RoyEd Gift Exchange

Old Habits Die Hard

Pairing: Roy/Ed

Rating: T

Summary: It’s been years since Overwatch was disbanded, but Ed fully intends to seize onto this new opportunity to do some good again.

But there’s one person he knows they can’t re-form their organization without.   

Notes: So, it’s definitely the 25th in the UK, so MERRY CHRISTMAS or whatever you might celebrate to @green-red-sun!!

Ed squinted in the semi-darkness.  He couldn’t seem to get a good read on the room at all; he wondered if it was just that he wasn’t used to it, having come in from the bright sunlight, and its inhabitant was. He had spent most of the past long while in the dark, if the rumors were to be believed.

Personally, Ed thought it was just because Roy Mustang was a melodramatic motherfucker.

“You know, it wouldn’t kill you to turn on a light or two every once in a while,” Ed drawled, crossing his arms, hip resting in the doorway as he took in what information he could ahead of him.  The gleam of what little light that snuck into the room reflected off the glass in Roy’s hand, filled with something that definitely wasn’t water.

Silence settled for a few moments.

“And would it kill you,” croaked a voice, hoarse but still recognizable after all these years, “to knock every once in a while?”

RoyEd Gift Exchange 2017

@automailsucker I hope this is fluffy, hurt/comforty, and recovery/sickficy enough! Happy Holidays to you and yours :)

(Please forgive any editing errors, I did my best but I’ve been staring at this for days so I’m sure I missed some glaring ones)

Summary:

The bastard’s remaining eye finally cracked open a fraction and a low, pained hiss escaped his lips, mirroring Ed’s relieved exhale of a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding. “Fullmetal.” His voice was low and rough and Ed had to crouch down just to hear him. “Get out.”

Story under the cut!

RoyEd Gift Exchange 2017!

We’re back for another, awesome third year, and this time I actually have a blog.  Amazing.

Here’s the deal!

Starting today, you can sign up to give and receive fanworks, including gifsets, fanart, graphics, fanfiction, fanvids, etc. for the holiday season!

How do I sign up?

Just fill out this form!  Please answer everything, as we need it to pair people up.  Email, age, and “pinch hitter” status will be kept strictly confidential.

Second of all, it would be greatly appreciated if you could give this post a signal boost!  Ours is a smaller fandom, and I’d really love it if we could reach as many people as possible to make this awesome.

How does the exchange work?

Signups run from now until November 12.  I will spend the next week or so confirming that everyone registered is still participating, pairing up assignments, then send out the assignments via email.

The gift exchange will be the dates December 25th-January 1st, just like last year!  Whenever you’d like to post them during this time period, please do.   This is to give some flexibility for massively different timezones, and the fact that the season is very busy for some people.

Please spend some time on these gifts!  Though we don’t have a word/detail/color/song/etc. count, remember that everyone else will be working hard—you wouldn’t like to spend hours on a piece of art only to receive a hundred word fic if you were hoping for something lengthier (if someone requests flash fic, of course, that’s totally fine!).  1000 words is a good idea for a fic minimum, though the rest of the categories are rather nebulous.  Please use your best judgement.

I will also send out confirmation emails before I set up the assignments.  Please make sure to reply.

About one week before the deadline, I will be emailing everyone to make sure that they will be able to finish their gifts.  If I do not hear back within 48 hours, I will assign a pinch hitter to be sure that everyone receives a gift.

Please keep these gifts anonymous until the reveal week, December 25th-January 1st. If you want to send little snippets of fic or hints of art to your recipient (anonymously!) before the reveal date, feel free, but do not reveal your identity until the posting week.

Once the week rolls around, post your gift!  You can tag it #RoyEd Gift Exchange 2017.  This is different than last year’s tag!  Make sure to take note of it!  Be sure to send them an ask letting them know where it is, if not on tumblr—youtube, DeviantArt, AO3, etc.  I’ll be creating a collection on AO3 for fanfic and reblogging all gifts!

Content Rules:

Minors will not be permitted to give or receive NSFW works.  If you create NSFW work for this exchange, ensure that any spicy bits are underneath a cut, so we are able to reblog.

Be respectful of your partner’s dislikes.  Try to avoid anything that’s too much of a niche enjoyment (such as threesomes, infidelity, any major archive warnings, extreme angst, etc.) unless your partner requests such.

When posting, ensure that all common triggers and content warnings are tagged for.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask or check out my tag on the event, and thank you for participating!

Hey guys, I realized I slipped up here!  The last couple of years I’ve sent out tumblr ask confirmations; this year I’m going to be sending out emails.  This is the most recent post and the accurate one.  Sorry about that!

[fmasecretsanta-blog]

Hello, Fullmetal Alchemist fans, and happy holidays!!! To spread some much-needed holiday cheer throughout this fandom, we would like to announce the first annual FMA Secret Santa! (At least, the first run by us. You can call us, the mods, Bex and Very, and we’re at your service!)

“Secret Santa? What??” We’re glad you asked. This is a gift exchange for content creators in the FMA fandom. Participants sign up by filling out this form; then, we, the mods, will use your responses to assign you both a Santa—who will create something for you—and a recipient, who you are responsible for.

Your job, with the information we will then give you, is to create a gift for this person! This can be anything: a fic, a piece of fanart, a graphic, etc.!

Then, around holiday time, you’ll post your gifts, reveal yourselves, and we’ll reblog all your wonderful content here for the whole fandom to see!

For more information, check out our ABOUT page, and please take care to read our RULES to make sure this stays fun for everybody.

Signups close NOVEMBER 6, so DON’T DELAY!

[royedgiftexchange]

Also, just a heads up!

Once you sign up for the Exchange, you should receive a confirmation email within 24 hours from me to confirm that I have your correct email address, etc.

If you don’t receive this email, your sign-up didn’t go through, so please let me know ASAP!
