* Synopsis: Two years after the Promise Day, the Elric brothers are living their days peacefully and quietly. That is, until one fateful day the Truth appears before them and drags them to another world. The Truth offers them a deal: in exchange for bringing back to life their loved ones, plus giving Ed back his ability to perform Alchemy, they must help a group of people battle an enemy which they do not understand but who seek to annihilate them. Both of them reluctantly accept, and once the new world they realize the conflict they've been thrown into is more sinister and complicated than they first assumed.

Crossover: ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''
* Synopsis: In which Yuri Plisetsky began life an Amestris different from the manga, a sizable fraction of the people are born with Quirks. These powers have an influence of what path a person could take in life, but they certainly don't define a person outright.
* Comments: A drabble series that asks "What if Fullmetal Alchemist has Superpowers" and shows how they affect Fullmetal's cast and society. Each section explores how being born with or without powers (or losing them in
the name Edward Elric, case of Ed and this has made the world Al) affects their outlook on life. An enjoyable character study for fans of figure skating a significantly stranger and more alarming place.

* Synopsis: An assignment to snow country under Colonel Mustang is bad enough for the damper it puts on the Elrics' search for the Stone, but downed supply lines lead to cut rations, and Ed discovers that he can't take the deprivation as well as he'd like to pretend.
* Comments: I feel like we, as a fandom, don't talk NEARLY enough about the fact that Ed NEEDED to eat and sleep twice as much to keep his brother alive, I'd take like a 100 more fics just like this.

* Comments: I know what the synopsis sounds like but believe me, it has nothing to do with the tired "Ed gets kidnapped by terrorists and Roy worriedly comes to the rescue" plot that has been rehashed so many times in fma fic. Ed is released as soon as the fic starts, and the way Ed regards any rough treatment suffered as a humiliation to pay back tenfold, gamely and immediately moving to take the criminals down, rings much more true to his canon personality. Roy's perspective on who Ed is as both a child and an asset is also really lovely.
