Title: Come What May
Series: Part one of Our Sinner's Redemption
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Mature
Pairings: Darius/Edward Elric/Heinkel, pre-Edward Elric/Roy Mustang
Warnings: Ed's potty mouth, spoilers for FMA:B ending, canon-typical violence, pile 'o OCs, survivor's guilt, angst, original character death, slow build (btwn Ed & Roy), referenced underage relationships, off-screen violence against women
Summary: After the Promised Day, with his alchemy still intact thanks to Hohenheim's sacrifice, Ed finds himself and his chimera team getting dragged into the shadowy world of military secrets in an attempt to keep Bradley's legacy from causing a civil war.

A/N: I know the generally accepted canon for Ed's birthday is 3rd Feb, because of the 2003 anime, but when I was figuring out my calendar for this series, I ended up picking a different date. Mostly because I see him as a Leo, but also because of terrible, horrible reasons.

Original character death (off-screen, but the fall-out is on-screen) is in this chapter and follows through the next few. And, fuck, I've known practically since they first showed up that I was going to be killing them, but I still cried when I was writing it. I'm sorry.

Posting way early here on LJ because, let's be honest, no one ever reads on here. Also, I have a crazy day tomorrow & posting on LJ always takes forever. (& I'm waiting for my boss to ring. So.)
