    A haunting scream reverberates in the hollow space of Alphonse's helmet.

    Strangely, it makes him think of a concrete floor bathed in blood.

    Summary

    Ed felt his heart stumble a bit in his chest. A Roy Mustang who wasn’t cocksure, ambitious, a fucking iron fortress, was a man Ed hardly even knew. He’d seen some of it—the soft heart beneath—under Central Command. Down there the rage on Mustang’s face was as familiar to Ed as breathing. Now, he didn’t know what to do with Mustang’s trepidation. It made him feel as lost as Roy looked.

    Roy—not the Colonel. Not a general. Not a bastard. Maybe a friend. Certainly an ally.

    Till he opened his damn mouth again.

    +

    Ed finds himself stationed at Eastern Command when he returns from leave after the Promised Day, hoping to find purpose and stability in its familiarity. Nothing quite goes to plan.

    Summary

    (Art/Comic!) Prompto really wants to attend Noctis's... er, the Royal Family's special event, and photography is a good excuse. The crowds and pomp he was ready for. What he wasn't expecting was for Noctis, (or Pryna for that matter) to remember him.
