| 15 | * Comments: Excellent writing and characterization. The author also writes for the ''Harry Potter'' and ''Cardcaptor Sakura'' fandoms but is currently writing for ''Fullmetal Alchemist''. The author also has two or three FMA/HP crossovers. In between fic updates, the author whips out some of the best-written one-shots. |

| 20 | * Comments: If you're searching for well-written Fem!Ed x Roy fanfiction, but don't know where to look, then search no more. This author practically specializes in writing about the two of them, and a majority of her fics have ranged from heartbreaking to hilariously adorable. She's also written a bit about [=EdWin=] and normal [=RoyEd=], so if you like any of these pairings, her fanfics won't fail to disappoint! (Warning: Several of her fics are rated M.) |

| 24 | * Recommended by: [=MEWtiful=] |
| 25 | * Comments: The writer has written eight stories for ''Fullmetal Alchemist'': some SugarWiki/{{Warm and Fuzzy|Feeling}}, some bitterly sad. (To this day, ''February Thirteenth'' is the only fanfiction I have ever read that has managed to make me cry.) Whatever the case, you know that the characters' relationships are going to be explored beautifully. Heck, if it's a long story there may even be development, an accomplishment that is the holy grail of a media swimming with OOC stories. There is sex, but none of the stories are LemonFic; this does give them an "M" rating. |
| 26 | ** NOTE: For reasons unknown, all of Laetans' FMA stories are gone. Wither the author pulled them down his/herself, or... Which is a pity; this troper enjoyed those stories. |

| 36 | * Comments: As a general warning, this author writes mostly Roy/Ed, so if you can't stand that kind of stuff you may want to give this one a pass. If you CAN stand it, give it a look. The writing style is wonderful, especially with descriptions. Special mention goes to the author's current project, ''The Saffron Soul''. I could go on for hours about how wonderful this story is, how interesting the plot is, how vivid the pictures it paints are, how each chapter has me on the edge of my seat... it's just awesome.

| 40 | * Recommended by: Hawking |
| 41 | * Comments: Warning: Not for the faint of heart. This author writes some of the most heart-wrenchingly depressing stuff out there, and most of it is Ed/Envy - but realistic. Which mostly ends up just about as badly as you'd expect. Of special note is their pairing-less AU ''Hero of the People'', in which Envy and Wrath are the Elric brothers. |

| 45 | * Recommended by: Yabumi, Dame-Amaryllis |
| 46 | * Comments: Her ''Demon Alchemist'' series (aka the crazy!Ed verse) is already recced below. Other works tend to be more humorous, and even that much DarkerAndEdgier take on the series is pretty funny. Tends to write post-canon and canon pairings, with one series solely populated by absurd ships (and [=RoyEd=]). Themes common to all stories: Roy and his subordinates' ultimate goal is to take over the world; causing explosions is the Elric way; Ed and Winry (whether as a pairing or friends) can communicate through pointed staring, a superpower they abuse to bicker in public. |

| 51 | * Comments: Her ''Even the Wizards'' universe, (A ''Harry Potter''/''Brotherhood''&manga crossover) is to die for. Everyone is in character, very much themselves, and taking no nonsense, and this troper often finds herself hearing the voices of Greed, Ling, Ed, Mustang, and Armstrong when she reads the sections with them. Cavy has a positive knack for the attitudes, and refreshingly unique ideas, adding such gems as the talking Gate (it makes sense in context) or Ling's side-splitting idea of a distraction. |

| 61 | * Status: Complete |
| 62 | * Synopsis: Roy Mustang and Ed get a lesson in what it means to bring a 12 year old into the military after Edward falls into the hands of terrorists. |
| 63 | * 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. It's written from Roy's pov, and his musings on Ed—aware that a child working for the military is incredibly wrong but also aware that Ed's unequivocably ''damn good'' at it—are really lovely. |
| 64 | * Seconded by Jinjoo88. The author's other FMA fic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6906761/1/Fullmetal-s-Company Fullmetal's Company]]" is also well worth a read. Ed is placed in a position where he is the highest ranking officer in a combat situation. |

A blackly funny account of the doings of Edward Elric, Demon Alchemist, and professional SerialKillerKiller, as narrated by Maes Hughes (mostly). Featuring an overprotective Mustang, a terrifyingly competent Hawkeye, and almost everyone else. |

The author has constructed several mechanisms to keep the suspense up and keep the flow of the story from settling into the tired 'show a scene/characters snark about it' groove. [[spoiler:In particular, she makes the characters feel the pain of any injury happening to them onscreen.]] Also, worth it for complex character interactions in between viewing sessions.

| 338 | * Recommended by: [=Jhall934=] |
| 339 | * Status: Complete |
| 340 | * Synopsis: Standing up and moving forwards feels a lot more like picking yourself up and trudging onwards. This is a story of Edward Elric trying to get home from to Amestris from Germany, and Alphonse's quest to help bring him back. |
| 341 | * Comments: She began writing this right after the original series ended. So it takes into account the events of the anime but not COS. It is good because it has an interesting plot that adds on to the events that occurred throughout the original anime. It also does justice to all of the characters. She does have some [=OCs=] but they are relevant to the plot as well as to Germany at that time. She also gives some much-needed development to many of the characters, Winry, for example, becomes more like her Brotherhood counterpart and isn't restricted to the sidelines and Edward's relationship with Hohenheim is touched upon very well. Also, the situation concerning Alphonse is handled well. To sum it up, this fanfiction is a good read for those who didn't like COS. It has not been updated for awhile but I do think she will finish it. The 40+ chapters that are currently out are definitely worth reading. |

The writing style may seem dry at first, but there are a lot of unexpectedly wry or touching moments. Best of all, she has a better handle on every member of Team Mustang than almost anybody on FFN, and gives as much respect and affection to Falman or Breda as to Roy and Riza; she incorporates several non-canon (but canon-compliant) notions about their various pasts, goals, religious views, and so on, but she keeps it so in-character and fascinating that I've started taking some of them as canon. |

There are no really solid, over-arching plots in the Main Archive, which mostly contains "a day in the life" drabbles (to short stories) about the five and is categorized by subject and not chronology. If a story falls into a certain part of the general timeline, it is noted in the story's lj entry. There is a Plot Archive, where specific story arcs, often following their own canon, are listed. |

| 723 | * Recommended by: Tiamat Dragon Queen |
| 724 | * Status: Complete |
| 725 | * Crossover with: ''Literature/HarryPotter'' |
| 726 | * Synopsis: For some reason, Ed and Al were visiting Hogwarts, probably to ask Dumbledore where they could find Nicholas Flamel to ask him about the Philosophers Stone. While Ed is in Dumbledore's office, and Al is waiting outside due to being unable to fit the staircase Dumbledore, being a MagnificentBastard tries to use Legilimens on Ed. Unfortunately for him, Ed's been to the GateOfTruth, and Truth doesn't take kindly to people trying to snoop at the True knowledge. As a result, Dumbledore gets pulled through Ed's personal Gate and doesn't get anything out of it, while Truth makes a copy of Dumbledore's memories up to that point, and gives that copy to Ed. While Dumbles was encountering Truth, Ed didn't take kindly to having his mind poked at. By the time Dumbledore is freed from what used to be his desk, cabinets, pensive, and wall, as well as had his broken nose fixed, Ed and Al are long gone and have taken five-year-old Harry back to Amestris with them. And from there things unfold. |
| 727 | * Comments: Ed's narrative adds dry humor to everything, beginning with his wondering if Petunia ware a failed Horse Chimera, and continuing into the Give Mustang a Headache Game. The plot is well thought out, Truth is awesome, and clearly ''up to something.'' Dumbledore is not only a Magnificent Bastard, but a ManipulativeBastard Harry gets a loving family with two older brothers, a loving (if somewhat crazy) mother who will teach him how to defend himself, a silent but loving father, and a plethora of honorary family in the form of Team Mustang. Gamma actually figured out how ''Fullmetal Alchemist'' could take place in the same world as Harry Potter without anyone knowing about Amestris and all the neighboring countries, and it has a spark of originality in a crossover that this troper hasn't seen since Laora's fic ''Penance''. Bonus points for the fact that the wizarding world knew a little about Xerxes, although not as anything more than a myth - at least until Ed turns up fitting the description of the golden people, AKA the Xerxesians. |

| 742 | * Synopsis: Allen had the same stupid height complex he did, and the same stupid naivete of Al. That was it, Ed was adopting him as an unofficial Elric. It was only fair. (This is a story blending the FMA manga and anime versions, with the Anime origin of homunculi and other side of the gate, but manga Truth and Briggs. It is not the usual FMA crossover, as getting back to Amestris is rather simple once they figure out '''how''', but then things take a turn for the strange when an investigation on the Ark calls Truth into play, with a task for the three Elric brothers.) |

| 759 | * Comments: One of the few crossovers I've read that actually makes sense rather than being pure [[CrackFic crack]]. It takes place in mangaverse chapter 105/Order of the Phoenix, so here there be spoilers. Ed and Al get pulled through the gate (like all FMA crossovers) and arrive in a strange place that seems to defy every law of nature: Number 12 Grimmauld Place. However, someone (something?) else arrived with them... A great story, though a few chapters are a bit slow because of exposition. No fluff. |

| 876 | * Comments: Written from Harry's POV and does a great job capturing Butcher's turn of phrase. Could believably be another Dresden novella. Absolutely hilarious! |

| 921 | * Synopsis: In 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. |
| 922 | * 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 case of Ed and Al) affects their outlook on life. An enjoyable character study for fans of ''Fullmetal Alchemist'' without needing to know too much about ''My Hero Academia''. |
