    Summary

    When Edward shows up bleeding on Roy's doorstep past midnight, Roy expects to treat the wounds and get answers. He gets both, but the wound that takes longest to address isn't one he can stitch closed.

    Somewhere beneath the recklessness and the blood is a belief Edward has been carrying for years: that his life only has value when he's spending it for someone else.

    Summary

    It was a stupid mistake. A silly, stupid mistake. It was never supposed to escalate this much. It was never supposed to cause this much trouble.

    He grabbed the wrong briefcase. That was it. That was all.

    He didn't know it would be this dangerous.

    And now, one by one, his entire team is going to fall. All because of one stupid, silly, little mistake.

    (Or the one where Havoc goes straight up Rambo, Hawkeye gets a taste for human flesh, Fuery uses his Fuery-ness to get himself out of this situation, Falman stabs a man or two, Mustang learns a new use for flame alchemy, Ed learns about the wonderful world of torture and espionage, and Breda just wants a nap)

    Summary

    A gloved hand landed on his back, successfully breaking what little concentration Ed had been keeping to stay balanced, and his face was very quickly planted in wet and sticky sand. He tried to get up, tried to force his body to work, but nothing helped. A pained whine left his throat, and the gloved hand was now trying to push him onto his back.

    A sound fell from his bloody lips, unheard by its owner as he was pulled to Roy’s chest. Ed couldn’t help but curl into the hold, burying his face in the Colonel’s jacket, no doubt staining it with his blood. Roy said nothing, or maybe he did, his chest simply vibrating as he started running, moving swiftly through debris and over discarded bodies. So many had fallen this day, and there was nothing they could do about it, not anymore. Funny how things work, as the last thing Ed saw before it all faded to black was his superior yelling something to him, fear plain in his eyes.

    Summary

    It doesn’t hurt.

    That’s what Neal tells Peter, unsure if he’s saying it as comfort—a reflexive response to the horror on Peter’s face—or merely as observation.
