FMA Recs

Okay, now I know the percentage of you who hang out around here and HAVEN'T read this is small but..

GO READ sky_dark's fic: The Adventures of Roy Mustang: Sex Ed Teacher (NC-17, NOT WORKSAFE)
Link takes you to part 9. Other parts are linked at top of post.

While technically a Roy/Ed fic, Sky's work goes far beyond that. It encompasses office idioticy at its finest and the interplay between minor characters as well as major characters will leave you rolling on the floor. And never fear Al fans! Despite the pairing, Al remains a constant part of Ed's life and is in fact often far more aware of what's going on than his brother. The dynamics in ths fic make it a must read for any FMA fan, provided you can be tolerant of the pairing.

The premise of the fic is rather simple: Edward Elric begins taking Sex "lessons" from Roy Mustang. Ed may be a progeny in Alchemy but he most certainly is a novice in this field and sky_dark pulls no punches. The lessons are often awkward (and sometimes painful for the "teacher") and very realistic. In fact, the fic could probably carry a subtitle: Bad Sex fic. But it isn't just about sex; the relationship covers far more than that, flipping between sex, angst, crack and fluff in a matter of paragraphs. Over all, one of the most satisfying "Roy and Ed get together" fics ever. (And lucky for us, there's no end in sight!)

Even more amazing, this is sky_dark's first fiction. She is more known for her icons (housed at skycons. Her talent is incredible, and she only started in Feburary this year.) in the FMA fandom. We're very glad she decided to try her hand out at writing.

And if you're still with me after reading that long mess...

Check out kytyngurl2's fan fiction!

kytyngurl2 is also new to writing. She only started writting at the beginning of this year, yet has shown great talent. She's known for her Roy/Ed fanfiction, but has written several gen fics and a few het fics as well as writing for various comms. Her fanfiction can be found HERE. Go tell her how much her work rocks yourself. She won't believe me. : )

There are far too many authors in this fandom who think too little of themselves - including you ^_^ Your writing pwns XD

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Always better than thinking too MUCH of yourself I guess. You never get better that way.

Pot Kettle, btw. *Heaps praise on you too*
