    Summary

    Time became a foreign concept, but he was aware of it passing, could see it in the way the concerned faces looming over him multiplied, hands of different sizes tapped insistently against his face, and the distance the clouds had moved. It was a lazy sort of existence, and he didn’t feel any strong urge to shake himself out of it.
    -or-
    Damage to automail isn't as harmless as it appears to be.

    Summary

    “People always talk about how bad the surgery is,” Ed told Hawkeye, “but you never hear people mention how much it sucks to have fifty pounds of metal hanging off your body. Bolts in your bones.”

    “What’s happening?” Mustang asked sharply, turning toward them with his clouded eyes still lingering a few feet over their heads. “Hawkeye? What’s Fullmetal doing? Is there something wrong with his automail?”

    Ed flicked the lighter again, waited a little more patiently this time, and inhaled. Then he gave Hawkeye a nod, giving in to the inevitable. The only reason Mustang hadn’t figured it out already was probably because Ed didn’t do a lot of... this sort of thing. The comfort thing. Mustang liked people to play into his expectations.

    “Edward came out to smoke opium,” Hawkeye said at last. “He says it helps with the pain from his automail.”

    Summary

    Edward Elric is born with a healthy set of lungs and two bright soulmarks on his tiny wrist. The marks are bold against his skin, and when his father holds him up to get a closer look, Ed smacks him on the nose with an uncoordinated fist.
    Trisha Elric laughs.
    A year later, when Alphonse Elric is born with an identical set of marks, one above the other on his shoulder, Hohenheim’s curiosity sinks into confusion.
    Trisha coos at her sons’ matching marks and smiles.

    Or: a soulmate AU where soulbonds are familial rather than romantic, and Ed and Al will always have parents, no matter if Hohenheim walked out on them and Trisha isn't there anymore.

    Inspired by "The Rights and Obligations of Fated Parents: Aizawa's Messy Journey to Parenthood" by Hayato (TheLennyBunny) & SugaSugar
