    Summary

    "It was ridiculous. Four years had passed. Logan had moved on. And he’d never really known Reiner anyway — only a simulacrum of the perfect man, carefully constructed to deceive and use him. The Reiner who was here now was practically a stranger.

    And yet his brain betrayed him, spinning the wildest scenarios.

    It was a stupid fantasy. Doomed to fail."

    Spring 854. Marley is calling up inexperienced recruits from all corners of the empire to the eastern border in order to put an end to this four-year war against the Middle Eastern alliance, which is beginning to take a heavy toll. On the other side of the continent, a small group from Paradis Island is traveling to the mainland for the first time after a century of isolation… But their only deterrent, Eren Jeager, vanishes without a trace.

    As the Survey Corps prepares for the imminent last battle, Logan has no choice but to put the shadows of his past aside if he wants to spare as many lives as possible. He embarks on a race against time to slow down the unstoppable machine of total war, even if it means being crushed in its gears.

    Summary

    Seresins are warriors. They die young, and they die bloody. They’ve got a debt somewhere one of them forgot to write down, and now the rest of them are paying the price.

    Jake Seresin comes from a long line of fighters and desperados and gets an itch under his skin whenever he stops moving. Seresins are a law unto themselves, and great men have tried to make it otherwise and failed.

    Bradley Bradshaw was born with roots so deep the shifting of the tectonic plates can’t move them. There are mountain ranges less stubborn and more self-aware than he is.

    Javier Machado has beaten Bradley Bradshaw into the ground exactly three times in his life before the idiot finally realized. It might have been a bit extra, but Javy knows where all the bodies on the Seresin Ranch are buried.

    (AKA this time Jake comes from a loving if tragic, family, and he and Bradley still can’t get it right the first time)

    Summary

    “They’re retrofitting it for a new set of sorcerers?” Nanami asks, but that can’t be it—otherwise word would have made it to LOCCENT and he wouldn’t have heard it out of legal first.

    Higuruma shakes his head. The look in his eyes could plunge a Jaeger to the bottom of the Pacific. “The higher-ups would aren’t wasting Gojo Satoru—not when he’s still got time on his contract. The recovery year they gave him was generous. They’re putting him back in that cockpit, and they’re in the process of figuring out who they can shove in there with him.”

    Summary

    Edward Elric is born with a healthy set of lungs and two bright soulmarks on his tiny wrist. The marks are bold against his skin, and when his father holds him up to get a closer look, Ed smacks him on the nose with an uncoordinated fist.
    Trisha Elric laughs.
    A year later, when Alphonse Elric is born with an identical set of marks, one above the other on his shoulder, Hohenheim’s curiosity sinks into confusion.
    Trisha coos at her sons’ matching marks and smiles.

    Or: a soulmate AU where soulbonds are familial rather than romantic, and Ed and Al will always have parents, no matter if Hohenheim walked out on them and Trisha isn't there anymore.

    Inspired by "The Rights and Obligations of Fated Parents: Aizawa's Messy Journey to Parenthood" by Hayato (TheLennyBunny) & SugaSugar

    Summary

    Roy Mustang and Edward Elric's relationship had always been complicated. Roy wasn't sure why the boy resented him so much, but he was fine with it as long as Edward listened enough to keep himself safe.

    However, when Edward makes a careless decision after being injured on an inspection that results in him developing pneumonia, Mustang offers him a spot in his apartment in place of going to a hospital out of fear of the kid taking a potentially fatal dive over the weekend.

    To top it all off, East City is freezing in one of the coldest winters to date.

    Time will tell if the brief stay will break down their walls and allow them to bond, or if will make things between them even worse.
