Summary
"The first time she sets to changing the bandages on his face, Roy stops her with a hand on her wrist. His hair had hung over his face as he turned away from her and warned her that it was ugly. The raw flesh and the clipped bone. Riza doesn't know how to express to him that she doesn’t care about the physical damage, that she is just so happy that he is alive that it makes her hands tremble. In the end, she brushes his hair to the side and meets his gaze without flinching as the gauze falls away."
After the coup against Bradley, something blooms between them during Roy's recovery. But there is only so much that love can heal.
Inspired by the song "Antebellum" by Vienna Teng

Summary
He stood in the middle distance off to her left, a hand raised above his head in a lazy wave like he had spotted her immediately, easily, despite the crowd. Roy Mustang. Everything about him so familiar and so cherished by her, from the shine of his sleek, dark hair to the way his cheek dimpled as he beamed at her.
Riza felt pinned to the spot for a moment; her heart rabbiting in her chest, her stomach tumbling over itself at the sight of him, at the knowledge that he was there. Finally, at last, back in Central. This time, to stay.

Summary
“Oh, no you don’t,” Roy snatched Riza’s hand and pulled it away from her mouth. “You know I like to hear you, darling.”
Riza made an admirable show of trying to wrestle control over her expression, even as her cheeks burned bright red. When she spoke, it was with a remarkable amount of composure considering the way her breath was shaking on each inhale.
“You might, but I doubt my neighbors will be so—ah—appreciative…”

Summary
“This all feels a bit easy, doesn’t it?” Riza hummed warmly as she leaned against his side. Roy couldn’t help but scoff.
“You’re suggesting that anything we’ve gone through in the past eight years has been easy?” he laughed, incredulous. All the same, he draped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her in close, a kiss pressed to the crown of her head. “Reversing the tyrannical dictator regime of immortal monsters not enough for you, Hawkeye?”

Summary
“I like the idea of getting away from here,” Riza admits softly. “Sometimes, it feels a bit like a prison. But I couldn’t…”
She thinks of her father, hunched over in his study, writing by candlelight like a man possessed for days on end.
“…I couldn’t leave Father.” She finishes, heaving a sigh, unable to look Roy in the eye. She nearly jumps out of her skin when she feels the back of his knuckles brush a lock of her hair from her face.
“Master doesn’t own you, Riza.” He tells her softly, and the look in his eyes is something complicated.

Summary
Roy is going to have to watch her die.
The sword against Hawkeye’s throat is infuriatingly quiet. There is no resonant snap of fingers, no roar of flames, no gunshot to echo through the hollow air. The blade sings silently through her flesh and she looks surprised by the first spurt of blood—like she didn’t even feel it.
--
How it must have felt for Roy in the moments he thought he was going to lose Riza, and the aftermath in the hospital.
