    Summary

    They were a mismatched bunch of country kids, snatched from their schools, tossed into hand-me-down Eastern uniforms, and thrown into a war they never wanted to be in and didn’t understand. Most of them were younger than his brother, making him the oldest one there, but not by a large margin. They stood there as ordered and they listened to the truck pack up and leave. Apparently, the guards that drove them there didn’t care to wait around for too long. They probably had better things to do than to watch prisoners blow up in a minefield.
    .....
    After civil war, Edward and Alphonse Elric are among child prisoners forced to clear minefields for the Amestrian military. Under Colonel Roy Mustang’s command, the boys face starvation, violence, and the constant threat of death. As hope fades and innocence is stripped away, Edward must protect his brother and the others, even as the world around them grows more brutal. This is a stark exploration of trauma, authority, and the bonds that survive when everything else is lost.

    Summary

    Ed decided to stall before they headed off to Dublith. Visiting Teacher could wait, and Winry didn’t have to go to Rush Valley right that moment, did she? Even Al was fine with sticking around a little longer! So he was completely justified in deciding to independently work on some government conspiracies.

    (Surely the phone booth wasn’t that far away, right?)

    Summary

    When Ed spends a month in Resembool "reconnecting" with his father, it's a little odd. When he returns requesting to be dismissed from the dorms so he can move in with Hoenheim, who just recently bought a place in Central, it's shocking. When things start to escalate from there, and Ed starts showing signs of something more, it's dangerous. Will Ed be able to seek out the help he so desperately needs? Will Roy and his team be able to get to the bottom of things before it's too late?
