Disclaimer: So I don't have to say this on every chapter, listen closely: I don't own FMA!
A/N: Well, I'm putting two of my greatest obsessions together—FMA and John Mayer. I hope this is a good idea… Anyway, I've been reading TONS of EdWin drabbles lately, and I got inspired. So, now, I'm giving it a try! But first, I need to give credit where credit's due. My inspirations: "Bits and Pieces" by Maggie's Revenge; "These Five Senses" & "Warmth in My Memories" by Took-Baggins; and "100 Moments to Live For" by causmicfire. If you're looking for excellent reads, give these a try if you haven't already!
So, each of these little drabbles will, of course, be EdWin-related and will be based off of a John Mayer song. I might just use the song title as inspiration, but I also might relate the piece to the actual meaning behind the song. Anyway, I plan to have one for all of his songs from "Room for Squares," "Heavier Things," "Continuum," and even the ones from his independently released album "Inside Wants Out." Hopefully I won't flake out somewhere in the middle of this project. OK, on to the stories! (Please note that my author's notes will not always be this long!)
No Such Thing
"There's no such thing as no such thing."
The words echoed in Edward's mind as clearly as when he had first heard them. They had been the words of an enemy at the time but were now a kind of motto for him. Naturally, his scientific mind always wanted to argue with them, but he wouldn't let it. He had to believe them. That belief that nothing was impossible was what kept him moving towards his goal to get his brother's body back.
And, it was a good thing that he made himself believe it because as he continued following the winding path towards the Philosopher's stone, the more real it became to him. He was going to get Al's body back. There was going to be a way. It wasn't going to be impossible.
So, when it began seeming like a wall was standing in their way, he had to remind himself of those words. Then, determination would take over once again. Determination to get Al's body back, to return to Risembol, and to finally see her cry those tears of joy like he promised.
A/N: Mangaverse, if you didn't already catch that. That line was said by Greed, btw; although, the translation might be different in other places. Thanks for reading; please review!
