    Summary

    For Riza, shooting a gun was a means of control. But this, this right here is not control. This is the furthest thing from it as can be. She isn’t holding the killing thing in her hand so it has no power over her, no, she’s holding in her hand so it’s got power over him (and power over him is power over her). She can’t stop her hand from trembling, no matter how hard she grinds her teeth and tells her fingers to hold steady. They won’t obey her, because they know this is wrong. But no matter how much she wants to lower the gun, she knows that she can’t. Because she promised him.

    And Riza Hawkeye keeps her promises.

    Summary

    Roy Mustang has a basic understanding of what a father shouldn’t do: don’t run off and abandon your family, don’t transmute your child into a doomed chimera, don’t tattoo your alchemic research onto your daughter’s back—

    But as to what a father should do…well, that was a different matter entirely.

    Summary

    "'Can I give you something, Fullmetal?'

    Ed blinked at him through the sheen of tears, brow barely furrowing, before nodding ever-so-slightly.

    And Roy—

    Roy inched forward and wrapped his arms around the shivering child, combing one hand through his hair as he pulled him into a hug. He felt light , even with the automail, too light and too thin and shaking too much to not have gotten a cold or something of the like. Ed stiffened, whimpered, and Roy’s heart stopped in his chest, wondering if he’d gone too far, if he’d hurt Fullmetal, ruined everything—

    Edward curled into the embrace, buried his head in his shoulder, and burst into tears."
     

    Or:
     
    Edward Elric vanishes after what was supposed to be an ordinary mission. A year later, Roy Mustang gets a call that changes everything.
