a private + selective EDWARD ELRIC from FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, primarily brotherhood and manga - based ... ( by kait, twenty - four, any pronouns )
⁰¹‧ humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return: to obtain something of equal value, something must be lost — this is the law of equivalent exchange, the basis of all alchemy ... !
my rant of the day is that i think that thinking about edward's travel is so so interesting because he does it so much i'm sure that there's a sort of routine... i'm sure there's almost a memorization of train schedules, of maps, of where to go the catch this train or that train. somewhat of an idea of what hotels to stay at. edward not only being a traveler, but being a good traveler because he quite literally lives out of a suitcase
fullmetal alchemist medieval fantasy verse is sooo easy btw
YOU MOW DOWN MEN LIKE ELDER - STEMS, and you leave women sighing for one last sight of you ; but they do wrong ... you are a man of mist, and have no shadow. god save you, lancelot ! if i laugh at you, i laugh in envy and admiration.
** private && selective LANCELOT DU LAC from arthurian legend, with inspiration taken from a variety of sources ... as adapted by kait ( twenty - four, any pronouns ) ! est. 2023

it's on his fifth read that he starts to think that maybe, just maybe, he's read this page before ... it's hour six in the library, hour six of hunch - backed concentration — nothing but boy and book and book and boy. he's curled his world around it, taking it into himself like he would an injured limb, as if with enough tender - hearted care and devotion it would reveal to him all the world's secrets. ( well, fat chance of that. ) it's on the sixth read that he shuts the book with a decided bang, almost cursing at another lack - luster day spent holed up in eastern command and actually cursing at the realization that today marked a week spent deciphering the same damn book.
... and, as if things can't get any worse, there's that familiar prickle at the nape of his neck, that tension starting to grow where metal meets skin. as usual, @wildcharqe is felt before she is seen, and heard before he decides what he wants to do about it: ❛❛ i bought two. here. ❜❜
something lands on the table with a thud — something he deliberately ignores as he moves through the steps of untangling himself: his arms raising in an arch above his head, his automail foot planted firmly on the ground as he works through the process of shaking some life into the other ... and finally, finally — after every muscle has been stretched, every book stacked, and every pencil fitted into a nice line — he turns to look ... it's a hot dog, poorly wrapped, a trickle of mustard already dripping down onto the table. but, he snatches it up all the same, moving even as he speaks: ❛❛ what, did you spit on it ? ❜❜
consider this a plotting call !
i think that something that kind of gets lost when people think about edward and alphonse's relationship is that alphonse is every bit the little asshole teenager that edward is, he's just typically more polite about it

Sun & moon, one of blood & one of salvation. Solf & Edward were too different, yet one thing they shared was their unrelenting devotion to their beliefs. [ the fire of the young alchemist could perhaps scorch hotter than the flames of the flame alchemist. ] His eyes are fighting, are full of life, just as the words spat at Kimblee's direction. There is a faint grin growing, almost amused by the words, before taking note of the sudden change of stance. He nearly grazed him, inches away from his chin as Kimblee took a step back & wagged a finger in the other's direction. ❛ What if you kill someone nearby trying to fight me, Fullmetal? I'm not as caring when it comes to casualties. ❜
somehow, the miss catches him off guard — his boot scraping by a hair's breadth from his target ... he overcorrects, body swinging a few steps back as he tries to regain even a semblance of balance. yet, irony of all ironies, it's kimblee's words that bring him back to solid ground. he freezes — though his eyes shift even as his body stills, searching desperately for even the faintest sliver of human life. ( the buildings to their right seem empty enough, but the ones to their left ... ) he straightens, body stretching to it's full height as he starts a slow and steady trudge to the right, hoping against hope that kimblee's attacks will follow. ❛❛ i'm not interested in killing anybody, not even you ... this fight is between you and me, there's no need to get anyone else involved. ❜❜

it's around half - past three that he starts getting antsy — his life is one spent in a state of perpetual motion, each minute a train to catch, each second another step forward ... and here the colonel is, holding him up as usual. he adds it to his ever shifting, ever growing list of things he dislikes about the man, which has conveniently been running through his head in a condensed form for exactly the last seven minutes, becoming more and more desperate with every tick of the clock:
point one: colonel mustang looks like an asshole point two: colonel mustang talks like an asshole point three: colonel mustang was meant to be at this meeting thirty minutes ago and he's still nowhere to be seen so fuck the bastard, if he's not here in the next five minutes i'm out — yearly assessment be damned
it's just as he's decided to grab his things and leave that he hears it ... the familiar clip of military issued boots just down the hall, his tormentor approaching exactly forty - five minutes late. he sits completely still, every muscle in his body tensed for explosion, every particle of him waiting to give that fucking asshole of a colonel a piece of his mind and — ❛❛ oh, hey lieutenant. ❜❜ he deflates at once, slumping back into his seat with a defeated sigh. ❛❛ you haven't seen the colonel have you ? i was meant to hand in my yearly assessment at three. ❜❜
@ohuwak ( for riza, starter call ! )
consider this a starter call !
@alchaemist liked for a starter!
Accepting!
❛ It's been some time now, hasn't it? With such a cold stare you're giving me, you could kill me right where I stand; But your morals will never let you spill blood. Shame, you could have been grand. ❜
❛❛ i'd rather be a sucker than a monster like you any-day. ❜❜ his words are thrown with all the teenage aplomb he can muster, rimmed with confidence despite the seed of doubt he can already feel rooting itself somewhere in his stomach. ❛❛ besides, i said i'd never kill — i never said anything about spilling a little blood ... ! ❜❜ doubt be damned ! he moves, he strikes — lashing out viciously with his automail leg and all but praying that it hits home.
it's quiet back home ... for years his life has been constant forward motion — a whirlwind of train cars and hotel dinners, a new city every week ( if not every day ), his entire existence cut down to the size of a suitcase. so, it's safe to say he doesn't quite know how to cope now that he has, quite literally, been turned out to pasture. he spends his days drifting between bouts of syrup - slow stupor and violent bursts of activity: a morning spent lazing around the house capable of turning quite suddenly into a full - fledged war on granny's ever - leaky roof — an on - going battle he's beginning to believe he may never win. he's on a tear today, leaving no stone unturned and no soft spot un - prodded as he prowls from room to room, a long forgotten book still clutched tight in one hand.
❛❛ hey winry — looking for leaks !! ❜❜ graceful as always, he swings the door wide and makes himself at home, not even sparing her a second glance as he clambers onto her bed to poke and prod at where ceiling meets wall.

THIS IS THE LAW OF EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE, the basis of all alchemy. in accordance with this law, there is a taboo among alchemists: human transmutation is strictly forbidden — for what could equal the value of a human soul ... ? **
