FIC: Come What May ~ FMA:B ~ Darius/Edward Elric/Heinkel (pre-EdRoy) ~ Mature ~ Ch 10/20

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: This chapter has off-screen sexual relations between Ed and the chimeras. If you're feeling squicked... First off, how the hell'd you make it this far? Second off, it's off-screen, you'll live.

(You know, it sort of just occurred to me, but this world doesn't share our history, and being military-centric is not the same as being homophobic, despite how often in our world the two have been related. Which means I can make the Amestris military cool with homosexual relationships. XD)

There is another panic attack in this chapter, and Ed talks a bit about the very first one he had.

Unrelated: There's a scene in this chapter from an unknown PoV, which wrote itself and fit into the plot far too well to turn it into a side-story. You'll see. (Or maybe you won't. I dunno. XP)

There are two side-stories for this chapter, which can be found, as always, on Archive of Our Own or here on LiveJournal. One is Darius/Ed/Heinkel smut, but the other is a scene from Roy's PoV. (They are labelled to differentiate.) As a reminder, you may wish to read the whole chapter first, to avoid any confusion.

LAST! I've put together a guide for Ed's squad, which you can find here on Google Docs.

SIDE STORIES: Our Sinner's Redemption Extras ~ FMA ~ Teen ~ Come What May Ch 10 (Roy) Extra

Title: Our Sinner's Redemption Extras
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Original character death, some explicit language

Chapter Summary: This is from chapter ten of Come What May, following how Roy found out about the train explosion and got to Central.

A/N: This was probably the first side-scene I knew I was going to have to write, even though it's one of the last ones I did for Come What May's set. I can only hope it turned out as awesome as it was when it first formed itself in my head.

Technically, this side-story takes place at the end of chapter 9, but because you don't know that Roy's going to show up in Central until chapter 10, I opted to wait and attach it to 10, instead.
