FANDOM: Fullmetal Alchemist
FIC LINK: A Fairy Tale
AUTHOR LINK: Liar of Lesbos
RATING/WARNING(S): G
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete, 719 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Ling, Ed

FIC SUMMARY: "The man who fed shoes to the Emperor" didn't quite make it into the history books, but it did become a fairy tale.

RECCER'S NOTES: A fairy tale-style telling of the time Ed and Ling were stuck in Gluttony's stomach with nothing to eat but one of Ed's shoes. (Though Ed would not like his description in this fic...) I still found it amusing.

RATING/WARNING(S): G | Major spoilers for the end of the manga / FMAB
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 463
MAIN CHARACTERS: Mrs Bradley

FIC SUMMARY: Of course she had loved him. How could she not? He was the Fuhrer...

RECCER'S NOTES: This is that rare fic that can change your perspective on a character while never once altering the facts. A very thought-provoking and slightly chilling piece.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Roy Mustang, Edward Elric

FIC SUMMARY: Stranded in the middle of the Eastern Desert, Roy Mustang must try to get himself and a concussed Edward across it safely before he completely loses his mind.

RECCER'S NOTES: OH GOD THIS FIC. Told from the perspective of an increasingly-unbalanced Roy Mustang, this is a superb story. Though the subject matter is grim, the dialogue is sprinkled with humour - Ed and Roy's acerbic relationship is a joy to read - and it never falls into the trap of navel-gazing that plagues so many fanfics. Mustang is a complex character who's done some truly horrible things, and this story has no qualms in showing that. If it has one flaw it's the proofreading, which left out a number of homophone mistakes, but the rest of the writing is fantastic: vivid and to the point. The story structure keeps the suspense right up till the end.

"Evil, evil thing, to make someone want revenge."

RATING/WARNING(S): General Audiences
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 3329
MAIN CHARACTERS: Roy Mustang, Chris Mustang, Vanessa, Madeline, Original Characters

FIC SUMMARY: Roy and his sisters, through the years.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is a beautiful exploration of Roy Mustang and his adopted family-- the minor characters are made alive with a deft touch and the characterization is absolutely spot on. I absolutely loved the way intelligence work and family relationships was written together in this fic.
