    Summary

    When Ed used to think of the word home, he thought of green eyes, full of love and humor, and so much care. He thought of warm hands, soft and gentle. He thought of the smell of freshly baked pie and warm soup. He thought of hands running through his hair, a soft voice reading to him quietly while he snuggled up next to Al to sleep.

    Now, when Ed thinks of home, he thinks of a building going up in flames that he started. He thinks of fire crackling wildly but somehow contained. He thinks of the smell of smoke, so strong, finally something strong enough to block out the smell of blood. He thinks of ash, floating through the air and enveloping him, inside and out, so completely that he sneezed out black flecks for days after. He thinks of the sound of armor creaking from one side of him, the sound of sniffling from the other.

    Or, Edward Elric and his feelings about the concept of 'home'.

    Summary

    Mustang had the good sense not to try and back away. In fact, it seemed like he couldn’t so much as move at all.

    He didn’t shrink back when Alphonse loomed over him. Looked at him without seeing him, eyes fixed somewhere in the middle distance, expression rigid.

    “I—” His voice no more than a whisper. “God, Alphonse, I …”

    “You burned him”, Alphonse hissed.

    “I—I didn’t mean—” The words died in Mustang’s throat when Alphonse reached out towards him.

    “No—Alphonse!” He ignored Hawkeye’s voice behind him. Ignored the familiar sound of her drawing her gun. She could shoot him all she wanted.

    Perhaps then he’d finally hurt.

    Summary

    Everything hurts. A bone-deep ache that has his head reeling, and he has to take a few deep breaths before the urge to hurl subsides a little. He doesn’t even have to move -luckily -to know that it’s raining outside. Even if he couldn’t hear the rain beating away on the window, he’d know.

    Because this is what happens every time it rains. It turns the background thrum of pain in his thigh and shoulder into screaming agony that spreads to every part of his body like poison, until he can’t move, until he has to force himself to remember to breathe, just breathe, through the pain.

    Summary

    Edward guts him with his eyes, with his glare. He looks distressingly close to tears.

    “I’m not letting go of you.” Edward squeezes Roy’s wrist until it hurts. Until Edward’s adrenaline and fear shake down Roy’s skin and sink into his bones. “S-So stop—stop being a dumbass and help me—”

    The kid’s voice finally breaks open, raw and wet and scared. It strikes Roy’s core deeper than any bullet. Any knife.

    Any impact.

    Ed’s glare comes down on him fiercely. Roy is about to earn it.

    A mission goes very, very wrong.
