Summary
Roy Mustang’s team was a well-oiled machine and he did NOT need a loose cannon in the mix. Especially a young punk fresh out of the academy, State Alchemist be damned.
“How young?” The kid had already certified as a State Alchemist, so surely not too fresh out of the academy. Right??
------
Roy finds himself a mentor to a young State Alchemist with a lengthy criminal record and he can't remember the last time he'd craved a drink before noon.Series

Summary
For an articulate man, Roy Mustang suddenly struggled to find the correct words.
Every variation the Colonel concocted within his head sounded flimsy, harsh, or downright wrong. Unsettled and sick, the silence stretched between them for a handful of heart-clenching beats as suspicious golden eyes narrowed, continuing to sear into Roy’s soul. Realization reared its ugly head and delved a hand right into his chest, poisonous claws digging deep as it whispered odious remarks. He stared at the boy before him, feeling as if he was seeing him for the first time, an entire week’s worth of denial crumbling away.
This couldn’t be happening, but it was.
It was happening and he had been willfully blind to it like a pathetic coward. He’d chalked the flush of fever as something as simple as a cold. The same applied to the presumption of mood swings linked to age. Even the odd habits Roy had brushed off as quirks or stress...
Never once did Roy think something more malicious had been at play, until now.
"Edward… I don’t think you are very well right now.’’
[Or, the one where Edward takes a little splash and everyone suffers]

Summary
Winry hugs Al tight enough to almost hurt. A hug that screams that she doesn’t want to let go and that she doesn’t want him to leave. A sentiment that he honestly shares, there’s a part of him that wants to stay, but his brother needs him. Al feels some of the air wheeze out of his body.
It’s that automail engineer grip.
“Don’t worry, Winry.” Al gently pats her back, trying to be reassuring. Hoping that the smile he offers her meets his eyes. “Everything’s gonna be fine.”

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.

Summary
Once again, their father was praised for pulling some sort of miracles when he lived in Resembool. Edward scowled to himself, of course, if their jerk of a father hadn’t left, then maybe they wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place. Maybe he would have performed whatever the “miracle” everyone speaks of for his family. Then she wouldn’t die, she would be safe and they would be happy again. Just like it was before…when their Mother's smile was never forced. If Edward could just find him…he looked over to Alphonse who met his gaze and gave him a concerned look.
“You're scheming something, aren’t you brother?”A What If where Edward becomes a chimera.
