So yeah, these are all idea's that I've had and started yet never found enough desire to continue. So I'm posting them anyway in this compilation so other people can adopt them. I just ask that you drop me a note so I can read it and make a mention of which author took which idea at the end of whichever chapter applies so that others who read this and like it can be all, 'Ohhh, this author is continuing it! I shall read it there! Yay!'
I've see several other authors doing this and it seemed like a good idea. Now all these half formed stories can stop floating around my head and I can focus on the stories I'm actually invested in... sigh...
So delve in and feast my pretties!!
Cheers!!
In all Fairness
X-men crossover with Full Metal Alchemist
"In all fairness, I really don't think he meant to hang you upside down like that."
"Oh? Then what the fuck did he mean to do?!"
"Merely keep you from being hit by the car."
"A simple shove would have sufficed! Now if you would get me the fuck down I think I might be a little more forgiving."
Professor Xavier sighed quietly as he turned to the nervous O'Brien in the quiet street. The boy was glancing around him in awe at the people milling about that had frozen in motion when Xavier had noticed the younger boy loose a volley of pyknotic power to save another boy who had not noticed the red Impala barrelling toward him.
Of course he had halted time before anyone noticed but since this was the first time O'Brien had seen it done he was a bit shocked. The blonde hanging upside down had widened his eyes before cussing in a way that Xavier was sure would make Logan impressed.
"O'Brien, just breath deeply and focus on the power inside you, let him down slowly." O'Brien bit his lip nervously but nodded. The boy in the air fell with a thud that made Xavier and O'Brien wince.
"Stupid, fucking, ghah..." the blonde muttered as he dragged himself up to glare at them, "That hurt!"
"I... I'm sorry," O'Brien mumbled, looking close to tears. This seemed to take the anger out of the other boys sails.
"Yeah, well, so long as it doesn't happen again." He said gruffly brushing street grim off his strange black clothes and red jacket. "Who are you anyway." He asked looking around at the eerie, motionless street.
"My name is Professor Xavier, of the Xavier School for the gifted. This is Roger O'Brien. We, as you can tell by now, are mutants." He opened his (mind reading powers?) to get a gauge on how the blonde would react, only to be surprised since he could not read the boy at all. Was the boy a mutant as well? It would explain the gold eyes.
"Mutants, eh?" the boy eyed them askance, "not the first time I've heard that word since coming here." What did he mean by that, Xavier wondered, "the name's Edward Elric."
Okay, I don't know enough about the X-men world so as much as I wanted to do this, it would only fail in the end. Therefore I will leave it to you the readers. The following were things I was going to do with it. If you adopt this or whatever you can follow these (or not).
1) I was going to make it to be from the FMA manga rather then the anime... but if you can't find a way to get him into the X-men world without the Plot-Hole-Monster-That-Is-The-Gate-Of-Truth then by all means use the anime.
2)Ed is a member of the MILITARY!! I don't want Ed to be shown as weak-ass compared to the oh-so-mighty X-men... on that note, nor do I want him to be all-powerful god over the weak-ass X-men. He thinks like a military dog with a lot more creativity... he is a genius and it's obviously not just in alchemy, that's just what he focuses on. Anyway, as I was saying... Ed is sneaky and clever and vindictive. He could totally bury the X-mansion before anyone knew what was going on... if they caught him he'd run outa luck faster then a whipcream can runs outa air in the hands of a child, but the mansion would still be buried underneath the ground. So yeah... I was going to have Ed and the X-men on equal footing... he's just totally outnumbered. Although I guess he'd be helpless against Magneto, but I wasn't even going to have that guy in the story...
3)As you can tell from the chapter above... I don't want mind-reader mutants (no matter how strong) to be able to read his mind. I was going to have it that because he's not human or mutant and his mind evolved differently, the mind readers couldn't get a grasp on him... like different radio frequencies.
4)Ed was not going to be a mutant... nor was he human in their way... he's from another world... they evolved differently. His genetic stream is completely different.
5) He taught himself English when he got to that world (genius remember, you take care of the rest). His own language is nothing like German or Japanese (Why would it be? Other world).
6) He wants to get home to Al and Winry (Whether the Promise with Al has been fulfilled or not). I had him in love with Winry. You could make it slash if you want (I love slash actually)... but no Winry-bashing and he goes home in the end (if he does fall for an X-men then bring said person back with him).
8)Keep the comedy up people!! FMA is a really moving and sad story but the author keeps it from being overwhelming with well-placed comedy. Too much angst is not healthy... plus Ed doesn't let angst keep him down for long. He has his moments but he is always getting back up with that devil-may-care attitude and shit-eating grin.
This was adopted by Tyori under the same title "In all fairness." Check it out and review to encourage Tyori to update!!!
Thanks all!
