Title: Sleepless

Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: G.
Characters: Mustang and Alphonse. (Parental!Roy!)
Setting: First anime, not long after Ed became a State Alchemist.
Summary: Mustang finds an unlikely common ground with Alphonse.
Disclaimer: They belong to Hiromu Arakawa. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: Stories that depict Mustang having a fatherly relationship toward Ed are very common, and it’s something I love—but I’ve noticed those fics almost always tend to leave Al out of the equation. It’s a pity, because I think it would be fascinating to explore how Mustang’s paternal impulses toward Al would be both similar and different. This is an attempt on my part to do just that.

( In the end, it seemed Al’s nature revealed more about his brother than himself. )
