    Summary

    He asked her to be his eyes.

    “And, well, sir. I’m sitting here with my hair a mess. I’m in the hospital-issued green pajamas, and there’s a very large stack of your paperwork beside me. If that’s what you wanted to know, sir.”

    Roy closed his eyes instinctively, useless habit that it was now, trying to build the image from her words anyway.

    “I’m sorry if your hands are full, Lieutenant.”

    “My hands are empty right now.”

    “You know what they say about idle hands,” he said absently.

    “Well, mine await your command, sir.”

    A dare.

    “Do they, Hawkeye?” he said quietly.

    Summary

    The accusation the Truth had levelled at him had stung, but it had been — well, true. He’d trusted, blindly, in men who’d only been trustworthy according to some bullshit metric cryptically communicated to him by an old man with his own agenda. He’d trusted his contingencies and his double-blinds, his schemes and his whisper network. And what did all that get him? He’d completely lost the capacity to care for those who had entrusted themselves to him, much less the whole country he’d been proud enough to envision under his wing.
    Can he really become worthy of their faith again? Does he have any capacity to care and to protect, now that the illusions have all been stripped away?
    “I’ll be back in the morning, sir,” says the one person whose answer he already knows.

    Or: in the ten days after Roy leaves the hospital, he learns how to cook an egg blind, loses his comfortable pants, prepares for his reinstatement evaluations, dreams of Maes Hughes dying, ponders the domestic applications of flame alchemy, second-guesses everything he ever believed about his role in his country's future, and moves in with his lieutenant.

    Summary

    a more human take on the drama of being blind. dash of royai, rated t for language :)

    i originally wrote this on May 5, 2014 and posted on fanfiction.net. I edited it for grammar and cross-posted it here because stumbling upon this while cleaning my email folders was a certain delight. Some of the scenes here still have a lasting imprint on me now that I'm older so I wanted to share.
