Summary
“Tell me,” Ling began, voice deadly serious. His gaze was piercing, as though looking into Edward’s very soul. “How many people do you have inside of you?”
--------
Edward was born earlier, to a much younger Hohenheim. Even with a much different start to life, one thing still holds true: he loves Alphonse more than anything, even if his beloved brother does stupid things like run off and join the military at age 11.

Summary
Edward froze. Slipping his head out from Hohenheim's grasp, he stared into the sun, eyes adjusting to the figure on the balcony. It had Hohenheim's face. And as his father recoiled, asking if that man was the homunculus in the flask, all he could see was that Al's murderer bore the appearance of the only family he had left.
"What have you done?"
"You gave me blood. In return, I gave you knowledge and freedom; now I've given you a body that will live forever."
OR, Edward is born in 1488, and when Father attempts to immortalize Van Hohenheim, Edward is caught up in the circle. Newly immortal, the only family he has left is a man he's grown to resent and his brother's soul, trapped within his chest. Over the course of four hundred years, Edward fights to separate the souls in the stone, because there isn't a world where he won't give up everything for Alphonse.

Summary
He’s seen many different cultural approaches to childcare. Amestris’ is rather stagnant, comparatively. Xing believed in gentle movement for infants, and built all sorts of wood cradles and hammocks for rocking their young. Ishvalans kept infants on their backs for most of their early years, tied and swaddled in place with cloth, and shielded from biting sand.
Xerxes, well...
Here, and now, Amestrians believe that a baby should be kept indoors for its first few months–to protect their health, and their developing systems.
Hohenheim knows just enough about childhood development to question this, but not enough to truly challenge it. Time had proved him wrong before, science and understanding crawling away from him as he spent years turning over other stones. It was as if the world moved rapidly every time he blinked, blurring past him without notice.

Or: Hohenheim gets stuck taking care of his infant son by himself. He thinks about old Xerxian traditions. Ed spends most of the day screaming.
