#Darrow x Cassius x Mustang is canon if you squint

[vesperpharsalius]

“the ring exchange was their wedding” cassius taking darrow’s house mars ring at the end of gs thinking darrow killed all of his family: “I’m breaking this engagement”. jokes aside cannot wait for you to get to this parts in your fanfic it’s sooo good and i can’t wait to get emotionally destroyed!!

Anon, you had me screaming—literally, I laughed out loud! Tysm for the ask!

For the record, I was referring to the ring exchange referenced in IG, where Darrow mentions that Cassius sent back his House ring, even though Darrow asked him to keep both—placing the ring into his palm and closing his hand around it as they gazed lovingly into each other’s eyes—at the end of MS.

(Y’know, a completely heterosexual interaction—just two bros, tenderly and tacitly proclaiming their undying love.)

I like to imagine that Cassius actually sent his ring back, which would mean that Mustang (because Darrow gave it to her—iirc, essentially, as a wedding ring) is actually wearing Cassius’, and Cassius is wearing Darrow’s. Big throuple energy.

But now, anon—you’ve got me thinking. Should I have them exchange earlier, at the Institute? It is… tempting. Maybe.

This part of the fanfic is, admittedly, eons away at this point, but yes—expect to be emotionally destroyed! I have been informed that I possess a hefty measure of PB’s capacity for cruelty, so I don’t think it will disappoint.

(But I’m not jinxing myself! Gotta stay humble 🙏)
