Unsettling Affairs

Epilogue

A
massive, heartfelt funeral was held for Brigadier General Jean Havoc
and Brigadier General Edward Elric. Both men were buried side-by-side
with full honors, and Fuhrer Bradley himself reading their epitaphs.
They were awarded the Golden Cross of Honor, the highest decoration
in Armestris, for the duty they performed for their country.

A few
months after the fiasco with the Abominations, Fuhrer Bradley was
deposed in a somewhat bloody coup. The new government never released
who was involved, though it was widely speculated that followers of
General Roy Mustang had a hand in it.

Zolof J.
Kimbley was stripped of any and all involvement with the military,
though he was granted a full pardon (however grudging) by General
Mustang. Kimbley disappeared not long after with the chimera Martel.

Major
Alphonse Elric was never publicly seen again after his departure with
Envy, though word reached Lisa Delgardie that his condition had
deteriorated beyond repair. The messenger called his condition
'hopeless' and that there was no chance of survival. A small funeral
was held in his memory, though his body was never found.

Lisa
Delgardie returned to her home in the border town of Geriko,
continuing her medical practice. She eventually died, leaving her
tavern and laboratory to her adopted son, Jean. The boy eventually
became a noted theoretical alchemist.

Izumi
Curtis returned to Dublith. She hardly ever performed alchemy after
word of Alphonse's death reached her.

General
Roy Mustang continued his career, though he never saw active combat
again. Liza Hawkeye pitched a very loud and dramatic fit over the
tattoos on his hands, though after pacification she admitted that
they were needed at the time. Mustang and Hawkeye grew close after
the funerals of his subordinates, and eventually married. They had
three children. The eldest and the youngest (a daughter and a son,
respectively) became alchemists and colleagues of Jean Delgardie. The
middle child ( a son) became a well-known and widely acclaimed
artist.

Roy never
discovered if Edward and Jean passed through the Gate to the other
side, though he liked to think that they did. He insisted on
believing that they were still alive and together somewhere, though
in the end only Liza would believe him.

Roy
Mustang died, peacefully, sixty-three years after the war with the
Abominations, at the age of ninety-five. He was buried between his
wife and Edward Elric. He was survived by his three children, nine
grandchildren, and three great-grand-children.

A/N:
OMG it's finally finished! Stay tuned though, this might be the end,
but we've got even more fun to throw at you!

Setting:
Miskatonic University, Massachusetts; September 2000

Edward
Elric and Jean Havoc are both eighteen years old, studying at the
prestigious Miskatonic University. Their life in the dorms is plagued
by homework, spontaneous fights, a slightly deranged roommate, rugby
practices, and unhealthy eating habits. The two young men seem bound
and determined to be antagonists for one another.

However,
the night after their initial meeting, nightmares begin to plague the
chronically depressed Edward. He slowly realizes that things are not
what they seem, and after weeks of the horrifying dreams, he comes to
terms with the fact that his life is not everything that he wanted it
to be.
