idk if this exists already (AND IF IT DOES SEND ME THE FUCKIN LINK) but an spn/fma fusion where ed and al hunt demons and roy’s the poor fbi agent who gets tasked with chasing them 

this might be an old topic now but I was digging through your tumblr because I LOVE your work and that AU idea with Ed in the armor came up and it’s just too good gah. I’ve been picturing Ed going through what Al did, probably taking it even worse not being able to eat, and spending sleepless nights thinking of Roy, and wallowing in absolute guilt. I wonder if Ed pushed Al into joining the military; I wonder if every fight they get into, Ed is still the main force, taking every. single. bullet.

These are both old asks, for which I am so sorry!!, but.  Like.  I promised myself I wasn’t going to think about it any more, or at least not until I was done with lots of things, but I LIED.

(Also, @ first anon, in my brain, it would be the other way around – Ed would do everything in his power to deter Al from enlisting, because he’d be so terrified that even if Al didn’t face brushes with death every other day in the military, the whole ideology might poison everything that makes him so very Al.  I think Ed thinks he’s too cynical to be bothered by it, at least at the start, but he’d be SO worried that the guard dog gig would tear Al apart.

…but ofc Al is the only person on the planet more stubborn than he is, so even attempts to openly sabotage Al joining up would fail. XD

He would 150% try to put himself between Al and every possible source of danger, though, omfg.  The armor would be beat to shit in this AU.)

ANYHOO, I have no idea how long it’s going to take me to get to writing this properly, if I ever do, so here’s a 1,400-word scene I banged out one random day in January because I just couldn’t help myself. :’|

Keep reading

Do you know some good fma fics that aren’t so shipy? Thanks!

AO3

Demon Alchemist– really good; it’s a take on how things would have turned out if Al hadn’t survived the human transmutation. It’s thematically dark, but not in an over the top gory way, and plot and writing wise it’s one of the best Fullmetal Alchemist works I’ve ever read.

We Haunt Ourselves– a one-shot that’s similar to the shared body AU I posted a while ago- the writer does a really good job of capturing the right atmosphere.

Trisha’s Boys– a one-shot in which the Elric brothers are half Ishbalan.

Nyctophobia– one-shot post Brotherhood that focuses on an amnesic Pride.

Under Ishvalla– series on the Ishvalan AU involving Mustang discovering Ed and Al’s heritage and Scar attempting to be a teacher. Nina lives.

Desert Gold– another Ishvalan AU. The Elrics embrace their mother’s culture.

Tumblr

(…they all turned out to be by phantomrose96. Guess she’s the only person’s work I save on this sight…)

End Game– Maes Hughes is dead, but Roy still sees him.

Experimental– Greed meets Nina.

Like You’ve Been to War– Roy’s memory slips for a moment.

Untitled– Roy, Maes, and irony.

FFN

Ambidextrous– Ed was right handed, heavy on the was. Mustang’s team help.

Attitude Adjustment– Alphonse shows that he does, in fact, have a temper.

Rapacious Avarice– incomplete story on a time traveling Greedling from the Devil’s Nest perspective.
