Hohenheim had considered through the years changing his name. It was given to him by the... thing that ultimately saved and ruined his life. He never had though, keeping it as a reminder to himself of what was done. But even if he had to keep it, he couldn't allow his wife to take it upon herself as well.

Edward Elric knew very well that you met all kind of crazies in the West. He spent the past six months traveling among them after all. But when he heard about disappearances being linked to human transmutation, he was not expecting to meet a skinny, pale boy no older than Al apparently responsible.

Alphonse Elric only sought to get a little piece of the dreams he had before the Great War tore the world apart. Traveling to Xing to pursue a study of alkahestry, however, became much more complicated when he found himself ensnared in betrayal, politics, centuries old hatred, rebellion, and love.

Ling had promised that he was only going to observe his guard's womanhood ceremony. He wasn't even supposed to be there, having gone to get away from the politics at the palace. But... he really couldn't help himself. "Shall we dance, Lan Fan?" LingFan

When people did rude things they deserved to be called rude didn't they? That's what her mother had always taught her. But Lan Fan knew that if she called the Young Lord a rude little boy that he would be able to punish her. She didn't want to get punished. She didn't want to disappoint Grandfather or her mother. So she couldn't call him "rude"...

It just wasn't something they ever had to discuss. AlMei Week 2014

Proposals in Xing were odd, convoluted things. AlMei Week 2014

Mei couldn't seem to sleep no matter how hard she tried. It was simply too cold, despite the three blankets she had piled on top of her. However, shortly after giving up on attempting, she realizes that she's not the only one still awake. AlMei Week 2014

When Alphonse Elric received his first scar after getting his body back, he was overjoyed. There were many people that he could share the experience with. Ed had been with him almost every step of the way in his metal body. So why was the first person he could think of telling hundreds of miles away? AlMei Week 2014

Alphonse Elric was not an unreasonable person. Everything had some sort of reason behind it, but then why, for heaven's sake, did he despise the phrase "falling in love?"

Lan Fan had imagined just about every possible thing that could go wrong, marrying Ling. But the one thing that proved to be more of a problem than anything was something she had never considered. She never stayed in bed with him the whole night. And Ling, waking up from a nightmare and finding her absent, is not eager for this pattern to continue. LingFan.

Alphonse Elric had never been one to write in books. He preferred taking notes on a separate sheet of paper. Or his notebook, depending on what the book was. Apparently the last owner of this textbook had had no such inhibitions though. He or she had written all over the book. Well that was what he got for buying an alkahestry textbook online for 40 dollars.

When they talked about the great Heroes of Olympus, they wouldn't mention him. They would talk about the Seven Heroes of the Prophecy, maybe mentioned Reyna. Not him. He stuck to the shadows, helping not for the glory but because it was the right thing to do. So it seemed only appropriate that the shadows would swallow him for doing the same.

She was a friend of Bill's from school, the wife of Remus Lupin, daughter of Andromeda and Ted Tonks, an Auror, Member of the Order of the Phoenix, mother of a werewolf's child, and the reason he couldn't stand himself enough to stay.

The Theory of Equivalent Exchange states that happiness must be paid for by misery, moment for moment. That misery endured means happiness for the future. That every ray of sunshine is paid for by shadow. The Darkness will always be there for the Light. But the Light lives one, endures. Even in the Darkest day, the Light burns on.

The boy had blond hair that was carefully combed away from his face, even though it looked like it was about to fall into his eyes. His eyes were golden, and his smile wide and kind. He wasn't the Fullmetal Alchemist though. AlMei Week 2014.

Tonks hadn't even realized that it was a full moon that night, not until the morning when Sirius stumbled down stairs having spent the night with his werewolf best friend. It probably wouldn't have had that much affect on her life, except she volunteered to help patch Remus up and ended up leaning more about the man than she bargained for.

They were separate, but they knew. They knew the fear that filled his every fiber when he learned Trisha was pregnant. They knew his apprehension at being a father, but his determination to do the best job he could. They knew how he loved Trisha Elric as he had never loved another human. And they were jealous.

Alphonse Elric had never seen so many broken men.
