The City Under Central (Edward Elric x Reader) by jungquoke

You and the Elric Brothers were great friends when you were younger. But after they attempted human transmutation, they burned their house down and left to recover what they lost. Although you missed them dearly, you knew it was better to support them from afar. Now, after many years apart from them, you find a chance to see them again. The rebellion in Lior. You were desperate to speak to them, especially Ed, but not long after the two of you reunite, you disappear. There's only one place Ed will find you. In the city under Central. Based off the 2003 anime, not Brotherhood (it's not going to have the same ending, don't worry). CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT COMPLETELY LIKE THE ANIME. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Our Alchemic Reaction✔️ by Endless_Moments_

**COMPLETE \ REWRITE** Mistakes are meant to be made, but not the ones that can create a never ending nightmare. Y/n has committed the ultimate sin leaving her to her own demise and guilt that will continuously build up till she cracks. She's bounded by the hell she created and is forced to stay silent in order to keep those memories at bay. But slowly she wishes for it all to end. Either by death or by freedom, she wants it all to go away. It is hard to see someone suffering even when they make their priority to hide it from you. Edward Elric understands this all too well and is determined to make things right. He's determined to achieve his goal. And is determined to keep his demons inside--no one needs to know how his mistake is effecting him too. Both are in the midst of their own nightmares doing what they can to fight against it. But one is slowly giving up, allowing their hell consume them. The other will do whatever they can to free them--to make them whole again. Even if it meant taking on all the terrors and guilt he would do it all. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Highest ranking: #1 in FMA & FMAB!! Thank you everyone!!
