[jordannamorgan]

Title: Roughing It (1/7: A Little Blackmail Between Friends)
Author: jordannamorgan
Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG for some fantasy violence.
Characters: Primarily Edward, Alphonse, Mustang, and the Hughes family, as well as some villainous OCs. Havoc gets a cameo, too.
Setting: First anime, but it’s mostly cross-compatible. Takes place when Ed is fourteen, Al is thirteen, and Elicia Hughes is two.
Summary: In an effort to learn more about the Elric brothers and Mustang’s connection to them, Hughes maneuvers the three into a camping trip with his family—but the fun and games end when they find themselves caught in the fallout of a deadly museum heist.
Disclaimer: If you know them, they belong to Hiromu Arakawa. Only the villains of the piece are mine.
Notes: This story was one of the earliest long-form FMA plot bunnies to occupy my hutch. There really isn’t much to say about it by way of author’s notes; it’s just a straightforward, stand-alone adventure. I did have an unusual amount of fun designing the bad guys, though. *g*
Once again, my thanks go to the wonderful kristensk, for her valuable feedback during the writing process.
