Summary
“Who are you?” she demands, and he reluctantly tears his gaze away from Telemachus to fix it on her. Gods, he has missed her. “You are not familiar to me.”

The Strength of Your Bite is Greater Than the Grip of Their Hands by friendlyforrest

Summary
They come in the dead of night.
It shouldn’t have been as unexpected as it was. The suitors have grown bold in their restlessness over the past few months. Their talks have turned to thinly veiled threats, actions a hand away from harm, and eyes burning with a loathing that would make the dead shiver.
The calm before the storm should have set alarm bells in Telemachus’ mind. In Penelope’s. Or hell, even some of the guards. The way that the suitors, but especially Antinous, seemed to be in high spirits the past month should have alerted them to some sort of plotting. They had held back, suspiciously so, from their usual haunts and taunts, giving Telemachus and Penelope room to breathe for once.
They should have known something was up. But with the past twenty years of waiting, tense and worrisome, the reprieve had been welcomed, not questioned.
They forgone looking the gift horse in the mouth and now it was snapping its rotting teeth at them.

Summary
“Tel, we need to talk,” He reminded him when they parted, Telemachus moved his head to the space between Neo’s neck and shoulder. He began placing open mouthed kisses to his skin.
Neo put a hand in Telemachus’s hair, running his fingers through it. “Not right now, Neo, please? You’ve been gone for so long,”
“It’s important-” Neo started, but a hand was put over his mouth. He found himself face to face with Telemachus again.
Telemachus looked at him pleadingly. “After, please?”
With Telemachus looking at him like that, he could never refuse him anything
OR
Neoptolemus needs to confess his no-longer-casual feelings towards Telemachus, but he made the mistake of leaving Telemachus alone for a month and the prince is understandably desperate. (Smut in chapter 2)

Summary
“Father Viktor has brought back all those programs you whined about missing. The East Hall is being converted into a soup kitchen as we speak, and after Mass there’s going to be an open-doors Christmas meal,” his mother says wistfully, drinking in a sip from her mug.
Jayce is going to have to see that for himself. His high income neighborhood and the prestigious, self-righteous families that attend the Church? Rubbing elbows with people in need for the holidays?
Maybe he really does need to meet Father Viktor. And shake his hand.
─── ⋆⋅ ♰ ⋅⋆ ───
Or: Jayce comes home for the holidays after a breakup to find a new priest at his childhood Catholic church. Father Viktor is not the kind of person Jayce ever expected to be a priest, but he has a dream to change Jayce's hometown for the better, and he decides to do everything he can to help. The more he helps, the more Jayce sees glimpses of Viktor, the man, not the priest. And the more glimpses he sees of Viktor, the more Jayce is so, so fucked.

Summary
“Now… this intruder who spirited young Vestra away, you say his appearance was a mirror image of your own?”
“Well…not quite…” Ferdinand trailed off, frowning, “The man appeared to be several years older than myself… and his hair… it was…”
Like yours, the thought nibbled and scratched unnervingly at his mind as his eyes drifted to the seafoam ringlets spilling out spilling out from her ornate crown and cascading down her back in vibrant, green spools.
Ferdinand shook the thought away with a scowl. Surely, such a detail was a mere coincidence.
While attending to stable duties, Ferdinand witnesses a twisted version of himself from an alternate timeline abduct Hubert. While Ferdinand readies a rescue mission that transcends the bounds of reality, Hubert works to survive and seek a way to escape from his new prison and the warped attentions of his captor.

Summary
“When I transmuted Alphonse’s soul, our souls crossed over. That was why he was able to maintain a body on the other side—half of the food I ate went to him,” Edward said. “I think when I took us out of Gluttony’s stomach using the transmutation circle, the same thing happened. I think we’re connected in the same way. So, if I die, you die.”
Ling stared at him.
It took a moment for that suggestion to sink in. He leaned backwards, frown tightening across his face. Ling scratched the corner of his jaw. Finally, he said, “Fuck.”

"'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
It was rather unusual for a twelve-year-old to have two full-replacement automail limbs. Edward typically tried to cover every inch of skin and metal to avoid the questions, but unfortunately, it couldn’t always be helped. When asked the question, “How’d you lose your limbs?”, the usual story was that Ed had lost them in the Eastern Conflict.
But what if he decided to take a more… interesting approach? After all, if Al wears the armor as a hobby, why can’t Ed have lost his arm against a bear?
…
Or, Fullmetal Alchemist where everything is the same but Ed comes up with increasingly more insane ways for him to be short a few body parts.

Summary
Keigo isn't a fan of fires. Bad for the wings, worse for the avian lungs. But he's a hero, and he'll go where he's needed, help out where he can. People love the assistance of a top ten hero, after all.
Or so he thinks, until one smokin' firefighter tweaks his feathers just the wrong way.
---
Touya doesn't hate heroes, but he's not their biggest fan either. In fact, his favorite pastime is sarcastically thanking his dad over Twitter for keeping him in the job. Still, life is good as a firefighter. Actually pretty fun, with all the shit Station 69 gets up to.
Until Pro Hero Hawks starts hanging around.
Then life gets downright interesting.
