#fma#fmab#alphonse elric#mei chang#may chang#edward elric#scar fma#ling yao#my writing#fma modern au#FINALLY MAY APPEARS IN THE MODERN AU!!#I wanted to introduce her before doing anything else in this au. she needed to be here#not for like grand plot reasons#I just want her and scar to be here#fun fact about a detail that probably only matters to me: I spell her name as May instead of Mei in this fic#because it's pretty common when immigrating for people to have to change their names or at least how they're spelled#so when she immigrated as a kid in this au her name was anglicized as May#meanwhile when I'm writing in a setting closer to canon I use Mei#because that's probably more accurate to how her name would actually be spelled#this is the level of neurotic detail you get when you're a sociolinguist writing fanfic#anyway. hope you guys enjoy! I love my daughter! she's fun to write!
