    Summary

    There was something they weren’t telling him. It wasn’t inconsequential, either, like the Colonel not telling him about an upcoming meeting or Al conveniently forgetting to tell him about the thirteenth kitten in his armour.
    No, this was something distinctly different.

    OR

    Ed gets injured on what was supposed to be a routine mission, but nobody's telling him anything, and people are being a little *too* kind to him. As he navigates his recovery- and discovering what happened- he might find something he's had all along: family.

    Summary

    "“I don’t get it,” Ed said, pulling back just enough to look at Mustang. He couldn’t read his expression through his tears, and that somehow made it worse.
    “It doesn’t make sense. What do you want from me?” His voice wavered despite his effort to keep it steady. “I’m a double amputee with a bad attitude. My own dad didn’t want me. Where’s the equivalent exchange?”
    He barely had time to breathe before two strong arms wrapped around him, firm and unyielding. Mustang’s voice rumbled against his ear, low and certain.
    “Don’t you know, kid? I’m a pirate. We don’t play by alchemists’ rules.” He huffed a quiet, humorless laugh. “When we see something we want, we take it. That’s the exchange.”
    His grip tightened just slightly. “You’re my kid. I don’t need you to give me anything else.”

     

    Roy Mustang and the crew of the Black Hayate sail from port to port, lending a hand to those in need. Along the way, they meet a kid with big dreams of becoming the world’s greatest alchemist. After Roy saves his life, fate pulls a strange twist of equivalent exchange, leaving him with something he never expected—a son.

    Summary

    A horrible disease pushs Ciel's precious little life on the brink of death. In order to save him, Sebastian offers him a new contract, but...

    "I can't lose you, you've become too precious for me. So, I will save you. For that, I must extend the contract. I will cure you of this disease, but in exchange you will lose something that is important to you. It can be lost temporarily or forever. Since I have never done this myself, I don't know the details either."
    "What... What will I..."
    "Your voice, or maybe a leg. Or your pride. I can't say for sure, do you still want to take the risk?"

    Ciel was given a train-load decision. How will he deal with it? And what are the consequences?
    And what if there is more at stake than just his own 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.
