    Summary

    Greed lazily watched them all work from the other side of the room, and Ed took a deep steadying breath. If he was like him (at least in the beginning) then he probably wouldn’t rat him out or start treating him different.

    Don’t be disgusting. Ling protested inside his head, hushed as if their sleeping companions could hear him. It’s Edward.

    Summary

    Ed and Ling’s new relationship is so new—new enough that Ling doesn’t want to mention Greed, knowing what Ed’s endured with the other Homunculi. But sometimes Ed looks at him with this curious glance, a furrowed brow, a twitchy smile—Ling knows what he’s wondering, but he can’t make himself offer anything. It’s all so new.

    Greed purrs in Ling’s mind, speak of the devil. Hey, Ling, he says amicably. Wouldn’t that Elric kid look so pretty on his knees for us?

    Ling has an immediate, physiological reaction to that information, and practices a quiet breathing exercise as well as he can as Greed pushes the image to the front of Ling’s mind. Ed with his hair pulled back, looking up at Ling with eyes hopeful—maybe even wanton—as he waits for Ling’s word.

    “Get out of my head,” Ling whispers, but it’s already out there, and he’s already seen it.

    Summary

    Susurration
    noun
    A barely heard sound, a whispering in the background.

    OR

    In which Buggy's fleet is attacked, and he has (more than) a bit of a breakdown. Spirals right into insanity, actually. Then Shanks finds him, and for the first time in 20 years get's a good nights rest. He can't understand why Buggy's in the situation he's in, or how he's managed to piss so many people off. He just hopes his crew on the Red Force will eventually learn to love the feral little ex-convict.

    Summary

    "I'd go to the Grand Line to finally kill myself then."

    A beat of silence passed as Law kept his foot on the lid. The group blinked once, then twice, before they all shouted in unison with their eyes bugging out of their sockets.

    "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

    ---

    Or, Trafalgar Law never became a pirate. Instead, he's just a depressed, unmotivated, suicidal maniac who wants nothing more than to die a miserable death. Revenge? Who gives a shit. Pirates? Whatever. The Marines? They can go to hell. He doesn't care, not anymore.

    Enter Luffy and his ragtag of misfits.

    Summary

    ''I used to think Fullmetal was a crude nod at your prosthetics...''

    Roy Mustang's words were laced with a thoughtful hum, and Edward tried not to feel hurt by the misassumption. Many heard his title and assumed it came down to his automail arm and leg. Ed had just hoped the Colonel - after everything - would've been different; that Mustang would've looked past Edward's ill-fitting uniform and cripplingly-heavy automail and only see him as a person.

    ''But,'' Mustang continued, pensive, ''I think they spelled your title wrong. You're not Fullmetal, you should be Fullmettle. As in, you are full of mettle.''

    Edward blinked, utterly baffled.

    ''Mettle, kid. M-E-T-T-L-E.''

    Mustang spelled it out for him. Literally. A genuine smile tugged at the Colonel's lips as he rumbled out a fleeting chuckle, affectionately sweeping a hand over the top of Edward's golden crown. The boy's throat constricted as an annoying warm blur suddenly invaded his vision. He had experienced more kind words and actions under this man's brief command than he had experienced in a long, long time.

    It was just a shame that it was only a temporary arrangement.
