   Summary

   It's Ten Years post-Promised Day, and with Fuhrer Grumman dead under suspicious circumstances, Ed finds himself dragged back to Central under Hawkeye's orders.

   What he'd assumed would be a simple trip soon turns into a whirlwind of danger, espionage, paranoia, and enough trauma to haunt Team Mustang for years to come.

   He probably should've known that donning military blues only ever lead to blood and heartache.

   -
   Or; a plot heavy and character focused fic that explores where the Team has found themselves ten years later.
