Luke is being a brat, Guy is taking a hint, Peony is crashing the party, and Jade is surrounded by children.

State alchemist with a frightful reputation or no, he seems to attract the strangest and most brazen sorts to himself. 

[ Winter Alchemist ] AU shenanigans continue. 

In this setting Peony is from what used to be a wealthy and powerful family, but given that Amestris is a military-controlled country, it doesn’t mean as much anymore. Still, he’s managed to become a rather unorthodox mayor and Jade happens to be staying the next town over.  

I will at some point put together a detailed post but tl;dr Guy knows to skedaddle when he shows up after making the trip all the way here when they’re both usually as busy as they are and have some catching up to do. Luke, on the other hand, hasn’t mastered the “taking a hint” skill.  

Luke is all of like… 14-15 here maybe.
