    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

    In cavorting, a buck will run towards a doe to signal interest in her. The doe will then leap in the air.

    I don't think either of them know this.

    Summary

    It feels like there are metal claws in Pomni’s lungs, tearing the soft tissue to a bloody red pulp. She’s curled into a ball in her sleeping bag, coughing into her blankets, her whole body wracked with pain. It’s like there’s something wet and sloshing inside of her chest, slowly drowning her. Every cough makes her head spin, and it’s hard to breathe, her throat choked with—

    A pillow is hurled across the low campfire, nailing her in the head.

    “Do you MIND?” Jax barks. “We are TRYING to SLEEP!”

    --

    OR: Pomni's lungs get corrupted. Pain ensues!

    Summary

    The attacks keep happening.

    Jax is hanging on by a thread. An increasingly tenuous thread that’s threatening to snap at any given moment. He’s beginning to hope for it, if only for the pain to stop.

    And then there’s Pomni. Stupidly earnest and recklessly kind Pomni.
