Notes: redbrunja asked me in a comment to another fic why my RoyxRiza fics were less fluffy and happy than my EdxRiza ones. Admittedly, due to circumstances and dynamics, it's harder to fluff these two. So I poked a the theme list, and got hit with this in total clarity. I'd been holding out on this theme for another bunny I've had since Feb of '05, but I know I'm never going to write it now. There's a crucial scene with Havoc I had in mind that I know I likely wouldn't be able to write without coming too close for comfort to ripping off John Goodman's speech in "Always". After all, none of my names begin with 'C', let alone two. So redbrunja, this one's dedicated to you. You asked about fluff, and I'm sorry. This one's chock-full of cavity-inducing mush, I'm afraid. ^_^

If a man with the blood of more people than he cared to count on his hands, a man who saw firsthand the effects, the risks, the futility of such actions found himself kneeling at a grave in the dead of night with a shovel in hand, what hope did two young boys who only wanted their mother back have?

This is a morbid suicide 'fic. An uplifting morbid suicide fic. WTF. Yes, I know that sounds weird but that's what it is. I have no idea where my plotbunnies got this crack.

Summary: Well, he'd found someone who understood that. Unfortunately, it seemed to come at the price of her not understanding that she wasn't a fill-in-the-blank placebo, interchangeable with any one of a hundred faces or names that would never be quite what he needed.

When You Touch Me

He knew his automail hand was cold. But he wore gloves so often, and Al had been the only person he was around regularly enough to touch without them that it was easy to forget. But Riza never flinched or jumped, even when he knew it had to be a shock. It was moments like those which made him love her all the more, just as she didn't flinch then when cold, metal fingers touched her face.

He watched her, that beautiful, lethal, loyal woman beside him on the bed. He wouldn't have blamed her if she did, if she protested to the heavier weight of his metal limbs, if she didn't want anything to do with him at all, fallen, damaged sinner that he was.

Ed wasn't prepared to fall in love all over again when she caught his hand and pressed her lips to the cool metal, knowing he couldn't feel it the way his other hand could. She accepted him as he was, without reservation, and he again felt luckier than he had any right to be that at the right moment in time, he'd caught that glimpse of a warm heart under that rigid military mask.

Read Part I first



( A Kind of Pale Jewel - Part II )

Title: A Kind of Pale Jewel
Author: emilie_burns
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Pairing: Edward Elric/Riza Hawkeye
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 12,603 (wtf, plotbunny? You promised me it'd be a short little PWP when I started. Liar.)
Disclaimer: Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) is copyrighted by Hiromu Arakawa/Square Enix. This is a work of fanfiction for personal entertainment only. The premise of this story is inspired by some events in the doujinshi "Angelus" by the Fantasy Wind circle. (spoiler note: I'm disregarding the actual ending to the doujinshi at the demand of the plotbunnies, but I won't reveal what that is.)
Warnings: OOCness for Mustang, working with the characterization provided by the doujinshi. Mentions of rape.
Summary: With a restored Al, Ed returns to Central for a State Alchemist reevaluation, and while there, he chooses to seek absolution and make right something that went horribly wrong during another such visit years ago.
Notes: This fic was originally supposed to be a simple little PWP from a bunny that bit me while reading Angelus. The characterization in that was centered around a rather cracktastic dream, so it shouldn't have been too hard, right? Ha. Tricksy little bunnieses. Excuse the references of Roy's characterization. That was kept constant with the doujinshi. The rest of it though? The bunnies demanded it be kept in-character. Very absurdly in-character and plot-intensive for what was supposed to be a simple, damned PWP. Bunnies lie, I tell you this now. In interest in keeping this from getting even more out of control than it already has, I'm not going to waste a long build-up explaining the last five or so years since the events in "Angelus" (which I'll recap sufficiently so actual reading of the doujinshi isn't necessary) We'll just say things went differently, Ed got Al restored at least, and did not end up across the Gate, and so far things are still status quo more or less in the military. Please remember, the setting and history I'm working off'a? Comes from a doujinshi. Which are usually just this side of the WTF line if not way the hell over with headlong abandon anyway.

I also blame Al. Al pwnz everybody. Al demanded fluffy gen screentime with his brother. When Al demands, Al gets.

Dedication: Thanks to yuuo for being an enabler who made this pairing grow on me and all the encouragement and listening to me bitch about the lying, tricksy plotbunny. And for bleedingsand for listening to me babble about it, and for a parting and birthday gift. Yes, it's for both of you, and since it turned into such a complicated and long PornWithPlot (tricksey little bunnieses) you two can share. XP ♥

Title: Blurring the Edges
Author: emilie_burns
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Pairing: Edward Elric/Riza Hawkeye
Prompt: FMA Kink Meme for an Ed/Riza bondage request, hosted by blacknymph.
Wordcount: 714
Genre: smut
Rating: NC-17
Teaser: That was how she wound up where she was: in one of the restrooms in the headquarters building, the smooth porcelain of the sink trapping her hands and keeping her bent over facing the mirror...
Warnings: Mild Riza-centric manga spoilers, bondage.
Author's Notes: This was originally written anonymously in response to the meme. I was also correct in guessing who requested it, hence the mangaverse reference. I'm quite proud of this short little PWP I managed to type up in an hour's time, so here it is.
