    Summary

    A month after the Promised Day’s anniversary, Ed receives a letter from Central University, only to find out his application was rejected…due to him not receiving any sort of proof of education. Thankfully, General Mustang is able to pull a few strings and get him enrolled into high school so he can receive his diploma and attend college, much to Ed’s dismay.
    In all this uncertainty, one thing is certain: high school’s not ready to deal with Edward Elric.

    Summary

    “Are you sure he’s not just run off on his own?” Havoc could tell from his superior’s tone, even over the radio, that he was trying to calm himself down.

    “Fullmetal is down, 451 East Street, I need an ambulance, oh God please no….”

     

    “Is that… is that Edward?” Roy couldn’t keep the disbelief from his voice. How could he? He’d ridden in the ambulance with Edward a handful of times before, but the sight of the body bag was so foreign and ridiculous, it didn’t even register in his mind….

    And thus began the nightmarish incident that would take years off team Mustang's life.

    Summary

    ‘‘I used to think Fullmetal was a crude nod at your prosthetics…’’

    Roy Mustang’s words were laced with a thoughtful hum, and Edward tried not to feel hurt by the misassumption. Many heard his title and assumed it came down to his automail arm and leg. Ed had just hoped the Colonel – after everything – would’ve been different; that Mustang would’ve looked past Edward’s ill-fitting uniform and cripplingly-heavy automail and only see him as a person.

    ‘‘But,’’ Mustang continued, pensive, ‘‘I think they spelled your title wrong. You’re not Fullmetal, you should be Fullmettle. As in, you are full of mettle.’’

    Edward blinked, utterly baffled.

    ‘‘Mettle, kid. M-E-T-T-L-E.’’

    Mustang spelled it out for him. Literally. A genuine smile tugged at the Colonel’s lips as he rumbled out a fleeting chuckle, affectionately sweeping a hand over the top of Edward's golden crown. The boy's throat constricted as an annoying warm blur suddenly invaded his vision. He had experienced more kind words and actions under this man’s brief command than he had experienced in a long, long time.

    It was just a shame that it was only a temporary arrangement.
