edwin wizarding world aus
Winry’s a machine junkie living in the non-wizarding world, and she’s really good with her hands--magically good, even. Her magic is used for healing even if she doesn’t realize it. She spends most of her days working in her grandmother’s shop, building automail and fixing things, not really paying attention to how she can sometimes make things...appear or move with little more than a thought.
Ed is an extremely talented wizard whose specialty lies in alchemy and potion-making, self-taught skills he began when he was a child. His early discovery of his powers led to him completing basic wizarding schooling by the age of eleven. He’s spent most of his young life afterwards devoted to his research, travelling constantly to expand his knowledge. He’s in search of something many wizards don’t believe exists.
They meet when Edward is in her hometown looking for the remnants of some valuable alchemical research that belonged to an alchemist who once lived there some decades earlier. A rainstorm hits just as Edward is making his way to the alchemist’s abandoned house, forcing him to seek shelter at a yellow house not far from it, where he meets a tiny old woman who looks at him as if she’s seen a ghost and a young blonde woman who might have just unwittingly left a wrench floating by her hand for all of a second before it lands back on the table she’s sitting at...

au where ed quits hogwarts when he finds out that nicholas flamel is in fact, a real person, and his research is out there, so he and al go on a quest to find him to find a way to restore their bodies to normal after a traumatic magical incident. winry drops out, too, though she continues to learn medical magic from granny and they operate a small clinic in resembool. a new gang of baddies (the homunculi) following a voldemort-like super baddie (father) come into the picture and are after flamel too, and ed gets beat up trying to beat them up and has to come home to be healed after encounters with them. (ed never bothered to learn anything about first-aid medical magic nor has he ever cared to carry healing potions and besides, he’d never admit it to anyone but winry’s always been the best healer he’s ever met)
