Well, 'Journey with Edward' is quite good. It starts with the reader accidentally getting involved in Edward's alchemical pursuits. The story unfolds in a way that shows the growth of their relationship. 'Under the Same Sky' is also worth checking out. It has a slow - burn relationship aspect that is really appealing. And 'Alchemy of the Heart' is great as it combines elements of mystery and romance within the context of the Edward Elric x Reader scenario.
One popular one is 'A New Beginning'. It beautifully captures Edward's character while creating an engaging relationship with the reader. Another great option is 'The Alchemist's Heart' which delves deep into the emotions and adventures that can occur in such a relationship. There's also 'Bonds of Gold' that has a unique take on how Edward and the reader interact in a world full of alchemy.
Edward's intelligence. He is a brilliant alchemist. A fanfic could explore how he shares his knowledge with the reader, perhaps teaching the reader alchemy. This could lead to some really interesting adventures where they use alchemy to solve problems in their world. And the reader could also bring out a different side of Edward as he gets closer to someone who is not as experienced in alchemy as he is.
Characterization is key. Edward's traits like his determination, his insecurities about his body after the alchemy incident, etc. should be well - represented. Also, the reader character should be relatable. If it's a modern - day reader thrown into the Fullmetal Alchemist world, how they adapt and interact with Edward matters a great deal. It should also have a good plot. Maybe they are on a quest together, or facing a common enemy. This gives more depth to their relationship and makes the story more engaging.
There's 'Edward and Winry: The Unspoken Love'. In this fanfiction, the story takes place after the main events of the series. It shows how Edward and Winry are slowly realizing their deeper feelings for each other. It's filled with cute moments like when Edward tries to help Winry in her workshop but ends up making a bit of a mess. It also has some emotional scenes where they talk about their past and the losses they've endured, which only strengthens their bond.
One interesting Edward Elric death fanfiction could be 'The End of the Alchemist's Journey'. In this fic, Edward sacrifices himself in a final alchemical battle to save his world from a great evil. The story delves deep into the emotions of his friends and family after his death, showing how his sacrifice impacts them. It's a bittersweet tale that really explores the themes of sacrifice and the consequences of his actions throughout the series.
Some fanfics to check out are 'Brotherly Love in Amestris'. This one takes a more in - depth look at their relationship within the context of the Amestris world. It shows how their love for each other is a driving force. 'The Elric Brothers' Growth' is also a good read. It follows their development as individuals and as a duo. It shows how they grow together and learn from each other. Also, 'Edward and Alphonse: A Bond Beyond Alchemy' is interesting as it explores their relationship outside of the typical alchemy - related events.
One popular theme is adventure. Since Edward is an alchemist, many fanfictions involve the reader joining him on his alchemical quests, facing dangerous foes and solving mysteries together. Another theme is friendship. Stories might show how the reader and Edward gradually become close friends, sharing secrets and supporting each other through difficult times.
One great Edward Elric fanfiction is 'Fullmetal Alchemist: The New Adventure'. It delves deeper into Edward's post - series life, exploring his relationships and how he continues to use his alchemy skills. Another good one is 'Edward's Unseen Journeys' which focuses on the parts of his travels that were not shown in the original story. It gives a more in - depth look at his character growth during those times.
I really like 'Edward Elric: Unforeseen Bonds'. In this fanfic, the relationship between the reader and Edward develops in a very natural way. It starts from a chance encounter and gradually blossoms into a deep connection. There are a lot of emotional moments that make it a great read.
One great fanfiction could be 'The Pain of Alchemy' where Edward endures a series of physical and emotional hurts during a dangerous mission. Another might be 'Scars of Edward' which delves deep into his internal struggles as he gets injured and has to face his own limitations.
There might be some out there, but 'lemon' fanfictions often contain inappropriate content. It's better to focus on the more positive and plot - driven fanfictions about Edward Elric. For example, those that explore his journey to regain his body or his relationships in a more family - friendly and emotional way.
