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.

Summary
“Don’t you think Ena’s been, ah,” Mizuki wonders if this, exactly, is the best way to phrase things – “A little saccharine, lately?”
Sure, Mizuki’s fairly certain they’ve left Ena’s most caustic phase behind them, but she can’t help but raise her eyebrows at just how clingy she’s been, since it all… happened.
“Ena is usually pretty nice to you,” Mafuyu’s flat tone cuts through Mizuki’s eardrums.
In which Mizuki discovers just how fast she can backpedal in the face of accidental vulnerability. Whoops! Takes place post-Ena5.

Summary
It was not supposed to happen like this.
He was not supposed to meet anyone before he achieved his goals and dreams and accolades.
And certainly not when he was only 6 years old.
And then, he most definitely was not supposed to spend the next 7 years of his life quietly battling with not entirely…unpleasant feelings for Anya Forger.
