    Summary

    --------

    Sebastian had a plan… Work freelance for a living, play with Sam and the band, keep life simple. It worked… until the freelance jobs dried up and his bills didn’t. Nine months into unemployment, he’s reduced to accepting a position as “Personal Assistant to the IT Manager.”

    It’s fine. Totally fine. At least it WAS fine until he walked into his new office, to see exactly who’s sitting behind that desk… And he realizes his new boss is the last person he ever expected, or wanted, to see again.

    Summary

    For an articulate man, Roy Mustang suddenly struggled to find the correct words.

    Every variation the Colonel concocted within his head sounded flimsy, harsh, or downright wrong. Unsettled and sick, the silence stretched between them for a handful of heart-clenching beats as suspicious golden eyes narrowed, continuing to sear into Roy’s soul. Realization reared its ugly head and delved a hand right into his chest, poisonous claws digging deep as it whispered odious remarks. He stared at the boy before him, feeling as if he was seeing him for the first time, an entire week’s worth of denial crumbling away.

    This couldn’t be happening, but it was.

    It was happening and he had been willfully blind to it like a pathetic coward. He’d chalked the flush of fever as something as simple as a cold. The same applied to the presumption of mood swings linked to age. Even the odd habits Roy had brushed off as quirks or stress...

    Never once did Roy think something more malicious had been at play, until now.

    "Edward… I don’t think you are very well right now.’’

     

    [Or, the one where Edward takes a little splash and everyone suffers]

    Summary

    After Termina, Daan spends the better part of three years glueing the fragments of his former life back together, perhaps as divine punishment for sticking his nose into bullshit that frankly didn’t concern him. However the news that Marcoh -his former friend and ally- is in deep shit with the mob forces Daan to reconsider his aggressively incurious stance.

    Summary

    Ed is not joining the military. He did his stint, sold what soul he had to a genocidal maniac with a heart of gold and followed him for the rest of his life. You don’t get that kind of luck twice. This time around he is staying in the civilian sector, keeping his head down and sharpening his guillotine.

    Or

    You don’t need to be a genius to spot that the only people profiting from this mess are smack dab in the centre, living it up behind three impenetrable walls.
