    Summary

    Eight years can make a lot of difference.

    Edward Elric, youngest State Alchemist in history, is 15 when Executive Order 3066 takes effect, turning a civil war into genocide.

    All State Alchemists are to serve at the front lines of Ishval and kill indiscriminately, humans turned weapons.

    --

     

    Ed shields his eyes against the blazing desert sun of Ishval and tries to ignore the way his white glove is stained red, pretends it’s oil instead of blood.

     

    There is a wave of heat from somewhere to his right and up ahead, yards away but unnaturally strong, and the wind carries with it screams and the smell of burning flesh.

     

    A shot echoes through the stillness of the high noon, and he counts to five in his head. Another shot.

    Summary

    Time became a foreign concept, but he was aware of it passing, could see it in the way the concerned faces looming over him multiplied, hands of different sizes tapped insistently against his face, and the distance the clouds had moved. It was a lazy sort of existence, and he didn’t feel any strong urge to shake himself out of it.
    -or-
    Damage to automail isn't as harmless as it appears to be.

    Summary

    The first time around, he sees everyone around him drop dead one by one, eliminated early in the game so they’re not a threat later. He sees Father suck the life of all those that made it far enough. He sees Al’s eyes dim in the armor, and Ed just… gives up.

    Truth has other plans.

    —§—

    “You’ll be able to go back, time and time again, until you fix things. When you do, I’ll give your little brother his body back. Equivalent exchange.”

    It’s too good to be true. There has to be a catch somewhere.

    “What do you say, Mister Al-che-mist?”

    (Ed is foolish enough to accept on the spot.)

    Summary

    "So let me get this straight," Roy leaned back in his chair as if the physical toll of processing this information was too much. "You were thirteen yesterday, but you fused with your future self and now look eighteen, the military is full of monsters, we need to kill the Fuhrer to save the country, and you've apparently time-traveled to tell us all this."
    Edward grimaced. "I didn't time-travel on purpose, and I'm fucking twenty-eight, you bastard."
    Roy cracked the smallest smile at the retort, and the expression shot an arrow straight through Edward's chest. Shit. He didn't know it was possible, but his heart was breaking more and more each time Roy looked his way.
    "I see your fond nickname for me hasn't changed over the years." He chuckled.
    Edward felt something inside him break. The realization barely hit him at that moment; Edward was completely and unequivocally *still* in love with this man.
    Fuck.

    (AKA time travel fic where Roy and Ed DID end up together originally, but it didn't work out so well. Edward is hurting, Roy is trying, and both are trying to not make the same mistakes-- though it's an extra challenge considering Edward won't tell anyone what even happened in the future--)
