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
"'Can I give you something, Fullmetal?'
Ed blinked at him through the sheen of tears, brow barely furrowing, before nodding ever-so-slightly.
And Roy—
Roy inched forward and wrapped his arms around the shivering child, combing one hand through his hair as he pulled him into a hug. He felt light , even with the automail, too light and too thin and shaking too much to not have gotten a cold or something of the like. Ed stiffened, whimpered, and Roy’s heart stopped in his chest, wondering if he’d gone too far, if he’d hurt Fullmetal, ruined everything—
Edward curled into the embrace, buried his head in his shoulder, and burst into tears."
Or:
Edward Elric vanishes after what was supposed to be an ordinary mission. A year later, Roy Mustang gets a call that changes everything.Series

Summary
Sapnap is in love with his best friend.
George's best friend is in love with him.
Sapnap is alive.
George... Well, George is a ghost.
*****
“Ah, yes, because you’re so terrifying.” Sapnap mocks him with a smile of his own. Despite his outward show of confidence, Sapnap finds himself twisting that ring again. It’s a comfort on his finger, just slightly heavy and cool from the chill of the weather. A tiny bit of himself feels bad that he just took it where he found it rather than looking for a rightful owner or something, but it just feels so right on his hand. Like it was meant to be there. Sapnap doesn’t really believe in things like that, but if he did he might even call it fate. Dream would probably laugh at him if he ever said that, though. So he won’t.
George just gives him another shrug. “I guess that depends on what you find menacing.”
They reach the Southern gate and George pauses in place. Sapnap takes a step toward it before twisting to George again. His lips curl up and he waves his hand. “I’ll catch you later, George.”
“I’m sure you will.” George waves back to him. Creases sink around his cheeks and eyes as he smiles. He’s got a gorgeous smile.

Summary
The royal family of Antarctic empire isn’t exactly close.
Emperor Philza is always occupied; Tommy hasn’t seen Techno in months, and even if Wilbur is here, their relationship can be described to be strained at best.
The royal family doesn’t need to be close, however, it only needs to be balanced, like the pillars holding the country above their heads – as long as they are strong and steady, the Empire will be too. It’s the principle that held Tommy’s back straight and his shoulders broad through the years of hardships and trials of errors; through yet another formal meeting where his father’s gaze would look past him and where his brother’s words would be filled with poison that makes the deepest parts of his soul ache.
At that time, Tommy couldn't know that his family would find a replacement for him in the face of a commoner boy named Ranboo.
~🦋~
Tommy's family has replaced him. It's only fair that he gets to do the same.

Summary
Peter Parker thinks he has everything figured out. Where he can eat, sleep and make a little bit of money.

How to keep his entire situation under wraps and most importantly, who he can trust.
Then, along comes Tony Stark with an offer he can’t refuse. The plan is to remain professional, to not get too close to the Stark-Rogers’ family. Not getting comfortable means not slipping up and saying anything that he can’t take back.
...but for Peter- things rarely go as planned...
