Two friends spar and talk and remember what they’ve lost, and Tenya finds his footing.

Summary
“We are not naming our child Vanadium.”
Ed scowled, his spoon hovering halfway to his mouth. “What’s wrong with Vanadium?”
“It’s not even a name, Ed!” Winry smacked her hand to her forehead, then dragged it down her face. She’d been doing that a lot lately. “Besides, they’d probably be called Van for short. Would you even want that?”
Oh. He hadn’t thought of that. And he really didn’t want to unpack how he felt about it right now. The last time he had stirred up all that crap, punches were nearly thrown and three people ended up in tears. (No, Ed was absolutely not one of them, no matter what the colonel said.)
Winry and Ed are at odds about naming their first child. Riza and Roy do their best to help. For all four of them, the process dredges up some complicated emotions and bittersweet bygones.
(A story about Ed’s taste in baby names that evolved into . . . something more.)

Summary
It was as familiar to Bobby as any of his old, half-chewed ball caps: an ugly little charm he gave to Sam almost two decades ago as a present for John. The same one he saw bouncing around Dean's neck instead of John's the next time the boys came to visit — and every time thereafter. The same one he watched Dean reluctantly hand over to the angel, and the same one that hadn't reappeared around Dean's neck, even though it was old news that Cas had returned from his fruitless search.
He'd never asked Sam what happened, and he didn't ask him now. Nor did he ask him why it was Bobby, not Dean, the kid was holding the charm out to. "Of course," was what he said instead, reaching for the necklace. "I'll keep it safe."
The whereabouts of Dean's amulet in seasons 5–7, as told through a series of conversations between Sam and Bobby.
