EDWARD ELRIC! If he was meant to be with anyone, they would have included it in the series!
EdxRoy
The entire point of Ed and Roy's canon relationship was to illustrate Ed's need for a father figure, as well as Roy's denile about his protectiveness of the Elrics. By pairing them together, you completely destroy one of the key relationships in the anime! They devote a lot of time to establishing Ed's bitterness toward his father, and once that's done they build up for the rest of the series. The entire series builds up to that resolution in "Stray Dog", where Roy accepts his paternal urges and puts Ed in his place. Its a really beautiful scene that loses it's meaning when you change their relationship.
EdxEnvy
I'd like to write a nice little paragraph about why I don't like this one, except that I can't. Is it possible for this to be anything more than smut? If so, please PM me and enlighten me because I can't find a single way to justify this pairing.
EdxAl *Shutter* Okay, not only is that incest, but it, like EdxRoy, totally distorts the beautiful relationship they already have. Probably the biggest theme of FMA is the love between brothers, they way the depend on each other, protect each other, and even sacrifice themselves for each other. The thing about them that's unique is this relationship. I mean, between lovers, these feelings are common. But among brothers, this bond is special and sacred. So, by making them lovers, you twist something so rare into something common. I just think it takes all the meaning out of the story.
EdxWinry
Given the choice between the three of them, I'd choose this one. But that doesn't mean I like it. I just don't think they'd work out. Ed has been through so much by the end of the series that I feel like he'd want to be with someone more like him. A lot of the pain that Ed goes through, Winry never sees. Therefore, it seems like Winry would give Ed sympathy, when he really needs empathy.
And that's the short version of why I think Ed should be single!

You completely rock! I've never liked the Ed/Roy pairing, but a friend of mine is adamant that they are meant to be together. I love mentioning to her that Arakawa doesnt agree with the pairing.
As for Ed/Envy, i love it, but i will happily admit there is no bases for it! I have a bit of a thing for rivals and such and i think it would be hot. Thats about it!
Ed/Winry: She is more like a big sister than anything else.
and Ed/Al, i think their brotherly relationship is adorable.
Thank you! I usually get flamed for dissing such a popular ship.^^;
