As always, I do not, nor will I ever own anything associated with Fullmetal Alchemist, aside from a few volumes of the manga and the DVDs of the series and movie. If I actually were Hiromu Arakawa, I'd be a much wealthier woman.
I have two more couples I can work with on this project, so if you want me to continue, let me know.
I'm drawing on a combination of the manga and anime here, so bear with me, folks.
Edward Elric and Winry Rockbell
#01 - Air
The first time he came home after he'd joined the army, one of their neighbors made a comment about his height; it was a wonder the air hadn't turned blue from the kind of language he used in retaliation.
#02 - Apples
The tree in their backyard bore fruit every fall, and he would always pick the apples and throw them down to her.
#03 - Beginning
The little girl from next door howled in pain when his son pulled her pigtail, then picked up her toy wrench and started beating him over the head with it; Hohenheim recognized it as the start of a beautiful friendship.
#04 - Bugs
Her very first piece of automail had had so many bugs in its design that he had taken one look at it and laughed, and she couldn't help but join him.
#05 - Coffee
He knew for sure he was home when he heard her puttering around in her workshop and smelled Grandma Pinako's coffee brewing downstairs in the kitchen.
#06 - Dark
Before they'd tried to bring their mother back, he'd always liked the dark, but now, he always kept a candle and a box of matches at his bedside...just in case.
#07 - Despair
When she got word that he had disappeared, her fear for his safety gave way to despair at his death; she locked herself in her room, cried for a week, and scared the hell out of her grandmother.
#08 - Doors
He couldn't blame her for wanting to go to Rush Valley; an apprennticeship there would give her opportunities that she wouldn't have if she stayed in Resembool.
#09 - Drink
Wherever his strange new friend had come from, Alfonse decided, he had definitely left a girl behind; whenever he drank too much, he always ended up crying over her loss.
#10 - Duty
She wondered why and how he had developed the loyalty to his commanding officer, but when she saw the two of them dragging bodies out of a burning building with no regard to their own safety, she started to understand.
#11 - Earth
The arcs of blue lightning and the earthenware hands clutching the two of them as they struggled to get free were for her solid indicators that the two brothers had been fighting again.
#12 - End
She had never known whether she would be there to see the end of their journey, but she was glad that he wasn't alone when it came.
#13 - Fall
As she watched the strange ship fall out of the sky, she prayed that wherever he landed - whether it was this world or the other one - that he would be safe.
#14 - Fire
The fever was burning him from the inside out, leaving him shivering and wracked with pain and nightmares; she and Alphonse were the only witnesses to his suffering.
#15 - Flexible
He knew she didn't want to marry a man shorter than she was, but he always hoped that she might change her mind someday.
#16 - Flying
When he told her she was beautiful, he was high as a kite on morphine after his automail surgery, and claimed he didn't remember a thing when he came out of it.
#17 - Food
It always amazed her that he could eat as much as he did and never gain an ounce, while she had to count every calorie if she wanted to keep her figure.
#18 - Foot
When his foot literally broke off at the ankle as he started to run off after Alphonse, she had to smile; two years later, he was still breaking his automail.
#19 - Grave
If she had gone to them, joined them at their mother's grave after the funeral, she liked to think that maybe things would have turned out diffferently.
#20 - Green
When Sciezka saw how the two of them were together, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
#21 - Head
When the ship turned into that ridiculous caricature of his face - complete with antenna - she wasn't sure whether to laugh at his audacity or cry with relief, although there wasn't time to do either.
#22 - Hollow
The night an empty suit of armor that spoke with Alphonse's voice showed up clutching him, unconscious and bleeding, in its arms, was one of the worst nights of her life.
#23 - Honor
Mustang knew there was no honor in using children to obtain his goals; he just hoped that the boy and his family could someday forgive him for it.
#24 - Hope
Every time they left, she would always pray to whatever gods watched over her and them that they would return to her in one piece.
#25 - Light
There was a lot of his father there in his personality, and he was always afraid that he would do to her what Hohenheim did to his mother.
#26 - Lost
When he got back to the dorm that night, he had a bad case of the shakes; if she'd pulled the trigger and killed Scar, he knew he'd have lost her for sure.
#27 - Metal
Automail had been a running motif in her life because her grandmother worked with it all the time; she had never dreamed it would be part of his.
#28 - New
If he had been able to tear himself away from his books and his alchemy long enough to notice she was actually female, it might have put an entirely new spin on their relationship.
#29 - Old
Winry had always hoped that they would have what their parents hadn't - to get married, have kids, and grow old and die together - but somehow she knew that was never meant to be.
#30 - Peace
Pinako watched as the the two brothers brawled in the yard and her granddaughter yelled at them for fighting with her automail, and just shook her head; life with those three might not have been peaceful, but it certainly was interesting.
#31 - Poison
They'd administered the antidote and stablized his conditon by the time Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Hawkeye arrived, so she let herself relax enough to laugh when the doctor adressed them as Mr. and Mrs. Elric...and they actually responded.
#32 - Pretty
She had always been oblivious to her looks, but he had always thought she was the prettiest girl he knew.
#33 - Rain
He'd been so deep in thought he hadn't noticed the rain until it stopped falling on him; she'd been holding the umbrella over the both of them for the past five minutes.
#34 - Regret
He would always regret having not brought her with him to this new world, but he'd at least gotten to see her one last time before the Gate closed forever.
#35 - Roses
He never transmuted flowers for her; the first time he presented her with a bouquet of pink roses, he made a point of telling her, "They're real."
#36 - Secret
That the two of them were head over heels for each other was one of the best-kept non-secrets in Resembool; they were the only two in the village who didn't know.
#37 - Snakes
Putting the snakes in the pockets of her coveralls had seemed like a good prank at the time, but the joke turned out to be on him; she fussed over them, petted them, and put them back in the garden, then yelled at him for abusing the poor things.
#38 - Snow
The Elric-Rockbell snowball fights had been epic battles ever since they were children; they escalated to the point of legendary once the two brothers started studying alchemy and she learned the basics of automail construction.
#39 - Solid
"Don't ask," was all he would say when she asked how his automail had become a solid, vaguely arm-shaped lump of iron.
#40 - Spring
He cackled as she went down on her hands and knees looking for the spring that had ricocheted across the room from the depths of his automail.
#41 - Stable
His advice had given her an insight into her best friend and his brother that she hadn't had before, but she had to wonder if Mr. Hughes was speaking from first-hand experience.
#42 - Strange
She stared for a long moment at the abstract sculpture that had once been his arm before she asked the question, "What the hell did you do to my automail this time?"
#43 - Summer
The end of their childhood came on a summer night when it wouldn't stop raining; after that, all three of them had had to grow up in a very short time.
#44 - Taboo
Human transmutation was a violation of Amestrian law and the laws of nature; she didn't fully understand why until the night her friends tried to bring their mother back from the dead.
#45 - Ugly
His search had taken a lot of ugly turns in a very short time, but the worst came when the homonculi had the gall to threaten her.
#46 - War
When the soldiers came to talk to them, the lieutenant colonel made joining the army sound so reasonable, but she knew that he would eventually lead her two best friends down the same road that had killed her parents.
#47 - Water
Alphonse always went to sit by the river when he was in a funk, but she always looked for him in a tree or on a roof when he was brooding.
#48 - Welcome
He always knew that no matter what happened, she and her grandmother would always be there to welcome them home.
#49 - Winter
Her name came from the coldest season of the year, but she always reminded him of the summer.
#50 - Wood
Even as she watched them start to throw dirt on the small oak casket, she refused to believe that he was dead.
