    Summary

    Mustang had pulled him out of the mire once before. He’d lit the fire and given Ed purpose when he was at his absolute lowest, when he thought there was no way he could possibly go on. It was too much to expect him to do it again. But then, Mustang always had been good about doing whatever the fuck he wanted.

    Summary

    Ed is twenty-two and has known Roy Mustang for almost half his life, and has watched him claw and scratch his way up the ranks of bureaucracy, has watched him send gouts of flame on trust alone, has seen him broken down in the rain and bright eyed in the sun. Ed knows that Roy Mustang is, at his heart, a good man.

    This fact, although Ed- ah, appreciates said fact, is going to make this a lot harder than it needs to be.

    Summary

    Progress was the natural goal of any alchemist. To learn, to improve, to grow. It only made sense that Ed could chart his and Mustang’s over the years like a tangible thing. Then again, when you started at the bottom, the only way to go was up.

    Or: five times their touch led to goodbye, and the one time it didn’t.

    Summary

    Ed is late after being held up by drunk, sexist cops. Roy is not pleased. Gender roles are questioned. A (hopefully non-problematic) subversion of the typical "Ed-hates-being-called-a-girl" trope.

    Summary

    “Give me a bit of credit. I’ve known you long enough to know what it looks like when you’re in the midst of doing something foolish.”

    Ed's never managed a lack of knowledge with anything like grace.
