A quick intro, although at the end of the day I prefer Brotherhood, I absolutely loved the Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 version, I think Brotherhood was better made overall but the 2003 version was so much deeper. So yeah, I love them both!

Meaning there was no way I wasn't going to include both animes in this, so just a heads up if your confused it's most likely from the 2003 anime ( assuming most of you watched Brotherhood )

Nice and simple right? Well I uh also have my own little sortve AU, you see why have one when you can have both? So I just kinda combined them in my head and tried to make a consistent plot combing both their elements and in simplest terms it goes somewhat like this.

Father is born in his weird test lab in Xerxes around 400 years ago, and befriends Hohenhiem, after becoming versed in alchemy and promoted in the ranks he meets Dante, and they fall in love and have a child

Father isn't content to stay in his glass flask for long and does the whole Philosophers Stone transmutation leaving only Dante, Hohenhiem and Father alive, each with a stone.

Father goes one way, while Hohenhiem and Dante set off for Xing, introducing Alchemy when their child gets sick and dies. Dedicating their focus towards any healing alchemy in attempts to resurrect their son giving rise to Alkahestry. With pressuring from Dante which puts a serious strain on their relationship, Hohenhiem attempts human transmutation... it creates a homunculus, Envy.

With different goals in life they split. Meanwhile Father several years earlier had already made his first Homunculus, Pride. Meanwhile shunned by his parents Envy turned towards Father, and Father used him as his newest vessel for the Envy in his heart.

Father creates more, one for each sin. Dante picking up on these odd cultlike beings, while not knowing exactly what she stumbled into, names her own homunculi after what she presumes are simply legends.

Father has Selim Bradley ( Pride ), Envy ( Son of Hohenhiem ), Lust ( The one made by Father's sins ), Greed ( The one and only ), Sloth, Gluttony ( The one who's stomach rips open ), and ofc Wrath ( Weirdo Eyeball guy aka Fuher Bradley )

Meanwhile Dante's little cult consists of Lust II ( Scar's Brother's Lover ), Trisha Elric ( Sloth ), and Wrath ( Izumi's son )

The doubles on both sides are Envy, who chills with his Mom sometimes, does a bit of murder, the usully. Greed as well, until he gets killed. Then there's Fuher Bradley who Dante nominated as her "Pride" and he's just there like: "Okay then, I am now being controlled by two megalomaniacs, this is fine."

FMA is altered a ton as you can imagine, but provided you watched both what I'm saying and about to say should at least make 10% sense? So basically, the beginning starts out the same and all, with Edward and Alphonse attempting the human transmutation. The first part of FMA will follow the 2003 storyline, defeating Dante and whatnot but in the second part it will follow the Brotherhood timeline.

Basically they meet Dante's gang who wanted to use Reole to live longer and Father lets her as it aligns with his goals perfectly. Edward and Alphonse eliminate the surface level threat, Dante, except they don't make the whole trade for the memories and stuff, and in this Edward finds a way back without the uh... very weird 2003 sequel movie... They continue their search following the Brotherhood timeline, running into Father's crew, and dealing with the final boss, weird human thingies, etc. It's a little effy and later I'll explain better but...

This isn't really that important, considering this is just about the Homunculi and this really isn't that important. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. :D Probaly won't use it very much so no worries, I hope you will enjoy reading this.

So without further ado ( and time for me to write the first stories ) may I show you, the Homunculi Tales...
