Ed stays under Royâs command post Promised Day. Itâs the end of the work day and Roy is about to leave the office, but before he does, he turns on his heels and addresses his team:
âOh! A reminder before I leave: you all should be receiving your invitations shortly, at your places of residence. Iâve been blessed to find not only commendable colleagues, but also good friends in each and every one of you. Having you attend would be our greatest honor.â
Everyone is so lost, and Edâs finally like, âWhat the fuck are you talking about? Attend what? Your fucking funeral?â
Roy blinks with confusion. âWell⌠my wedding, of course.â
The group lets out a collective, âYOUR WHAT?!â
Roy gives them a cheery wave. âI should be off then! Tatiana is waiting for me! Have a good evening!âÂ
Roy is getting married in a week, and the whole team didnât know that Roy was in a relationship, nevermind that he was engaged (to this well-connected politicianâs daughter). The rest of Team Mustang was initially shocked, but they quickly come around and are happy for the couple. Meanwhile, Ed has secretly had feelings for Roy for years, and all of this is just driving him crazy. Heâs following Roy around during work hours, ranting and asking, âDo you even know this woman?! Has she actually met you? Is she aware of how annoying you are? Does she know that you take your coffee with two sugars and milk, like some freak of nature?â
âIf I didnât know any better, Iâd say youâre jealous,â Roy jokes.
Which Edward quickly denies. Roy doesnât have a bachelor party, but Edward still drinks himself silly, and shows up to the wedding ceremony drunk (heâs a sad drunk). But it turns out that this was all a hoax. The wedding was a sting operation- a plot to lure and apprehend enemies of the state, which Ed would have known if only he read in the information detailed on the fake âwedding invitationâ. There ends up being a shootout during the ceremony, and Roy gets shot in the arm (just a graze). He ends up hiding with drunk Ed on the floor between the pews.Â
Edward sobs. âIâm s-sorry you got shot, General⌠Your s-suit looked so good ân so expensive..."
âTHATâS WHAT YOUâRE CONCERNED ABOUT!?â
âDonât⌠donât yell aâ meâŚâ Ed softly cries.
Roy drinks from Edâs flask of whiskey and still seems to be in good spirits. He once again jokes that Edward seems jealous.
âFor the-â Hiccup! ââundredth time, Iâm not jealous! All I wanted was for you to be happy!â he shouts. All this time, Ed was worried that Roy was just getting married due to societal pressure. âI jusâ love you so muchâŚ" Edward drunkenly slaps a hand over his own mouth. "Oh no! I âope I âavenât ruined everythingâŚâ
I donât know what happens next, but I think Roy kisses him (he's had feelings for Ed for a while), and then Roy puts a ring on it (the rings are right there after all). Afterward, he uses his good arm to hold Edâs hair back as he pukes in a bush.
Thereâs some party at HQ and everyone has to help out- originally Ed was going to have to walk around handing out hâors dâoeuvres or something but at the last minute he got roped into the band đ and he had to dress up in full formal military dress bc itâs a fancy party with dignitaries and ambassadors and stuff đ Roy is at a loss for words lol

Also one of them proposes to a near-stranger who he's seen a handful of times in the last five years (with no chemistry besides him wanting to marry her as very young boy) and then ditches her for a few years to travel the world.
Omg wait yeah- did brotherhood!Ed pull a Hohenheim basically?
People joke about fmab!Ed dressing like Hohenheim at the end but omg even down to the âleaving your wifeâ part! Technically we donât if he left her at all AFTER getting married and having kids butâŚ. For Ed to be someone who always made digs at Hohenheim for not being there for their family that sure is something
There isn't time, was what Roy had been thinking. If he'd been thinking at all. Blackout violence isn't his fortĂŠ, but Ed screamed, and Roy snapped. Pun ruefully intended.
Now there's a mess, and consequences, and complications, and the look on Ed's face. But the kid needing repairs instead of a body bag is all the vindication Roy needs. The rest can be fixed.

i was explaining why i like ed in 03 way more than in fmab to my gf and it could be summarized by the fact that way more people tell ed to stfu in 03 and since my first impression of ed as a character was annoyance and hatred (i dont like arrogant im so smart and cynical and thus right about everything rude teen white boyz sorryâill happily take my tempermental teen boys with parental issues any day tho), so it satisfies and endears me to have the series acknowledge the flaws i couldnt stand and have them be a point of development vs in fmab where he just kindaâŚstays the same and is right about everything.
and then i pointed out how in 03 ed admits to racial bias and how its hard to get away from so we have to expose ourselves and find our own answers and gets put in his place for lecturing a war veteran about his own trauma and what he should do about it, while the fmab equivalent of those two scenes had ed essentially say all lives matter and who cares about your racial genocide when i was inconvenienced as a kid and praised for being so morally correct for lecturing two war veterans on their own trauma and what they should do about it
the all lives matter scene is interesting because its framed like ed is so galaxy brained and ballsy to respond to milesâ âyeah im an ishvallan and i should hate you for genociding my race huhâ with âyeah well your conflict had a really bad impact on my town growing up cause we were so close to you guysâ like no???? ed youre not being smart. thats a HORRIBLE rebuttal. his point is basically âsee how this conflict is stupid and we should all just Not See Color?â BUT IT DOESNT FUCKING WORK ITS ACTUALLY REALLY FUCKING IGNORANT AND STUPID
and then him lecturing two war veterans who were tortured and experimented on on not giving up on their dreams, while yeah even though it thematically fits with fmab, is also just really fucking ignorant even in the context of fmabâs message. what right do you have ed? and when you compare it to the scene in 03 where ed essentially does the same thing to an amputee the war veteran essentially tells him he doesnt know what heâs talking about because heâs a kid who didnât experience what he did and so doesnât understand what he lost and gained from it. yeah ed bites back with his own âwell you dont know what ive been through eitherâ which is sympathetic and we understand of course but heâs still framed as exactly what he is in that scene. a lost kid in an adults world in over his head. that part i can get is just a difference in tone, and fmab ed is welcome to be an escapist good guy hero who is cool and smart and one to look up to, but those two examples really take that (totally equally valid) style of protagonist way too far.
ok and i know ppl would argue that ed does grow, with him giving up alchemy at the end being the ending of his development, and thats true. he learns to rely on other people and that hes not god and his relationships are more important than absolute power and knowledge. thats a great arc, i just find it a lot smaller and less developed in comparison. and besides that, ed is generally framed as being right about everything else. like his development was stalled at almost just. the transmutation in the beginning, and between that point and point b heâs pretty much always the moral center. and again, thats not bad, i just dont like it when his moral center is the two things above. moments like those seem like the logical character progression would be to call ed out on his naive idealism, like 03 ed is.
The two series treat idealism differently, to branch off a bit here. Both say its good, but fmab has a much more black and white view of it, ignoring where that idealism comes across as ignorance. 03 ed is just as idealistic but retains his idealism with newfound knowledge and experience of how the world really works. Its âmy idealism is good and the world should follow regardless of how it works because my idea of how the world should be is right and justâ vs âmy idealism is a choice i make in the face of how the world is because its the kind of world i wanna believe is possible.â the former is really childish and reminds me of internet purity culture and the latter is what being a healthy and optimistic adult is
thank you for bringing this post into my notifs cause another thing to add is that ed in 03 is just objectively more developed by sheer nature of the series, so even if i may be harsher on fmab ed than warranted (which i donât think i am), itâs just ingrained in the respective shows that ed (and al) are more developed. fma 03 was made with the intention of branching away from the manga and focusing in more on the elrics, while fmabâs point was to focus outward on a growing cast of characters and world. So me saying âi think 03 ed is a better characterâ isnt a point AGAINST brotherhood in quality, itâs just an aspect that makes me personally prefer 03 to fmab, because I prefer smaller intimate character and psychological driven stories than grand epic tales with tons of characters (both are good, i would just pick one over the other)
Tldr i think by nature of the series, ed in 03 is objectively a more fleshed out and interesting character than in fmab, which is why i prefer 03 and edâs character in 03 so much over fmab. but even tho i have my problems with fmab, its not something that im saying to insult fmab or imply that itâs worse. it just takes a different direction than 03 with its characters and this is intentional (or rather i should say 03 takes an intentionally different direction than mangahood). 03 writers INTENDED to make ed a more interesting and human character
when i say ed and alâs relationship is fucked (but not unsalvageable) post cosâŚ.oh boy.
al did not have his memories before he crossed the gate, and did not have all the information before he decided to leave everything he knows and loves behind to follow ed into the other world where heâll be forever cut off from friends and family and doesnât even have alchemy to fall back on
and now because of this, he has no choice but to rely on ed. they HAVE to be a team if they want to survive. so any unresolved tension canât tear them apart
and does al resent this? does he ever regret following ed? he jumped in the portal when he had the mind of a naive 13 year old, so what does the mind of a 17 year old al think? there are probably lots of moments in their lives as they go through hard times where al says or at least implies heâd have been better off staying in amestris, and ed just agrees, and gets mad at him for following him in the first place
and al also went from a year younger than ed, to about 6/7. thatâs a very different dynamic. and even if al has 17 years experience, just like he was emotionally stunted to be 10 in the armor, i imagine heâd be emotionally stunted at the physical age of 13 as well. but with 17 years of trauma
and remember where al left off before he lost his memories. survivors guilt, anger, self loathingâall that is going to be even worse with what happened in CoS. a lot of blood was on alâs hands (from his perspective) in the movie. we also left him with independence from and frustration with ed
and ed also has to take care of al more than he ever did cause now al is a child while ed is an adult, and al needs to sleep and eat now, so ed really has to be an adult. ed is also not in a good position with a 1920s leg prosthetic and an automail arm with no mechanic.
i donât see them ever agreeing on sloth. even if their close bond and codependency keeps them together, i think it will always be a wedge between them. to al, ed killed their mom, and ed canât say anything to convince him it was the right thing to do or that it wasnât really their mom. and ed went behind alâs back to do it.
but regardless theyâre still a team and always will be one. things between them would just be a lot more rocky.
homunculi being failed human transmutations was the most baller story change decision the fma03 team made and they milked the hell out of that concept. you got the theme of what makes you human (memories? presence of a soul? what does that even mean?) that ties in with alâs identity crisis (that didnât really make sense in mangahood but was built up and thematically rich in 03), you got the drama of alchemists having to face a distorted version of the loved one they tried to bring back (the best version of Came Back Wrong ive ever seen), you got the concept that a person is so much more than just your own idea of them and bringing them back through human transmutation really only brings back a one-dimensional version of them (how each homunculus was only really the version of that person the alchemist had in their head, and not a full person themselves, and each reacted to this fact differently), you get the existential crisis all of this gives you when you consider what makes you YOU and how do you prove your own humanity and memories and identity, you get the characters of the homunculi like envy and lust who were given so much more depth than their mangahood counterparts, and AAAAAAA its just so good and if we can give fma 03 ANYTHING thatâs objectively better/more interesting than mangahoodâs plot (which i normally say is overall objectively a better written and more cohesive story) i 100% believe its this change from the manga
Oh and obviously i have bring this up again but the ethical dilemma of ed vs al. Ed says âwe made this homunculus we have to destroy itâ and al says âexactly, we created it, its mom, and we have to take care of herâ because which is more ethical? is it really their âmom?â Does it matter if its really âmomâ or not, because she has their momâs memories, was created to be their âmomâ so is killing her the right thing to do? ed says yes, because of the Came Back Wrong conceptâŚits more cruel to let her live as a distorted version of the real thing who only feels whatâs missing (her humanity) (but maybe ed just doesnt want to face his failure anymore and would rather destroy it). Al says no, because sheâs still a living thing with thoughts and feelings (but maybe al is just so desperate to have his mom back that heâll accept a one-dimensional, empty version of her that wants to kill him). Its so complicated and i AAAAAAAA
