A beautiful piece that focuses on making the mundane task of getting ready interesting. It highlighted the scars and struggles of the past while focusing on the present moment, and it showed how the relationship between Riza and Roy developed over the years. I loved (and found myself impressed) that the author captured their personalities in under nine hundred words. I would recommend!

A post-promised day reunion between Ed and Win, who have been separated because of war. In it, the two of them focus on their relationship and what it means to them, and their bond is highlighted by the endearing moments sprinkled throughout the work. It was a sweet little read.

Bookmarker's Notes
A wonderfully written piece that follows the harmful aftereffects of disability, alongside the protectiveness that follows from loved ones.
It had great cameos of all the characters—even the side characters got a good amount of love—and it was super easy to visualize.
It had beautiful art as well.

Summary
Right before the right arm was torn from its owner’s body forever, Truth paused, considering its options. A better punishment came to mind.
Nothing as petty as another limb, easily replaced by hunks of machinery and nerve connections. No, Truth thought, Edward Elric would be taught a lesson. Little boys who thought they could defy God, not once, but twice, had a special place in hell, reserved just for them.
Instead of a chunk of his body, Truth would take a chunk of his mind.

Bookmarker's Notes
It has an interesting concept, and I love the way the author wrote about the characters. It mainly follows Ed—with his experiences post-asylum—and focuses on repairing lost relationships and overcoming the still prominent psychosis that landed him in the asylum, with a smaller cameo of the rest of the team and Roy.
It currently has two chapters, but it’s a lovely read.

Bookmarker's Notes
A bittersweet work that focuses on the effects of trauma—both physiological and psychological— shown through Ed and his loved ones. It captured their feelings of guilt well, and was overall pretty fluent at portraying each character similarly to their canon personalities. I enjoyed the usage of the lullaby as a coping mechanism, and I think it was a nice touch to their closeness.
