It's been a couple months in Amestris since Edward's books were published. Under the name Erwin Smith, nobody knew that he was behind the top best selling books except for Mustang, Winry, Riza and Sheska.
The series was getting Edward a lot of money that he spent most of it for charities and kept the rest for himself. People loved the series and related to the characters. Boys who dreamt of a better world loved Eren, the devoted siblings followed Mikasa, the quiet smart kids wanted to be friends with Armin, the pranksters laughed at Connie's obliviousness, the greedy readers related the Sasha shameless attitude, the 'what the fuck am I doing here' like Jean, and so on.
When Mustang had finished reading the series he called Edward on the phone:
"Congrats on the books Fullmetal."
"Are you being nice to me? That's a first! What next, you're going to bring me flowers?"
"WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST ACCEPT A COMPLIMENT?!"
"No! Because there's probably an ulterior motive, you are not getting my copyright."
"Why you little..."
"Okay, thank you Colonel." laughed Edward.
The Colonel then smiled and hung up.
Riza immediately congratulated Ed, she also asked him if his friends from Creta had something to do with story, considering the same names and faces. The alchemist answered that yes, they let him use them as characters for his story which erased her suspicions.
Winry of course was overjoyed, she loved the books and spread them all around Rush Valley who all started to create automail that could have been used for Erwin who lost an arm, it even became a contest.
Alphonse was surprised in the beginning for his brother's sudden creativity and devotion but he loved the story and always carried copies of them in his armour in case he gets bored.
But Edward wasn't the only one to be affective my this little adventure, on Paradise Island, the scouts used their knowledge of Amestrian tech to improve their weaponry, they spend the money that Edward gave the scouts to improve their base and always had their pen on them. Hange used hers for everything, from important paperwork to experiment notes.
Levi, Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Connie and Sasha always kept it in their jacket, whether it was their uniform or casual wear. Historia locked hers in her palace room drawer for safe keeping.The three teenage girls would spend more time together, talking about Winry and Edward, and from time to time they cried.
The elite squad spent almost every waking moment together, their captain feeling a faint sense of belonging for the first time in awhile. They also wrote short stories together about their time with the Amestrian, even the Arie and Erin dinner that Connie found hilarious.
As for Hange, she was never busier between her Commander duty and scientist work but she managed well.The twelve of them went through their lives, but found ways to not forget each other. And when they felt down in the dumps, they remembered the fun times they spent together and smiled.
