this is a request for :iconthean2: , and he wanted stories about winry rockbell of full metal alchemist and hinata hyuga of naruto. since i'm not too familiar with them and the ideas he wanted sounded like they'd work kept short, i offered him to make them both as a compilation story. they both have a similar theme, hence the title

in the first, in an attempt to impress edward, winry rockbell tries her hand at alchemy. it's an unfamiliar art to her though, and thanks to not knowing what she's doing, she somehow causes herself to have an accident

in the second, hinata thinks maybe she can attract naruto if she was eternally beautiful. somehow, someone learns of this idea of hers and tells her to meet in a nearby cave...

mature warning tag for violence is a precaution due to the macabre nature of both endings, with winry getting the worst deal.

since i don't understand the rules from the fma and naruto universes about their magic/alchemy/ninjitsu very well, sorry if i've got any big errors here but hopefully my own misunderstanding of it at least helps winry get things wrong more plausibly :)
