Writer's Note: I had an Idea for a EdWin One Shot Collection for a long long Time in mind now. I just had to figure out how I make it possible, and well here it is :D I love Music and I have so many favorite Songs so I thought I could name every chapter after a Song, and make it - if possible - to fit any Edward&Winry Situation. That's why its called SongShot Collection. There are lots of People on here who are doing the 100 Themes challenge, and its great. I for myself, decided to make it 64. It were 64 Episodes of Brotherhood, so I'm trying to come up with 64 EdWin One Shots. And I really hope I'll finish it. This Collection can be Spoiler-ish, so if you havent finished the Manga/Anime then beware!

Song used: Brothers, english Version by Vic Mignogna

Special Thanks to my Editor Robin Sparrow, she made it possible again!

Disclaimer: I dont own the Song or Fullmetal Alchemist, but if I did, Havoc would be my Boyfriend :D



SongShot Collection

01 Brothers

Hohenheim sat nervously on a chair in the corridor of his house and waited.

His beloved wife Trisha had been in their bedroom for hours; she had been in labour since early morning, with her good friend and almost-neighbour Sarah Rockbell at her side.

Hohenheim felt helpless, and all he could do was wait. He wasn't even allowed to enter the room. He knew why, of course: after all, he would probably freak out more than anyone else in his house.

But it wasn't just helplessness he felt; he couldn't help feeling terrible for his wife. She was obviously in a great deal of pain, and in a way, it all was his fault.

Meanwhile, Edward and Winry were in the front yard of the Elric residence.

Why did adults always have secrets?

Winry sat rocking slightly on the swing, while Ed was lying on the green grass. The poor little boy looked so confused.

From time to time, Winry's grandma, Pinako, looked out the kitchen window, just to make sure the two kids hadn't run off anywhere.

Winry hopped off the Swing and sat down beside Edward. Tugging on his shirt, she asked, "Ed, wha's happening with your mommy?"

"I dunno... Daddy said that we have a new fam'ly member soon," he explained to the little blond girl, "and he tol' me to wait outside."

"Oh." Winry nodded, and suddenly looked up, frightened, as the door of the house swung open.

Hohenheim came out and stood on the porch. "It's a boy," he whispered, and Winry watched, bewildered, as a tear rolled down the man's cheek. She'd always been a bit scared of him, and would not go close to him, but this was something altogether new. She wasn't sure whether she should be scared, or interested.

Shortly after, Pinako emerged from the house and made a beeline for the kids. "Ed, your mommy wants to introduce you to someone," she said, gesturing for both of them to come inside.

Ed pushed himself up off the grass, and stood, staring at Pinako and at the house, looking utterly at a loss. To Winry, it almost looked as though he was scared to go inside.

Wanting to comfort him, she took his hand and smiled at him.

"Le's go inside together," she said cheerfully.

Edward, mortified at being comforted by a girl, shaked off her hand and snapped, "I can go alone! I'm a big boy, okay?"

Ed's reaction had Winry's eyes filling with tears instantly. "I jus' wanted to be nice... you're so mean!"

Ed sighed, his anger giving way a little to remorse. Even if he was just a little kid, he couldn't stand seeing his best friend in tears. "Come on, you crybaby." He took her hand again, and the two of them walked in the house together, followed by Pinako and Hohenheim. Pinako slowly opened the bedroom door, and everyone went in and gathered beside the bed. Sarah, Winry's mother, walked over to her daughter. She took the child's tiny hand in her own and watched as Ed made his way hesitantly over to his mother. He put his hands on the metal rods that stuck up from either side of the bed to prevent the baby from falling out, and looked through them, his golden eyes widening as he took in the scene before him.

"Edward," said Trisha in a soft voice, "say hello to your little brother, Alphonse."

Hohenheim sat on the foot of Trisha's bed, watching her watch her two sons as they met for the first time.

Ed was amazed by the little thing in the cot. He found it - him - cute somehow, but fragile, as though he might break any second.

"It's okay, Ed. You can touch him if you want to." Trisha could always tell what her firstborn was thinking, and what he was worried about.

Edward stuck his hand through the rods and stroked the tiny hand that belonged to his brother. "Smooth," he said, and looked at his mother, grinning.

"Want to feel smooth too!" Winry exclaimed, hopping up and down.

"No! My brother! Tell mommy you want one too!"

"You so mean!"

"Stop it, you two, or else Alphonse will wa-" But it was too late. Before Sarah could finish her sentence, the argument woke the baby. His loud cry startled the kids, and they quickly hid behind Pinako.

"Sorry," Winry whispered, while Trisha stared at Ed. Intimidated by his mother's look, he suddenly found the bedroom floor more interesting than anything else in the room.

Sarah walked over to the cot and took Alphonse out. Trisha wasn't allowed yet to leave the bed, so she brought him into her arms.

„Okay, visitor time is ending now. The baby and the mommy need some rest now," Sarah said with a friendly but also meaningful tone. She knew the Elrics well, and if she didn't scold them, they wouldn't give Trisha a minute of peace.

Everyone started walking out, Hohenheim bringing up the rear of the group. Before he could close the door behind them, however, Trisha called for Edward. The little boy shrugged and only stuck his head around the corner into the room, his big golden eyes meeting those of his mother.

"It's okay, come over here," she said warmly, and Ed walked over to the bed again. "Your little brother needs someone to watch over him now. I need you to promise me that you will take care of him, and love him as much as I love you and your daddy."

The little boy's expression changed from confused to excited when he heard what his new task was. Of course he would take care of his little brother, and he already found it very amazing that he finally had someone new to play with. "I will!" proclaimed little Ed, beaming, and climbed onto Trisha's bed to stroke his little brother's hand once again...


"I can't believe you just told May that stupid childhood story!" Ed snapped, walking out of the kitchen and into to the living room and letting himself fall onto the couch.

"What's your problem, Brother?" Alphonse walked in and took a seat beside his older brother. "It's a really nice story, and I didn't know it either."

"Oh, shut up, will ya?" Embarrassed, Ed stood again and went straight back into the kitchen and faced Winry. "I am so getting you back for this!"

May and Winry simply stood and watched as Ed stormed out of the kitchen like a hurricane. Shortly after, they heard the door to his room shut with a loud bang, and the two girls gave in to a fit of giggling.

Alphonse, back in the living room, only sighed loudly at the still-immature reaction of his older brother. Sometimes, it seemed he hadn't really grown up that much after all.


Yay! I loved this chapter so much. I wanted to write something about Al's Birth and Edward's reaction so badly. And of course, I just had to insert Trisha and Hohenheim, they're sooooo adorable. I know it seemed kinda weird, and one year old Kids doesnt talk that good... I know I know... throw things at me if you want to, but Ed's a genius, which is my excuse xD Oh, as for the Kid's language, thats no typing issue, that was intentional! Hope you liked it.

More is coming soon!
