RoyEd Week 2026

We’re throwing our own RoyEd week this year and we’re keeping the formatting the same as previous versions of the event, just moving our event to May.

But worry not! @royedweek2023 will also be hosting their own event so there’s plenty of opportunity to participate!

As always, any type of creation is welcome (art, fic, podfic, song, etc) and how you participate is entirely up to you! Combine prompts, skip a day or three, create multiple things per day— the choice is yours! All we ask is that you have fun and don’t use gen-AI in your creations. 💕

Please use the event tag #feroyedweek2026 and we will be posting the AO3 collection once the week is upon us!

Chapter 6: The Axe Remembers

Summary: The first hour or so of the demonstration is boring. They park themselves around the naval base, a respectful few paces from the fence. Cadets and soldiers eye them from the other side of the barrier and law enforcement skulks at the edges of the crowd. Ed is wandering around with a ‘press’ sign strung to his front and slapped on his backpack, further back so he can take in the whole scene. The protesters clump together, unfocused and unclear in their intent, carrying their banners and chanting slogans so overused and tired that Ed blocks them out by default.

There are, however, a lot of them.

Chapter 5: Nobody’s Listening

Summary: Two missions later, Ed is woken in the early morning by someone banging on their door.

He’s up and reaching for a blaster before he’s fully conscious. He throws his door open, Al seconds behind him as they both spill into the living room. Ed grabs his brother by the shoulder and they both stop, listening to the pattern being rapped out on metal.

Chapter 4: I Have Friends Everywhere

Summary: Ed is going to blow up a pipeline. Ed is going to blow up a pipeline or Roth’s rebel cell, whichever comes first.

Orbital Decay

Chapter 3: One Way Out

Summary:

Ed swings himself up off the nice—yet entirely personality-less—couch once he accepts the call.

“Edward,” Roy greets him, his voice nestled in Ed’s ear. “I heard the party went well.”

“We all got disgustingly drunk, you mean,” Ed reaches out to close the book and puts it, gently, back on the coffee table.

chapter blurb:

"I saw the skulls and knew I had to get them. It's frozen lemonade." Roy looked down at their haul of food, frowning in confusion. "I expected to see at least a small dent in this by now."

Rubbing at the back of his neck as he felt his cheeks warm, Ed shook his head and toyed with his straw. "Trying everything together's the whole point. S'no fun doin' it alone. And dates are supposed to be fun, right?"

RoyEd Week 2025 - Day 7: Free day

Royed Week, Day Six! Have some space pioneers.

Roy swears under his breath and starts heaving. Ed is no light weight with two limbs made of metal and an entire terrasuit, missing glove notwithstanding. Maybe what they say about adrenaline is true, though, because Roy manages to yank him up and over his shoulder, and then he stands and starts staggering back towards the airlock with Ed secured neatly like a sack of spare parts. “Why?” Ed asks. “You know why, Ed,” Roy says.

RoyEd Week Day 6 - Wild West AU

Orbital Decay

Chapter one: Welcome to the Rebellion

Summary: He has nightmares about his own death, sometimes. It’s never about the moment itself, the final sizzling heat of a blaster bolt or overwhelming, crushing pain. It’s about Al—sitting alone in one of his tiny little apartments that only contain the personal items Al can’t dare leave behind—waiting for his return. His slow realisation that Ed isn’t coming back. Roy or Riza coming to deliver the news. Absently, Ed has spent a lot of time wondering whether Roy will be able to face his brother the day he learns that Ed has died for his cause. Roy’s probably thought about it, too.

Or: Roy and Ed are Rebels in a harsh galaxy. This makes some things harder than they should be.
