Summary
A long time passed between The Promised Day and Ed showing back up in Roy Mustang's life as a bodyguard. Ed spent most of that time floundering without purpose. He takes a trip to Xing to see his old friend Ling Yao, and starts the long road to discovering who he really is.
Later, he's not sure he likes the person he's become.
This story fills in the gaps between the end of canon and the beginning of Conversations Over Coffee. It deals with the breakdown of Ed's marriage, and finally answers the question of why Ming-Yue is so mad at Edward all the time.

Summary
It's six years after the Promised Day, and Roy Mustang has purview over the day-to-day dealings of the State Alchemists. His medical records list him as beta, but Roy has a secret. He was prescribed suppressants because he couldn't handle the scents of the barracks at the Military Academy. He's tried to come off them, but something always drew him back to retaking them. Due to the medication, Roy's never understood what being an alpha is. When an explosion covers him in black market suppressants, he learns that he can't take the medication again.
Alphonse Elric, an omega, is rare and coveted. He learned alkahestry while in Xing and is a part of Heaven's Dance, a prestigious Xingese acrobatics troupe of unmated omegas. Although he's unsure about his sexuality, he's sworn off alphas for a reason. He's come back to Amestris because he has an idea that may change the face of alchemy. Creating arrays unlike anyone has seen is a challenge, and since Edward can't perform the science, Al needs help from someone who knows alchemy and can keep their mouths shut. That means military and, by extension, Roy Mustang.
When the two collaborate together, tempers will be tested, sparks will fly, and lives will be changed.

Summary
In unearthing the Nomu Factory, the Heroes and police of Japan discovered a body. This was not unexpected, but the nationality and uniform of the corpse in question… that was. Because this failed Nomu wore the uniform of Amestris, a war torn nation from the isolated continent of Atossa, where Quirks and modern electronics had never developed and never worked.
Edward Elric hoped he could retire from military service in peace, traveling Amestris while his brother Alphonse went to Xing. This is put on hold when now-Führer Mustang asks him to travel to the Outside, to the world beyond that was barricaded for centuries after the development of something called ‘Quirks’. A soldier has been killed and Amestris needs to know more about the Outside.
…
Or, Edward Elric and Amestris meet the greater world of Heroes and Villains. It remains to be seen who’s more traumatized by the encounter.

Would he?

Summary
“We are not naming our child Vanadium.”
Ed scowled, his spoon hovering halfway to his mouth. “What’s wrong with Vanadium?”
“It’s not even a name, Ed!” Winry smacked her hand to her forehead, then dragged it down her face. She’d been doing that a lot lately. “Besides, they’d probably be called Van for short. Would you even want that?”
Oh. He hadn’t thought of that. And he really didn’t want to unpack how he felt about it right now. The last time he had stirred up all that crap, punches were nearly thrown and three people ended up in tears. (No, Ed was absolutely not one of them, no matter what the colonel said.)
Winry and Ed are at odds about naming their first child. Riza and Roy do their best to help. For all four of them, the process dredges up some complicated emotions and bittersweet bygones.
(A story about Ed’s taste in baby names that evolved into . . . something more.)

He has to peel his tongue off the roof of his suddenly dry mouth and wet his lips before speaking. “Did you–” Voice cracking, Roy swallows dryly before attempting again. “Are you asking me to be your…. Sugar Baby?” He draws out the last bit, the words are foreign and downright strange on his tongue.

Summary
She listens to him pull in a breath, his voice taking on the sharp edge of alarm. “Lieutenant?”
Warmth runs over the back of her hand. Down her forearm.
“Lieutenant, is everything alright?” She can hear the downward turn of his mouth, the ridge that forms as his dark brows draw together. She knows the way his spine pulls straight, his hand gripping the phone receiver with knuckles blanched.
Shadows are beginning to fray the edges of her vision. A terrible weakness is sinking into her, heavy and bone-deep. She needs to hold pressure. She needs to sit down. “Colonel,” she says again, weariness and panic threading through the syllables.
Something drips from the bend of her elbow.

Summary
Edward likes things to hurt a little. It wakes him up, steadies him, excites and calms his system simultaneously. He has ALWAYS liked it. And maybe, maybe if he'd had a normal life, maybe if he'd been a normal kid, it wouldn't have turned into a giant fucking issue.
But he doesn't get to be a normal kid. He doesn't get to have a normal life. So instead, it becomes the literal definition of a 'fucking issue'.

Summary
Roy may or may not have assigned himself and Edward together on this particular research project. Who really cares anyway, what really matters is investigating these strange natural phenomena growing across Amestris’s wilderness and there is really no one better to invite along than the brilliant Edward Elric.
And if Roy happens to take a moment to notice how pretty the golden hour glows across the forest and Edward happens to be there, well then so be it.
