Summary
Nothing about this scenario could have seemed more perfect. Life was peaceful now. No wars. No death. No danger. Just the quiet serenity of the hills and the joys of life. And best of all, Edward had come home, fulfilling his self-imposed duty to bring his brother Alphonse with him in the flesh. Oh yes, everything was perfect… …And Winry Rockbell was livid.

Summary
It would be nice...a normal date. She thought for a moment before nodding "Ok...on one condition" she said.
"What do you need?"
She didn't know why those words made her heart skip a beat, but she shook it off and continued "You need to get some proper fucking furniture Robert."

Summary
When Robert reaches the door, he doesn’t care to check the peep hole. Lazily tugs the chain lose and pulls the door partially open, regarding the visitor with a confused look.
For some reason, it takes a second to click. His confusion remains steady at the sight of Courtney stood in the hall, looking up at him with a shitty plastic bag in one hand and her phone in the other.
She hadn’t called. The hospital hadn’t gotten in touch. He’s sure nobody had heard from her since the incident, and to see her stood before him filled him with a mix of relief and bewilderment.
She shifts her weight uncomfortably between both feet, mulling over what to do next.
”…Do you know how to redress wounds?”
[or: how I believe things went after the dispatch finale]

Summary
another explosion comes and goes and, as usual, refuses to take robert with it. with the fate of the suit uncertain, he’s forced to confront the truth he’s been avoiding: the suit might never give him the ending he’d spent half his life expecting. which leaves him with the one outcome he’s utterly unprepared for—being alive in a room full of people who actually give a shit.
(aka, everyone was way too chill about robert almost exploding in the lab, including robert.)
