A/N: okay people, so here's this newest thing of mine. i have a list of prompts that i'm working off of. each prompt is given either a single character, several characters, or a pairing. the real catch? each story must be exactly thirty words.

yes, i do know that i'm insane. do i care? no, not really. xP


1.

Prompt: Reality Check

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Truth

Story Start -

If Edward thinks that it will be easy, Truth muses, then he is wrong. So very, very wrong. And, perhaps, it just might be time for a little reality check.


2.

Prompt: Absolutely Alone

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Winry Rockbell

Story Start -

She has her grandmother, yes, but it isn't the same. When her two boys are gone, out fighting a war she doesn't really understand, those times...she feels absolutely alone.


3.

Prompt: Prince Charming

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Greed/Alphonse

Story Start -

Greed is far from being anyone's Prince Charming, that's a fact. He can be crude, rude, and downright nasty. But Alphonse loves him all the same, even if Edward dissaproves.


4.

Prompt: Good Question

Words: 30

Character/Pairing:

"Sir? Have you finished all your paper work?" Riza questions, rapping her knuckles on the door.

Inside, there is a flurry of noises and papers rustling - what a good question, indeed.


5.

Prompt: Can You Hear Me?

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Roy/Riza

"Can you hear me?" she shouts, raising her voice to be heard over the hail of gunshots. "Colonel? Roy! Answer me!"

The only sound that Riza hears is that of war.


6.

Prompt: I'm Telling

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Edward/Winry

"I'm telling you, Winry!" Edward protests, crossing his flesh arm over his chest. The other hangs limp at his side. "I'm fine. You're just over-reacting."26

Slowly, blood soaks fabric.


7.

Prompt: Out Of Control

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Havok/Scar

Jean closes his eyes and he sees a pair of red eyes staring at him. Dark skin and light hair. When he opens them, he knows it's out of his control.


8.

Prompt: Willingness

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Roy

To begin with, Roy had been surprised at Edward's willingness to die. Then he met the young Alphonse, I will get your body back, and it all made perfect sense.


9.

Prompt: Drunk

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Jean Havok

After the war, there's only one thing that can ease the memories of those he killed. Only one thing that can erase the pain - so Havok drinks and he forgets.


10.

Prompt: Disaster

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Edward Elric

It is a disaster, Edward realizes at last, this dream they have been chasing. A lie. Because, really, how can he sacrifice others for himself? The simple answer is he can't.


11.

Prompt: Past, Present, Future

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Edward and Alphonse

Past; it will not be forgotten.

Present; they will fight to survive.

Future; is almost unreachable.

Somehow though, they will survive. They will thrive. They will live.

It will happen.


12.

Prompt: Dysfunctional

Words: 30

Character/Pairing: Alphonse/Greed

An alchemist, an Elric, a member of the military.

A homunculous, a Sin, a man meant for death.

At their worst, they were incompatible. At their best, they were dysfunctional.
