Summary
He’s seen many different cultural approaches to childcare. Amestris’ is rather stagnant, comparatively. Xing believed in gentle movement for infants, and built all sorts of wood cradles and hammocks for rocking their young. Ishvalans kept infants on their backs for most of their early years, tied and swaddled in place with cloth, and shielded from biting sand.
Xerxes, well...
Here, and now, Amestrians believe that a baby should be kept indoors for its first few months–to protect their health, and their developing systems.
Hohenheim knows just enough about childhood development to question this, but not enough to truly challenge it. Time had proved him wrong before, science and understanding crawling away from him as he spent years turning over other stones. It was as if the world moved rapidly every time he blinked, blurring past him without notice.
-
Or: Hohenheim gets stuck taking care of his infant son by himself. He thinks about old Xerxian traditions. Ed spends most of the day screaming.

Summary
He has nightmares about his own death, sometimes. It’s never about the moment itself, the final sizzling heat of a blaster bolt or overwhelming, crushing pain. It’s about Al—sitting alone in one of his tiny little apartments that only contain the personal items Al can’t dare leave behind—waiting for his return. His slow realisation that Ed isn’t coming back. Roy or Riza coming to deliver the news. Absently, Ed has spent a lot of time wondering whether Roy will be able to face his brother the day he learns that Ed has died for his cause. Roy’s probably thought about it, too.
Or: Roy and Ed are Rebels in a harsh galaxy. This makes some things harder than they should be.

Truce to Navigation (Take another Station) by Poiby

Summary
During the day, the swollen timber of the ship hums and echoes with the singing of the crew as they work. At night, the ship’s flooring vibrates with ocean, whale and serpent song from far below them.
The crows nest is perhaps the closest he could get to solitude these days, but navigators don’t have any need to climb up the main mast.
Or: After a month of avoidance, Ed finally catches Mustang alone. They make up for a little bit of lost time.

Summary
It’s just how things have shaken out. He’s entirely a researcher now that he’s alchemy free and lacks any actual military training. It’s not like they need to stuff him into a bullpen or massive office where he has to suffer through stupid military regulation, mandatory firearm training, and fervent ass kissing. He likes the quiet of a personal office and the ability to do his work somewhere else whenever he feels like it.
The only issue is that when someone puts a cactus on your desk before you clock in, there isn’t anyone around to have witnessed it. Or: Ed experiences the hell that is having a secret admirer, except that is absolutely not what is happening here at all. Obviously. Royed week day 3: Flower Language

Summary
As Roy walked down Resembool’s main street, taking in the chaos, he proved himself right. The few locals who hadn’t locked themselves in their houses were stubbornly working in the fields. They avoided eye contact or stared openly. There was no excitement, no joy in seeing Amestris’ finest. Resembool was too close to Ishval for the mass of soldiers descending on their small town to be seen as anything other than a sign of future strife, and all of Resembool knew it.
Roy wanted to tell them that this was going to be over in a month or two. That there would be a smattering of concerning headlines in the paper, chatter on the radios, and then this would all be forgotten in two harvests. He wanted to tell them that any conflict on their horizons would stay contained and far away from their children. Instead, he kept walking.
Or: Roy meets an odd man in Resembool. He seems to need to tell Roy something.

Summary
Ed is twenty-two and has known Roy Mustang for almost half his life, and has watched him claw and scratch his way up the ranks of bureaucracy, has watched him send gouts of flame on trust alone, has seen him broken down in the rain and bright eyed in the sun. Ed knows that Roy Mustang is, at his heart, a good man.
This fact, although Ed- ah, appreciates said fact, is going to make this a lot harder than it needs to be.
