    Summary

    Elene Schafer is a self-taught alchemist capable of healing without the use of alkahestry.
    After declining to become a State Alchemist during the Ishvalan War of Extermination, she was put on the military's watchlist. While recruiting new forces, Colonel Roy Mustang and Lieutenant Hawkeye called on her, making a horrible impression and leaving each in the other's black books.
    Now, years later, Roy has reached out again - this time for his own reasons. When they join forces against the government that has hurt Elene so much, she learns just what kind of man Roy is behind the reputation, and it catches her off guard. As he learns the truth about her heritage and alchemy, he too is forced to put aside his previous assumptions.
    Left with their defenses down and curiosity piqued, the two work to figure out the truth behind the Ishval Conflict and the government's plot while trying to make sense of the feelings growing between them.
    Whatever happens, one thing stands - every give requires take. The rule of Equivalent Exchange must be honored.
