Fic Synopsis: The Peace That Pain Has Made
I currently have nine (9) Fullmetal Alchemist Roy/Ed fic in my WIP. As someone who only started writing in the last month, this is ridiculous. But I can't get the ideas out of my head!
In total, I have two (2) Time Travel fic, three (3) PWP's that - per my madness and against my will - gained fucking plot (pun intended), and another four (4) non-PWP plotfic.
The Peace That Pain Has Made - Plotfic
Two years Post Promised Day. Ed just turned 18.
General Mustang is out of the country doing diplomatic work and Ed is stumping around Roy's house while on medical leave. Ed finds out Gracia Hughes has been killed in a car accident and Elysia taken by child services more than a week ago. He's stonewalled at every turn when he tries to find out where she was placed. He's not family, so he has no legal right to that information.
Not willing to let Elysia be left alone with strangers, Ed proceeds to prove he's learned manipulation at the feet of a master. Forges Roy's name on a marriage certificate, bribes a justice of the peace to claim he married them - back dating it to before Promised Day (with the thought he could claim to want Roy to take custody of Al if something happened to him) - steals the paperwork declaring Roy godfather with both Gracia and Maes's signature from Roy's personal files, and marches into a JAG office so he could demand temporary custody until such time his "husband" returns to Amestris.
After several months out of contact with Amestris and feeling good about the work he's just done, Roy returns to everyone eyeing him and whispering behind his back. He would like to think people are just impressed with his work but he knows better. Is a little concerned about what could have caused this change.
Roy arrives home to find he has a husband he didn't marry and shared custody of a daughter he didn't adopt. His house has been altered so the guest room is now a nursery and everyone he knows thinks he got married to a 15 year old. The rumors are extensive. Everyone is calling him a cradle snatcher. (His mother just laughs at him when he complains because he is.)
Story about them trying to help Elysia through the grief of losing both her parents so young as two men who did the same and reacted badly to the loss. All the while navigating being "out" as the youngest General in history and his scandalously young lover/subordinate whom he apparently married.
Might be a sequel to Fruit From Questionable Seeds. Is definitely the prequel to Silk Flowers.
