"More like 'dick-tator'" she giggled softly at her own joke. Some dictator he is," Envy mumbled to herself. "You'd think friggin' Wrath could get the trains running on time. But only slightly.Įnvy got off the train onto the dumpy little platform, and swore under her breath as she noticed a sign, informing her that the Central Train was delayed by another 2 hours that night. She just remembered that she'd have to get off here, and the train that would finally take her to Central would not be running until later that evening, leaving her with about 4 hours to either hang around the train station, bored, or go explore the town, perhaps slightly less bored.

Just how did I end up this far south anyway? Envy thought to herself as she grabbed her small suitcase and parasol from the luggage rack as the train slid to a stop at, where was she again? Dublith? Where had she heard that name before? It hardly mattered. Liore had been a fun Blood Crest to carve, but still! At least she would never have to wear that disguise ever again. At least it's better than that fat bastard Cornello – ugh, Gluttony's cuter than that moron was. She just wished she had not had to "wear" it for so long, since shortly after she had left Liore, so for this entire miserable train trip. Her current form, a young woman with shoulder-length, brown pigtails, dressed in a low-cut, yellow sundress, her ouroborus tattoo on her left thigh just peeking from beneath the skirt, was nowhere near as cute as her Beautiful Self, but she supposed it was a serviceable civilian disguise. She stretched in her seat, and caught her reflection in the window. "Where the hell am I now?" Envy groaned at the engineer's announcement. Thank you for travelling with Amestris Rail.

So, the "ultimate shield" of mythology, wielded by one who could be said to "carve blood crests"Īmestris Rail train number 426 will be arriving in Dublith in 5 minutes. Eris was the Greek Goddess of discord and chaos, who indirectly caused the Trojan war.

But if you have any continuity questions, feel free to ask, either here in this thread, or in a PM.Ī note on the title: An "Aegis" is a synonym for shield, particularly the shield wielded by Athena, the Ancient Greek Goddess of Wisdom, which was decorated with the head of Medusa, the snake-haired gorgon whose look could turn people to stone. I'm working on editing them, so I can post without breaking any site rules. Some of my more explicit oneshots aren't available here on ZU yet. Envy also began identifying as female for her relationship (sorry yaoi fans, that's just not my thing!). It would probably help to read the first chapter of "Wheels" and "Virtue" first, as well as my other oneshots "Bad Romance" and "Divine Comedy". My pre-series events from "Wheels Within Wheels" and my other FMA stories are canon to this fic, so Envy and Greed had a relationship about a hundred years prior to the series, right before Greed abandoned the other homunculi, and they met up again, 20 years before FMA, in my story "Virtue of Vice". Rated T for suggestive themes (though nothing explicit). What kind of butterfly effect will Envy's deflection have on the series? Especially when her other siblings (Wrath, Lust, and especially Pride) aren't all that happy about 2 out of the 7 homunculi now rebelling against their Father. So yeah, Envy joins Greed, meaning she won't be there for the 5th Laboratory incident, to kill Maes Hughes, to get sucked into Gluttony's stomach, or any other major post-Liore events she takes part in in the series' canon. What consequences will there be, now that Envy's no longer on Father's side? What if, on her way back from the Liore incident, Envy ended up detoured into Dublith, and found her long lost lover? With most of the Blood Crests carved and her purpose in the Plan fulfilled, perhaps it really is time to "retire", and finally take Greed up on his 20 year old offer to join him. But anyway, I recently started a new alternate universe novel, which I think would be interesting to anyone who likes the FMA manga/Brotherhood. I thought there'd be more anime fans among the ZU crew). Okay, so I know my FMA stories aren't exactly popular here (I'm kind of surprised, actually.
