    Summary

    For all these years, it starts with Fullmetal and Colonel Bastard, and ends shortly after. There’s not much to say after all, except the cursing on Edward’s part and the mocking on his. There is not much more to it.

    Until there is.

    or: a story of how it starts and how it ends.

    Summary

    He is lungfuls of ash and char-edged smoke; he is the skeletons the fire leaves behind. Broken glass. Blood in the sand. He’s remnants, now. Fragments of the consequences. That’s all.

    Summary

    Conceptually, attending Emperor Ling's coronation celebration is simple enough. In practice, it involves far too much trekking, yearning, bleeding, burning, hoping, running, and dodging of diplomatic catastrophes for Roy's tastes.

    Summary

    "Edward already knows Roy for who he is, and wasn’t fooled for a second by his smarmy grins, suave lines, or manipulative flattery; not that he ever required them in the first place. Edward knows his unsavory past, his story, his lofty plans, and Ed had personally walked through a certain kind of hell right alongside him to emerge victorious on the other side.

    And Roy...well, Roy had seen Ed at his lowest, darkest self, and picked him up by the collar and put him back on his feet - so to speak - and stood like a steady support at his back through his most intense and apocalyptic of conflicts.

    There is an easy and, dare he admit it, addictive sort of comfort that comes from having a rapport with a person like that, regardless of barbed dialogue and feisty banter that sometimes outwardly indicates a less than friendly inclination towards that person; he can only hope Ed mirrors this sentiment. After all, he keeps picking up the phone and returning his letters."
