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.

Summary
When Ed spends a month in Resembool "reconnecting" with his father, it's a little odd. When he returns requesting to be dismissed from the dorms so he can move in with Hoenheim, who just recently bought a place in Central, it's shocking. When things start to escalate from there, and Ed starts showing signs of something more, it's dangerous. Will Ed be able to seek out the help he so desperately needs? Will Roy and his team be able to get to the bottom of things before it's too late?
