    Summary

    The men pulled, and something came free- with a splash and a clank, something metal fell out of the end of the pipe and landed in the drainage ditch at their feet.

    It was about three feet long, and made of metal.

    “What the fuck is that?” one of the men on the line asked, voice hushed.

    One of them picked it up- it was an arm, an automail arm- not attached to anything, only the rope still firmly tied around the wrist.

    Roy felt nausea bubble up in him like regret, and turned to the nearest soldier.

    “Get me a damn light- I’m going in after him!”

    Something was terribly wrong.

    Edward Elric tries to avoid giving his report and do a good deed. Roy Mustang tries to avoid pondering his role in Edward's life. Both fail miserably. And it's all because of the damn rain.

    A slow burn of excitement, angst, drama, trauma, hurt/comfort, and found family. Maybe in that order.

    Summary

    “I’m glad you both see it that way,” Dr. Chen says. Then she closes her notebook and folds her hands on top of it. “I think I’m starting to get a sense of where the issues lie. The good news is that you’re both here, and you’re both willing to work on this relationship. That’s promising. Not all of the couples I see are even at that point.”

    “Sorry, what?” Henry says, voicing Alex’s stuttering thoughts as well.

    (After one too many fights at work, Henry and Alex are assigned mandatory reconciliation therapy by their boss. Except the therapist thinks they're there for couples therapy... and surely, a bet on who will break first makes more sense than actually correcting her, right?)

    Summary

    A low chuckle reaches his ears. “There you are, love,” the voice speaks again, amused and undeniably soft. “Enjoyed your nap?”

    Very much, Alex wants to say, still basking in the slowness of half-consciousness, but his stomach does an uncomfortable twist. Nap? No, he was just resting his eyes for a bit so he could go back to work, he wasn’t supposed to fall asleep—

    He sits up abruptly.

    Henry takes care of Alex after a panic attack.
