And then, after a month in canon!Worm trying to fix her teleporter, Aisha remembered she has a spare, ROB-backed, fiat-backed, give-middle-finger-to-time-and-dimensions-backed key to the Workshop, and thus she gave herself light concussion performing a hypersonic, mass effect enhanced facepalm.

Alive or dead doesn't matter to FMA Alchemy. All that's required is for you to understand your target well enough to transmute it.
(That's why Scar can use his alchemy arrays to punch people so hard they disintegrate, and it's why alchemists are capable of making chimeras.)
A shard would be the most fitting Arcane Craft focus I can think of for a parahuman power, wouldn't it?
Would Aisha sell technology for money?

Reach heaven through violence!
Why would she need to fo that? One little alchemical transmutation...
It would probably be easier for her to transmute up some stuff to pawn for cash, not even technology, even though making a few sticks of RAM or a motherboard or a screen or something would probably be easy, but some stone or glass or wood statues or frames or something, then to crack the anti-counterfeiting measures on cash.

I'll pretend I didn't see this because mah plot. Something something "the key doesn't work in Canon Worm for reasons~" and not just because I forgot spare Keys existed, nossir~
Joe still hasn't made a teleportation and/or portal system to get people into and out of the Workshop, or even just to other secure locations, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for Aisha to still not have gotten a Warehouse Key after all of this time.

Joe just never rolled 3rd pair duh. So he and Garment are the only ones with access. Aisha can even comment how after years everyone else in the Forge were mildly annoyed by it.
There is one very valid reason: keys only work in the local multiverse, and (canon) Worm multiverse does not include AU versions of Earth Bet.
You're also not supposed to be able to leave Jump like that, but that restriction only applies to Jumper and official Companions.

Well, don't jumps traditionally only last 10 years? And this is specified to be 10 years later....

While I was writing the omake, I already had some thoughts in mind about this. Nothing about the key - I literally forgot that Aisha could have one - but more on why Joe hadn't just went and rescued Aisha himself the moment she got herself stuck in canon. After all, if Aisha could get herself in there even by accident, Joe could do just that but better, right?
The answer is because it is a matter of time. Joe hasn't rescued Aisha yet not because he doesn't want to or isn't capable of doing it - it's because the time differential in Worm canon and BCF is literally 1:1,000,000 speed. The time she has stayed hasn't even been a minute in BCF-verse, and Joe hasn't even been informed yet. It's for two reasons: one, so Joe doesn't just go solve Aisha's problem for her all over again, and Aisha's real challenge is to somehow figure this out herself and find a way to sync the two dimensions together enough to enable communications again, and two, it is so a joke could be made about the pacing of BCF and how we're taking RL years just to get progress done in days.
I suppose I could just extend that explanation over the key. She can't connect to the Workshop because the workshop is literally so out of sync of her personal timeline.

I like it and would love to read more of it.
But if you're continuing this, you might want to think about giving it it's own thread so that we can talk about it without clogging up this thread.
I really don't like this interpretation of Aisha.
Sure, is described as such in canon but not once do we see her acting dumb. Quite the opposite actually.
I would describe her as having a above average intelligence, although lacking in education, low boredom threshold and some impulse control issues.

It's just her underestimating herself after years of exposure to the Celestial Forge. Note who she is comparing herself to here - literal unleashed AIs and gods in humanoid form. She's actually way smarter and wiser than she believes she is.
Might do just that once I have a couple more chapters prepped, but at the moment I really want to see more of what Aisha could do in the actual fic. Even her Semblance would do.

Regarding the main story, I confess that I am enjoying the interludes more than the Joe PoVs. An Armstrong interlude could be nice, no?
While yes Slash Emperor and Ea are stupid strong, and Joe face tanks those like a champ. Does he have anything to counter concepts? Like I don't know, our favorite Grandpa and Grand Assassin The First Hassan's Noble Phantasm. The First Old Man of the Mountain can impart the concept of death on anything, and to a lesser degree Shiki's Mystic Eyes allowing to see the lines of death to kill anything. Like the Man affected Tiamat in the Babylonian Singularity.

Against concepts, it's hard to argue one way or another. But for Shiki, I'd say yes, Joe is resistant. As far as I know, MEoDP lines need to be cut or stabbed for the effect to work. Problem is Joe can't actually be damaged with Armsthrift applied to him, he just doesn't get injured. So if the prerequisite for MEoDP to work is for the lines to be cut/point's stabbed, well, it just wouldn't happen, because the knife would just bounce off Joe. The lines/points still exist, just Shiki can't cut/stab them.
For Hassan… I dunno. He imparts the concept of death onto things, but he doesn't kill them outright by doing so.
Basically, anything that requires physical damage to proc, wouldn't work. But shit that just attacks his soul would, I think.

Considering how Galahad held off Old Man, I'd bet that current Joe stands a decent chance.

I meant Hassan's concept of death might not do anything. In a straight up fight, Joe's favoured, at least in my opinion.
His CoD was necessary for Tiamat, because she's a Primordial who literally could not die, afaicr. Apeiron is perfectly killable, he knows he is mortal. And I don't think the Forge has any Death-immunity perk, does it?

Well, Joe does have that Candle that keeps him alive from anything that will kill him. For 10 minutes anyway.

I thought MEoDP ignored durability, cause all the users can cut stuff that their weapons really shouldn't be able to cut. Like tables, hospital beds, and walls with just a finger or a box cutter through metal locks and doors. And that's not even touching on the intangible and insubstantial things they cut like electronic and digital signals, or the future, or a reality marble, a spatial warp
It can't be damaged, so it doesn't have a concept of death, unlike all those things you've listed (MEoDP a table and it's no longer a table, it's the pieces of a table, therefore it's "died") or something along those lines, it's been a long while since I've seen an explanation

While that is true, Fiat trumps it. Joe, thanks to Armsthrift and Fashion, is indestructible, completely and totally. For example, Sting ignores durability, but Armsthrift and Fashion as a combo completely negate everything except the knock back. So that means things they ignore durability are irrelevant.
Basically, Fiat says Joe is indestructible and cannot be damaged, therefore there is no physical attack in existence that can do so. When arguing between Fiat and anything/everything else, Fiat wins. Unless it's other Fiat.
