Summary
Steve's not usually oblivious - far from it, in fact. But he does have his moments.
Like when he didn't realize that the team was actually serious when they talked about Mjolnir being a magical weapon that only Thor could lift.
(Inspired by a head-canon prompt, in light of the comics-canon fact that Steve is actually capable of wielding Mjolnir. Full text of prompt is in the beginning notes.)

Summary
“Khalumet,” Aqael ponders one of these times, “Are we sinners, mahni?”
Fedil pauses, looking up from his notes very briefly. He doesn’t really know how to answer. Yes, but no. How to explain their family’s complicated relationship with sin and alchemy in the time they had before Teacher got back?
When he takes too long to respond, Aquel repeats in Amestrian, “Brother?”
“To some people,” Ed eventually answers. “Would you rather we didn’t talk about Alchemy this way?”
“...what language did Dad speak?” Al asks instead of answering, and Ed realizes he doesn’t know.

Summary
In unearthing the Nomu Factory, the Heroes and police of Japan discovered a body. This was not unexpected, but the nationality and uniform of the corpse in question… that was. Because this failed Nomu wore the uniform of Amestris, a war torn nation from the isolated continent of Atossa, where Quirks and modern electronics had never developed and never worked.
Edward Elric hoped he could retire from military service in peace, traveling Amestris while his brother Alphonse went to Xing. This is put on hold when now-Führer Mustang asks him to travel to the Outside, to the world beyond that was barricaded for centuries after the development of something called ‘Quirks’. A soldier has been killed and Amestris needs to know more about the Outside.
…
Or, Edward Elric and Amestris meet the greater world of Heroes and Villains. It remains to be seen who’s more traumatized by the encounter.
