    Summary

    (A re-write of "A Canticle for Things Forgotten")

    1908 • Ishval

    An uneasy ceasefire grips the ruins of Ishval, but near the medical station at Daliha, Amestrian soldiers are dying. Desperate to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, the 27th Infantry Division sends Riza Hawkeye and Solf J. Kimblee to smoke the assassin out.

    But Roy Mustang suspects Kimblee's aim isn't the death of one rogue Ishvalan.

    For Hawkeye has a secret, one the Crimson Alchemist hungers for... a power forged in fire.

    This is one of the two great labyrinths into which human minds are drawn: the question of duty versus predestination...

     

    There is an old story... perhaps you've heard of it. A man falls asleep and loses his way on the journey through life. He encounters a poet and the two begin a series of travels through Hell where they witness the many punishments for those who disobeyed God during their lives.

    Summary

    “Riza Hawkeye,” she lifted her glass in greeting.

    He inclined his head in return and took the chair next to her. “Roy Mustang. What brings you to a charity gig this evening?”

    (In which Roy Mustang is a national rugby hero and falls in love with neurotrauma specialist Riza Hawkeye as soon as he lays eyes on her).

    Summary

    Dairut is a crossroads. A settlement on the border of Amestris and the Great Desert, a hub of Ishvalan and Xerxian history, it is a place caught between past regret and future hope.

    In Central City, Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye prepare to return to Ishval for the first time. In Resembool, Edward Elric navigates the complicated minutia of his personal life, but remains unable to shake the feeling that his work in Amestris is not yet finished. In Dairut, Miles and the new Muhaddith break ground on Al’Arshif, the sacred Archive, in the hope of restoring a sense of continuity to their long-suffering people.

    Then archeologist Winnie Stokes uncovers an ancient relic in the desert. Then a mysterious cult called the Risen strip Captain Hawkeye from the Flame Alchemist’s side. Then something monstrous begins to stir in the mind of Selim Bradley. Five years after the Promised Day, Ed, Roy, and Miles must face an evil of apocalyptic scale, before it destroys everything they’ve worked for, and everyone they hold dear.

    Dairut is a crossroads. But Dairut is also the end of the line. Things are changing in Amestris, and not everyone will survive.

    Summary

    In the hospital, after the battle, the colonel and the lieutenant find ways to take their minds off nightmares.

     

    “This thing we do, sir,” she said, too tired for their typical misdirection. “Let’s not do it tonight. We can do it tomorrow, and the day after that, but I think it’d be…nice, if we didn’t do it tonight. Sir.”

    Summary

    After the Ishvalan Civil War, many state alchemists turned in their pocket watches, renouncing their commissions as dogs of the Amestrian military. Including Grace Lambert Rosin, the aging Kaolin Alchemist, who traded her weaponized alchemy for caregiving duties in the household of the Osterhagens, one of Amestris's most prominent families.

    But wartime promises are not as easily discarded as pocket watches. Eager to settle a debt to the former Kaolin Alchemist –– who saved the life of his beloved adjutant during the Civil War –– Colonel Roy Mustang promises Grace an audience with the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric, in the hope that the young prodigy can help Grace with a dangerous experiment, and restore a much-needed peace to the Osterhagen family.

    Aware of the Kaolin Alchemist's bloody history in wartime, Edward is not as trustworthy of "Gray" Rosin as his superior officer. What is the secret behind Rosin's reclusive charge, William Osterhagen, and what is the reason for the Kaolin Alchemist's profound interest in Alphonse, Edward's younger brother?
