The former renowned Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric, sees chances to plunge back into a life of action and alchemy once he arrives in the West and makes the acquaintance of two young alchemists. These two are researching what Fullmetal suspects may very well be another philosopher's stone... *This fanfiction is based on the Anime series FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD, however the story is mine.

The Forgotten Alchemist by wolf-babe

Elizabella Rockbell was never interested in becoming a state alchemist. She was more than happy following Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse Elric around whilst helping them in their missions, though that was mostly due to her insane crush on Ed. But when Elizabella suffers heartache in the form of knowing that the one person whom you love will never be yours, she becomes estranged from her cousin, Winry Rockbell and the only best friends she had ever known. But these actions have consequences that Elizabella never foretold and once learning about how her family is coping, years after severing the ties she held with them, she goes about returning things back to normal. However, when a new alchemist rears their head and threatens to destroy everything that Elizabella and her friends had worked so hard for long ago, they can do nothing but set to destroying them in order to keep peace within their home country. With tensions rising, and the help of old friends and new, Elizabella helps to track down the alchemist as well as deal with her own issues within her circle. Everyone knows the story and Edward and Alphonse Elric, but what Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood forgot was the storyline of their lifelong friend. This is the story of Elizabella Rockbell. This is the story of The Forgotten Alchemist.

Elementally Compatible|Edward Elric x Reader by Sparky-Sparks

F/N Hughes is the younger sister to Maes Hughes and became a state alchemist at the age of 15. At the time, she thought she was the youngest State Alchemist and had previously attempted human transmutation when she was 12, allowing her to use alchemy with no circle but at the sacrifice of both of her legs which are now automail. What will happen when she meets Edward Elric who took the test when he was 12 and she finds out he and his brother Alphonse also attempted human transmutation and are trying to get their bodies back. While F/N does not seek the return of her legs, actually preferring the automail replacements, she can't help but be curious about both of the brothers, but especially Edward, even if at first they clash more than getting along. (I am following Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood for this story!)

Same, But Different (A Fullmetal Alchemist fan-fic) by HalfmetalAlchemist

He's Fullmetal. She's Halfmetal. Same, but different. They weren't supposed to meet, ever. SAME: Éclair Elanie, is just a not-so-normal girl with the life of an alchemist. Almost the same as yours truly, the Fullmetal Alchemist. She's recently arrived back in the capital in search of something. DIFFERENT: She's the Halfmetal Alchemist, and plans to stay that way. Strong, bratty, irritable, slightly taller than average, and certainly hiding a lot of secrets. BUT: When she discovers she has a random target on her back and is being hunted down by unknown group of people, Éclair must accept the help she can get to dig up the past, secrets, and more to keep herself safe. Of course all the while being stuck with her new 'best friend', the Fullmetal Alchemist. [Currently in Editing]

The pair approach and conquer their junior year of college together, sharing an apartment with another friend, Paninya, on campus. Through (Y/n)'s envy of Winry and her longing to connect with someone the way Winry connects with her significant other, Edward Elric, (Y/n) battles with her morality as she journeys through her feelings for the aforementioned man. She thinks that matters can't possibly get worse until Winry announces that she and Edward are engaged. This short story follows a modern-day AU and the strained relationship between (Y/n) and Edward as his wedding day approaches, and as what once started as animosity between the two blossoms into something deeper.

The City Under Central (Edward Elric x Reader) by jungquoke

You and the Elric Brothers were great friends when you were younger. But after they attempted human transmutation, they burned their house down and left to recover what they lost. Although you missed them dearly, you knew it was better to support them from afar. Now, after many years apart from them, you find a chance to see them again. The rebellion in Lior. You were desperate to speak to them, especially Ed, but not long after the two of you reunite, you disappear. There's only one place Ed will find you. In the city under Central. Based off the 2003 anime, not Brotherhood (it's not going to have the same ending, don't worry). CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT COMPLETELY LIKE THE ANIME. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Does contain feels (I think).
