Fics like Waterworks

As a kid, Edward didn’t hate rain. Rain meant easy days snuggled in pajamas with his mom, warm drinks balmy on his hands and crackling firewood while stew simmered in the kitchen, and old cartoons on TV while he read his father’s alchemy books and Alphonse poked and prodded. Rain was warmth and quiet and sleepiness in his eyes, and held some of his fondest memories of his family. Now, with the steel and iron attached to his nerves, dragging at his skin, rain meant soreness and pain and deep, deep aches that reached down to his bones. The skin underneath his ports would throb with his heartbeat and pulsate with long, drawn out twinges of hot pain, sparks shooting down his leg or arm whenever he flexed his muscles. Occasionally, the muscles would spasm and Edward would grit his teeth and dig his fingers into the twitching skin until it settled to a manageable burn. It was awful and agonizing and Edward wanted to throw up when it happened. He wished it would have started raining after his check in. Or Trudging through a rainy day for your mandatory check-in is not the best idea, especially with two metal limbs and soaked clothes. Stairs will be your worst enemy.
