    Summary

    The good news was that both Edward and the Colonel were located and extracted from their captors before any state secrets could be coerced from either alchemist.
    The bad news was they’d already been drugged with an experimental truth serum, and now they wouldn’t Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

    Summary

    “Stupid brat.” His assaulter leans closer, and Ed can smell the stench of his breath. Apparently, these people have never heard of the wonderful novelty known as a toothbrush. “Trying to run, were you?”

    “Can’t blame me, can you? You-your hospitality sucks,” Ed wheezes. He grins, sharp and feral, showcasing blood-tinged teeth. “Gonna discuss it in de-detail in my next report. I’m s-sure the military will be so p-pleased. Might even give you a fancy…fancy cell.”

    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.
