"Maybe a man has to sell his soul to get the power to do good." - All the King's Men

Welcome!

I am Very Swampeh, as you might have already noticed.

Anyway, I'm a 18-year-old female senior, trying to stay sane while surviving high school. It's not working. D:

Oh well.

I'm a Fullmetal Alchemist angst/tragedy/drama junkie. Any fics where Ed dies/gets seriously ill/fatally wounded is my kind of stuff. I just can't get enough of it...
If you've written a nice angsty fic or know of one, send me a message! Chance are, I'll read it.

I use the manga as canon more than the anime. The ending of the anime and the movie really did not float my boat, so I turned to the manga (which is 100 times better, plot-wise). I ship EdWin, AlMei, Royai, LingFan, OlivierMiles, and HavocRebecca. Sure, Rebecca only showed up for one or two chapters, but she already knew Havoc and I think they'd be cute together :D

With the anime, I tend to ship EdRose and AlWin. Not really sure why, but there aren't that many girls out there for Al. And Ed seemed really protective of Rose and her baby during the anime.

I really can't stand Elricest. It's just... No. They do love each other, but not like that. I feel the same way about Edvy. It gives me shivers just thinking about it. I tolerate RoyEd, if it's well-written. BeautifulFiction has some wonderful RoyEd stuff; even if you don't like the pairing, you still get caught up in her stories!

Some of my other fandoms include Harry Potter, the Warriors series, the Inheritance Cycle, Pirates of the Caribbean, most Disney movies, Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's, Kingdom Hearts I and II, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Mentalist, D.Gray-Man, and the Bartimeaus Trilogy.

Story Descriptions and Status

- Reconstruction: This fic is, at the moment, my big project. It's the 100 EdWin Themes Challenge turned into one long happy (sometimes angsty) post-manga story! Joy. The chapters are meant to be short and to the point; kind of like a bit-sized one-shot for you. I'm trying to make the situations realistic and I would really like ideas for future chapters. So don't feel shy about suggesting something ;D ALSO! I won't be writing any very descriptive about the love-fests; you'll just have to imagine those parts for yourself. 30/100 chapters posted.

- Tenebrae: My wonderful, angsty, AU manga ending death fic. This one has longer chapters than Reconstruction, but it will probably only be about 8 chapters long, if that. This one's a little over-dramatic and there's not really any EdWin; it's centered more around Parental!RoyxEd with some brotherly angst thrown in. It gets pretty graphic and disturbing at times, but I put up warnings for those chapters. I'm trying to get this one done so I can focus on Recontruction. 8/8 chapters posted- Complete! --> Epilogue being worked on

- Pie of Surprise: And I thought I only liked writing angst! This was just a little idea that came to me while I was doing homework one night. The release of Chapter 89 of the manga got me all excited, so I wrote it in celebration xD EdWin + Pie = Yay! 1/1 chapters posted- Complete!

- Snapped: More angst, though this time it's Roy-centric. Chapter 93 was beyond epic, so I wrote it out with a little addition of what I thought might happen right after the chapter ended. Just kind of popped into my brain and wouldn't let go. 1/1 chapters posted- Complete!

- Epic of a Chibi Kitty: It lives! I'm starting to work on this again, though it will not be updated as frequently as my other stories. This is my attempt at kitty-fying the FMA cast and making a plausible Warriors storyline. Set post-New Prophecy, ignoring The Power of Three plotline, though using some of the cats and the setting. Characters come from both animes and the manga. 8/? chapters posted

- Office Furniture: Short one-shot about Roy and Olivier's "dispute" over the Fuhrership. Not serious, but it would be nothing short of amazing if the manga did play out that way. Humor, spoilers for chapter 97. 1/1 chapters posted- Complete!

You can find me all over the place!
