    Summary

    “Alphonse.” Edward’s eyes are glassy. He looks rattled. “Al, you…”

    Alphonse shakes. “I thought they killed you,” he whispers. “I—I thought—”

    Alphonse’s greatest strength has always been his ability to ask for help.

    Summary

    “Nǐ màn zǒu,” Edward repeats. Mustang nods. “So what’s it mean?”

    “Well,” says Mustang, “translated literally, it means ‘you walk slowly.’”

    Edward looks back and forth between his broken leg and his automail. “Deadass.”

    “I said that’s a direct translation, Fullmetal, it is not what it means.” 

    Edward struggles with pain.

    Summary

    Riza spots the burns marring the side of Edward’s face and neck, already weeping, and Roy watches the horror dawn on her face.

    “Colonel—”

    “They were going to kill me,” Roy grovels, the nerves hiking up his throat, Edward heavy in his arms, “he—Riza, help him.” 

    Edward does not know how flame alchemy works, much less how to work it safely.

    When push comes to shove—when desperate times call for desperate ditch-efforts—Edward works it anyway.

    Summary

    The nozzle of a gun presses into the center of Ed’s forehead.

    Roy thought he already reached breaking point. He was wrong.

    “Then kill me instead!”

    The world stops. The bastard holding Edward cocks his head in Roy’s direction, his grip on the gun and the trigger notwithstanding.

    “What?”

    “Kill me and take the Fullmetal Alchemist instead.”

    Roy will do whatever it takes to keep Edward alive.

    Summary

    Roy Mustang is an assassin who leads a team of thieves in conning and crushing corrupt corporations. He prides himself on being able to plan for any contingency, to have a con for every situation, a kill for every plot-gone-wrong. With his crew of thieves and grifters by his side, he evens the odds between the corrupt and the innocent, the gray between the black-and-white of this endless game of chess, and after five years in the game, he's sure he's seen pretty much everything.

    What he didn’t see coming, however, was the phone call from a six-year-old begging him to kill his uncle and save his brother.

    Or:

    Roy Mustang, thief and assassin extraordinaire, accidentally-on-purpose adopts two kids. It goes as well as can be expected.
