I don't like Elricest. I don't I don't I don't. It's possible for two boys to be deeply devoted to each other without fucking. Especially if they're brothers. Besides, Roy/Ed is so much more fun.

But...

I have to rec two Ed/Al fics by Kinslayer. The only reason I read them was because I loved Kinslayer's Daisuke/Ken Digimon fics, and even though the pairing itself is usually not my thing, I really enjoyed her fics. If you're interested, they are:

These Fatal Moments of Your Nearness. "The game of unpacking in the guest room, as if he intended to sleep there, was part of Edward's homecoming ritual, a ritual of pretending that he didn't want Alphonse." (NC17)

By Sightless Lightning. "Edward and guilt were old friends. He didn't let it get in his way for long." (NC17. WARNING: Dubious consent that borders on non-con. All kinds of creepy in this fic, but Kinslayer is one of the few authors who can pull it off.)


In other news, my brother finally puked and is now feeling better. Poor kid has never really had a bad headache before and didn't know what to do. :( Man, by the time I was his age I'd been getting regular headaches for years. Lucky for him, though, one Tylenol kicked most of it.

Ranting because I'm such a Fullmetal Alchemist junkie. Seriously, I'm loosing sleep and chewing my lip off looking for new fanfic. This is a sad, sad day.

What the hell is it with people posting part of a fic -- say, chapter 25 -- and not giving any links to the previous parts? And beyond that, not listing anything on their LJ or website or anything. I want to read this fic...and since it's being posted publicly to several different communities, I assume the author wants it to be read. But it would be so much easier if there was just nice little link. Because as good as the fic is, and as needy as I am right now, starting at chapter 25 is just not cool.

I must give props to the Touka Koukan archive, though. It's exactly what I want in an archive...pretty to look at, easy to navigate, wonderfully organized. When archives separate fics by genre, rating, and pairing (not just the typical author and title), they get my eternal love and devotion.

I want to write FMA fanfiction, but I've promised myself that I'll a) wait until the newbie fangirlness wears off and I can see clearly, and b) I've seen the majority of the show. But I am itching to have a go at Roy/Ed. The plotbunnies, they chew at my ears and squeak beautiful snark.

Edit: And I found the rest of the fic! I'm a happy girl, albeit a stupid girl who should really work on her observation and reading comprehension skills.

Yeah, I'm a total addict. I went through all of Sleeps With Coyote's FMA fanfic (and her X-files fic, and her PotC fic) and fell in love over and over again. Her Roy is wonderful. My favorite so far is the "Altered States" series (Albedo, Citrinitas, and Rubedo), a Roy/Ed WIP. Very NC17...the sex is the plot, without it being a PWP. Really good, very creative...guess I have a kink for sex rituals that I didn't know I had.

Another author I'm very into is Harukami. I think my favorite FMA fic of hers so far is Housewarming (co-written with WhiteCat), a NC17 Roy/Ed first time fic. I'm a sucker for first times, especially one as well done as this fic.

Roy/Ed has become one of those really obsessive OTPs for me. In most fandoms, I really don't care what the pairing is as long as the fic is good, but so far, FMA is about the Roy/Ed, and I just can't read them with anyone else. Totally pathetic. Last time I felt this way was over Mulder/Scully when I was 13. Alas. I'm regressing. Probably as I watch more of the show and branch out in the fandom, I'll get comfortable with not Roy/Ed fics...but not right now. Luckily, this fandom is very obliging. :)

Oh, for the childfree stuff...well, I left the childfree community. The idea behind it is good, and I identify with the childfree philosophy (don't want to have kids by choice), but the community is just...mean. And it takes over my entire flist with posts that are 99% stupid, selfish, or just gross. Occasionally there's an interesting discussion or link, but it's not worth the irritation I have to wade through to get to it. I guess I'm getting tired of internet bitching...why I probably will be taking fanficrants off my flist soon, too.

It should be against the law to get addicted to a new series when you're broke. *sob* Fullmetal Alchemist is eating my soul right now. I've only seen eps 1-8 and random shows on Cartoon Network, but I was up until 4 spoiling myself like a crazy person. Well, and reading fanfiction. :)

( FMA gushing )

I'm late to the FMA, which is nice because a fandom this old (OMG, two years) has a lot of established fanfiction. I'm in love with Sleeps With Coyote's fanfic...her Roy/Ed (absolutely my FMA OTP) is incredible.

Well, I'm off to waste more time surfing for fics.
