1 :: This was the one I found last night that just made me go "WOW". The detail is amazing, and I really love the image the artist chose to put in the Pokeball. I also really like the size of the ball, and the heavy feel of the steel. It's perfect for an Ed Pokeball.
2 :: This one is not quite as detailed as the first one, but it's very nicely handled, and too funny not to share it anyway.
As with most images that I post, you can click on them to either view them full size, or in this case the link will take you to the source so you can download it full size. The second one, does require a login/register. That said, I tried to register and found that I already was and I didn't even remember it. I don't ever get anything from them or anything. Anyway, hope you all enjoy.
Mostly because it has little flashes of LJ userpics, some of which I RECOGNISE as those of many of my friends who also write FMA Fanfiction. I really laughed though, when I realised that one of them was MINE that I had specifically modified from a similar one I'd seen.

Warnings: Well, there's some innuendo and suggestive teasing, and a little kissing too. It's mistletoe after all. Prompt: "Team Mustang's New Year's Eve Party. Hijinks, foolishness and drunken declarations of eternal brotherhood ensue. Timeline: any time in manga canon, from pre-Chapter 1 to post-Chapter 108". Author's Note: I missed the Canon. This is written in 1st AV+CoS including Chasing the Trail Canon because I did not see/remember that part of the prompt until after the work was done and I was presenting. Thankfully the recipient did not mind. Beta:evil_little_dog Thanks!

Previously: Edward Elric is sick with an infection in his shoulder port wakens from a strange nightmare to find Winry and his brother are safe and still looking after him. He’s improving, but still feverish and weak.
Edward roused while they were easing him into bed. Winry took that opportunity to have him drink more water. After Edward was finished, she sent Alphonse to get more in a clean glass so they would have it handy when Edward wanted it again. Winry was pleased to note that, to the touch, Edward’s fever had gone down. Still, she slid the thermometer under his tongue just to be sure he wasn’t slipping down too far. Though he wasn’t entirely asleep, Winry could tell by the way he toyed unconsciously with the thermometer that Edward wasn’t too alert, either. She stroked his hair to keep him with her enough that he didn’t bite down on the glass or work it out from where it needed to be. “There now,” she whispered, when enough time had passed and she could take it out to read it. Just under a hundred. Well that was safe enough. Winry set the thermometer aside and tucked the blankets up around Edward’s shoulders before bending to kiss his cheek.
“Tucking him in?” The deep voice behind her sounded amused.( Collapse )
I am currently behind on LJ. NO... I will NOT be catching up on it until I have read FMA Chapter 108. Why? Because even in scanning titles, people are posting SPOILERS in the descriptions of their short fics. For example. "After X Happens, So and so does this". That's a spoiler people. Even if you put a cut to the story, you have already posted a spoiler in the description. Just freaking THINK for half a minute. if it spoils, Post in the description: Spoiler for 108 and put the cut before the spoiler. Seriously. it's not freaking rocket science. It's not.
I'm not even going to look at LJ now until I've read chapter 108. I don't want spoilers. Period. I've also seen friends who have had it spoiled intentionally in comments on their own posts where they specifically ask not to have the chapter spoiled. Sorry guys, but that's just rude. RUDE to do it on purpose. Commenting that you want to spoil it just because I SAID I didn't want it spoiled? Sorry, but if someone said that to me, that would be a real quick way to have me delete you right off my friends list. No question. Just don't do it. If you like having the ending of a story ruined for you by someone blabbing about it, you go for it and get everyone to tell you how it ends. Not me. Just. Don't. Do. It. Please.
That said. I'm probably actually not going to read FMA 108 this evening. Probably tomorrow since it's my day off and I'll be at my leisure to mull over it. Tonight I have some movies that have to go back to the library tomorrow. so... heh... I know I know.. where are my damn priorities.
The raws are out. However, I do not read Japanese well enough to read it until the scanlations come out. Thus, I would GREATLY appreciate if people would please not talk about it outside of a cut. I don't look at the raws and try to figure out what's going on. So please... cut your comments. Even if they don't seem like spoilers, the emotional response is in fact something of a spoiler for those of us who cannot read it yet.

Previously: Edward Elric is sick with an infection in the socket of his automail shoulder. Winry gets Edward a nice warm bath believing it will make him feel better to be clean. Afterwards, she settles him in bed and he sleeps almost immediately.Poor Ed, she thought, once they’d finally finished in the bathroom and were on their way back to his room. He’s such a mess. I really have my work cut out for me this time. It didn’t matter. He might have a long road back this time, but she’d walk it with him, just as she walked this little stretch of hallway with him.
Edward slept almost instantly when she got him into bed. Gently, so as not to disturb him, she pushed him onto his side, pulling his hair out from under his face, and brushed it out for him, weaving it into a loose braid that she dropped back across his shoulder, he rolling onto his back as soon as she let him with a long mumbling sigh. “You’ll be okay, Edward,” she said softly, stroking his bangs as he slept. “I’m not about to let you fall apart now, just when your life is finally becoming your own again.” That was a promise she meant to keep even if she was doomed to remain in the sidelines of his life even now, she’d support him as always. Now that it was safe again, Winry leaned down and gave Edward a soft kiss on the forehead. He’d never know she did it. Just like always, but it made her feel better.
