Edwin + Regency era :)

Shay forgive me for whatever this is:

“Excuse me,” said Duke Edward Elric of Resembool Kingdom. He bowed, though it was quite the feat considering he was wearing layers upon layers of stiff clothing. Honestly, the entire thing was superfluous. “I’m here to court Princess Winry Rockbell.”

Queen Pinako tutted. Because tutting seems like a thing you’d do in a Regency type of AU.

“Sorry, you’re too short,” said Pinako. “The Princess doesn’t like men below five feet.”

“WHAT!?” Edward crowed. He stomped over but two armored knights (??) ushered him back. He stood on his toes to no avail as he was not tall enough to see over them. “LISTEN HERE, YOU MINIATURE HAG–”

Suddenly, Princess Winry spun into the room. Her 500-layer skirt unfurled like a rose. She stopped in front of the tiny duke.

“State your purpose,” she said.

“Winry, I’ve known you since we were kids. I literally walked Den like an hour ago.”

“Guaaaards!” she began, to which Ed blanched. Something about suits of armor unsettled him, though he couldn’t put his finger on why.

“WAIT!” he exclaimed. “I just want to ask you to marry me.”

Winry blushed.

Ed blushed.

They stared at each other, blushing.

“Oh,” said Winry.

They blushed some more.

After blushing for a solid minute or so, Ed cleared his throat. “So, uh….wanna, like, do this?”

Winry nodded. “Yes. Let’s get married effective immediately. As you know, we’re fifteen which means we’re ticking time bombs in this period. Before one of us contracts the plague, we must get married.”

“Is this a plague era?” Ed asked uncertainly.

Winry shrugged. “Beats me. Let’s go.”
