I came up with this idea one night when I was thinking about songs that are sung by Vic Mignogna (Ed's voice actor). This was the result. I hope that it suits.


Nothing I Won't Give-Ed's Song

Edward Elric sat in his bedroom in his friend Winry Rockbell's house. He was alone. His brother, Alphonse and Winry were out in Central picking up ingredients for dinner that night.

While they were away, Ed had found a guitar in one of Winry's closets. Knowing how to play guitar a little bit, Ed found himself messing around with it and strumming the six strings. (AN: It's an electric guitar, BTW)

Knowing that nobody else was home, Ed decided to remix his own song. He didn't really trust his singing voice, but, hey, nobody was around. So, Ed thought of the most influential event in his life and he quickly designed a song.

Haunted by the past
A nightmare that seemed so unreal
I wish that I could turn back time
And spare the pain that we both feel
And now we've changed
Things will never be the same
(Things will never be the same)

We were foolish then
But our trials served to make us strong
The burdens are not yours alone
We've sought the answers for so long
But they're not free
They cost you more than they cost me
(My brother…)

I promise you, there is nothing I won't give
To see this through
Return the soul to where it lives
I promise you, I'd go everywhere I've been
To find a way to make atonement for my sin and see
See your smiling face again

When we've paid the price at last
And we are whole once more
Life will be the way it was
The way it was before the day
She slipped away
Together we'll redeem that day

And I promise you, there is nothing I won't give
To see this through
Return the soul to where it lives
I promise you, I'd go everywhere I've been
To find a way to make atonement for my sin and see
See your smiling face…

(I promise…)
(I promise…)
(I promise…)
(I promise…)

I promise you, there is nothing I won't give
To see this through
Return the soul to where it lives
I promise you, I'd go everywhere I've been
To find a way to make atonement for my sin and see
See your smiling face again

Unbeknownst to Ed, Winry and Al had arrived home, and they went upstairs to ask Ed if he wanted to help prepare dinner. They heard the middle of Ed's song, and they listened until the end.

The song lyrics made Winry tear up. "Al, I think that your brother's song is about you," Winry whispered to the suit of armor.

Al nodded. "Yeah."

Winry knocked on the door and walked in, followed by Al. Ed looked up, seeing his brother and best friend. "Al, Winry, what're you doing back?"

"We finished, Brother," Al told him.

"That was a really sweet song, Ed. I didn't know that you could sing," Winry told him.

"I couldn't always sing, but I found that it was a good way to let my feelings out. Although, it is more fun to beat the crap out of 'that man' or Colonel Bastard."

"Ed, will you do an encore?" Winry asked her friend.

Ed was confused. "What d'ya mean, Winry?"

"Ed, will you sing another song? Please."


This is a four-shot. (Whoa! Creative word there!) I guess that I probably should say "mini-series" but I like my word better. I mean, hey, you can have two-shots, so why not four-shots.

Vic Mignogna sings the first two songs. The third song is some random song from my website, and the last song will be from Metallica.

I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE SONGS OR ANYTHING FROM FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST. ALL BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CREATORS.
