Fics like Nomenclature

The name on the birth certificate read Alanna van Hohenheim but by the time of his seventh year he called himself Alphonse. Alphonse—and Edward—Elric, Ed wrote in block letters in the front cover of the alchemy book, picked up from one of the travelling book peddlers that still came by looking for a man with golden hair and thick spectacles. Al squinted. “But—” “He left,” Ed snapped curtly, but behind the flat anger looped a thin coil of pain. “He’s not our real dad, Al, and he’s never, ever going to be.” Ed hovered over the final stroke of the pen, the c, before he dotted the name with a finality that ground Al down to the bone, even though he corrected himself that such an increase in gravity would require a massive amount of energy. But science—at least, no science of which Al or his older brother had heard—had never quite been able to predict human emotion. “It’s okay. You’ve got Mom and you’ve got me. We’re the Elric family and we’re gonna stick together no matter what.”
