   Summary

   The anniversary of the worst day of his life finds Edward Elric drunk, exhausted, and fully intending not to survive the night.

   Then Roy Mustang walks into the bar.

   What follows is not healing. Not forgiveness. Not absolution.

   Just two ruined men recognizing themselves in each other for the first time — and choosing, somehow, to stay alive anyway.

   ( This is not a sequel to my other ishvalan AU works but a bit of a darker standalone exploration of survivors guilt that i didn't want to dampen the happier fics with haha)
