re: au musebox shenanigans
Seriously? You're planning a whole storyline based off this crap? And now you're trying to drag other people into it besides Al's mun.
You're batshit, lady.
I liked the stuff where I beat the crap up Lelouch and Light better. Supposed to be having a drink with Kallen and Suzaku, y'know.

Idly, she wonders what her own Al would do. ]
That idiot, he should know better than that. Good that he comes to visit though. He got his body back in your world too?
1/2
[but it wasn't - if anything, she was the one that had a crush on the Colonel way before all of this even started. It was hard to get him to think of her as much more than a child, before the bond happened.]
2/2
That was my first priority, I didn't let any of this get in the way. Once he was back in real flesh and blood and- out pursuing his own dream...
[Another shrug] Al didn't need me. I didn't see much reason not to move in-
[but that's another topic all together.]
no subject
[ A quiet snort at that, for when is the life on an Elric ever not complicated? ]
Sounds like Al being Al. He probably just wanted to make sure you'd be alright. Wouldn't doubt if it was the colonel's fault either.
[ Slips her hands into her coat, giving her head a shake so that long hair cascades down her back and out of her face. ]
All sounds like what I'd do, really. My Al, though... he wouldn't leave if I wanted him too.
[ And that's what prompts a small smile out of her. ]
no subject
Yeah... [but at that quiet part she stiffens, voice tense.] It's not his fault. No one chooses to be someone else's slave...
[He wouldn't. Not just to get in her pants, or whatever. Not when he had so much planned for his own future, that this changed.]
[but she smiles faintly at that last part, knowing this Ed would never understand why her Al had left - and why she hadn't asked him to stay or tried to go with him.]
no subject
Wait— Slave? You're his... slave?
1/2
She's staring. Staring at that, because what the fuck - that's not what she said at all.
Her ears flick before she composes herself, looking away again.]
no subject
[Her tail sways slightly as she looks away, clearing her throat.]
No... He's mine.
no subject
Oh.
That changes things. And perhaps she's dwelling too much on her own situation, letting thoughts project. Guh, so stupid. She's such a damn idiot.
Scratching the back of her neck, she shifts her gaze away, frowning more to herself than anything else. ]
Well. That's not so bad.
no subject
[She almost looks... angry.]
Have you ever unwillingly taken someone else's freedom? I bet you'd like to see Mustang change his entire future because of you, right?
[A pause.] ... You ever have to watch every little thing you say, because the dumbest sentence could be taken as an order?
no subject
That bastard...
[ There's bite in her tone, as if she's preparing to say that she would, but it quickly fades because she also knows better. She wouldn't want anyone to experience that. ]
No. Nobody deserves that.
no subject
He'd taken it so seriously though, it was... weird. And then he'd dropped everything and become obsessed with making her happy.
She sounds almost ... wistful.]
It made me happy, at first. He couldn't just dismiss me- but it's taken over his life.. and these stupid fights we get into-
[She looks up, lingering concern and anger in her expression - not that any of this would make sense to her other self.]
He was going alone, to protect me - which only made him weaker.
[with the last part, she sounded annoyed.] It's like he thinks I can't tolerate a little pain.
no subject
That idiot. You'd think he'd know better by now.
no subject
[Didn't think that was possible.
And a beat-]
What about you..? I mean, in your world, are you and Mustang...? [because she sure as hell blushed like she wanted to be.]
1/?
[ A snort, and then her other self's question registers. Is she...? Suddenly, color returns vividly to her cheeks and her eyes widen. ]
The colonel... and me?

I always knew that bastard had his eyes on me. I could tell, making those comments about stupid shit like a lady like me doesn't need to be in the military and I should really think about settling down and—
no subject
Equivalent Exchange. Had to be, for Al...
no subject
done
Al... doesn't know.
no subject
[No, that doesn't make any sense. His job could be on the line for doing something like that- they'd risked so much to make this work and in some other world things were like that?
No. No, nonononono.
This didn't make any sense....
She hasn't even registered yet that last part, because she's too busy trying to wrap her mind around Roy ever taking anything like that from her.
When she looks up again, her gaze is almost murderous. Her voice is lethal quiet.] Al would kill him.
no subject
And what she doesn't know is that sleeping with Mustang hadn't even been necessary. Al had already made the bargain to give up part of the Philosopher's Stone bound to his soul to the military. To Mustang. The part he'd received from their father, the last remnants of the Stone made in Xerxes. So sleeping with him was more of a concession on her part, and perhaps a bit on Mustang's. Something they both wanted, but knew couldn't happen, so just once... Just once, they'd allowed it. Only to never speak of it again.
She'll never tell Al. She could never bring herself to hurt him that way, when she'd been so determined to give him everything of her, body and soul. She knows the side of Al that also lingers beneath the surface, dangerous and deadly, willing to sacrifice anything to protect her. She can't let that side of Al surface either.
Her voice is just as quiet as her mirror. ]
That's why Al can't ever know. 'Cause with the Philosopher's Stone still bound to him, he could— It would be bad. Al, at least... he was first, but— He can't know.
no subject
[Well, of course she is. If any version of Ed was stupid enough to go and do something behind Al's back that he'd hate - they sure as fuck aren't stupid enough to then inform him.
Still. She looks angry. Angry about a world that is not her's, that she has no control over, and that is bat shit insane. Yep, she takes it back. She'll keep the ears.
At least she's not this Ed.]
If he ever finds out, he might kill you both.
