"Even your gravest mistakes should not hinder you from moving forward." In 1923, a scientist by the name of Alfons Heiderich was shot and killed during a Nazi skirmish in a German Factory; his dream unrealized and his research seemingly forgotten. Until now. In the present, Lorelai "Rory" Gilmore, a young journalist, has recently ended her job as a political campaign writer for the Presidential race and is struggling to find a fresh story. During a requested Gilmore family trip to Europe, she stumbles upon Alfons Heiderich's scientific schematics and unsent letters that are addressed to a man named "Edward". Though Rory may have found the discovery of a lifetime, she soon realizes that these writings are more than meets the eye. Now, Rory must make the decision if the world is ready to know an existence of a parallel world that is ruled by a power called "Alchemy" or if it was better off buried in the past. More problems arise when she crosses paths with a strange golden-eyed, blonde haired man, who claims to be the one of whom the letters are inscribed to. Sometimes, the "Truth" should really just be left alone. ---- Based on the first Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 series. Set after the events of the Conqueror of Shamballa movie and after 7th Season of Gilmore Girls. Warnings: Unlikely Crossover Fanfiction. Slight AU but otherwise, stays original to the canon characters' events and timeline. Possible crossover ships.
