I stood on a little island, barely big enough to fit me, and I was surrounded by sky blue water, as if the sky itself had come down around me. I sat and reached in the water, feeling its warmth and stillness made me feel at ease. The stillness and peace was interrupted by a ripple that came from the other side of the body of water, I stayed sitting and looked as far as I could see; there he was, holding his long Scythe with the spine and skull of some unnamed creature. He came to me, followed wherever I went, we had conversations without either of us speaking. (This was inspired by the Undertaker actually showing up in the dreams I had, but I'm going to make it an actual story, not a dream journal. The character is me, nothing I felt in the real dreams will be changed in here. Everything else is purely fictional for the story's sake.)

When Solf Kimblee was called in to eliminate Ishvalans in the war, he excpected to cause a lot of destruction, he expected them to fight back and he expected people would fear him. The non-alchemists anyway. What he didn't expect was to meet a non-alchemist who wasn't afraid of him. In fact, the military girl seemed to try and get close to him, sometimes she was even friendly.

The reader is having a hard day, struggling with insecurities and dangerous self-hating thoughts. Lucio doesn't notice at first but by the time he does, he's too busy to do anything about it. You sneak away to a place you created for yourself and hide there for a long time, wallowing in the pain and fears.

Just a short story of Edward and Envy, where Edward lets his anger and sadistic feelings out, and Envy realizes the truth of the situation. Almost AU where it's just the two of them and Edward isn't a sacrifice so he's not important to Father. (Not a romance and chapters will be "uneven" in length)
