Anyway where are my Fullmetal Alchemist/Pacific Rim AUs.
It works in either direction, with some tweaking.
Yancy and Raleigh Becket try to perform human transmutation and Yancy ends up fused to a massive fuckoff suit of armor and Raleigh loses his left arm (the one with the circuit burns) and his right leg (the one Lady Danger loses at the end of the movie) and Pentecost is Mustang, obviously, and he’s not dating his second in command, she’s his brilliant daughter Mako who is very taken aback by the Fullmetal Alchemist who is polite and soft-spoken and smiles easily but sadly. Herc is Hughes and instead of killing him they kill his son, an arrogant but undeniably competent alchemist. Alternatively, Herc is Mustang and Pentecost is a much grimmer Hughes.
Edward and Alphonse Elric become Jaeger pilots because the world is coming to a fucking end and then a disaster happens and Ed is alone, and then Mustang shows up to recruit him to save the world and tries to pair him with everyone under the sun and finally throws one of their mechanics at him and said mechanic (Winry) is OUTRAGED that they’re drift compatible because SHE HAS REAL WORK TO DO that’s not hotrodding around in a GIANT FUCKOFF ROBOT but also no she is absolutely not turning down a chance to pilot that giant fuckoff robot, get in, Elric. Obviously in this AU their Jaeger’s AI (IDK, Fullmetal Alchemy or something, they call her pilots the Fullmetal Boys) is high key possessed by Al’s memory imprint. And Riza is LOCCENT at the last Shatterdome. She and Mustang used to be pilots together but they aren’t anymore for reasons that they won’t tell anyone.
Everyone else can be fitted in as necessary. Go forth and find me these AUs.
