Summary
Based on a writing prompt I saw:
https://x.com/KaylaAncrum/status/1748613400010121444
"Man who falls in love with a sphynx and solves her riddles daily, in spite of the threat to his life.
The boon he requests every night is to sleep by her side in the warm sand and wake up safe. As he grows old, then forgetful, she reconfigures her riddles to accept any answer."I took this in my own direction.

Summary
“What do I do with all this hair?” Greed said aloud now that Ling was listening through their ears, and ugh, feeling someone else speak through his mouth was bad enough, but seeing it in the mirror? Awful. Ling’s skin would crawl if he had access to those sensations. “I’m not used to having so much of it,” Greed continued, toying with the bangs hanging over his eyes. “I guess I could just chop it off.”
YOU WILL NOT. Ling raged so suddenly and with such intensity that Greed doubled over, clutching his forehead.
“Agh! For fuck’s sake, kid, I’ve only been alive for a couple hours and you’re already giving me a migraine.” Greed rubbed his forehead and glared at his reflection. “I was kidding, calm down. I won’t cut your hair if it matters so much. Just don’t do that again.”

Nobody Tells Me Nothing by waitineedaname

Summary
The silence in the backseat was so profound that they twisted around just to make sure they hadn’t driven off without Ed somehow. Ed was staring at them, a vein twitching in his forehead. “Greed?” he said.
“Yeah? What, you didn’t expect to see me?” Greed smirked.
“You’re back?” Ed all but screeched.
Ling and Greed’s minds blanked at the same moment, and they came to a sudden realization in unison. If Lan Fan’s sudden inhale beside them was any indication, she had too.
“No one told him,” she said.
Oops.

Summary
“I’m the emperor. I could have a dozen alkahestrists on my doorstep tomorrow if I wanted. What I need, I only trust a couple people with.” He was being cagey, and Alphonse knew it.
“Get to the point, Ling,” Al said, exasperated. Ling’s mouth quirked briefly in a smile, but he remained serious in tone.
“I want you to help me bring Greed back,” Ling said, as though he were commenting on the weather and not talking about something that had haunted him for years. Alphonse stared at him, wide-eyed. A piece of eggplant slipped out from between his chopsticks and splatted on his plate.

the lower heart rate by waitineedaname

Summary
To Greed's surprise, Mei became more than comfortable with him – she actually started seeking him out. Not just when he happened to be the one piloting Ling’s body, but actively asking for him. She’d call him over to show off a new alkahestry technique she’d learned, knowing he’d gleefully cheer her on, or she’d tug on his sleeve to whisper a joke that matched his sense of humor more than Ling’s during formal meetings, or on the rare occasions when she’d bring them gifts from home, she’d make sure to bring two – one for Ling, and one for him.
Despite all that, he was still surprised when she first referred to him as her brother.

Summary
The plan should have been to pose as Wrath’s son to better oversee the youngest of Father’s homunculi.
However—Roy Mustang had risen through the ranks too quickly, and as a potential human sacrifice, he bore closer watching. And perfectly, Mustang’s closest friend was having trouble conceiving with his wife.
So enter Selim, an orphan boy from King Bradley’s hometown who just happened to have gotten lost while coming to Central for the first time and pitifully bumping into Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes.
Maes Hughes adopts Selim, and everything that changes from that.

Summary
Edward Elric regularly lost his artificial limbs, in fights more often than not. This often necessitated creative solutions to problems, a ‘think outside the box’ mentality as it were. Or, perhaps more correctly, a ‘transmute this box into a cannon to explode my opponents’ mentality.
…
Or, some soldiers decide to prank Ed by stealing his spare automail. He does not have spare automail. He shows them exactly why he is to be feared regardless of the number of limbs on his person.

Summary
It’s really never a good time to become abruptly aware of the genre you’re in.
Especially when you’re slated to become a major antagonist in a shounen manga.
Envy is suddenly, terribly, horribly aware of the ink and paper their reality was born from. Of the tropes and the hand of the author and the storytelling concepts of a universe theirs was created to entertain. Of the fact that they have seen passed the fourth wall, and they distinctly did not like what they saw there. Envy knows the future in the shape of animation cells and manga panels and information from a universe they were never meant to be aware of, and they are fairly certain it’s already started to crack their sanity.
(They know how the story ends.
They know how their story ends.
Tears and dust and everything they have ever existed for rendered meaningless. Humiliated and laid bare before beings that should’ve been beneath them, that should’ve lost by all rights, that would’ve lost if the nature of stories didn’t demand victory from the protagonists.
Well, fuck that.)

Or, Envy becomes aware that they're in a manga and decides to tell canon can go fuck itself by becoming a good guy.

Summary
As his party travels to return to Xing, before he can become the proper Emperor of his country, Ling Yao has to deal with a lot – blistering desert treks, nightmares of moving shadows and sharp magenta eyes, midnight brawls against moonlit punching bags, rewriting his country’s classist laws, constant headaches, getting kidnapped, voices in his head – or, perhaps, it’s only one voice.
In any case, ever since Ling left Amestris, there’s been something wrong with him, and it’s only a matter of time before the truth appears, undoubtedly unceremoniously, and drags his slowly-rebuilding world back into the past.

Summary
Riza was four months into thirteen when she woke up, for the first time, with her bedsheets stained with red. She was a little confused, at first. Her mother, long passed, was never there for her to ask questions about… well, girl problems.
Riza had pushed all the confusion to the back of her mind upon waking, and shuffled to the bathroom careful as to not trip on her sheets bundled in her arms.
She kicked the door closed from behind her when she made it inside.
At the sink, she heard a gentle knock at the door.
“Riza?”
It was her father’s apprentice.
“Mister Mustang?” Riza replied, shocked and panicked; she didn’t want him, a boy, to know what had happened.
--Riza experiences the crux of womanhood, but thankfully she has the best friend she could ever have to help her, however mortified she may be.

Summary
He thought he was so much, Zuko thinks, his eyes never leaving the tapestry. He thought he would be remembered for something great.
“When Fire Lord Sozin started the war,” Zuko says, voice surprisingly firm, “he destroyed every piece of history that came before him. He rebuilt the Fire Nation under his image, and by doing that, he rebuilt what qualified as truth. He erased everything he considered weak, everything that could be interpreted as a wrongdoing or a failure. It didn’t fit with his narrative of our country. He thought that by destroying the shame of the past, he’d guarantee the glory of the future. And he was wrong.” Zuko takes a deep breath. “I don’t want to make the same mistake as him.”
Or, what it means to make history. Featuring Toph's enthusiasm for destroying property, Aang being allowed to have negative emotions, and Zuko figuring out life.

Summary
That night, with Appa snoring next to them and Katara snuggled against his shoulder, Aang breathed and counted. He raked his mind for very little tradition, every little custom, everything he could remember about Air Nomad culture. Otherwise, it dies with me, he’d thought, suddenly terrified. It dies with me.
At ten, you become responsible for your own air bison. They’re companions for life. At eleven, each airbending child gets the chance to visit the wenwú shí of their Temple. At twelve, the standards become higher; assisting the air nuns and monks is your top priority. Thirteen, the first taste of travel; at the Eastern Air Temple, the Shēnqíng de hú will be the start of your spiritual journey. Fourteen is the age of enlightenment; with the mastering of your element, the arrows start being drawn over your skin.
It’s a long process, and a sacred one. Each age brings with it something new; with each age, something grows.
Needless to say, Aang hasn’t gotten a lot of experience with that.
Or, Aang never really stops grieving. Featuring Air Nomad culture, birthdays, and a conversation on a rooftop.
