    Summary

    It was when his vision started fading that Ed distantly realized that he might die.

    No one was there, no one was coming, and no one would find him when he did die. He would be left down in this god-forsaken sewer, a fucking sewer, of all places, and Al would never know what happened to him. And for fuck’s sake, even he didn’t know what had happened to him, because he couldn’t fucking remember.

    ------

    Ed wakes up in a sewer. Things don't get much better from there.

    Summary


    He needs to get the potion first, reaching out, grasping for it, needing the cool press of it between his fingers, curled safely against his palm, an odd heat along the scar that marrs the swell of his thumb. (Harry sways, closing his eyes for a moment, although he doesn't even know it, doesn't know how his hair lifts a little, something about his skin seeming to glow for that fraction of a second-)

    It's pulled back, away from him, in the next moment, long fingers plucking the decorative phial away.

     

    ~~~

    Harry comes across a potion and he knows, instantly, that he needs it, that if he could just take it, something oh-so wrong would be fixed.

    If only he knew what was wrong, or really anything at all.

    Summary

    Pretty much everyone in or around Central Command knew that there were three things about The Fullmetal Alchemist that you simply couldn’t insult if you wanted to keep your life. His height, his brother, and his handwriting.

     

    (aka; I project my own bad handwriting onto my favorite character in honor of October 3rd because there's no way a kid who lost his dominant hand doesn't have shit handwriting now)

    Summary


    Harry might be an adult, the war might be long-over, but that doesn't mean that life is perfect. No, seventeen years of pain and magic and neglect has taken its toll on his body, has left him with flare-ups of aching joints, trembling hands, mud-slow mind.

    But he also has Ron and Hermione, his very best friends in the entire world. Harry gets to live with the two most amazing people possible who look after him, want the best for him, and they're here for him on days like this, when his mind and body fight against him.

    He's beyond grateful to have their warmth.

    Summary


    Roy wakes up in the middle of the night to a noise; it's not an intruder, nor a remnant of his nightmares, but rather Edward, trapped in a nightmare of his own.

    So, of course, he does what he can to help the kid, as much as Edward will let him.

    ~~~

    Gasping, Edward surges up, forwards, hands grasping, and his forehead smashes the underside of Roy's chin. Luckily, or not, the hand now twisted into the front of his sleepshirt stops him from recoiling away from the kid's bedside.

    "Hey, oi, Fullmetal, Edward, you're fine. Breathe through it."  Golden eyes, fever-wild, dart across the room, finding the shadows, the exits, Roy, the shadows once again.

    "Bas'ard?"

    "Reporting for duty," he mutters, half on default and mostly in the vague hope that the familiar sarcasm might help the kid ground himself. Maybe it does, because something in his eyes seems a little clearer, finally, but maybe not much brighter for it.
