Peter's been a Beta all his life, and doesn't really think that much about it. He definitely wasn't expecting his view on it to change because of a spider bite.

Ive Grown Tired of This

by leiftheleaf

All Ed wanted to do was read some goddamn alchemy books. How was he supposed to know it would've ended up like this, what kind of person Tucker was? He'd just wanted to help his brother and now he wasn't sure his brother would ever know it was him again.(Or: Ed gets himself transmuted instead of Nina. He ends up significantly more animal than expected. Now, he needs to figure out how to tell his brother who he is, Al needs to find out where his brother disappeared to, and Mustang just wants to know why this cat hates him so much).

Conflicting Morals (are not a deal breaker, we've known each other since high school)

by Jojotank

Ranboo doesn't have that many friends. Which is fair! Oftentimes he can't even remember his teachers' names. And he doesn't need that many friends, he has his siblings, who would always help them out, and a few acquaintances at the betting pools in the abandoned band classrooms after school. But when the two most isolated kids in their grade (to the point where he bets about them not having other friends) ask him for the maths homework, he is consequently sucked into a much larger friend group (containing mostly adults and their older brother, to their surprise) and a whole lot of chaos. Or: the school outcasts do actually have friends, hero and villain activities are increasing lately and it happens to be a very, very small world.

Fast Like Most Things in

by wttlpwrites

Steve is captured by Hydra during what should have been a standard mission. It all happened so fast- "It's not enough to take the memories away, the scientist thinks. They won't go willingly. First, the memories need to be broken. Strained and frayed and tainted so that it's not too hard to let them go. It's not enough to take them. They need to be given."
