

    Summary

    “Beat them to a pulp and protect our country, Ed; and, while you’re at it, get your bodies back, and return safe and sound! I’ll do anything to make that happen!”

    Edward’s heart stopped for a moment, as the look on his childhood friend’s face moved something within him. The resolve in Winry’s face pooled in her eyes and mixed with something else; a look, which quickened the beating in Ed’s heart.

    He sighed. “You make it sound so easy…”

    A rewriting of *that* scene in episode 46.
