    Summary

    Every morning, Kya reminds herself of the list of things she knows. It’s not a very long list.

    Her name is Kya of the Southern Water Tribe. Wife to Hakoda of the Southern Water Tribe. Friend to Bato, Iyek, and Kyu of the Southern Water Tribe. Mother to Sokka and Katara, the last waterbender in the South Pole. Unbeknownst to her captors, Kya has traded her freedom and her dignity for her daughter’s life. Kya has spent five years in six different Fire Nation prisons and eleven different cells. Kya is, presently, at the Boiling Rock prison, which is muggy and uncomfortable and surrounded by a lake of scalding-hot water. Kya highly suspects they’ve forgotten that she’s supposed to be a waterbender.

    Kya’s well aware of the situational irony.

    Summary

    Esdras Al-Ridha is born in 1899, in his mother’s family home. His birth certificate, when it’s written a month later by Dr. Yuriy Rockbell, will declare his name Edward Elric. It will name his mother Trisha, and it will say nothing of her white hair. It will say nothing of the blue desert sky he first opens his eyes under, the way he is passed to relative after relative and is held and blessed by each.
    (Even before the war, tensions are high, and hatred is brewing. Tirzah holds her newborn son, with eyes as gold as his father’s, and pale-sun hair halfway there, and she decides that if Ishvala wants him hidden, then Tirzah will not brand him where his genes have not.)

    Summary

    “I don’t get it. I didn’t do anything!” Edward said, looking at Mustang pleadingly. “It just… it just won’t move and it… well, it won’t move.”

    And it hurts.

    Roy didn’t need Ed to say what he couldn’t say, he could see in the redness around the port and the confused pained twitching of Ed’s face.

    I don’t know why we’re all writing automail-science-fluff, but hey, I ain’t complaining.

    Summary

    “Why are you helping?” The rasped words are almost too quiet to hear.

    Roy pauses, considering the boy before him. Ed is in obvious pain, white as a sheet and trembling, exhausted to the bone. He’d probably dissociated all day in that musty library without even realizing it. Probably convinced himself he was working.

    From what Roy had seen, half of Ed’s notes were just mindless words, barely strung into coherent, inky sentences.

    Summary

    Mei waits to be killed. She lays limp and unmoving in Ling Yao’s arms and waits for the moment he’ll abandon her with the rest of the corpses in the street. It would be justified, she thinks. She was too slow, too weak, and with no proof that he had done it the Yao clan would get away with her murder scot-free.

    Or, it’s hard to undo years of distrust, but the journey back to Xing is long and Ling’s made a promise
