A decade after the upheaval in Japan ends, Class 1-A are invited to a special event at HeroCon featuring a person whose quirk lets them view an alternate timeline centered around a randomly chosen member of the audience.
Naturally, it's Izuku.

a silver watch (with rusted gears) by MowukaMoon

Summary
“And yet, and yet I still need you, my dear Sun. I need my souls back, and you… you can get them.” Truth smiles. It opens its arms wide as the gate in front of Ed slams open. An almost completely unfamiliar transmutation circle fills the room. It’s only as he’s being dragged through his gate that she sees it: twelve elements arranged in a circle, three lines of varying lengths drawn from the center to the top. The second hand ticks backward.
“Good luck, Alchemist!”
He’s sent spinning back into everything.
Or,
Ed is sent back to the very beginning (with a friend) because Truth is an asshole like that. He fucks shit up.
Or or,
I'm obsessed with time travel fix-its so I wrote one.

Summary
Dust still swirls in plumes around them, and he can still feel the shifting of debris as it settles. He sees his friends in only outlines, but their movements are clearly panicked and he still can’t really think but it scares him. His head hurts. His thoughts are like drifting clouds.
Edward wished the lightheartedness could have lasted, but it never did. He always found a way to smother it.-or-
Edward will never let somebody get hurt when it could be him instead. Roy Mustang just wants to keep the kid from killing himself before he's even a teenager.

requiring creative solutions by Kastaborous

Summary
Edward Elric regularly lost his artificial limbs, in fights more often than not. This often necessitated creative solutions to problems, a ‘think outside the box’ mentality as it were. Or, perhaps more correctly, a ‘transmute this box into a cannon to explode my opponents’ mentality.
…
Or, some soldiers decide to prank Ed by stealing his spare automail. He does not have spare automail. He shows them exactly why he is to be feared regardless of the number of limbs on his person.

Summary
Edward guts him with his eyes, with his glare. He looks distressingly close to tears.
“I’m not letting go of you.” Edward squeezes Roy’s wrist until it hurts. Until Edward’s adrenaline and fear shake down Roy’s skin and sink into his bones. “S-So stop—stop being a dumbass and help me—”
The kid’s voice finally breaks open, raw and wet and scared. It strikes Roy’s core deeper than any bullet. Any knife.
Any impact.
Ed’s glare comes down on him fiercely. Roy is about to earn it.
A mission goes very, very wrong.

Summary
Ed is more than six feet under, but still very much alive. He owes that to a crumpling street and collapsing building. It’s too dark to see, too cold to feel, and he’s certain he’s going crazy. Or maybe that’s just the concussion.
All he can do is wait and keep breathing.
