Unwillingly forced to serve as a human trial for a crazy alchemist experimenting with time travel, Edward Elric finds himself standing across from Truth in the moment it takes his leg from him. Armed with the knowledge of what’s to come and burdened with guilt for the choices he’d made as an adult, Ed sets out to fix every mistake he ever made and save every life they ever lost, no matter what it takes.

It gets a little too romancy at times for my taste, but honestly solid writing. And goes in a pretty divergent path. Which is my preference for time travel fic tbh. What’s the point in going back in time if you’re not going to change anything?

“You’ve heard the rumors,” Mustang says, looking at Ed over the top of his latest report, “about the angels.”

Ed scoffs and rolls his eyes, “Angels don’t exist, don’t be ridiculous.”

“Of course, of course,” he murmurs, gaze sliding back down, “There have been multiple eye witness accounts, however.”

Ed slouches into the chair and doesn’t bother to keep the contempt to from his voice when he says, “Don’t depend on anything with wings to save you. Things that were made to leave always end up doing so, in the end.”

“Yes, well,” he says, “sometimes they come back.”

Every time Edward sees the circle on the back Mustang’s hand, he wants to scream, wants to reach across the desk and shake him, wants to wrap his hands around the older man’s throat and ask if it was worth it, if this desk and his rank is worth the screaming, crying, writhing, burning bodies of his people -

“Something to say, Fullmetal?” Mustang drawls.

Edward snaps the file shut, “Nope.”

She took pictures, all of them she could see, family, friends, silly baby pictures, and some she had never seen before, some from Ishval. One was of two young children, and she could make out Amestrian military uniforms in the backdrop. It must have been during the 1900-1902 period when Amestrian soldiers were in Ishval. She looked behind to see Trisha’s handwriting, something she hadn’t seen in so many years. Behind the photograph was written ‘Rida and Noor, Farah, summer of 1902’.
