Summary: Unwillingly forced to serve as a human trial for a crazy alchemist experimenting with time travel, Edward Elric finds himself standing across from Truth in the moment it takes his leg from him. Armed with the knowledge of what's to come and burdened with guilt for the choices he'd made as an adult, Ed sets out to fix every mistake he ever made and save every life they ever lost, no matter what it takes.

A/N: There's some original character death in this chapter. Because, let's be honest, Ed can't save everyone, much as he might like to be able to.

Tsuyuhime asked me about May's siblings over on tumblr, and I spazzed out a bit. It's spoiler-free, so if anyone else was interested in the family I made for May, you can head on over and read.

For those who are looking forward to Al figuring out he was with May in Ed's original timeline: Trust me, he's figured it out. (Ed sort of shot himself in the foot, there.)
For those of you who are looking forward to Al figuring out who the mystery man is: I really can't wait for you to understand why I've been sitting here laughing for the past two days.
