Title: Life in verse
Pairing/Characters: Mostly Al & Ed
Rating: G (Nothing bad I can think of right now)
Warning: Really bad attempt at poetry!
Words: 535
Summary: Ed’s life in verse
A.N: I don’t know what I was thinking. I just came up with the first line, then a quick few verses and then it kind of ballooned out of control. I think I’ve added too much to be honest; it could more than likely cope with a few less verses and a lot less information. Started a really long time ago and finally finished in honour of National Poetry Month. It sucks, I know but I had a go at something new so I’m happy.

Summary: Ed’s been thinking.
A.N: It kind of resembles what I was going for when I first thought of it. It’ll do :) This was written for the prompt 'Cows' at the fic contest. A bit of bad humour to cheer people up and I promise I'll stop posting for today ^^; And now I need to go looking for an Ed, Al icon :D
 

“I don’t get it.” Al was startled by his brother’s sudden words. Ed had been staring through the window of the train for hours, undoubtedly working out some new equation, a new circle, something critical to their search.

He looked perplexed and utterly confused and Al wondered just what new idea could do that to a genius of alchemy. It must be something huge and he thought he should offer his help.

“Brother, what don’t you get?” Al waited for what would surely be a profound answer.

“Cows!” Al almost fell off the train seat. He must have heard wrong, there was no way his brother just said cows; it must be his helmet, something wrong with the soul bond.

“Brother, what did you just say? I think I heard wrong.” He hoped he’d heard wrong.

“Cows, I don’t get them.” If Al was human, if he’d had a real face he was sure that it would look completely confused, bewildered and shocked right now and it only got worse. “How can they taste so good to eat but also be the source of the vilest liquid known to man?”

Title: Living in dreams.
Pairing/Characters: Al
Rating: G
Warning: Angst
Words: 196
A.N: More of my Al musings. Could be seen as a follow on to His fault.

 

Al can’t sleep, but he stills dreams. He dreams of a time when he and Ed were happy. He dreams of warm summer days in Risembool with Winry, lying in the fields, the breeze gently moving the hairs on his arms.

He dreams that he told Ed to stop, that they hadn’t preformed the transmutation. In his dreams he was strong, strong enough to say no, to stand up to Ed. In his dreams they are both whole. 

He sees fights over Winry, trips to Central for holidays, growing up and helping teacher. Spending time together training their bodies and their minds. Travelling around the country to learn and to teach, equivalent exchange at its best. 

He dreams about love and friendship and touch. He dreams he can touch people and really feel them, touch their skin and feel their warmth. 

He thinks if he had spoken he could have had all this, if he had just said what he felt in his heart he wouldn’t need to dream. 

He doesn’t sleep but he dreams about what ifs. He dreams about what would have happened if he had spoken. He dreams about what could have been.

Title: His fault
Pairing/Characters: Al
Rating: G
Warning: Copious amounts of angst
Words: 450
A.N: I’ve been in an Al-centric mood today.
 

Al can’t sleep at night. Being only a soul trapped in a tin can means he has no eyes to close, no rest is needed to refresh his body and mind. It means he has time to think, time to wonder. Al hates the night!

 He wonders if they’ll ever find the Philosopher’s stone. He ponders what will happen if they don’t. He fears what will happen if they do. What will they have to give up? He knows the stone is supposed to mean they don’t need equivalent exchange but he doesn’t believe it.

Nothing in their lives had ever come without a price before, why would that change now? What would they have to give up this time? Would they be willing to pay? He knows Ed would, Ed would give up his very life for Al and that is what frightens him the most. Ed had already come close to losing his life for him once and Al really doesn’t know what he would do if he ever actually managed to go that one step further next time.

 What would happen to him? Would he live forever? Would he be able to go on? Would he be alone? Would he be able to cry?

 Al hated the questions, they never stopped. He wondered a lot about the future but it wouldn’t stop at that. His mind always found a way to shift to what ifs about the past. They were worse.

 What if mom had never died? What if Ed had never brought him back? What if teacher hadn’t taken them in? What if, what if… It always lead to the realisation that him being sat there like this was his own fault. He caused this, he made this happen. Ed never would have tried getting mom back if not for Al. Ed wouldn’t have lost his arm and leg if not for Al. Ed wouldn’t always be getting hurt if not for Al. Ed would be living a good life, or at least a better one, if not for Al.

 The last question that always comes to his mind is the same night after night. What if he had spoken up? If he had been strong enough to say what he felt, to tell Ed it was wrong, they wouldn’t be here. It was all Al’s fault, all of it. 

The thoughts continue, never stopping till the morning comes, if he could cry it might be easier but he can’t. He just sits there, eyes glowing red in the darkness, silently apologising to his sleeping brother for everything. Envying his broken, nightmare-filled sleep because even that would be better than this.

 Al really hated the night!
