Summary
"Fullmetal—?" Mustang begins. A question in his voice. He probably wasn’t expecting Edward to come in, what with the rain and all. But Edward cuts him off, his brain circling.
"Where's Hawkeye?"
Mustang opens his mouth. But Edward's gaze snags on the medical kit, and the anxiety that flares in his chest is sudden and unreasonable and very, very familiar.
"Where's Hawkeye?" he repeats, frantic.
"Relax," Mustang says. "She has a fever. She’s been home—she's fine."
Fever. Edward registers the word. Registers the date, too, the way it sits at the back of his mind like something with weight. He doesn't feel relieved.
Or; Hawkeye is sick, and Edward can’t see anything else but the pale, fevered face of his mother and decides he won’t let it happen again.

Surprisingly, Edward Elric's first steps are for his father.
His last steps are for his brother.
(Everything in between is just learning to step forward.)

Summary
"Deep breaths, please. All the way in."
Edward complied without much fight, though his brow twitched with early irritation.
"I’m fine," his voice muffled through the plastic.
"Doesn't matter, Major." The medic's tone was professionally blunt. "No offence, but you're much more likely to develop complications than any other soldier here. Smoke exposure just compounds it."
Edward bristled immediately. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Means you're a walking medical liability, Chief," Havoc called out cheerfully, cigarette dangling from his lips. "High maintenance."
Or; Edward and his struggle to ask for help.

Summary
There’s a killer in East City. And they’re targeting children.
With the investigation crumbling and bodies piling up, Colonel Roy Mustang makes a calculated choice: send the Elrics away. Keep them moving, keep them out of reach.
But missions stack. Leads vanish. Edward’s running on fumes—and Roy’s running out of time.
Because monsters aren’t the only thing that can break a soldier. Sometimes, it’s the people trying to protect them.

Summary
There's a man running towards you and the golden-haired boy.
“Sorry about that,” he says easily. “That’s my son you’ve got there—”
The boy makes a sound. It's not a word, but it’s close to one—close enough to be no.
“—thank you for catching him. I was so worried.” He steps forward, arm outstretched, like he’s about to take the boy back by the collar.
You move first.
You take a full step back, shielding the kid behind your legs.
Or, you’re not a good person. You know that. But you’re not a monster either.
So when a kid comes running, terrified, bruised, and silent, you catch him. You shield him. You don’t know why. Instinct, maybe. Or guilt.
But either way, you don’t let go.

Summary
“That was a nice thing you did today,” Hawkeye said abruptly. Ed shrugged. “I know you don’t like to share personal stories often.”
“It was nothing,” Ed dismissed without looking at her. “Havoc just needed someone to tell him it’d be alright even if he did lose his legs.”
----
Ed has some experience getting used to a new disability.

Summary
Mustang doesn't expect Fullmetal to stay with the military after they return home from the war. He's just glad they share the train ride home. It's enough for him to prove that the kid actually survived and is, at the very least, okay.
He's looking forward to things returning to the way they were before. Minus Fullmetal, of course. But the weeks tick by with no sign of a resignation letter. Mustang should know better than to hope the kid will do what's expected of him.

Summary
Alphonse Elric doesn’t feel whole anymore. Ironic, considering he finally is. He sits in his bed and looks out the window and he can feel the warmth of the sun. He feels the draft of the cold air through the cracked window and the rough sheets beneath his body. After nearly four years in a metal suit of armor, he doesn’t take these things for granted.
Still, something isn’t right, and he doesn’t know what.
OR
Ed’s home from the war and he brought a philosopher’s stone with him. They get Alphonse back, mostly. Neither of them are really okay. Al just wants a break, but they’ve never been that lucky.
(Can be read as a standalone)

When all combat capable State Alchemist are dragged back to the front lines, Mustang does what he can to keep Edward out of it.
