The plot could also involve Ed using her new - found female identity to her advantage in some situations. For example, in a world where people might underestimate a girl in alchemy, she could surprise them with her skills. Or she could use her femininity to gain access to certain places or information that were previously unavailable to her as a boy. This could create all sorts of interesting twists and turns in the story as she navigates the world of alchemy with this secret identity.
One idea could be that as a girl secretly, Ed Elric might face different challenges in the male - dominated alchemist world. Maybe she has to hide her true identity while trying to achieve her alchemical goals.
Well, it depends on what you consider 'good'. Some people might enjoy the darker, more complex take on the characters in these types of fanfics. However, not all fanfic writers are equally skilled. You may need to sift through a few to find one that really grabs you. For example, some might focus more on the psychological aspects of Ed becoming a 'criminal' and his interactions with Envy, while others might be more action - oriented.
One idea could be that Ed has to keep her true gender a secret while on her alchemic adventures to avoid discrimination in a male - dominated alchemic world. Another could be that she forms unique relationships with other characters who might suspect or eventually discover her secret.
Alphonse could be a major supporting character. Since he is Ed's brother, he would be in a unique position to either help her keep the secret or accidentally almost expose it. Winry could also be important. She might be someone Ed could confide in or struggle to keep the secret from, especially if their relationship takes on new dimensions due to Ed's secret gender.
For some, it's the novelty of seeing the characters in a different light. Ed as a criminal is a big departure from his usual heroic self, and his interactions with Envy, a morally ambiguous character, create an interesting dynamic.
'Stormbringer' is very well - known too. The whole concept of Elric's sword and the dark undertones in the story have made it stand out. It's a very intense read with a lot of moral and emotional complexity, which makes it appealing to a lot of readers.
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.
As I said before, without more context, it's difficult to determine who this Big Ed is. He could be anyone from a real - life individual to a fictional character.
