“You stole my cat!” she yelled. “Is this your cat?” Al tried to scoop it back into his bag, starting to feel rather frantic. “We were just trying to take it to the v-” Without any warning, the girl’s fist collided with his nose.

Alphonse attempts to aid a stray cat. It doesn't go as planned.

#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!
