Behold! The Previously Referenced Angsty Fanart. This lil messy comic is my love letter to @wingsofescape ‘s fanfic.

Pls enjoy

This scene is my own imagined reunion between ed and al after the emotional separation they had in Ch 1 of the fic. Brother!!!!!!!

hey look its me!

(come and see the angst)

[bees-not-boys]

So a while back @ruinsofxerxes​ was talking about this concept where BH Ed and 03 Ed have dreams of one another’s lives, leading to all kinds of chaos. Which then led to me getting hit with an idea and sending in this ask. 

Anyway, today I finally managed to publish the first chapter of that exact story! I’m so excited to post more of this, I’m having an absolutely fantastic time writing it! I hope you can enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

Title: The Other Side

Rating: Teen

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist

Tags/Warnings: Major character death (temporary)

Summary:

In the seven years since Edward Elric had last seen the Gate, he really felt he’d pulled his life together. He’d gotten married, had a couple of kids, and actually managed to settle down. But when his life is thrown into chaos, he finds himself suddenly waking up somewhere he’s never seen before: 1927 Germany.

In the four years since Edward Elric had last seen the Gate, he really felt he’d pulled his life together. He’d managed to get Al adjusted to this world, got an apartment, and even found himself a best friend in Noah. But when his life is thrown into chaos, he finds himself suddenly waking up somewhere familiar: Amestris.

Except… this isn’t his Amestris.

(Also known as “BH Ed and 03 Ed switch bodies and cause chaos in the other’s life.”)

How long do you think it took Zuko to sew the dummy blue spirit mask?

SHIT-

………no way.

NO WAY. IT’S ZUKO ????????

…Well we can’t just leave him here! ???

“Do you think we could’ve been friends, too?”

Aang seems… blindsided by this development, and I can’t say I blame him. I also don’t understand Zuko’s motives completely - I doubt Zuko does, either. This entire conversation, though? It just- strikes me as very sad.

Yeah, that’s about the response I expected. At the end of the day, they’re still enemies.

But Zuko’s thinking…..something. I don’t know what, but I don’t think I’ve seen this expression on him before. Something’s changed.

thanks for sharing those different fan fictions! It’s awesome to get referred to some good ones that I may have never found on my own.

do you make art for fics/fic writers?

Oh absolutely! I love being able to gift the authors a doodle or illustration of mine as a token of my appreciation for the work that they share with the fandom! (in addition to kudos and comments !!!)

here are some recent ones i have been sketching (although there are hundreds more):

Ed (Sylvan) and Ed (Kai/Bigfoot) from @edisacornball / Thornsong's Fic The Other Side . 2003!Ed and BH!Ed meeting and switching bodies?! yes pls. ((in the case of the nicknames for each of the Ed's. if you read the fic you'll understand))

Ed being comforted by Winry while he *spirals* at the despair of how much he looks like Hohenheim and does not resemble their mother. This if from @wingsofescape 's fic "In the Cracks of the Light" which is a fixit fic and it is complex, compelling and angsty and unghhhhhhhh!

Now it is Al's turn to *spiral* in despair. This is a scene from @lotusthewriter / TheRegularWriter 's one shot "Truth" which explores the reason we see Alphonse's long hair cut short at the end of the COS film. // I had fun mirroring the composition of the two sketches since i found that the scenes carried some things in common <3
