Summary
Slave number Twenty Three didn't know what to make of his new Master. The strange boy was nothing like other slave owners. Short on both height and temper, yet strangely kind to him, Master Ed seemed to know something about him that he didn't himself. Just what was it?
(The story where time-traveling to fix the past doesn't work quite as Edward Elric intended, and lost family bonds are reclaimed. Van Hohenheim and Xerxes-centric.)

Summary
He expects something other than lost, frightened brown eyes flicking over him for a moment, or tiny bronze fingers curling into metal. He expects something other than thin, trembling shoulders wrapped loosely in torn, stained fabric or hollow cheeks. He expects something other than tears sliding down that tiny face and matted dark hair tossed in torn, snarled little curls, expects something other than soft little whimpers and a hoarse, pitiful cry of fright.
He expects something, anything other than a tiny, terrified child.
Or:
Roy Mustang ventures into the vents to exterminate a mouse. Instead he finds a small, frightened, very hurt child--a child banished from his home and forced to search for the very thing he's helping Edward Elric look for if he wants even a chance at returning. Instead, he finds himself with the sudden urge to cause a diplomatic incident with the emperor of Xing, and very little desire to let the desperate, lonely kid return somewhere that's only brought him pain and fear.
Instead, he finds himself adopting (another, some part of him mutters) the child, and can't bring himself to mind at all.

Summary
“No. Not..” Edward sighed and laid back down, facing away. Ling was pushing his luck. The conversation made him feel strange. “I don’t see why it matters. It’s just a hypothetical. We have real things to worry about.”
Ling was silent for a long moment.
“...You’re right.”
Six years after the Promised Day, Edward Elric finds himself reading a letter on the train ride out of Aerugo. It's an invitation from Xing, sealed with the Emperor's seal, and signed by none other than Ling Yao. He had his doubts, especially after showing up two whole weeks late, but he was still looking forward to it.
He never imagined that in just five days, everything could crumble.

Summary
(For Edling Week 2026 Day 5: Tradition, Hands)
“You have a long life-line,” Edward says, hushed, tracing the long crease in the middle of Ling’s palm.
He stares for too long at those eyes, sifting through them, but not for answers. He’s looking for nuggets of pyrite, little pieces of deception or faux affection. He finds nothing but pure, perfect gold. “What?”
“Your hands.” Turning Ling’s hand around so he can see, he runs a finger down the center line. “Your life-line is long. Longer than most people’s.”
“Life-line?”
or
Edward (almost) crashes Ling’s enthronement, and then does a little playground palmistry.

Absence (the cold never bothered her anyway). by orphan_account
Fandoms: Fullmetal Alchemist, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga
23 Feb 2014
Tags
Summary
They check the village twice for signs of remaining life, or un-life, because as skilled as the two of them might be at reading chi, the damned read as cold and dead as stone. If anything their presence triggers an absence of the Pulse, as if their frames actively repel the energy of the universe. But one hears sound over silence and light over darkness.
Absence, by definition, refuses to be defined.
Digging her automail blade into the wooden door of the storehouse, Lan Fan slices through. A few decaying corpses pile near the door, blackened hands curled inwards like withered trees in the dead of winter. She kicks at their faces and the overripe fruits of their heads collapse in on themselves. A stench she would liken to rotten soft cheese drifts upwards. Pausing for another second to confirm a lack of movement, Lan Fan drags the corpses outside and adds them to the bonfire in the village centre. After a few moments she feels Ling’s presence in the stream of chi. “We’re clear,” he says. “The rest of the village is dead. Dead dead. Deader than dead.”

(It's the end of the world as they know it, and they pretend they feel fine.)

Summary
"Am I really that obvious?" He asked her. The silence he got in return was answer enough. So, he sighed. Oh well. What could he do about it? He was a man in love.
"You pointing that out will not make me talk about it anymore than I have." He points out, just to make sure they had an understanding. Lan Fan nods, seeming satisfied now, likely filing this information away so that she needn't ask him anymore when he gets that surely particular look on his face.
Day 1- Flame and worth.

Summary
Greed was dead.
It was months after the Promised Day. Ling, Lan Fan, and Mei all returned to Xing. Ling assumed the throne. But something had gone wrong, after the Promised Day. Ling had changed. Something in that final moment with Greed had broken him, and no amount of time could heal those wounds. As Ling drew more and more into himself, it was clear that something had to change if Ling was ever going to return to normal.
Unless, of course, Ling could never return to normal in the first place.
Also known as: the fic where things go horribly, horribly wrong on the Promised Day, and the emperor of Xing isn't quite as he seems.
