I totally missed my calling. I should've been a male advertising executive in the sixties.

Recently back from con with colonel_bastard. Best Overall award on the new FMA costumes I made for her and myself. :D Pics to follow.

For now, though...

Author: raja815
Word Count: 656
Rating: R
Pairing: Winry solo
Warnings: Automail fetishism, masturbation

Title: All Apologies
Author: raja815
Word Count: 575
Rating: PG
Characters: Roy Mustang/Maes Hughes
Summary: It's close quarters in Academy.
Warnings: Fluff
Notes: Written as a counterpart to colonel_bastard's fic, Lock and Key. We swapped our OTPs and gave ourseves the prompt of "First Kiss," compounded with 15_minute_fic's prompt of "shapes." Set pre-series, academy!fic.


( Everything in their dorm room is stark and rectangular. )

Title: The Most Unkindest Cut of All

Series:
Word Count: 500
Rating: R
Characters: Izumi Curtis
Summary: You only had three months to go.
Warnings: Miscarried pregnancy, sort of gory.
Notes: Written for fma_fic_contest. Set pre-series in the first animeverse. Title is lovingly ripped off from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. I trust he won't mind too much.

Title: Odysseus Redux
Author: raja815
Word Count: 250
Rating: G
Characters: Jean Havoc
Summary: There's a reason stories are just stories.
Warnings: None
Notes: Written for fma_fic_contest, for the prompt "Candle." Set pre-series-ish. You'll have to assume there's some kind of Amestrian equivalent of Homer's Odyssey floating around in the FMA macroverse somewhere. It's sort of a prevalent plot structure to more epic sorts of tales, so I think it's a justified(ish) assumption to make.


( Speak muse, of the man of twists and turns... )

Title: Layman's Terms
Author: raja815
Word Count: 831
Rating: R for swearing
Characters: Havoc and Breda
Summary: Equivalent exchange is a bunch of [expletive deleted.]

Characters: Knox, Mustang, Hughes
Summary: If he can't find the bullet, he's going to die.
Warnings: Surgery gore; possibly some light manga spoilers for the Ishbal flashback
Notes: Written for fma_fic_contest for the prompt "Hunt." I freaking love Knox's battle fatigue during Ishbal. And intestines. So here, have some.

Title: Best in the World
Author: raja815
Word Count: 500
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Catherine Elle and Alex Louis
Summary: Catherine has the best brother in the world.
Warnings: Disquietingly Freudian sexual themes
Notes: Written for fma_fic_contest for the prompt, "Armstrong." You'll probably need to have seen the Bachelor Lieutenant episode of the anime, or read the Fight On, Second Lieutenant manga gaiden.

( Catherine remembers. )

Title: The Milk of Human Kindness
Author: raja815
Word Count: 250
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Havoc and Mustang
Summary: Havoc is damn good at his job when he wants to be.

Title: This One Last Thing
Author: raja815
Word Count: 6100
Rating: R for intense violence
Characters: Havoc, Mustang, Hawkeye, Breda, Falman, Fuery, Hakuro, and others
Summary: What if nothing turned out the way it was supposed to?
Warnings: Gore, torture, character death, anime spoilers
Notes: Written for fma_fic_contest for the prompt "What if?" Everyone who knows me knows I think the first anime is pure gold up until the last half of the last episode, so I took the opportunity this week to write out how the anime ends in my head when I turn off the television before everything falls apart. I tend, you see, to prefer down endings.

In short, this is an alternate ending for the first anime. It branches off just before the final "epilogue" in the last 15 minutes or so of the series, so there will be spoilers up to that point.

( What if I won't do it, Sir? )

Word Count: 499
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Major Roy Mustang
Summary: What is madness, really, but an utter lack of boundaries?
Notes:Written for fma_fic_contest for the prompt "Boundaries." Incremental repetition courtesy of Mr. Lewis Carroll. Set during the infamous Ishbal rebellion. Probably not quite manga canon, but close enough for government work. Manga spoilers through the upper eighties or so.

Title: Fire Alchemy

Characters: Riza Hawkeye-centric, appearances by her parents

"You choose to go voluntarily into the fire. The blaze might well destroy you. But if you survive, every blow of the hammer will serve to shape your being. Every drop of water wrung from you will temper and strengthen your soul." -Margaret Weis
