Summary: Figure skating time! Part 1.
A/N: Long time no see! Sorry about the long wait, but here it is, the first part of the “grande finale”. I can’t believe we are finally here :’) I’m so excited (and also terrified) to write… whatever it is that comes next. Some important figure skating info for those who are not that familiar with the sport: like I hopefully make clear enough in my fic, the competition consists of two parts, short skate and free skate, and this chapter has the short skate part.
This chapter is dedicated again to some of my very favorite people on this website, aka @criis55 and @automail-freak-and-alchemy-freak because you guys have blessed me with so many pics, and there aren’t enough words to describe how much it means to me. You are simply wonderful ♥
Please enjoy and REVIEW because that way we’ll finally get to the part you all have been waiting for 😉

“Brother,
you seem kinda anxious,” Al noted as the two of them were approaching the
figure skating arena. It was finally the day of Winry’s individual short
program, and like promised, Ed was taking Al to see the competition. Which of
the brothers was more nervous (about two very different things), was up for
debate.“I do not!
You’re the one who hasn’t shut up about Mei Chang the entire morning! I don’t think we should interrupt her
today; this is her most important competition so far and I bet she is just as
focused as Winry is.”“Since when
are you the voice of reason of the two of us?” Al frowned at his brother,
looking genuinely surprised. “Are you really the same person who left home two
weeks ago?”

Edwin/dad!Ed one-shot: Girl Issues
Summary: Ed’s son Alan has been disappearing a lot from their house, and Ed tries to figure out why.
A/N: finally! This took like a million years. I hope you guys will still enjoy it 🙂 Please let me know what you think!! (bing @automail-freak-and-alchemy-freak)
Edit: I forgot to say there might be a small “easter egg” hidden in the fic, about a movie some Edwin people have been talking about lately :’)

”Hey, Ed?”
Winry addressed her husband who was cleaning the kitchen after the dinner. “Do
you think Alan has been acting weirdly lately? He’s been doing… less mechanic
work and gone out to town way more often…”“He has?”
Ed stopped putting the plates into the cupboard and turned to look at his wife,
raising his eyebrows. “To me he has told that he’s simply taking some extra art
lessons with Mr. Dawson because drawing blueprints has never been his strength.”Winry
crossed her arms over her chest and looked just as surprised as he did. “And to
me he’s told he’s helping out some friends who have trouble with school…
Something doesn’t add up.”“Hmm. It’s
not like him to hide things from us. I think I will call Mr. Dawson tonight and
ask him if he’s really been at his house,” Ed decided. The conversation ended
at that point because a loud crash could be heard from the living room, and
Winry rushed to check what the twins had broken this time.
Love Can Melt the Ice, ch 17
A/N: 17 chapters already? Wow. And I have all you lovely people to thank for that, this fic wouldn’t exist without you guys 🙂 I keep saying that this fic is gonna end soon but now I’m almost certain there’s only the “grande finale” left (it will probably be 3 chapters, lol). If someone wants to help me to write figure skating, hit me up. Enjoy and please review because that way you’ll get the grande finale (and MAYBE even the thing you all have been looking forward to, but NO PROMISES) faster :’) BTW, if you haven’t read my companion piece A Letter to Winry yet, I do recommend reading it because it might have a role later in this fic.
Ps. Thanks again for everyone who’s been drawing stuff for this fic, you guys are incredible!

”Isn’t it my
old student Edward? It’s been a long while.”Like he had
decided earlier that morning, Ed called to the most maternal person he had in
his life. She was Izumi Curtis, his old “nanny” and teacher. Izumi was very
strict when it came to training and household work, but she was also someone whose
opinion Ed respected, and whose relationship with her husband was probably the
longest and healthiest one he knew. Truth to be told, Ed was sometimes slightly
scared of her because of her random outbursts, but he also knew she was fair
and wouldn’t just shrug off his issue.“Uh, yeah,
it has…” Ed couldn’t help but rub his neck awkwardly even though Izumi couldn’t
see him. “Sorry about that… I’ve just been busy. So, how’s everything in
Dublith? How are you and Mr. Sig doing?”
EdWin ficlet: A Letter to Winry
Happy birthday @randomlyopeneddictionary!! I was planning to draw for you at first, but then I saw @drrockbell‘s beautiful (and sad) fic and decided that I wanted to write down Ed’s thoughts as well. And since I know you like LCMTI, I thought why not. I imagine Ed wrote this letter right after the events of chapter 16, but he wasn’t actually going to give it to Winry (hence why the language he wouldn’t use otherwise). How she will learn to know about it, though, will probably be a story for another time 😉 Stay tuned and R&R (read and review, not rest&relax) because some encouragement would be much needed.

Winry,
Words have
always been difficult to me.Even though
you already know my darkest secrets, there’s still so much I haven’t told you.
I wish I could say these things out loud, but every time I try, the words… they
get stuck in my throat. That’s why I’m writing this letter, because writing my
thoughts on this paper, I have time to consider how to express myself without
making myself an idiot or saying something I might regret soon. Well, I guess I’m
still an idiot, but hopefully an idiot you like? Even though I don’t quite
understand why.OK, on to
the actual topic of this letter, I guess. Before the Olympics, I was in a bad
place. This is probably a cliched expression, but I was alone in a locker room
full of people, and only a couple of people (mostly: Al) managed to break
through that invisible barrier that I had created. My dad tried, my teammates
tried, many girls who just cared about my hockey player status tried. I don’t
know why I just said that, but I guess I want to be honest with you. I didn’t
understand why I didn’t like any of them, even before finding out how shallow
some of them were, but now I know. They weren’t you.:0 I can’t believe one of the popular EdWin writers was actully inspired by something I wrote!😍
This letter was beautiful and was a perfect companion piece to your story.
I love your little details, like not putting ‘dear’ before Winry’s name, admitting that he can’t find the words, and the climax when he admits more to himself than her that he loves her.
I see he’s getting more and more comfortable writing as the letter goes on and I honestly feel so bad for him because he can’t vocalize what he means.
It’s a beautiful thing that he sees how important their relationship is and that this is not only a reflection of him and her, but also of his life until this point.
So much detail in a letter.
Amazing work!❤️
I don’t have words to describe how sweet your message is :’) Honestly, I loved your fic and I love all your EdWin headcanons etc so it’s really no wonder you inspired me!
I’m glad you noticed those details! I tried my best to think of what he would and wouldn’t say 🙂 Either way, he’s gotten quite far from the beginning situation and I can’t wait to share the rest with you guys.
Thank you ♥ This literally made my day!!

EdWin one-shot: Halloween
Summary: A few scenes showing Rockbell-Elric family’s Halloween celebration
A/N: written for @edweenweek day 7: candy (could be trick or treat as well)! Special thanks to @criis55 for the ideas and the dog’s name! ❤ Please enjoy and review! Also, I guess this is an AU in which Halloween exists, but that goes without saying..
Words: 1700+
Genre: family
People
stopped on their tracks on the street when they saw the Rockbell-Elric family
walking past them. There were two small children in the family, a 3-year-old boy and
approximately a year-old girl. They were dressed in a way that made those who
knew the family believe their father had picked the costumes. The son was
wearing an armor made by his mother, and the daughter was wrapped into ripped sheets
like a mummy. Edward himself was sporting a vampire outfit, with a black suit,
cape and fake teeth. Winry was dressed as a witch, carrying their smallest in a
huge cauldron.
Edween week, day 5: AU (treat)
Been too busy
(and lazy)to finish any fics lately, but since today’s @edweenweek day theme is AU, I decided to use this opportunity to draw my fave dorks, hockey player Ed and figure skater Winry ♥
Love Can Melt the Ice, ch 16
A/N: Whoops, somehow it’s been 17 days since my last update… *anime sweatdrop* Well, better late than never! I keep saying that we are getting closer to the end, and we are, but there’s /still/ at least 3 chapters left. I don’t really have much else to say, so please, please, read and review because it will make me happy 🙂
Edit: OH, I forgot a very important thing!! This chapter is dedicated to the wonderful @automail-freak-and-alchemy-freak who drew some beautiful figure skater Winry art for me, and I’m honestly still so amazed :’)) This is a thank you for you!

Warnings: swearing
Ed woke up
sweaty, his heart pounding rather fast, and for a moment he thought he had seen
a nightmare that he didn’t remember anymore. But soon he realized the cause of
his ‘distress’ was the other person in his… well, technically, her bed. She was sleeping on his right
side, using his chest as her pillow, her leg tangled with his and her right arm
wrapped around his torso. She didn’t seem to mind the automail, which was
partially under her, one bit, to Ed’s huge surprise. The expression on her face
was peaceful, even happy, and Ed couldn’t help but wonder ‘how the fuck this
happened’.For a while
he just laid there quietly, thinking about everything that had happened in such
a short while. They had been reunited only 13 days ago, yet somehow that time
had felt much longer. Even though Ed tried to push the thought away, already
something cold seeped into his heart when he remembered they would need to say goodbye
only in a few days. What would happen after that? He surely didn’t know.
She’s probably looking at the broken automail of her dumb boyfriend and wondering if idiotproof automail exist.
EdWin one-shot: A Food Fight (of sorts)
Summary: Ed and Winry are preparing to move in together a bit before their wedding, but of course things don’t go like planned. (could be canon ‘verse or whatever universe you want!)
A/N: my part of the fic-art trade with @mavistuffz! I was planning to finish this way earlier but sometimes life and writer’s block happens
Either way, I really hope you’ll enjoy this! It’s probably not quite what you had in mind, but hey, it’s EdWin, so that’s the main thing, right? :’) Let me know what you think!

Genre: fluff
Warnings: swearing and some sexual implications, I guess (nothing bad tho)
Ed and
Winry had only one month left till their wedding, and that meant a lot needed to be done before the big day. The quests had been invited,
dresses and suits bought, the venue and the theme colors chosen (to Ed’s
surprise, Winry had even allowed a little bit of black in the decorations because
it had been his wish), but that didn’t mean they were anywhere near done.Perhaps one
of the biggest tasks they needed to
do before the wedding was moving into their own house. It had been decided
they’d move to Rush Valley after returning their honeymoon, which meant their
new home needed to be organized before the wedding. That only added pressure for
the bride and groom who had been stressed even before the moving.They had found
a nice small place near Garfiel’s, something Winry was happy about despite her
teacher’s playful accusations that one day she’d open her own automail shop and
steal all his customers. While Winry was
dreaming about opening her own shop at some point, she had a secret she had
only told Ed so far, a secret that would affect her professional career quite a
bit. That’s why she was perfectly happy to work with Garfiel until she was
financially stable to start her own business. Ed would still continue doing his
research, and he had also received an interesting offer from General Mustang.
He had suggested Ed become an alchemy teacher in a nearby university that had
been opened recently. The young man had been a bit reluctant, reminding Roy he
couldn’t even perform alchemy anymore, but afterwards he had told Winry he
might consider it. That way he could spread important information that could
help them avoid the misuse of alchemy in the future.
