---------------

Despite the circumstances, Riza had to admit she was amused.

Without fail, at least one day of the late summer festival the town held was rained out. There wasn't a year in living memory that it hadn't happened; everyone just accepted it as a given.

As such, it hadn't occurred to her to warn Roy that this was an eventuality for which he would need to prepare.

It had taken mere minutes for the clouds to roll in.

At first, Roy had been confused by Riza's urging that they head home. After all, a little rain never hurt anyone, he'd said.

The second thing Riza had neglected to mention was that it was never just a little rain. While there was rarely lightning or thunder, the rain was absolutely torrential, sending anyone unlucky to be stuck out in it scrambling for cover. They'd been able to use their jackets as makeshift umbrellas until they'd found a tree to shelter underneath, but they'd practically had to wring them out as they'd waited for the squall to pass.

Roy was insisting it had. Riza was insisting it hadn't.

"I've lived here all my life and this happens every year. You don't have to believe me, but I hope you're a fast runner," she advised.

"The rain's let up! I can see the edge of the cloud over there!" Roy pointed.

"So just wait the ten minutes it'll take for it to reach us and then we can be on our way!" Riza told him.

"Are you always this stubborn?" Roy asked.

Riza smirked. "Only when I'm right."

"Look—" Roy marched out from under the tree. "—it's barely sprinkling. I'll just stand out here and wai—"

The rain picked back up so fast it surprised even Riza. She stared in shock as Roy became drenched in seconds. Unable to help it, she began to laugh.

"I know... I shouldn't say I told you so," she gasped.

"Then don't," Roy groused.

"And where would the fun be in that?" Riza wanted to know.

Roy wasted no time. He stepped forward, took Riza's hand, and pulled her out into the rain and to him, his lips meeting hers before she could protest. Despite the weather, he was warm and, she was discovering, rather good at kissing. She was happy to remain where she was.

The rain was letting up again anyway. Maybe this year, it really wasn't so bad.

alright folks, I need to know your favorite royai fanfiction, the ones that kept you awake at night, the ones that raised the bar so high that nothing could compare, the ones that consumed your soul and left only ashes afterwards because they were so beautiful that for days you did nothing but stare blankly in the void without purpose

Some Other Beginning's End on Ao3

If sixteen-year-old Riza had been braver, she would have sent a letter to Mr. Mustang directly. Instead, she left the task of sharing her regrets and feelings to herself, twenty years in the future.

Forty-year-old Führer Roy Mustang eventually reads that letter. And of course, he writes back.

An uber-belated Royai Week oneshot for Day 7: greetings and goodbyes.

Currently writing a Royai fic that features some post Promised Day action and some Ishvalan OCs, so I’m trying out some design concepts for a 33yo Hawkeye and one of the OCs.

overcome - snippet #4 [countdown to october 3rd]

overcome, chapter fourteen:

"If someone sees, then I'd offer to burn their eyeballs out," He murmured in her ear, the corner of his lip upturned in a crooked smile. “But that'll create so much paperwork. Any other ideas?”  He was clearly joking, and trying to distract her. His words were so utterly absurd that Riza laughed weakly in surprise, which came out as nothing more than a hitching hiccup in her current state. She relaxed further in his embrace, feeling the responding, rumbling chuckle in his chest.  He was so warm, pliant but firm against her, and so comforting. His hand was stroking along the bare skin of the back of her neck, from the ends of her short hair and down her spine over her t-shirt, his touch light but soothing. She wasn't even sure if he was aware he was doing it, but fuck if it wasn't the most comforting gesture she'd ever felt in her entire life. When was the last time someone had comforted her like this? The memories were foggy, likely stemming far back from childhood when her mother was still alive.  She'd been so accustomed to self-soothing that she'd forgotten how good it felt, to be wrapped in someone else's arms, to lean on someone else. To not be in control, for once.

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?”

Teaser for my Royai WIP

So, I dusted off this baby. I left off a couple years ago and it was 9k of Roy being an ass in denial throughout canon. It's all very, "We are just friends! Why does everyone think we're together?"

Then Riza loses it because she thinks Roy was killed.

"Wait a second. Wait. Does...Hawkeye have feelings for me?"

"Nah. No way. She's too smart for that."

Then she's taken as a hostage under Bradley and Roy is like, "Okay. Fuck. Why does it feel like someone has carved my heart out of my chest? Why do I miss her so much? WTF!"

I love to torture Roy and I don't know why.

Untitled WIP snippet

Roy knew from a young age what type of woman he liked—the beautiful girls who worked for his aunt. Willowy and soft, or with plentiful curves in the right places. They had long hair and painted their lips. They wore flowery perfumes.

As an apprentice to Berthold Hawkeye, teenage Roy spent much of his limited free time chasing the experienced village girls who liked the idea of fooling around with an aspiring alchemist.

Riza Hawkeye, boyish in both looks and demeanor, plus much too young for him, wasn’t on his radar. And he wasn’t on her radar at all. When she was fourteen, she accidentally walked out the door right when he was kissing his girlfriend on the doorstep.

Riza turned bright red and immediately retreated back into the safety of the house. She had recovered by the time Roy bumped into her in the kitchen.

“Sorry about that,” he said, scratching the back of his head nervously. He didn’t want to get in trouble with Master Hawkeye for traumatizing his innocent child. “I didn’t mean to give you a terrible memory.”

“Yes, it was kind of terrible. I don’t think you’re supposed to suck both lips into your mouth.”

“Apology rescinded,” he said, tossing a bread roll at her head which she easily dodged. Riza so rarely insulted him, but when she did, she didn’t hold back.

She could tear a man down with just a few words. Roy preferred girls who showered him with flirtatious praise. Maybe it was because Master Hawkeye was constantly dragging Roy’s ego through the mud, but he craved even the shallowest praise from his girlfriends.

Riza clearly took after her father with her barbs.

Chapters: 1/4 Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga Rating: Mature (mostly teen but the very end gets a little extra content) Warnings: None Relationships: Riza Hawkeye/Roy Mustang Additional Tags: Teasing, Very light smut, Temptation, Emotionally Repressed, Jealousy Summary:

“Is that who I think it is?” Riza spun in her stool to see Maes Hughes towering over them with an obnoxious smile. “Didn’t you have a birthday party to attend? Is this the lucky birthday boy?” To her horror, Ian stood from his chair to greet Maes with a handshake. “Not exactly. Major Ian Davies, friend of the birthday girl.” Riza slid from her seat to stand beside Ian. “Is the rest of the unit here?” “They left around 1:30. Roy stayed out with me.” He looked smug. Ian looked interested to hear that. “Colonel Roy Mustang?” “In the flesh,” responded her Colonel as he came up behind Hughes. Riza made eye contact with him. He looked stunned to see her standing beside the Major. It was clear he hadn’t seen her through the crowd. His jaw ticked slightly when he processed the image standing in front of him. NOTE: This fic is on the line between teen & mature but I chose to rate it mature to be on the safe side.
