Summary
In the midst of eking out a living as a disgraced bodyguard clan, Lan Fan’s small family faces an even greater challenge: as an army marches on Xing, the Emperor decrees that each family must send a man to serve in the country's army. No family is exempt, not even those with crippling scars—such as Lan Fan’s grandfather.
Unwilling to let half of her remaining family die, Lan Fan goes herself, disguised as a man, knowing that death awaits if she is discovered. Along the way, she faces the challenges of difficult royalty, a religious fanatic ushering a country to rebellion, and supernatural powers that no human should possess. And, just maybe, she might be the one who is perfectly poised to stop Xing from toppling into ruin.
(Lan Fan-centric AU based on Disney's Mulan.)

Summary
Star Trek fics that can each be read as stand-alone, but are also intended to feasibly coincide chronologically.
Prepare for the SLOWEST of slow burns. It's going to take literal years (both irl and in the story). End game will be McSpirk.
(Previously titled "Shades of Blue and Gold".)

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. ]
