New recs are at the bottom of each series.

Some of these are R/NC-17 by the way. If it is labeled as such, that means there's sex! So read at your own discretion.

Fullmetal Alchemist Recs

Situation Normal
by Sleeps With Coyotes
Roy/Ed, Al/Winry

Such a lovely fic. And as swiped from the lj post, the 'best hagaren relationship fic ever!'. If I could, I would add more exclamation marks it's so good. It's a jewel in the rough really, considering the drivel that most people spew out for this fandom. Not many good fics at all for FMA. *sulks* Clueless!Ed all around. ^_^ It takes place a few years into the future when Ed is 17 years old and has no idea why everyone who talks to him starts babbling nonsense or stuttering. *snerk* As I said, clueless.

Under Cover
by Branch
crossdressing Ed

Be afraid, be very afraid. *ebil cackle* >3 ph3ar t3h smilez!! Ed needs to go undercover and Roy helps. Except the costume isn't exactly what the chibi alchemist had in mind.

Circumstances Arc
by Branch
Roy/Ed, NC-17

Pretty cool series although I don't really agree with some of the characterizations. But considering the quality of the other FMA fics, it's good. The writing is solid, just not really with the characterizations. The comparisons between birds is pretty cool. Link leads to site since there are several fics under this arc and it would have been annoying to link them all.

Altered States I: Albedo
Altered States II: Citrinitas
Altered States III: Rubedo
by Sleeps With Coyotes
Roy/Ed, NC-17

There are truly no words to describe this except for 'wow' and even then it's an extreme understatement. After much research and toil, Ed has finally figured out a possible way to create the Philosopher's stone. This is a highly recommended fic for all FMA fans. ^_^

After Arc
by Branch
Roy/Ed, NC-17

Has anyone noticed a pattern yet? *looks around* Yea well, reason why the authors are repeated so often is that I write the recs as soon as I finish reading it. =_=;; Seems a bit easier than hunting them down, ne? Right now, she just has one of the arcs written, but it's still good! Al regains his body, but not Ed. When they return to Central, Winry comes along and Roy takes Ed under his wing once again. Ugh, I'm bad at summary type things. Just read. -_-;;

Knowledge
by WhiteCat
Roy/Ed?Ed/Roy?, NC-17

Short fic, but quite nice. After dinner with the Hughes, Roy is left with some things he'd rather not think about.

Find the Moon
by Sol 1056
gen

A rather bizarre crossover but it works! GW/FMA crossover. While working on a piece of machinery, Duo is transposed to a world where not only does he not understand the language, weird creatures attack him and there are such things as walking/talking suits of amour.

Shadow of Desire
by Sol 1056 (Zefyr on ff.net)
gen

What is it about this fandom that induces so many good fics!? XD I previously rec'ed another fic by the same author called Find the Moon, which is a FMA/GW x-over. Despite the infamous reputation of GW x-overs, it's actually a good fic. XD This is the first of 3 fics this author intends to write. The first two are gen, the last is supposed to end up Roy/Ed. General Roy Mustang is sent to investigate the disappearance of two alchemists. Fullmetal manages to squirm his way into accompanying him as well. With rebellion sparking on the horizon, the mission may hold more danger than it seems.

Family Man
by Jaelle
gen

OMFG!! *falls over cackling* Very short ficlet but worth a thousand laughs. Roy taunts, Ed gets revenge.

Housewarming
by Harukami and WhiteCat
Roy/Ed, NC-17

The interaction between Roy and Ed is in character. Throw that in with solid writing for 2 great authors and you get a wonderful fic. Authors' summary: In which Roy and Ed rather reluctantly attend a State Alchemist ball, and after, return to a place which isn't quite 'home'.

First Thing
by Azremodehar
Roy/Ed

Just one of those fics that hit you in all the right places with the characterization and the interaction. Short, sweet and a nice read. After a celebration of Edward's 18th birthday in a bar, Fullmetal wakes up in an unfamiliar bed and a killer headache.

Fullmetal Alchemist
The Hairbrush
by cneko2
Roy/Ed

Just a cute little ficlet. Edward is showing signs of stress and Roy helps relieve him of it through a thorough hair brushing.

And Home Once More
by WhiteCat
gen

AU. Good FMA fic is starting to get hard to come by but good writers generally put out consistent good works. Even their supposed 'bad works' are better than the drivel untalented writers come up with. Mustang has finally made Fuhrer and is asked to return to Central to accept a new assignment from the newly risen leader.
