Summary
He expects something other than lost, frightened brown eyes flicking over him for a moment, or tiny bronze fingers curling into metal. He expects something other than thin, trembling shoulders wrapped loosely in torn, stained fabric or hollow cheeks. He expects something other than tears sliding down that tiny face and matted dark hair tossed in torn, snarled little curls, expects something other than soft little whimpers and a hoarse, pitiful cry of fright.
He expects something, anything other than a tiny, terrified child.
Or:
Roy Mustang ventures into the vents to exterminate a mouse. Instead he finds a small, frightened, very hurt child--a child banished from his home and forced to search for the very thing he's helping Edward Elric look for if he wants even a chance at returning. Instead, he finds himself with the sudden urge to cause a diplomatic incident with the emperor of Xing, and very little desire to let the desperate, lonely kid return somewhere that's only brought him pain and fear.
Instead, he finds himself adopting (another, some part of him mutters) the child, and can't bring himself to mind at all.

Summary
They broke up five years ago. Amy thought she had moved on, but it was always easier said than done. Especially with her old and newfound feelings in the way. [Hiatus]

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
"In retrospect, it would have been so much better if Ed had simply been his usual obnoxious and recalcitrant self just then."
After a long and tiresome evening of paperwork, Roy offers his youngest subordinate a ride home. All seems well, until they are captured by a man neither recognizes. Who is this person, and why does he claim to know Roy? Ed is thirteen in this. Plenty of Hurt!Ed and Parental!Roy.
