Fics like one step forward (is all it takes to move on)

Edward didn’t say anything. His eyes stung and his throat burned, but he didn’t move. When Roy held out his hand, Ed hesitated for a long time. This could be some horrible ploy—some last-ditch effort from his stupid social worker to get him into a house that could deal with him. Roy was a police officer. He was a war veteran. He knew how to get people to do what he wanted. On the other hand, Edward knew Roy. He knew how he liked his coffee and that sometimes he liked to procrastinate on his reports and that he liked to shoot goo-goo eyes at Riza. He knew what Ed’s favorite books were, and he knew about Al. He knew, intimately, what Ed went through. Ed reached out to grab Roy’s hand. --- or, a deeply traumatized child with one (1) leg and a legendary temper bulldozes his way through the foster system, refuses to stop haunting the hospital where his brother sleeps, and accidentally collects a tired cop, his coworkers, and something that looks suspiciously like a family along the way.
