Fics like And Yet a Trace of the True Self Exists in the False Self

There's the Edward Elric the rest of the world knows, the great Fullmetal Alchemist, the child prodigy who could basically do anything. And then there's the Ed that only Al ever sees, the one who complains that lights are too loud, doesn't understand people, and flaps his hands when he figures out an alchemical breakthrough. Al knows that if the rest of the world saw the other side of Ed, they would think they could separate the two sides of Ed, pull away all the parts they didn't understand. But Al knows that both sides are just... Ed. So Al will always be the safe spot where Ed can be all of himself.
