    Summary

    Dust still swirls in plumes around them, and he can still feel the shifting of debris as it settles. He sees his friends in only outlines, but their movements are clearly panicked and he still can’t really think but it scares him. His head hurts. His thoughts are like drifting clouds.
    Edward wished the lightheartedness could have lasted, but it never did. He always found a way to smother it.

    -or-

    Edward will never let somebody get hurt when it could be him instead. Roy Mustang just wants to keep the kid from killing himself before he's even a teenager.

    Summary

    It was only after being brought back from the dead that Edward truly understood the horror of human transmutation. A bout of insomnia, a stormy night, and a long train ride to Transylvania gave him plenty of time to reflect on that.

    Summary

    You’re not the only one who defined herself by battle. By the guts she’s spilled, by ten thousand yeerks dropped into empty space, by the constant constant internal battle of killing a family member. By the blood she tasted and the bones she broke and the role forced upon her and the loss, the constant reminder of loss. Crayak knocks on the dark matter that holds her, and a thousand fires and a thousand wars and a thousand evils explode outside their contained space.

    Summary

    Roy’s hands land on her shoulders. He’s so close to her all of a sudden, his eyes wide and lips trembling as he lingers on every possible detail of her face, until an unguardedly sweet smile finally spreads across his features. “You are so beautiful,” he says, his forehead dipping close to hers as he sways on his feet. “I thought I’d never see you again, Lieutenant.”

    Something inside Riza’s chest bursts open, like a mouth yawning. Or a dam breaking.

    Summary

    (title from Rina Sawayama's song of the same name bc im uncreative and idk how to title things)

    Sometimes, she feels regret that she can’t spend more time with him, fulfilling the nurturing and ever-present role a mother is called to fill in their child’s life. Sometimes, Aya’s thoughts drift to half-lidded eyes under darkly tinted glasses and shudders at the idea that he still lingers in their city as a permanent reminder of the wounds he’s inflicted on her and her precious son. But when she opens their door and sees Maki happily chatting with his neighbor, his classmate, and his childhood friend, she feels a bit better about everything. That’s why she’s all too pleased to see an extra pair of scuffed up sneakers next to the usual deposits by her entryway.

    Looking back, he always knew those halcyon days couldn't last - he had seen too much not to know what loomed on the horizon, yet on one blazing summer night in particular, anything seemed possible and he learned to believe in magic. For all that they would go through together, he would never forget the night she taught him to dance. First of 'The Weimar Tales' series.

    Summary

    Ed is more than six feet under, but still very much alive. He owes that to a crumpling street and collapsing building. It’s too dark to see, too cold to feel, and he’s certain he’s going crazy. Or maybe that’s just the concussion.
    All he can do is wait and keep breathing.

    “You must be Edward, right?”

    His grip on the door tightens. “Who’re you?” he asks, which is neither a confirmation or a denial.

    “You’re the eldest, aren’t you?” she inquires, which is not an answer. Mom always said to be suspicious of someone who answers a question with more questions. It means they have something to hide. “You look so much like your father—Hohenheim of Light. I knew him well.”

    Ed’s fingernails sink into the wood. He can feel Al’s anxious gaze searing into his shoulder blades.

    “My name is Dante,” says the old lady. “May I come in?”

    Summary

    Ed finds himself doing that a lot. Comparing. Constant observing, analyzing, and likening. It’s impossible not to.
    Not when he can always feel the dissonance, like an ache in every joint in his body he can't shake.
    Something is missing. Something is always missing, even after all this time. Some corner puzzle piece; the seventeenth word in a haiku; a final vowel in an invented language.

    or

    Just as life has settled down for Ed in Munich, haunted fragments of his past threaten to destroy the fragile balance he’s found with Noah and Alfons.
