Fullmetal Alchemist up this time. No spoilers for the first 4 fic recs. The last two are set post series, so be wary. And if you don't see me much next week, I'll be on Spring Break.

Raining Cats and Dogs by

devils_devotion (oneshot, gen, slight connotations of RoyxEdxAl) Please don't let the pairing scare you, I really do believe that this fic is gen, but the author marks it as having hints of RoyxElric kyodai, so I made sure to label it thusly. Ed and Al are on a train back to Central when Ed notices he's missing his State Alchemist watch from his duel with Mustang. This is a terrific fic, the interaction between the Elric brothers was great and loving while at the same time exasperating, and you have to love the snark between Roy and the two Elrics. Definitely give this one a once over.

"We're sorry to bother you, Colonel,"Al said hastily before his brother could speak,"but Nii-san's - "

"My watch, you conniving bastard, give me back my watch before I beat your head in - "

" - Nii-san's State Alchemist watch seems to have gone missing,"Al explained apologetically."First Lieutenant Hawkeye told us you - "

" - stole it, you damned jerk, give it back! - "

" - picked it up after Nii-san dropped it on the ground after your combat exam,"the armor finished, a restraining arm already keeping Edward at bay."May we have it back, please?"

Token by

ysabet (oneshot, gen, slight WinryxAl) Alphonse is having trouble thinking up a good gift to get Winry for her birthday. Why do I love it? Because Al is such a cutie and his journey to find the perfect gift is just so endearing and so Al, you just have to love him. However, it's not all sap either, the advice Al gets on what a girl like Winry would want for her birthday was funny too and had just the right amount of humor and emotion to read like one of the omake episodes in FMA. Too cute.

Fullmetal Narcissist by

harukami originally recced by

ninjatrauma (oneshot, yaoi, EdxEdclone, crack) It's hard to describe this fic and do it justice. You have to read

harukami's explanation on how this fic came to be and then maybe you'll be as intrigued as I was and give it a shot. However, to describe it would be...interesting.

daydreams by

mikkeneko (ficlet, complete) I am a whore to a good punchline. That is all.

Second Element by Tenshi no Korin (oneshot)
Ed & Someone Else, Post Series. ...It's funny, the people that you meet on trains. And since I don't want to give away the plot, I just saw that you should read this because it's provocative and gets you thinking.

The Alter!Series art drawn by

hime1999 and series content provided by too many people to name (post-series, WiP, gen so far) A whole listing can be found here. The series that urged me into finishing Fullmetal Alchemist before the next decade. I had heard so many good things about the community over on

fm_alchemist that I knew it was going to be good, and was I ever wrong. It wasn't just good, it blew my mind away. At times cute and fluffy, and at others angsty and unpredictable, I just felt so much read all the fic and their accompanying pictures, that I have been thoroughly sucked into the universe. I cannot recommend this series enough.
