Pairing: Edward Elric/Roy Mustang
Summary:
The kiss he pressed on Ed‘s cheekbone was as gentle as it was mocking, and Ed could feel his cheeks flare up hotly with shame when Roy continued very softly, every single word like the lash of a whip, “I‘ll tear you open and take everything you‘ve got, and you‘ll thank me on your knees like a good slut, my love. I‘ll have you here and now, and all these perfectly nice people in their very nice evening dresses out there in the hall listening to music are only one door away from discovering how easy you are. How much you love it when I take you apart.“

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Pairing: Edward Elric/Roy Mustang
Summary:
Roy Mustang is a Colonel in the army and is on the trail of a dangerous alchemist reported to have committed the gravest crime of all: human transmutation. He finds instead an amputated eleven-year-old boy, Roy's soulmark on his remaining arm.
Edward Elric is thirteen years old when he meets his soulmate. An intelligent and handsome state alchemist more than three decades his senior. He should feel happy, but he can't help the feeling that something doesn't feel right.
A story about trauma and the ways we can heal through the people we love.

Jun. 1st, 2026 10:56 pmQuick note that post-by-email and comment-by-email is (sometimes?) failing silently without actually posting right now! I'm pretty sure this is related to last night's shenanigans and will be fixed once Mark can finish the full fix for it, which he's working on, but if you've posted or replied by email in the last 24 hours, fish it out of your sent folder to check if it posted!
EDIT: This should be fixed as of around 7AM EDT! We *believe* everything that was stuck in the plumbing has been sent along to your journal or the comment thread it was meant for; it's definitely not where it was stuck anymore, at least.
