One possible plot could be that Edward, now as a girl, has to deal with the different reactions of his friends. For example, Alphonse might be a bit confused at first but quickly adapts and becomes very protective. Edward could also face new challenges in his alchemical studies as some traditional alchemy is male - dominated. And he might have to struggle with his own self - identity, trying to figure out if he still has the same goals and values as before the transformation.
Perhaps a new alchemist who is jealous of Edward's skills, even in his new form. This antagonist might see Edward as a girl as an easy target to discredit. They could spread rumors about how Edward's transformation has made him less capable in alchemy, when in fact it's just their way of trying to undermine him.
Obviously, Edward Elric himself is the central character in this type of fanfiction. His brother Alphonse might also be a common character, often trying to help Edward deal with his new situation. Winry Rockbell could be there too, perhaps having a different kind of relationship with Edward now that he is a girl. There might also be the appearance of some of the villains from the original story, who could either take advantage of Edward's new form or be involved in the reason why he turned into a girl in the first place.
Well, perhaps there's a plot where Edward, as a girl, has to keep his true identity a secret. This could lead to some really tense and comical situations. Like when his friends from before start showing different kinds of interest in him, not knowing it's really Edward. And he has to figure out how to interact with them without giving away his secret while also trying to find a way to turn back into his original self.
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.
One great 'cute Edward Elric fanfic' is 'A Day in the Life of Edward'.

A cute Edward Elric fanfic often has him in non - serious situations. For example, when he's interacting with small animals or children. His clumsy attempts at normal, everyday things can also be really cute, like trying to sew or bake. When the author shows his softer side, especially his love for his brother Alphonse, it adds to the cuteness factor.
One common theme is the change in relationships. For example, her relationship with Roy Mustang might be different as a girl. Another theme is the struggle against gender stereotypes in the world of alchemy.
One common theme is innocence. Since it's about baby Edward, his innocence is often explored. How he views the world without the full understanding of the harshness that will come later.
Well, there's 'Female Edward's Adventure'.
