    Summary

    The war in Ishval is beginning to wind down. The State Alchemists sent in by Fuhrer King Bradley have done their job well. The Flame Alchemist has amassed a reputation of the bringer of death and destruction- surpassing even Solf Kimblee in pure destructive capabilities. In a few more months, the war will be declared won, and the soldiers sent home.
    Alone on the outskirts of a deserted battlefield, Roy Mustang is caught in an explosion that would have been lethal if not for two things: the Flame Alchemist's quick reflexes, and a couple of doctors named Rockbell.
    Hiding from the military, he returns with them to Resembool, where he meets two young boys and their mother; good friends of the Rockbells and new family for the disgraced alchemist. But the military isn't done with him yet, and the homunculi still need their sacrifices.

    Or... Roy gets injured and ends up in the Elric household while Ed and Al are still young. The combination is rather explosive.

    Summary

    Chris usually wouldn't consider himself a very caring person

    So what if he notices Duncan flinching at the slightest touch or sudden noise? Or Gwen's blatant antisocial-ness? Or Ezekiel being weirdly casual about his objectively shitty homelife? Surely it doesn't mean anything.

    And so what if Lindsey's clumsiness seemed too extreme to be normal? Or Izzy seems to care too little about her own health and safety? Or Cody seems to be constantly covering his ears wherever he goes? It's probably nothing.

    And so what if Chris finds Owen's endless enthusiasm a bit charming? And the happy glint Harold gets in his eyes when Chris lets him ramble without interrupting makes listening to him just a little worth it? And the rare genuine smile Noah cracks when Chris not so discreetly hints towards a spot on the island he can read and no one would bother him makes Chris's ice cold heart thaw just a little?

    And so what if suddenly all the questionable and dangerous stuff he agreed to enact upon these children make him feel a bit nauseous when just weeks prior he was excited about hosting such an insane show?

    God….Chris was doomed.

    Alternatively: Chris learns he has a heart, and hates every second of it.

    Summary

    It was another lonely night, but devastatingly quiet. Mikasa’s fingers clawed into her own arms as she walked down the hall, hating herself for how much she wanted the sound of the Rumbling back because at least then, she knew where the titans were.

    Now, she didn’t.

    They were somewhere else. Moving along. Marching off to maim and massacre. It was quiet out there – so quiet.

    She wanted to be beside Jean again, feel him there, and it made her feel weak and stupid and lost, and Mikasa hated feeling weak and stupid and lost, but sitting on his bed last night, and feeling her dear friend be so near, not even an inch from her own skin, had been more relieving than she could have hoped.

    -

    Instead of spending one night in Shiganshina alone, such that canon suggests, both the Rumbling and Armin and Connie's journey take multiple days, leaving Jean and Mikasa without anyone except each other. This extended time leaves room for many things to grow, including unexplored feelings, implications for their country, and the volatile suspicion from dangerous Yeagerists who threaten both of their safety.
