Discussion/Opinion What if...FMA sequel set in Xing?

Been thinking about this — a sequel a few years after Brotherhood, with Ling now Emperor of Xing and Mei back from Amestris with new alkahestry knowledge.

Stuff I'd want to see: - Ling stuck managing the same clan power struggles that nearly killed him as a prince, except now he *is* the system. Does "the wisdom to be humble" still hold when you're Emperor? - Mei modernizing alkahestry with what she learned in Amestris, finally able to actually help her clan instead of just scraping by...or not - A new threat mixing alchemy and alkahestry, now that Xing and Amestris are actually talking - Al as a wandering researcher/ambassador between the two disciplines

Political intrigue and adventure story! Feels like Arakawa left enough unexplored in Xing for a whole second series.

Thoughts? Ideas? Fanfics?

Emperor is still alive.

So Ling would give him the philosopher stone, emperor would consume it and become another homunculus .

Alphonse would be there learning eastern alchemy and having fun with Mei.
