Big Bang fic: Notorious
*puts on pimp hat*
This was written for fma_big_bang. There have been many awesome fma_big_bang fics. Allow me to guarantee the awesomeness of a few (which, uh, I may have illustrated and/or betaed all or bits of):
Miss the Girl (Ed/Win, Al/Paninya, Roy/Riza, ensemble) by evil_little_dog: a post-manga thriller with lots of subtle character moments, nice worldbuilding and wonderfully tense UST between Ed and Win.
Haunted By Water (Roy/Riza/Maes, the Elrics, Madam Christmas (YAY), ensemble, NC-17) by cornerofmadness: plotty mystery, gritty police procedural, delicious Roy/Riza/Maes goodness and a hilariously bratty twelve-year-old Ed
No Sound of Water (Ling/Ran Fan, Fuu, PG-13) by mah beta enemytosleep: desert survival, vivid and lovely Xing flashbacks, swordfighting, UST, a wonderfully brattish little Ling, conspiracy, grumpy Ran Fan, harem girls and fermented horse's milk. If you liked Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, off you go to read this now.
Turn and Turn Again (Roy/Ed, R) by nyagosstar: part of her awesomesauce Bitter 'verse (post-anime), lovely political conspiracy, the boys on top badass form and Ed being brilliant with alchemy. Yay!
Two of Us (Roy/Ed, PG-13) by pandoraculpa: post-manga Roy and Ed enjoy bromance with a side of crackling UST, which goes to complicated places, nicely complex and subtle relationship stuff.
*doffs pimp hat, and waves it a la Kimbley*
Title: Notorious
Beta: the marvellous and very patient enemytosleep
Artists: he03 and enemytosleep. Please do give enemy's adorable Roy illo some love at her lj here, and check out he03's Deviantart account here for more awesomeness and a delightful metric ton of Bradley love.
Word Count: 19812
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Madam Christmas aka Chris Mustang, Roy Mustang (aged four), Grumman
Warnings: gangsters, innuendo, sleaze, dominoes and a lot of jazz age slang
Summary: Twenty-five years ago ... Chris Mustang is having a very bad month. The censors killed her show, she's in debt to a couple of very dubious businessmen, and she's working as a hostess in the worst bar in town. As if that wasn't enough, her estranged big brother seems to have gotten himself in an auto accident, and some nut decided to make her guardian of his four year old brat.
Notes: Written for the 2009-2010 FMA Big Bang Challenge. Spoilers for Madam Christmas's relationship to Roy, as revealed in Chapter 89 of the manga, and more spoilers for the further details of that relationship in Character Guidebook 3. Details of the latter here
Chapter One: in which bad news comes in threes, and Chris gets an unwanted gift.
Chapter Two: in which Roy flirts with his first waitress, and Chris meets a woman of means.
Chapter Three: in which Grumman shows his hand, and Chris decides if she should buy herself into the game.
Epilogue: in which Chris takes on a new career in a new town.
ETA: poor old he03 had a computer meltdown in March, which delayed illo plans. She sent me this fabulous little comic she did for Notorious, though. Look!
