Summary
Her client either doesn't actually know the ninja's name or (equally likely) knows that ninja of this era despise introductions, but Sakura knows the name of her new coworker: Uchiha Madara is standing in front of her, wild-haired and distinctively relaxed, looking no older than her — not quite a teenager anymore, coming into his full adult height and broad shoulders, but much younger than he had looked during the Fourth War.
Seeing him is a literal nightmare come to life, but Sakura is a professional. She bows politely and does not let her hands tremble. "I look forward to working with you."
"Likewise," Madara says, perfectly polite and yet clearly not meaning it. Clearly dismissing her, because she's a young, pink-haired, civilian woman.
Well. She'll show him.

Summary
If this is what the bastard smells like on suppressants, then Ed can't even imagine how good he must smell normally. What would the full force of it do to Ed's body? To his psyche? It would probably feel amazing.
Ed hopes he smells half this good to other people when he presents, but knowing his luck he'll smell like dear old dad, not that he remembers what that smells like anymore. Probably it'll be some bullshit like... like... a train car when it's way too hot out. Rancid milk. Automail oil, too, even if he gets his limbs back, because there's no way he won't be cursed with this for the rest of his life. To be fair, he fucking deserves it.
Part of this whole thing has to be about acceptance, though, doesn't it? So, maybe he'll just... be what he is. For once.

Summary
"Huh," says a woman that looks like her mother, wearing a Konoha hitai-ate on one bicep and Nara mon on the other, just like Shikako does. "That's new."
She sounds nonplussed, like true confusion is too much effort, and looks around. She tucks her hands into her pockets.
"Shikako-chan?" Kakashi-sensei says, sounding a lot more worried now that he had a moment ago.
What has she done?
"Hi, sensei," says the woman that Shikako has summoned.

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.
