    Summary

    But, yeah, all in all Ed wasn’t as badly hurt as the people currently occupying the sacred few hospital beds in Central.

    His body begged him to rest, to slow down, and allow others to take care of his mess for once, but Ed had never been the best at looking after himself. It took a little bit more than a day for him to finally listen – he visited Al with the explicit goal of falling asleep next to his brother, his bed big enough for the two of them just this once.

    Unaware of how dangerous his injuries from the Promised Day are, Ed waits too long to go see a doctor. In the end a few hours can make the difference between life and death.

    “How bad is it?”

    Maybe it would be easier if he didn’t look at Kasper. If he ignored the fire crawling through his arms and leg, the unnatural tint coloring everything slightly off. If his heart beat any faster, he would lose it, the organ breaking through his ribcage and crawling away until it rested at the foot of Al’s bed.

    “Early onset of sepsis has a mortality rate of 40%. Since you have only one kidney and a still healing liver… let’s say 50%. If our aggressive early treatment doesn’t work, and you develop septic shock? A mortality rate of 80 to 90% considering the state your body is in.”

    “Oh.”

    Summary

    Edward gets kidnapped only minutes before Riza's promotion ceremony is set to begin - which is probably why nobody notices the former alchemist missing.

    But neither Roy nor Riza can ignore the threat to their friend's life once Falman returns, bleeding and with Ed's leg as a message.

    “That wasn’t the deal.” Riza repeated, in parts to buy herself some more time.

    “I know.” The man raised his hands in a placating gesture. “But let’s not fret about it. The boy’s life isn’t in danger. I’m sure he will recover just fine from this whole ordeal. He isn’t what we’re here for, after all. You know what we want, Riza Hawkeye?”

    “My father’s research.”

    “Yes. Clever girl.”

    His hand is still over Ed’s mouth. He feels the boy’s warm breath against his fingers. Slowly, bringing a finger to his lips, he removes his hand. Ed sucks in a breath, but, even concussed, he has the sense to keep quiet.

    At the very least, Hawkeye must know what’s going on now. The explosion would have drawn her back…if he only weren’t pinned by the rubble.

    He hates to be a sitting duck.

    Summary

    Every state alchemist must get rectified each year. They can present their research. Give a demonstration. Or participate in mock combat. Whatever they choose, they have to show up on time and ready to wow, or else they get stripped of their title.

    Mustang thought Ed knew about this. He thought Ed would take this seriously and show up on time for once in his life. But, as he sits in a room with an asshole major general to his left and a ticking clock in front of him, he starts to wonder just how seriously Ed takes this whole military thing.

    Has Ed disappeared just to piss him off? Or is there something else at play?

    "Come to think of it,” he said, as if he just remembered, “the Fuhrer was the one who originally passed Major Elric on his first exam.”

    If the man could get any whiter, then he did. He probably realized where Mustang was headed with this.

    “That means if I needed to sleep with someone to get Major Elric into the military, and the Fuhrer was the one who signed off on him joining the military…”
