happy royai day to them! 💙☁️✨

[fullmetalscullyy]

never thought we'd ever have to go without (ii)

summary: 

Their breakup was amicable. They were both going in two different directions with their lives and where Roy was going - the military and the numerous off the grid sites for weeks or sometimes months on end – he wouldn’t ask her to wait for him. She deserved to live her own life, not wait around for him and his ambitions.

When a tragedy befalls their child, Roy and Riza are left devastated. They come together to work through it while waiting for her to wake from her injuries

snippet:

“Mia?” Her voice was desperate. She didn’t care that she hadn’t called earlier. All that mattered was she’d called now. Someone was talking on the other side, but it was in a different language. Riza couldn't understand what they were saying. She blinked in her stun, her stomach twisting painfully as dread settled deep within her bones. Where was her daughter? “Mia? Where is Mia?” Riza gripped her phone tighter. “Where is my daughter?”

happy Royai Week in a little over two hours PHT!

if you're an old friend, i'm happy to come to you again with my writing. i haven't forgotten what it's like to love Royai with you, share my fics with you, hear what you think. so many things took me away from writing in the past year, but because i've finally found time again and because i need to write as self-care regardless of the time i actually have, i've fought my way back, and here we are.

if you're new to my writing blog, whether by accident or by seeking me out, i'm so happy you're here! i hope that you—i'm assuming you're here for royai—find the tug on your heartstrings or the butterflies in your stomach or the spice that you need. i'm also on AO3 and FFN!

i'll be seeing you in a few hours for the most wonderful time of the year. 💙🔥🦅

Happy Royai Week!

This is for day one's prompt - Raison d'être!

This prompt made me think of those little moments you catch the person you love, doing something completely mundane, and you are just overwhelmed by your love for them.

I have these moments a lot with my SO, so I thought of this idea straight away 😅❤️

(Not my best work art wise as I was trying to get it out! I'd like to put more effort into some of the other prompts, but they will definitely be late 😂)

Accretion

By @raisingmybanner

Summary:

Riza Hawkeye has worked as Security Director for private art authenticator Roy Mustang for eight years with little trouble. However, recently Mustang has taken on riskier and higher-stakes jobs, putting himself and his team in danger of exposure and harm. The objective of a new undercover job – authenticating an elusive ink drawing while undercover on a three-week island retreat – hits too close to home for Riza. Secrets carefully kept threaten to be brought to light, exacerbated by the closeness required while posing as a young engaged couple.

Hold on, they have to pose as an… engaged couple? For three weeks?!

Happy Royai day!!! 💙💛

Also works nicely for today's Royai Week prompt: Appreciate... Roy is very, very appreciative. Be sure to grab your Lieutenant firmly to let her know.

insp picture under the cut

saw this picture going around as a "draw your ship like this" meme and knew it was perfect for royai, even if this wasn't my original idea for today (I ran a bit short on time aaaaa). I'm still glad I was able to do something this year! 😌

Fanfiction Masterlist.

The following are my works over on AO3. It's mostly oneshots, mostly Royai (plus one Zutara), and the more I disassociate from reality the longer this list gets.

Bon appétit ❤️

The Art of Living On

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 3.9K

She has never done this. Has avoided it at all costs. Because she is unfit, she tells herself. Her hands are made for firearms and filing office paperwork, not soothing fussy babies. Her edges are too sharp, too jagged to provide comfort to anyone. She is scarred and bloodied and barely knows the love of a mother herself.

But the baby wails, pleading.

Written for Royai Week 2024, Day 2: Appreciate

This story was adapted into a podfic (audiobook, but make it fanfiction) by @klainelynch. Listen here.

(domestic fluff, light angst with a happy ending)

Death and Taxes

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 5.4K

“You’re proposing we marry,” Hawkeye responds, slow and dangerous, “for tax purposes?”

Something prickles beneath Mustang's shirt collar. He resists the urge to tug at it, instilling his voice with an even coolness as he pretends to examine his cuticles. “A mutually beneficial arrangement, wouldn’t you agree?”

(marriage of convenience)

The Counteroffer

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 2.7K

On the eve of Mustang’s inauguration as Fuhrer, Riza Hawkeye submits her resignation.

My very first Royai fanfic, and my first attempt at creative writing in literal years.

(light angst with a happy ending)

Hourglass

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 1.6K

Riza Hawkeye never intended on living past age thirty-two. It wasn’t that she wanted to die. She simply did not expect to live.

Written for Royai Week 2024, Day 5: Gift

(angst with a happy ending)

Uncle Zuko

Katara x Zuko

Rating: T

Word count: 2.6K

Of all the things his hands have held - from dragon eggs and ancient texts to the element of Fire itself - this is by far the most precious, the most powerful: a new generation, one born into a world without war.

Zuko is forced to hold Sokka's baby, and feelings happen. I published this story years ago on FFN under a different title. This is the updated/revised version. I haven't written much of them lately, but Zuko & Katara are, and will always remain, my otp.

(domestic fluff)

The Bookshelf - WIP

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 2.3K

“It has a ladder.” Falman remarks, impressed.

(Or: Fuhrer Mustang gifts Hawkeye a bookshelf, and the rest of the Team starts to figure things out.)

(fluff, humor)

Strong Whiskey and Slanted Light

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: G

Word count: 908

His team is alive. The Elric brothers have their bodies back. Havoc can walk again. And from her place in the driver’s seat, Riza Hawkeye - alive and breathing - glances sharply in his direction, brows raised in a rare moment of removing her attention from the road ahead. He doesn’t miss the way she winces at the sudden movement of her still-healing neck. “Sir?”

“It’s just a question, Lieutenant. I’m curious.”

Written for Royai Week 2024, Day 1: Curiosity

(light angst, mutual pining)

Mrs. Mustang

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 999

“And how are you this evening, my dear?” he murmurs, the playful formality simmering between them. His bowtie has gone missing, Riza observes. As well as his tailored jacket, and the top few buttons of his collared shirt are undone. Suspenders hang loose around his hips, and the scent of his cologne - a blend of tobacco, leather, and vanilla - drifts to her, freshly applied despite the lateness of the hour.

“Very well,” she responds over the rim of her wine glass, wondering if the darkness is enough to conceal the heat creeping into her face. Likely not. “Only I wish you wouldn’t call me ‘my dear’.”

(fluff)

As You Were

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 2.4K

Maybe it’s the fact that she’s dropped his honorific.

Maybe it’s the fact that they are somehow both alive. Maybe it’s the fact that he can see her, when he’d believed with such certainty that he never would again. He can see her and she is beautiful, and for once he doesn’t understand why he ever chose to banish that thought from his mind when it is so clearly the truth.

The Flame Alchemist's Daughter

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 6.4K

The ink is a burden. The knowledge is a curse.

Disclaimer: I wrote this before I fully understood the mechanics of Mustang's flame alchemy (I literally finished the series in March 2024; I'm new here, so my bad). I realized later that some of the implications here would not make sense in canon. That said, I still love this story. I'm proud of it and it's freaking fanfiction so who cares.

Checkmate

Riza Hawkeye x Roy Mustang

Rating: T

Word count: 1.6K

In the wake of his election victory, Roy Mustang makes a very important visit to Fuhrer President Grumman.

Each time he has laid eyes on Riza Hawkeye’s tattoo, the course of Roy Mustang’s life has been permanently altered.

Wow, I can't believe it's already promo week!

For the Big Bang Ask game:

Favorite Royai headcanon? Silliest one? Most controversial one? Most specific one?

How different is it to work for a Big Bang project compared to regular art or comms?

Most fun thing about the event?

Unless they've already been answered :o Anyways, I can't wait to see your work!

And again, a big thank you for mod-ing the event and for all the extra work! <3

Promo week already! This year has been so long and also flew by (but I guess that's just what getting older feels like)

The fun thing about ask games is that I read the question and then every thought I've ever had gets violently flushed out of my brain lol but as far as royai headcanons go...

Favorite: Hard to decide, but I love them actually confessing/figuring things out after Promised Day. Spend almost half of their lives yearning/torturing themselves/setting their needs aside for their goals and then boom! both of them almost die and suddenly realize they didn't actually tell the other how they feel! Yum yum yum I eat it up.

Silliest: I like the idea of Riza talking to Roy through Hayate when she's a little annoyed with him. "Hayate, please tell Roy we're going out for a walk. Please tell him to have the dishes done when we get back. Please let him know I love him." And then she'd pick Hayate up, keep her expression neutral, and wave to Roy with his paw before leaving.

Controversial: I do like the idea of them eventually getting a soft, happy ending. Angst is great for them, don't get me wrong, but I'm also a big softie lol and I'm at a point in my life where I'd like to settle down and be happy with the person I love, so I'd like that for my little guys, too

Specific: I'm not sure about this one...I guess I like the idea of Riza being into more masculine cologne/perfume for herself. Something peppery or green, maybe something she stole from Roy at some point because it smelled better on her, anyway

2. Working on the big bang has been so great. I don't normally do projects this big, so it was really nice to see it all come together so well. Can't wait to share it on the 3rd!

3. Answered already, but I really can't say enough how fun it was to work on this event. I'd hop on another one in a heartbeat.

snippet:

As soon as the doctor left them, Riza turned into his arms. “She’s going to be okay?” “I think so.” Roy wrapped his arms tight around her, pressing a kiss to the side of her head as her voice became muffled in his chest. “I think she will. She’s a fighter, our girl. She wouldn’t let something like this ruin her adventure.” Riza let out a sob as she laughed. “She’ll be back with us before you know it.” “I wish she’d wake up.” A quiet whimper sounded at the end of her sentence, breaking Roy’s heart. He ran a hand over Riza’s hair, cradling her head close to him. “I know, Riza. I know. Me too.” “I want to see her smile. Hear her laugh.” Roy pulled back and cupped Riza’s face. “I want to speak to her.” The tears on her cheeks were brushed away. “We will.”

Fanfiction Masterlist.

(Updated 7/15/24)

I started writing again in March, and I now find myself the mother author of nine fanfics. I figure it's time I make one of these. I'll pin this post to the top of my Tumblr and update as more works are added.

So here's a masterlist of my children stories, favorites first in no particular order.

It's all Royai and Zutara Trash so if you're not into that, move along.
