🕰️ Natura Umbilicus by liketolaugh (@liketolaugh-writes)
People always assume that because Ed isn't religious, he doesn't believe in a higher power. He supposes it's a fair assumption, because that's how it goes with most alchemists; scientific minds don't usually like the wishy-washy nature of miracles and faith and unseen beings. They believe in atoms and molecules and the ever-elusive natural providence.
But Ed does believe in a higher power; he's met it, and its name is equivalent exchange. Nothing wishy-washy about that.
🕰️ lightning's earthen cradle (love me like it burns) by mossopossum
Ed's automail becomes damaged, and the team realizes how painful this actually is for Ed. Plus parental Roy!
🕰️ melting ice cubes in your hands by mossopossum
Roy has a bad day, so when Edward is protesting attending a mission in the north, he assumes it to be petulance. An argument ensues, Roy says things he shouldn't, and subsequently he ends up scrambling to keep Edward from freezing to death by the Drachman border.
🕰️ the question “why?” and the word “please” by BeyondTheClouds777
Roy and Ed are taken hostage, and Roy will do whatever to keep Ed alive
🕰️ Hitting You or Kicking You by BeyondTheClouds777
Sickfic where Roy escorts Edward to Risembool for maintenance
🕰️ A Good Soldier Always Follows Orders by boredom
It's one thing to know and understand a good soldier always follows orders. It's another thing when Ed has figure out a way to not get burned by his commanding officer
🕰️ radix malorum est cupiditas by Anonymous
Alphonse turns to him with a nervous, small smile, and Ed, despite his wobbly mouth, pounds a fist against his puffed out chest, and shows his teeth.
“Don’t worry,” he says. I’ll protect you, he keeps to himself. “There’s no way this’ll mess up! It’s pretty simple stuff, anyways.”
Edward has a nightmare that he'll never wake up from.
🕰️ what the water gave me by Spineless
One rainy day after a mission, Ed's automail gets infected and gives him strife. Luckily, he is surrounded by many exasperated people who care deeply for him.
🕰️ Home is a Feeling by RejectsCanon (@rejectscanon)
Edward Elric and his feelings about the concept of 'home'.
🕰️ talks like a gentleman by astrolesbian
Relax,” the intruder says. “It’s just me.”
Ed gets a better look, and sees a black ponytail and a sharp jaw, then looks away again, cheeks hot as he sits back down and starts hunting for another rock to throw. “Yeah,” he says. “Which you is that, exactly?”
“Don’t be a dick,” he answers, and sits down next to him, cross-legged and casual, starting to sift around in the sand for his own stone. Ed makes an educated guess.
“Ling?” he asks. It comes out quieter than he’d meant it, more hopeful. Ling smiles in that sun-bright way he has, and Ed’s heart stutters. Stupid, stupid.

Basically every fic here is worth reading. I love the themes explored, the chain’s dynamics and development throughout the series, and how lore is connected!
✨ willow bark and chamomile by schrodingers__cat
Any fic about dreams and Legend are always interesting to me, and the fact that Legend knows how to wake people up is *chefs kiss*
✨ Concatenation by notfreyja (@not-freyja)
You probably recognize this as This is an Adjuration, which is the main fic in the series. Usually I’m not a fan of time travel or time loops (ironic considering the franchise) but the way Freyja handles the timeline here is amazing! I love this work so much not to mention it
✨ the primordials by rebornofstars
Very funny fic because there's a huge misunderstanding where everyone thinks Time is a god and Time thinks everyone in the chain are gods. They're all idiots and I love them <3

Sonadow where they meet multiple times
🦔 As My World Falls Apart by sarcasticism (@thesarcasticism)
This fic is a very emotional read, and the way Sonic’s memory loss progresses is very similar to Alzheimer’s (just a cw for anyone sensitive to this)

Author and Lancelot are reincarnated, and its only after seeing a mysterious portrait that Sonic and Shadow start having senses of deja vu to this possible past life

This is my favorite trans!Link fic <3 Set in BOTW, it focuses on gender exploration and trans acceptance, and it means everything to me :3

A 2-part series on MaLink post OOT/MM. I would consider these a character study and how their relationship is portrayed is beautiful

RavioLi but they’re both idiots in love 💕
✨ Not Like You by HylianHarmony
Love fics where they explore Wind's confidence as a hero, seeing he's younger and technically wasn't chosen by destiny or the gods to be a hero. He feels the need to prove himself just because he's "different"
