    Summary

    Leorio, having had Gon as his foster son for over year and seeing his progress has made the decision to accept another child into their home.

    When he gets the call for an emergency placement, only a few days to prepare, he is thrilled when he hears this new boy is quiet.

    Only, now, he is beginning to feel maybe a quiet boy is much more difficult to help and now he isn’t so sure he is right for this task.

    Summary

    “As hypocritical as you are ignorant.” The dam burst. “You outlaw our native tongues, our bending, you blacken our skies and stain our horizons red, yet you call our people savage? You come here under the guise of brokering peace, finally, finally starved of resources and men to continue the slaughter and siege, and not for a moment can you convincingly perform humility! How can you expect to rule a nation you clearly neither understand nor respect? Through fear and intimidation? It…” Her chest heaved, and the beads of condensation trembled. “It’s pitiful.”

    The general burst into laughter. “It’d be a shame to remove such a tongue! Sharp as any blade.”

    The prince sheathed his blade. “We are alike in our hypocrisy, then. A thorough lashing, blunted only by the fact you delivered it while hiding amongst foliage. Pitiful, indeed.” Receding, rapid footsteps.

    TLDR: A war criminal enlists the help of the child whose life he spared to stop the machine of war from consuming the whole of the world, including itself. Like a really fucked up version of True Grit! Also, Zuko being deprogrammed by experiencing basic human kindness. Also, a love letter to the natural world and humanity as a whole.

    Summary

    "“I don’t get it,” Ed said, pulling back just enough to look at Mustang. He couldn’t read his expression through his tears, and that somehow made it worse.
    “It doesn’t make sense. What do you want from me?” His voice wavered despite his effort to keep it steady. “I’m a double amputee with a bad attitude. My own dad didn’t want me. Where’s the equivalent exchange?”
    He barely had time to breathe before two strong arms wrapped around him, firm and unyielding. Mustang’s voice rumbled against his ear, low and certain.
    “Don’t you know, kid? I’m a pirate. We don’t play by alchemists’ rules.” He huffed a quiet, humorless laugh. “When we see something we want, we take it. That’s the exchange.”
    His grip tightened just slightly. “You’re my kid. I don’t need you to give me anything else.”

     

    Roy Mustang and the crew of the Black Hayate sail from port to port, lending a hand to those in need. Along the way, they meet a kid with big dreams of becoming the world’s greatest alchemist. After Roy saves his life, fate pulls a strange twist of equivalent exchange, leaving him with something he never expected—a son.

    Summary

    Soon after the State Alchemy Exam, Ed begins to hear a voice in his head--a voice that sounds just like his, but most certainly does not belong to him.

    It turns out that Al's might not have been the only soul Ed pulled through the Gate.
