Summary
When Major Edward Elric was sent on a mission to England, he had expected the usual pointlessness that he would soon forget about. Instead through a series of unforeseen events, he acquired a three month old child. Though young himself, he vowed to raise the child to the best of his ability and keep him safe.
AU where Harry Potter is adopted by Edward Elric.
