Full of Mettle by Thornback

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.

Summary
When a part of the cerebral cortex dies, it’s inevitable that the function that correlates one part to another loses its purpose.
But all you need is a reconnection.
~+~
A part of him was scared. Is scared. He could live a life beyond this. Could live a life forgetting Derek, a stranger he’s searched for longer than he’d even come to know. It would be easy, to forget. It would be simpler.
But simple is New Year’s Eve spent alone at home playing Minecraft off a laptop he’d picked up in a locker he was never meant to pry open. Simple is watching hours worth of video content, of the gameplay of a man solving puzzles in a seemingly impossible situation on that sandbox game. Simple is being alone.
Derek was always meant to reach Avery, and Avery was meant to be reached.
This time, Avery means to do the opposite.
OR: Post-DAWTDE Fix-It featuring the rehabilitation of mind, body, and soul.

"None of Olruggio's lessons had prepared him for the horrors of having to endure multiple uncomfortable conversations about his relationship to Qifrey. He wasn’t sure the library had any books on what to do when you semi-romantically swapped tassels with your best friend anyway."
In which everyone teased Olruggio about the tassel exchange.

It started with a simple question: What's the nature of their professors' relationship? To say it snowballed from there would be a gross understatement. The answer is much more complex than the girls were anticipating.
A.k.a an exploration of witch courtship and tradition through the lens of young witches in the past and present.

Summary
There’s a beat of hesitation, but Evan lets go of the red metal and looks headlong into the ground awaiting him.
All is calm, and he takes a step.
“What the fuck.” The stillness of the night is shattered to pieces, and Evan scrambles desperately to take hold of the bridge again. The loss of the silence brings about the loss of control, and within moments he’s hyperventilating, hands sweating and heart racing.
Evan glances over his shoulder and in the darkness can make out a slight, tall figure standing at the very edge of the treeline.
“I-I’m sorry?” Evan chances in response, eyes on the person as they step forward.
And, well. Of all the people he expected to see tonight, Connor Murphy was not one of them.

Summary
Michael self-consciously walked through the gates of school feeling like he had a glowing sign pointed right at his shoulder yelling "HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS? IM INTO DUDES" (that actually sounded like a cool idea for a patch actually, maybe he'd have to make his own.) He felt a little bit sick with nerves, but he really needed to shove his shoulder in Jeremy's face right now. Vomiting could take a backseat.

"How do you say ‘I love you’?”
“Oh, wow, holy shit,” Michael coughs. Is his face warm? It better fucking not be. Pull yourself together, Mell. Breathe. “Where’d this sudden romantic side of you come from?”
Jeremy, uncharacteristically calm, shrugs. “I figure it could be a nice icebreaker for Christine, or something? I don’t know. It’s stupid, you don’t have to tea—”
“Mahal kita,” Michael says. The things he does for this boy. This boy. “I love you in Tagalog is mahal kita.”
