Yeah, I'm on the run
See where I'm coming from,
When you see me come and run
Before you see what I'm running from
No time for question asking, time is running by, alright!
You can't win, child
We've all tried too
You've been lied to
It's already inside you
You either run now or best get ready to die
Run, I'm a natural disaster – Gnarls Barkley
01: New
Once the light flash is over and everything stops shaking, they all look at each other. Heinkel is on top of Darius where they had fallen backwards after trying to investigate the circle. Greed is leaning against the wall, red eyes wide and mouth open, ready to yell at them for being careless and stupid (because damaged property is pretty much worthless after all) and looks a far cry from his usual state of snarky coolness. Ed- oh, shit- Ed, the little alchemist brat that all of them tease but are growing to like is lying motionless on the floor, half in and half out of the dust covered circle.
"Oi, Kid!" Greed calls, the prince in his head echoing with a horrified "Ed!" The homunculus steps forward and the chimeras do an awkward knee shuffle towards the red-blond as well. The movement stirs Ed, and his eyes flutter open quickly, before he stands himself up. Greed snorts, cross with himself that he was worried, though Ling is being all happy and loud so he can't help the smile that crosses his face. "Glad you're awake, kid. Let's get a move on, after that I don't think this shelter's structurally sound and I wanted a better place to stay anyway."
He turns, expecting the others to trail after him as they have done these past few weeks, but Gorilla Man and Kitty only follow a few steps before turning to Ed who was standing still, pale faced with a pensive look. "Kid, what's wrong?" asks Heinkel, concern dripping into his voice. Ed turns around, slowly and they see it. His face, body- it's wrong.
Ed's face is narrower, his jaw no longer square. His hair's thinner and lighter, looking softer to the touch. Where hard lines had defined his body, there are now curves (and isn't that strange?), with less obvious muscles. He is slimmer, more athletic with narrower shoulders. He is the right height for his age now, Heinkel notes, before shaking his head to clear it of the thought.
Ed sighs and claps his hands, transforming his clothes into tighter fitting feminine versions, glaring at them and daring them to comment. Darius looks bamboozled and Greed is almost salivating at the sight. Ed flips them off and starts walking with Heinkel.
"Fuck"
"What?"
" I just realised I'm going to need to get new underwear. Fucking alchemy malfunctions."
A.N.: So, I'm writing drabbles again. AU (I think that's all I can write), featuring fem! Ed as a catalyst for all changes to canon universe.
This is going to be mostly gen/family (unless you squint through shipper glasses), featuring Heinkel as father figure, Darius as the uncle figure, and Greed and Ling as the older brother/ possible lover to Ed, the youngest and only girl. A true family of BAMFs.
It's set during or post-canon, with shameless manipulation of events for my own amusement.
There are roughly 400 words per drabble (or as close as I can get to either way), and using the use the fanfic 100/100x format. I do have a prompt master list saved to my computer. If you're interested, or want to request a drabble (and hopefully one that goes with the prompt), PM me or review, or something, and I'll do my best.
Also, should I keep this as a K+ or move it to T, because the 'f' word is common where I'm from (with actual for year olds using it), but I'm as low class as you can get, so all you civilised people should tell me when it is acceptable to use in society and what rating it makes it.
I hope you enjoyed, and feel free to review!
