Brief Summary: The story begins after a fight between Ed and Winry. Ed made her VERY angry, and his apology was less than sincere. Al, realizing that it was his brother's fault, takes it upon himself to make amends. He and Ed go to Col. Mustang for advice with Ed's "girl trouble". Unfortunately, their first conversation is misheard, and Hawkeye makes an assumption that will later prove to be VERY wrong. She's confused, and can never look at Ed or Roy the same way again. Meanwhile, Ed's trying to find the right way to get Winry to forgive him. He tries to use Mustang's advice, but everything seems to fail. Winry shows up and decides to take Havoc out to make Ed jealous, so Ed and Roy go spy on them. Hawkeye, again, mishears a conversation, and then believes that a vast dating conspiracy is rising up: between Ed, Roy, and Winry. Hardly able to confront them (much less chastise Mustang for going after someone(s) nearly half his age), she finds a dark bar gets perhaps a bit drunker than she intended. Ed is sent to find her, and takes her back to his and Al's hotel room to sleep it off. Hawkeye, however, has other plans. In her inebriated state, she'd gladly take Ed over Roy, and does not hesitate in telling him so. Finally the truth is out: she's convinced that the elder Elric and Mustang are lovers. After a confrontation with Roy, she couldn't be more humiliated. But luckily, the fluff conquers all.
Updates: As of March 17, Prologue and Chapter One are up.

Winry heldback tears as she worked onher latest order for automail.She and Edward had, just earlier that day, had an absolutelyenormous fight. Shedidn't want to be angry with him, but the boy could beso damnstubborn. Al had told her that he and Ed were headed off untilthings had calmed down, and Winry could see Ed without hurling something heavy at his stupid, blond head. (Her words precisely.) She sighed, and wiped the sweat off her brow.
It wasn't her fault, and she wasn't going to apologize.
