    Summary

    Roy Mustang’s team was a well-oiled machine and he did NOT need a loose cannon in the mix. Especially a young punk fresh out of the academy, State Alchemist be damned.

    “How young?” The kid had already certified as a State Alchemist, so surely not too fresh out of the academy. Right??
    ------
    Roy finds himself a mentor to a young State Alchemist with a lengthy criminal record and he can't remember the last time he'd craved a drink before noon.

    Summary

    “People always talk about how bad the surgery is,” Ed told Hawkeye, “but you never hear people mention how much it sucks to have fifty pounds of metal hanging off your body. Bolts in your bones.”

    “What’s happening?” Mustang asked sharply, turning toward them with his clouded eyes still lingering a few feet over their heads. “Hawkeye? What’s Fullmetal doing? Is there something wrong with his automail?”

    Ed flicked the lighter again, waited a little more patiently this time, and inhaled. Then he gave Hawkeye a nod, giving in to the inevitable. The only reason Mustang hadn’t figured it out already was probably because Ed didn’t do a lot of... this sort of thing. The comfort thing. Mustang liked people to play into his expectations.

    “Edward came out to smoke opium,” Hawkeye said at last. “He says it helps with the pain from his automail.”

    Summary

    Eight years can make a lot of difference.

    Edward Elric, youngest State Alchemist in history, is 15 when Executive Order 3066 takes effect, turning a civil war into genocide.

    All State Alchemists are to serve at the front lines of Ishval and kill indiscriminately, humans turned weapons.

    --

     

    Ed shields his eyes against the blazing desert sun of Ishval and tries to ignore the way his white glove is stained red, pretends it’s oil instead of blood.

     

    There is a wave of heat from somewhere to his right and up ahead, yards away but unnaturally strong, and the wind carries with it screams and the smell of burning flesh.

     

    A shot echoes through the stillness of the high noon, and he counts to five in his head. Another shot.

    Summary

    Zuko had a life. It kind of sucked sometimes--a lot of the time, actually--but there was also some good stuff in there. Generally. Sometimes. Or, he hoped so.

    And this was that life.
