Under Sea Garden

Title: For King or Country
Author: Rune
Words: 151
Notes: The result of a conversation and then silence. I am quite positive that one line in particular is the fault, entirely, of karotsamused. So I made her beta. For both of these things she receives much love. (Spoilers for the end of the anime and possibly for severe hybridization of manga and anime canon.)
Summary: Perhaps he had had a plan in the beginning. That didn't matter now.


( It happened in the weeks after... )

Title: Cats and Dogs.
Author: Rune
Words: 1,098
Notes: Because it's raining again today, I finally finished it.

( The bastard Colonel had gone along with it, Ed figured, because the jerk wouldn’t have anyone to boss around if he stayed at the car on his own. )

Title: Chatter
Author: Rune
Words: 154
Notes: For karotsamused because she indulges the sweater thing. Heh. We should go and see leaves change colour or something.
Summary: There is comfort. Even in the cold.

It was unforgivable. Safety of the country or not, there was no reason any human being should have had to be out in weather that cold.

"You know, bastard, if you keep making faces like that it's going stick that way."

"Considering the t-temperature, I'd be entirely unsurprised."

"Aww, the great Flame Alchemist can't handle a little snow?"

"I can handle the snow just fine. What I simply c-can't understand, is what purpose nature could actually have in being either th-this wet or this cold."

"Heh. You're such a wimp."

"I'm h-hardly a wimp, F-fullmetal."

"Are too. Look, you're shivering."

"Because it's s-several degrees below freezing, n-n-not because I'm a w-wimp."

"Don't think I'm going to feel sorry for you just because your teeth chatter."

"I-I wouldn't d-dream of it."

"...Bastard."

The scarf was far from new, and the red clashed with his uniform entirely, but it was thick and warm, and still smelled of Edward.

Title: Espresso
Author: Rune
Notes: Beta’d by ranalore. Written for all the people who said, "Do something happy some time!" (Also, please note that it's long! Or well, long-ish. Which, Woot!)
Summary:The most stimulating things come in small doses.


( Should I insist you taste it first? )

Title: Lessons
Author: Rune
Notes: Beta'd by ranalore. For karotsamused. Another chapter in the story of Roy, Ed and what tying a tie really means. (Here and here.)


(  “Over, under, around and through what, brother?” )
