One Parallel Conundrum


It makes for quite an interesting fact, deserving of a note at the front of his mind when he wakes each morning. Of all of the things he has found to be so fascinating in this new world, it can be second to none, and the possibilities it opens are as bountiful and endless as his hope that they can be realized.

Parallels.

Parallels between worlds.

His sincere brother, Alphonse; his dearly departed friend, Alfons.

Evil, cunning Führer Bradley; enigmatic and humorous Fritz Lang.

Strong, faithful Rose; deep, beautiful Noah.

It seems, though, that no matter who he meets, the most important one to him will always be missing. That, at least, is what he has assumed until now. Until now, he has been searching—trying, but never believing. His lack of conviction kept it from ever surfacing as his top priority, but in everything he has done, he has been searching on the side.

Not anymore.

He has finally found her. Her face is candy to his eyes, almost as much as her name is music to his ears.

Her name is Wenry Gottlieb.


A/N: Couldn't help myself. I changed the i to an e in Winry because it just seemed...more German, or European, or this-world-ish to me. In addition, and (yes) I did this on purpose, Gottlieb is a German surname that means "God's love." I'm sure any respectable EdWin fan can figure that one out. Anyway, I did get a good suggestion that I might use for #7, but it'll be hard to work out...so I encourage more ideas. Review, because it always helps. Yeah, I do feel like an idiot after saying that, because nobody gives a crap enough to even look at the review button, but it was worth a shot.
