Pairing: Edward Elric/Roy Mustang
Summary:
The kiss he pressed on Ed‘s cheekbone was as gentle as it was mocking, and Ed could feel his cheeks flare up hotly with shame when Roy continued very softly, every single word like the lash of a whip, “I‘ll tear you open and take everything you‘ve got, and you‘ll thank me on your knees like a good slut, my love. I‘ll have you here and now, and all these perfectly nice people in their very nice evening dresses out there in the hall listening to music are only one door away from discovering how easy you are. How much you love it when I take you apart.“

Bingo Square(s): Nonlinear story, Read Angrily
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Pairing: Edward Elric/Roy Mustang
Summary:
Roy Mustang is a Colonel in the army and is on the trail of a dangerous alchemist reported to have committed the gravest crime of all: human transmutation. He finds instead an amputated eleven-year-old boy, Roy's soulmark on his remaining arm.
Edward Elric is thirteen years old when he meets his soulmate. An intelligent and handsome state alchemist more than three decades his senior. He should feel happy, but he can't help the feeling that something doesn't feel right.
A story about trauma and the ways we can heal through the people we love.

Quick note that post-by-email and comment-by-email is (sometimes?) failing silently without actually posting right now! I'm pretty sure this is related to last night's shenanigans and will be fixed once Mark can finish the full fix for it, which he's working on, but if you've posted or replied by email in the last 24 hours, fish it out of your sent folder to check if it posted!
EDIT: This should be fixed as of around 7AM EDT! We *believe* everything that was stuck in the plumbing has been sent along to your journal or the comment thread it was meant for; it's definitely not where it was stuck anymore, at least.

Robby has managed to put in a temporary fix for the site errors and things failing to refresh or not showing up where they should! The permanent fix is going to need Mark's experience, and unfortunately -- seriously, this literally never fails -- Mark has been on an international flight all day, because of course he has. (Never. Fails. He and I are not allowed to both take vacation at once.)
The site will work just fine with the temporary fix in place, things just might be a little slow here and there. We'll keep you updated.
We're aware of site traffic issues and are working to fix them for the people who are having problems! (The tactics the damn bot traffic uses are endlessly shifting, and they're really good at looking like real traffic, sigh.)

denise posting in dw_maintenance May. 28th, 2026 04:10 pm)It's been a while since we've done a full code push rather than just hotfixes for bugs, so we are well overdue! Depending on availability, we're aiming to do one sometime soon; we'll let you know specifics once we've worked out good timing for everyone who needs to be available.
However! The reason it's been so long is we kept trying to get some of the stuff that's pending to "really finished" instead of just "mostly finished", and then we once again looked around and went "oh no, this is a really big code push with a lot of changes". Those make us nervous, because while we do a lot of testing ourselves, y'all are really creative in how you use the site and we inevitably find a bunch of edge cases when we let you loose on new code with your real-world data!
So, if folks have some spare time in the next few days, it would be a huge help if you could spend half an hour or so using the site the same way you normally do but with the "Site-Wide Canary" beta features flag turned on. Canary mode is a sort of "live testing" mode: it's your real data, but running the most up-to-date code.
Canary mode always does have a few glitches -- there may be missing text strings or errors about missing database properties, which is a limitation of how we run it. We don't need to know about those, but anything else weird that you run into, leave a comment with what you were trying to do and the error message you got.
I'll repeat that the "here be dragons" caution that's on the beta features page: some things may be broken, so don't use it for when you're doing something important. But a few more eyeballs on it before the push will help the push go more smoothly for everyone.
For folks who want to concentrate on what's changing, we haven't finished the second code tour of what's going to be in this push, but the ffirst one has a good chunk of what's going to be going live. (We'll get the second half done ASAP!)
