I have an idea for a very AU FMA fic
It would be a multiparter, so I'm not sure I want to get it started now, but I was interested in knowing if the idea interested anyone else, or if it's only my own twisted mind.
The bunny is this: What if Greed had escaped years earlier, back during the Ishbal war, he'd have the chimeras that were made not long after the start of the war, but not Tucker. Perhaps Kimbly, haven't decided that yet, but probably not. Anyway say he intercepted one of those letters that Ed and Al sent out when their mother was dying and was THERE at the funeral to lure them away, posing as someone that could teach them alchemy and help bring back thier mother. Once he got them in the car (with offers of candy of course), they would be pretty much his. He then raised them for the next 5 years on equal parts coersion and flattery, to be his alchemists to help dispose of Dante and the others. Although they try to run away many times, they are always dragged back.
At one point, convinced if they had their mother back that she would take care of them and rescue them from Greed. At this point they know that they'd be creating a humonculous, but they think that their supirior skills will bring back her soul as well, and that she will will champion them and life will be hunky dory again. Greed interupts their transmutation and Al is shoved out of the circle before he can get sucked into the gate (lucky Al) but Ed loses the arm and leg (cuz automail is cute and makes for good plottage.) An anonymous lackey is lost to the gate instead. (So no invincible Armor Al). Unfortunately, Sloth has no interest in saving her sons and allies herself to Greed instead.
Anyway, the story starts when Ed is 15 and in a fit of desparation starts sneaking letters off to Military command begging for someone to come to thier rescue. Roy Mustang then comes to investigate....
Well... would this be interesting... or just weird.
Ok, would it still be interesting if it were DIRTY?
