Summary
“First, you get the money. Then you get the power, respect - hos come last.”
Wen Qing traps Wei Wuxian in the Demon Slaughtering Cave, but Wei Wuxian isn’t interested in being the beneficiary of the Wen Remnants’ noble sacrifice. His efforts to free himself accidentally send him back to the beginning of the Sunshot Campaign. Coreless but armed with demonic cultivation, knowledge of the future and his wits, Wei Wuxian takes advantage of this opportunity to come out on top of both the war and its aftermath—before either has a chance to happen—by marrying and swiftly burying the cultivation world’s worst men.
Lan Wangji is confused, hurt, and uncomfortably aroused by Wei Wuxian’s improbably elaborate series of Sect-themed bridal negligees.

Summary
"Remember Tony, remember the name. James Buchanan Barnes. Bucky Barnes. Remember that he saved us. Remember that he will need to be saved someday. And you will be the one who will have to do it."
Maria paused and breathed in shakily, staring right into the eyes of her young boy, who listened to her with rapt attention.
"Remember to save him, Tony. Promise me, you will?"
"I promise, mom," Tony said without hesitation, "I'll save him. Whoever he is, wherever he is, whenever he needs me, I'll save him. I promise."On December 16, 1991, the Winter Soldier killed Howard Stark but couldn't kill his wife when she reminded him of a promise. He ended up saving her and in turn, her son. In return for this, Maria Stark makes a choice, one depending on her Tony. A life for a life, the Stark mother sowed the seeds of saving a man who needed a second chance. Twenty years later, it all comes down to a promise from a son to his mother.

Summary
Work in progress. "Search for the value of that which you seek, for alchemy already knows." Alchemy knew what Edward wanted when his fingertips touched that circle, but Edward did not yet understand how value differs from price, how equivalent differs from equal. The Gate calculates with one small difference, and Trisha Elric lives - but the cost may be too high for Edward to afford.
[ Originally published on FFN 16 June 2009. A very detailed, very slow exploration of the creators' headcanon through Edward's eyes - and sometimes Roy's - with lengthy discourses on alchemical theory, juicy helpings of political intrigue, a few near-death experiences here and there, and maybe an assassination attempt or two. Explores in detail the political and social spheres of Amestris and beyond in the context of Roy's ladder-climbing, aided by Edward's presence as a researcher. You could consider this a fix-it, but it's more like a highly involved worldbuilding reboot. Long-running, takes time between updates, but chapters are 20-30k long. Be prepared to indulge and suspend your disbelief. Leave canon at the doorstep; this is something else entirely. ]
