Fic: Wrong Turn, Chapter One of Three
This extended piece of silliness was originally written for sara_rojo as part of the fma_ihop kinkmeme. Her prompt was that she wanted a kickass Ed making mincemeat of some poor bad guy, rescuing Roy, Al or Ling, and making them swoon with his sheer excellence. I tried to oblige. Check out the meme if you haven't been already, it's full of awesome fic.

Something else I noticed
He must have no idea that he was beautiful now, Roy thought. He was so focused on his quest, on his brother, on the path ahead of him, that Roy was willing to bet that he wouldn't even have noticed admiring looks or attempts at flirtation. Which, right now, was an excellent thing for the remnants of Roy's dignity. To his mental list of lessons from today - tell someone where you're going, head injuries are embarrassing, sew a spare glove into the lining of your jacket - he added, Edward Elric. To be reviewed, later, when he had all his faculties back. Ok, first, unknowingly gorgeous Ed is one of my favourite kinks (my god, you touch on them allXD). Second, I hadn't noticed that Roy in Wrong Turn verse had already noticed and was aware of Ed's beauty; does he remember it in No Small Injury? he doesn't even recoil ( ... )

As for what I was going for here there's a difference between noticing that someone is gorgeous and pursuing them. My friends and I sometimes talk about the 'work perv' - someone hot in your workplace whom you have no intentions of going after - it's just that sneakily enjoying the eye candy passes the time. Of course, this theory has been known to backfire on the perv-er ...

I do love Roy when he panics, and you're right that the whole "I shouldn't, no, really, I shouldn't, oh, okay, all right then" thing has its appeal. It's also a reaction I find in its own way very believable - we've all been there at some point (but in most cases, probably not with a fifteen-year-old subordinate XD). But yeah, as usual you're very insightful here about Roy and Ed and why Ed is kind of a dangerous prospect.
I am actually rather fond of 'your scary country's' liberal laws on sexuality - it's the only place in Europe right now where two guys or two girls can get married properly. In the UK there's same sex marriage, but they call it 'civil partnership' in order not to annoy the religious lobby.

To get back on topic, Roy would have to be a saint not to stare at Ed's ass a tiny bit, no? It's right out there, I'm sure even Hawkeye's checked it out.

You summarised the appeal perfectly ^.^
Actually, another problem I have with this situation is that Roy doesn't seem to indulge himself too much; most fans gift him with a house barely lived-in, he doesn't seem to go out -really go out- much, he doesn't have an outstanding wardrobe...so he probably wouldn't indulge himself with Ed either, specially being so focused on his goals. But it can be done well, making Ed's smokin' hotness really too much to resist, and making us readers feel so too ( ... )
