What are some interesting 'Fullmetal Alchemist' fanfictions about 'the watch'?

One interesting fanfiction could be where characters from Naruto and Fullmetal Alchemist are brought together in a new world. For example, Naruto characters might find themselves in Amestris and have to deal with the alchemy laws there. They could team up with the Elric brothers to fight a common enemy that threatens both their worlds.

Fanfictions that involve crossovers can also be interesting. For example, a crossover between Fullmetal Alchemist and another popular anime like Naruto. It could be a story where the characters from both series have to work together to solve a common problem, like a new type of threat that combines the elements of chakra and alchemy.

There are quite a few good ones. 'Fullmetal Bonds' is a fanfiction that focuses on the relationships between the characters in a very engaging way. It shows how the bonds between the characters develop and change over time. 'The Secrets of Alchemy' is also worth checking out. It reveals some hidden aspects of alchemy in the Fullmetal Alchemist world that you might not have thought about before. And 'Beyond the Gate' offers a different perspective on what lies beyond the Gate of Truth.

There are several good ones. 'The Alchemist's Redemption' is a great fanfiction that delves deeper into Edward's internal struggle with his past actions as an alchemist. 'Mustang's Ascent' is another that follows Roy Mustang's journey to the top of the military ranks with some interesting twists on his relationships with other characters. And 'The Homunculus Within' which explores the nature of homunculi in a more philosophical way than the original series.

There probably are. Fanfiction writers often love to mash up different universes. In such a fanfic, Naruto could bring his chakra - based powers and blend them with the principles of alchemy from Fullmetal Alchemist. Maybe he'd use his Rasengan in a new way by incorporating alchemical transmutation circles. It would be a wild and creative concept.

A possible fanfiction could be one where the watch is a conduit for communication with the dead. In the world of 'Fullmetal Alchemist', this would be a very unique concept. The character who discovers the watch starts to receive messages from alchemists who have passed away, and these messages help them in their journey to find the Philosopher's Stone or to defeat an enemy.

FMAB is closer to the manga. It follows the original storylines more accurately and has less deviations.

One interesting aspect is the exploration of different character relationships. Fanfiction often delves deeper into the bonds between the Elric brothers, for example, showing their growth and how they support each other in new and unique situations. Another aspect could be the alternative storylines. Some fanfictions might rewrite key events in the anime, like the Promised Day, which can offer a fresh perspective on the overall plot and the characters' motives.

Yes, it does. Brotherhood is considered a more faithful adaptation that follows the manga's storyline closely.

Some characters might feel flattered. If the fanfiction portrays them in a heroic and positive light, especially if it emphasizes their good qualities like Edward's determination or Alphonse's kindness, they might secretly feel a bit of pride and be flattered by the author's view of them.
