Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) is copyrighted by Hiromu Arakawa/Square Enix. This is a work of fanfiction for personal entertainment only. Quotations are lines from Meat Loaf's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (feat. Marion Raven; Bat Out of Hell III : The Monster is Loose album). The 'point of passion' quote is by Julie de Lespinasse.
Notes: This is the third and final story in a longer arc. Spoilers for the full series and the movie. Begins immediately after the movie's end on the Amestris side of things. And if I could've found an MP3 of Bill Medley's "Most of All You", then Meat Loaf might'a had competition for this one.
Summary: "One chess piece is the same as any other, if you know which piece it should be, and which color it is. I dare say an alchemist could turn a pawn into a king if they so desired."

Notes: This is the second story in a longer arc. Spoilers for the full series and the movie. Begins immediately after the movie's end on the Amestris side of things.
Summary: Everything was almost like it was, once upon a time when there were still dreams left. But they were gone now, or maybe it was just hers that had left, resulting in a hollow shell that paled out in comparison to those that still lived and breathed.

Notes: Blame IWIWAL for this plotbunny. That said, I'm not completely happy with this fic, but neither can I find any threads to pick up to weave more into it. Rather than poking around blindly and possibly overdoing it, I'm leaving it as is unless I ever get a clear flash of inspiration on what it might be missing, if anything. Spoilers for Manga Chapter 39 on up.
Summary: It was then she realized that sometimes, scars could be beautiful.

Author's Notes: Made the deadline, despite RL hectic crap, hand problems, and sickness. T_T;; Roy-dominant; Riza's point of view became the dominant one necessary for this story. Thanks to Asrimal and Kefanii for giving me a quick beta. (I also lost in the 'think up a good title' department ::sigh::)
Summary: "A little harsh?" he retorted. "How would you like to be called useless?"

Disclaimer: Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) is copyrighted by Hiromu Arakawa/Square Enix. This is a work of fanfiction for personal entertainment only. Spoilers for manga chapters 37 and 38. I take some liberties in the dialogue from a scene in 38 due to the awkwardness of the translations in my scanlation copy. The lines remain the same in concept and meaning, but are far less stilted and literal. Special thanks to joanaseta for some concrit correcting a few errors I made. It's very appreciated. ♥
Summary: It was too raw, too fresh, too clear in his mind. The silence on the phone. There wasn't silence this time, but gunshots. The only question was, whose gun? He saw the phone booth again; the roped-off, bloodstained phone booth.

Disclaimer: Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) is copyrighted by Hiromu Arakawa/Square Enix. This is a work of fanfiction for personal entertainment only. The Latin quotation is from Roman poet, Ovid, taken from the first book of Ars Amatoria. Jossed.
Notes: As far as continuity goes, this could be placed sometime during the years between Edward getting his State Alchemist certification, and closer to the point of time where the regular timeline picks up. Manga!verse, since the train incident wasn't part of the past but in the regular timeline there. No spoilers. And why are my 'fics for these two so far for a romance comm the least heavy in the romance save for subtle undertones compared to my 'fics for them in two other theme challenge comms? I lose at life.
Summary: But he also knew that those who didn't take risks rarely made history, that if he wanted to have a chance at making it to the top before old age caught up with them both, he needed to seize every opportunity that came his way to draw the correct sort of attention to him.

Word Count: 1417
Disclaimer: Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) is copyrighted by Hiromu Arakawa/Square Enix. This is a work of fanfiction for personal entertainment only. No spoilers, preseries, taking place during the Ishbal War. Jossed.
Notes: This was actually supposed to be a completely different 'fic. I started another 'fic (which I'll be posting once I finish it) for another theme here, and a few words started running off in a completely different direction. It's been complete for a few days, but I wasn't sure if I should keep it with the other bit I was doing. After a little more work, I could see they didn't fit together inside the same 'fic anymore, so... two for the price of one!
Summary: She saw him before he knew she existed. Her first thought was that he was handsome, but far too much so for it to have any effect on her. He had looked like someone who had stepped out from between the pages of a book, the perfection of imagination manifest. Then a maddening, arrogant smirk crossed his features while conversing with someone else as they left the station for the general's office.

Notes: Four themes, four communities, one fic. While poking around for another way to interpret the first night in Ishbal, I decided to up the difficulty factor. I'm not interpreting the first night in a literal physical sense here. There's other firsts to be had.
