The Quality of Mercy
All written works displayed are (C) K.E. Wright.
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Teaser: "A worry line creased his brow. 'It's not like you to wallow in self-pity, Fullmetal...'
I snorted. 'I no longer bear that title, Flame Alchemist,' I reminded him harshly. 'And since I am no longer that boy, I find myself doing many things that were not like the Fullmetal Alchemist.' Like kissing a woman just to try to make her happy. Like building a house over the past I fled from like a brat. Like lusting after the Flame Alchemist. "
Inspiration:I was actually just dwelling on the character of Edward Elric... and some RoyEd wanted out...
I've been watching the first anime for FMA, and the opening always opens, "Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth." That line has always just ...stuck with me...
Rating:M because "alchemy" cannot be spelled without it!
Warnings:
-Male/Male
-Sweary words
-Depression/Angst
-Broken Edward...
-Coping Mechanisms
-Relationships with Growing Pains
Main Pairing:Edward Elric/Roy Mustang
Minor Pairings:
-(attempted) Edward Elric/Winry Rockbell
-Alphonse Elric/Winry Rockbell
-(implied) Kain Fuery/Vato Falman
-Riza Hawkeye/Jean Havoc
Setting:Post-Brotherhood. It sorta just... discards the teasers as to their futures, though...
POV:It looks like Ed and Roy, so far...
Summary: Of all the things to send his younger brother running, it's the revelation of his sexuality... Ironically, it sends him running, too... but it's who his brother sends back for him that gives Ed pause.
Additional Ans: I love Alphonse. I want to say that now, before anyone makes any mistake about that fact. I love that cutie! But this fan-fiction seems to require some negative things from him.
Also, I broke Ed on accident. That's why Roy is necessary.
The title comes from a famous section from William Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice". It is suited to where the story is headed, as you'll see...
Inspirational music: "Bed of Lies" by Matchbox 20...
Dedication:To my dear and beloved Alphoseelric22. She loves a good RoyEd, has put up with me being a weirdo, and understands that we have to break our characters sometimes –but only the ones who can handle it.
I hope you love "The Quality of Mercy", Alphonse!
