    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

    Little boy, little one / Night is falling / Come into my arms / Let me hold you safe / But still you run / Through the twilight / Lost in your play / Slaying demons in the shadows / Little boy, little one / Full of grace full of joy / Oh, my heart will break / For I see in your eyes:

    You are your father’s son,
    Not your mother’s child.

    The title is from Gilraen's linnod: Ónen i-Estel Edain, ú-chebin estel amin (I gave hope to the Dúnedain, I have kept no hope for myself.)

    Summary

    This was a crack idea I had in the middle of a lecture and ended up filling up ten pages instead of listening to my teacher of:
    What if Hotch became a foster parent after losing Haley and Jack in child birth?
    So he had a foster home, but ends up adopting most of the kids that he can.
    These kids go to school and in this universe all those unsubs the BAU hunts... well now they are the disgruntled teachers, quirks and all. Well some of the unsubs/victims are students.
    Foyet is the school nurse.
    I just like Dad Hotch.
