Cripple Arc by Velvet Mace
Rating: R
Pairing: Hohenheim/Ed
Warnings: ficlets, m/m, incest, dubious consent, ncs
Summary: Post-anime. 'Crippled in a strange country, without money, or friends, or even alchemy, Ed depends on Hohenheim.'
>>: Rather dark and twisted, but in a good way. I think. ^_<
No Such Thing as a Free Lunch
Unconditional Surrender
Dependence
Catharsis by Arijan
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: gen
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: 'The price of a brother is tears and struggle and sacrifice; but the rules of the Doors are written in blood for a reason.'
>>: This is another one of those stories where Ed finally succeeds in bringing his brother back, only to have it all go horribly wrong. Horrorifying but bloody well done.
Pawns by Velvet Mace
Rating: R
Pairing: Roy/Ed, Al/Winry
Warnings: m/m, m/f
Summary: After Al regains his original body Ed leaves the military, and they go back home to finally claim their happy ending. Unfortunately, in the real world 'happily ever after' only lasts until the next crisis comes along. The new fuhrer wants to expand his base of power, and he'll do anything to accomplish that—including forcibly conscripting every able-bodied man and woman in the country into the war effort.
>>: This is a lengthy and well constructed story involving plenty of subterfuge, action, and moral dilemma; nice stuff. Take a look at Velvet Mace's other stories too; they're all amazing (if rather dark and disturbing on occasion).
Once Upon a Time by Kaltia
Rating: R
Pairing: Ed/Al
Warnings: one-shot, m/m
Summary: 'They say that a wizard lives in the log cabin, on the other side of the dark woods and the silver river.'
>>: This is a very nicely done futurefic - Al got his body back, but then something unrelated but horrible happened to Ed. Al got him back, but he wasn't quite the same... The angst is tempered by the cuteness of the Elricest, though, so don't worry. One of Kaltia's best; don't miss it.
The Sound of Silence by zakai_
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Roy/Ed
Warnings: noncon, coercion, chanslash
Summary: 'Some secrets aren't meant to be kept.'
>>: Daaark. The premise behind this is pretty much 'what if Roy were the kind of bastard who'd take advantage of a lonely child in a vulnerable position,' and it's probably the most realistic depiction of child abuse I've ever seen, which means that this story is Not Fun. It's bloody well done though, and it deserves to be read.
