HoS: Superstitious

Set after "First Day of Spring" dealing with the tradition that I-thought-I-made-up-but-didn't-really (which still freaks me out)



Superstitious

Riza had fallen asleep on the couch again.

Roy shook his head and carefully shifted the pregnant woman into a more comfortable position. The males of the house unanimously decided to leave the room so they could continue their discussion without waking her.

As they walked into the library, Roy felt his eyes fall on a dried garland lovingly mounted on the wall. It had been well over three months since the Elric brothers had presented it to Riza. The Flame Alchemist spoke his next words without thought. “I never though of you as the superstitious kind.”

Ed frowned at the comment. It took him a few minutes to figure out what Roy meant. “Oh.”

“He’s right,” Masuta observed. He had long ago noted Ed’s tendency to ignore traditions. At first he had thought the older Elric simply hadn’t been aware of them in his old world, but Ed had done it several times here as well. And the alchemist was a self proclaimed atheist.

“Father didn’t believe in it either at first,” Alphonse looked wishful.

Masuta raised an eyebrow. “He didn’t give one to your mother?”

“Oh he did,” Al smiled remembering. “Mother used to show them to us. They were some of her favorite possessions.”

“Then-”

“We could’ve had an older sister you know.” Three dark eyes turned in shock to Ed. “Adora Elric.”

Al looked solemn. “Mother miscarried. After that…”

“It might be silly,” Ed stared at the garland, “but it’s worth a little work for peace of mind.”

“I’m sorry,” Roy apologized.

“Not your fault. Sometimes I wonder-” What if things had been different? What if Adora had survived? What if they hadn’t been alone when their mother died? Ed shook his head. “Never mind. It’s not important. Now, what were you saying about the spy network?”

Note: Adora is Latin, meaning Beloved One. Trisha is also Latin, meaning of noble descent.


Hm, thats the end of stuff I had written for HoS on the file. Will have to go write more

LOL, did my chimera!fic thing over in the comm bother you? :D You said something about Tucker there too...

[identity profile] bard-linn.livejournal.com 2005-02-20 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Didn't bother ME. I think I might have tramuitized Lanerose though. I pointed out that she put them together which made her tucker. *evil grin*

::glares pointedly at [livejournal.com profile] bard_linn::

Your comment I was fine with. ::nodnodnod:: ^-^ It's what [livejournal.com profile] bard_linn said thereafter that has me upset. ::nodnodnod:: Indeed!

::goes back to twitching::

*Linn only smiles amused at said glare pointed her way.* I suppose you want me to make it up to you? Pray tell what you want.

And as for writing, I don't really know, seeing as I'm currently buried under massive homework assignments. ::goes back to pubpol readings::

[personal profile] lanerose 2005-02-20 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Ditto!!! That's exactly what I have. O______o ... there's something almost frightening about that...

Poor HoS... it'll be so quiet this week! XD Or are you still going to manage a drabble a day? Cause that would be hella impressive. ::nodnodnod::

[identity profile] kytyngurl2.livejournal.com 2005-02-20 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It has been quiet. :(

Sorry I keep bothering you on AIM in my boredom!

[personal profile] lanerose 2005-02-20 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No worries!! When I'm on AIM, I *want* to be bothered. XD

Hence why I'm not on now. This way I at least get *some* work done. XDDDD

[identity profile] kytyngurl2.livejournal.com 2005-02-20 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh heh.

Well, good luck with the work! :)

[identity profile] bard-linn.livejournal.com 2005-02-20 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
So far I have. Springs tommorow, this one's tuesday's. I'm jumping back into the Lg universe today (between subjects) so we'll see some stuff from that too.
I'm trying to hunt out some small fic ideas. They keep trying to be humongus. And Hime's challenge didn't help. That completely cut my writtting hours on Friday.
(she's afraid HoS is going to get bigger than A!S. Thats why she did that! *nods*)

[identity profile] kytyngurl2.livejournal.com 2005-02-20 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm afraid HOS will get bigger than A!S. :/

...not that I'm helping or anything. Er.

::had the same exact thought about Hime::

And if you're really desperate for ideas, pick a couple numbers and I can throw you a few brief bunnies... and then when I write them too, we can create Martel et. al. ^.~ ::hides::

[identity profile] kytyngurl2.livejournal.com 2005-02-20 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Um... 10, 3, and 15!

*hopes Hime-sama isn't really po-ed*

....

No, I think that about covers it.

... ::twitches:: Not Tucker! No! ::twitches::

[identity profile] kytyngurl2.livejournal.com 2005-02-20 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Tucker killed Nina obviously.

But then again, Scar helped.

OMG, you are Scar!

[identity profile] bard-linn.livejournal.com 2005-02-20 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, if we were merging Nina and Alexander, Lanerose's fic had to be Nina, which made mine Alexander..which makes me the dog's mother.

....You just called yourself 'a dog's mother' y'know... :D

[identity profile] bard-linn.livejournal.com 2005-02-20 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
yes I was well aware of that. But it puts me in good company. (Trisha for one. ^_^)
