Well, basically, it runs in my mind something like this: It's a songfic to a certain track from Les Miserables called "Bring Him Home," which is Valjean at the barricade singing a prayer for Marius' safety. It's very simple and beautiful.
So the fic itself starts with Ed and Roy out on the front lines somewhere, with Ed in a foul temper, and the two of them snarking at each other as is fairly usual. Then their unit (or hwatever) gets caught in an ambush; most or all of the troops are killed, Ed is caught in an explosion, injured, and knocked out. Roy grabs him and spends the rest of the fic struggling to drag his unconscious ass to safety behind their lines.
So yeah. I like the idea for a couple reasons. One is that it is fatherly or at least protective Roy; I'm a big Roy/Ed slash fan, but I like this dynamic as well. The other is that this fandom is full of relationship fic but not too much action or battle fic.
