Summary
Equivalent exchange is the principle that to gain something, one must lose something of equal value. In life, Equivalent Exchange is always present, acting as the first law of life. If Ed thought back on it, it seemed rather in line with that sentiment that when his brother breathed his first, his mother began to breathe her last.

Summary
Roy Mustang had a plan. It would take him up the ranks and to the position of Fuhrer where he could finally do the most good. Everything had been going well.
And then he found a little boy who needed his help more than the country did.
Adoption hadn't really been in his plans. But plans changed.
At least Riza would still have his back. He was going to need all the help he could get.- Language:

Summary
Post-promised day life for 22-year-old Edward is amazing. He’s married to Winry, has two kids named after Maes and Nina, and even though he kept his automail, he’s never been happier. When his CO calls him in to meet some strange man -he thinks the name is Bumblebee?- and gets him hired at a magic school to teach self-defense and alchemy, Ed thinks that this is when the peace finally ends.
Harry finds himself getting more worried for his fourth year of school. After the events at the Quidditch World Cup, which was just the other day, he can’t help but wonder if You-Know-Who is really coming back. There are two new professors, one insisting that they need to learn about the Unforgivable Curses while being paranoid over every little mishap and the other taking things slow and having them learn the Periodic Table of all things.
Oh, and the tri-wizard tournament is happening this year and Harry's competing. No big deal, right?

Summary
"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware."
Harry didn't think anything could top the trouble his first year at Hogwarts brought, but the second seemed determined to do just that, with a mysterious chamber and a threat a half-century in the making rearing its head once more.
One singular Slytherin offers his aid in their quest for the truth, but the further they search, the further away the answers seem.
And why does Ling Yao seem more two-faced than ever before?
Featuring:
- Ernie Macmillan the world's most almost-correct conspiracy theorist
- Damn Harry's got like actual PTSD from watching Ed almost die right in front of him
- No one likes Gilderoy except for Gilderoy
- Ed punches Malfoy in the face (not in the segment you're probably expecting)
- Cameo from Best Dad
- Greed violates the Roommate Agreement™Series

Summary
Eight years can make a lot of difference.
Edward Elric, youngest State Alchemist in history, is 15 when Executive Order 3066 takes effect, turning a civil war into genocide.
All State Alchemists are to serve at the front lines of Ishval and kill indiscriminately, humans turned weapons.
--
Ed shields his eyes against the blazing desert sun of Ishval and tries to ignore the way his white glove is stained red, pretends it’s oil instead of blood.
There is a wave of heat from somewhere to his right and up ahead, yards away but unnaturally strong, and the wind carries with it screams and the smell of burning flesh.
A shot echoes through the stillness of the high noon, and he counts to five in his head. Another shot.

Bodies and gates connected, intertwined. If Ed could support Al's body trapped in the desolate void known simply as Truth's domain, then should the opposite not therefore be true?
Years pass, time eluding him as he tries again and again to return to his home.

Accidently wrote two completely different versions branching from the same snippet, so both this fic and another fic start with the same first chapter but branch out into two wildly different things.

Summary
Edward Elric would die before he was thirty, of that he was sure. It had been seven years since he came to that conclusion—he'd sold his soul and made a deal with the devil to preserve someone else's life. Yet as his borrowed time ran out, Edward realized he'd do it all again. If this were the personal hell he'd been allotted, he'd live it a thousand times over to save Al's life. Because Al was his little brother, and he was all Edward had left.
or
After escaping Germany in 1916, Edward goes against everything he once thought he knew and becomes a criminal to protect and provide for Alphonse. Seven years later, he gets caught up in a string of murders after foolishly attending university. The deeper he gets, Edward's web of lies comes crashing down, because a life built on spider silk can never last.Bookmarked by ReadingBrainless

Summary
The boy came forward, he was much older than a first year, Sirius’ age surely. His free-falling yellow hair fell limp against his empty eyes. His posture was tall but robotic and it took everything in him to take those steps towards the front. There was a sense of defeat, a bone-crushing, logic-defying depression. There wasn’t even a cry for help in those eyes, help wasn’t wanted.
“Regulus.” Sirius breathed.
“Edward Elric” McGonagall called.
Al sacrificed himself in order to help Ed defeat Father. Edward could not get his brother back, no matter what he offered Truth. Concerned for his wellbeing, Roy decides to send Ed far away from Amestris; Joining Hogwarts as a fifth year student. In Ed's Year group he meets a certain four people; Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs. Follow Ed throughout the years in Hogwarts and into the First Wizarding War with Voldemort.
