[malamira]

has anyone done enemies to lovers royai but follows canon as in riza and roy still basically grow up together and riza follows him into the military but in the midst of the ishval civil war she can’t continue on as an amestrian soldier so she defects to the side of ishval and becomes the deadliest sniper in history?

she was labeled “atropos,” after one of the fates, the inevitable. nearly every amestrian soldier who crossed her barrel in the midst of battle died nearly after. nearly every single one, because she can’t bring herself to shoot the flame alchemist.

when the war ends riza flees but she’s a wanted criminal. one of the most wanted criminals, for treason, several counts of murder, and a myriad of other charges. she’s been on the run for years, camping out on her own or in ishvalan settlements.

she’s a master in stealth, they said—for years the amestrian military have been on the hunt for one of the most dangerous traitors they’ve ever had, but she always managed to slip through their fingers. all the evidence they manage to collect somehow always goes missing. the people they take in as witnesses suddenly don’t want to talk. the records they manage to pull together conveniently get altered. they say she has a spy in the military, someone with enough power and resources to keep her safe and alive.

roy’s face is blank during meetings.

彡EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE

a/n- this one’s for all my fma baby girls (please tell me yall get it)

˗ˏˋ«────── « 𓆩♡𓆪 » ──────»

you sat on the roof of pinako's house watching the sunset, and you thought back on the times you spent with ed and al. they weren't the fluffiest of memories, but they will be something you will always cherish.

"what's going on in that head of yours?" ed teases you as walks onto the roof to sit next to you he gently nudges his shoulder into yours.

"just thinkin about everything we've all been through, it's crazy to think that it's all over. I'm finally going home" you smile to yourself but ed, on the other hand, can't help but feel sad at the thought of you not being around anymore. despite all the teasing, he endured from winry and al they were right he's fallen for you.

"so what are you gonna do when you get home?" he smiles down at you concealing the fact that he doesn't want you to go.

you lean your head on his shoulder "after all this traveling I'm just going to go home and take the longest nap of my life. not being on the run from people trying to kill you is refreshing." you lift your head off his shoulder to look at him "what about you what are you gonna do?"

he frowns slightly at the absence of your touch but quickly carries on hoping you didn't catch it "I don't think I can stay down for long I'm probably going to travel a little and maybe I'll start relaxing after that."

you raise a brow "'maybe'?" you tease him "ed you've almost died on over twenty different occasions I think you're the first person who needs to relax."

"i guess you're right, i'll take it easy for about a week then I'm off."

you stare at him with an unimpressed blank stare "ed. take a break. please."

he laughed then put his hands up in mock surrender "alright alright, you know i could never say no to you. i'm going to miss you when you leave you, know that?"

you rest your head on his shoulder "i'm gonna miss you too, I don't wanna leave and go home but at the same time..." you sigh "i don't know."

he leans his head on yours and the two of you sit in comfortable silence. your train was stopping in town tomorrow and he didn't want to say goodbye, he stared at you watching the sunset and his eyes softened at the sight of you. it was either now or never.

"hey y/n..." you hummed a response

“i want to thank you for sticking by my side this whole time…you gave your time and i’ll give mine, equivalent exchange right?”

he lifted his head off yours which caused you to lift your head off his shoulder to look at him, he looked you in the eyes with a deep blush coating his cheeks.

“so let me give you my heart in return does that sound fair?”

your eyes grew wide at his confession, you’re speechless you were unable to utter a single word besides his name “edward…” you then composed yourself and smiled at him “you big dummy you know i have to get on my train tomorrow what are we going to do about that-”

“i don’t care!” he shouts his face becoming redder and redder by the minute “i just needed to tell you before you left okay, along the way i’ve fallen for you and i’d rather tell you now instead of watching you go without saying anything.”

you wrap your arms around him squeezing him tightly “we’ll work something out ed i promise…but i still believe in equivalent exchange…so…your heart is in my hands while my heart is in your hands. deal?”

he pulls back to cup your face in his hands “deal.” he seals the deal with a kiss a small moment of bliss that lasted a lifetime.

Hello! Can I ask for an Edward Elric x FMAB uniform kink? Thanks so much!

Kinktober 2023

Edward Elric - Uniform Kink

“Why did we decide to help the Colonel with cleaning up his storage again?’ Ed complained loudly, as he lifted a box of old memorabilia from the dusty attic floor.

“It’s the least we could do for our ex-fuhrer.” you admonished. “You don’t want him to throw his back out, fumbling with the boxes here, do you?”

Ed grumbled some more, but continued to clear away the space. 

You knelt to pick up the box labelled ‘To throw’. The lid was slightly open and you peered in to find the old Amestris uniform. You pulled out the shirt and exclaimed, “Mein Gott, was ist das?” 

Ed looked over at you and grimaced, “That’s just the old man’s stinky uniform. Throw it out,” he replied before going back to packing.

Devious thoughts went through your brain, and you secretly shoved it into your bag when he wasn’t looking.

Later that evening, when the two of you had returned home, Ed was lounging on the sofa and you were feeling bored. You got up to get ready for bed. 

As you stood in front of the bedroom mirror, you couldn't help but glance at the uniform you had swiped from the attic. It hung there innocently, the military insignia catching the dim light of the room. A mischievous grin tugged at the corners of your lips as she contemplated her next move.

With a mixture of curiosity and excitement, you decided to try the uniform on just for fun. After all, how often did one get the chance to dress up like a high-ranking military officer? You carefully slipped out of her own clothes and into the uniform, buttoning it up and adjusting it as best as you could. It was a bit baggy on you, but it felt surprisingly comfortable.

You admired herself in the mirror, striking a few poses and imagining what it must have been like to be part of the military. You couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence and power as you looked at your reflection.

Just as you were about to take off the uniform and put on your pajamas, the bedroom door swung open, and in walked Ed, rubbing his eyes sleepily. He stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes widening in shock as he took in the sight of you in the uniform.

For a split second, something strange happened in Ed's mind. He thought he saw Roy Mustang, his old military officer, standing before him. His sleep-addled brain couldn't process it properly, and he blinked in disbelief. Then, reality crashed back in, and he realized that it was you dressed in the uniform.

Ed's expression quickly shifted from surprise to a mixture of confusion and mild disgust. "What the hell are you doing, Y/n?" he asked, his voice tinged with annoyance.

You, not one to back down, decided to take advantage of the situation. You approached Ed with a playful grin and a seductive tone in her voice. "Well, Ed," you purred, "I thought it might be fun to play dress-up tonight. Don't you find a woman in uniform... appealing?"

Ed's cheeks flushed bright red, and he stammered, "Y/n, this is ridiculous. Take that off right now!"

But you were undeterred. You stepped closer, running a finger along the collar of the uniform. "Come on, Ed," you whispered, "I've always had this fantasy of being with a man in uniform. Please, just this once?"

Ed's resistance wavered as he looked into your pleading eyes. He grumbled under his breath, "You're crazy, you know that?" But against his better judgment, he found himself reluctantly agreeing. "Fine, but just for a moment, okay?"

You practically squealed with delight as she helped Ed into the baggy uniform. It was a comical sight, given that Ed was significantly shorter than the original owner of the uniform. You both burst into laughter as they struggled to get it to fit him properly.

You grinned, feeling victorious. "I knew you'd come around, Colonel Ed." You playfully saluted him.

Stepping closer to you he holds your chin with one hand, "I still think you have been a naughty girl though Liebe. His eyes drop to your lips as he closes his eyes and leans in. You close the gap and your lips meet. His hand goes to your waist pulling you in closer. Your hands lie on his uniform garbed chest feeling the old cotton fabric and the muscles underneath them.

As your tongues fight for dominance one of his clothed hands venture down to your panties. Pulling them to the side he swipes your pussy with a finger, "Wow already wet? Didn't know you liked men in uniforms that badly love." He pushes you onto the bed, "My obedient girl is going to let me do whatever I want to her right." He says more so as a statement than as a question. You've never seen this dominant side of Ed. Your lips stay shut with only moans escaping and your legs pressing together to feel some relief from the aching.

"Tsk tsk", Edward now on top of you pulls your legs apart, "I'm the one in charge. Don't do things unless I tell you to. Got it?" You nod meekly making Ed laugh a bit. Just a few moments ago you were so sensual and seductive, now the uniform has turned you into such a shy little thing for him to ravage.

While maintaining eye contact with you, he brings up one of his hands and takes off his glove in a mostly smooth fashion. He inserts a finger into your eager hole and pumps it in and out. The other hand works its way under your shirt to massage your breasts. Seeing how easily he fit a finger in, he added 2 more stretching you out a bit and making you moan. He goes faster and faster.

As your moans fill the room he starts groaning as well. "Good girl. Taking my fingers so well. I didn't know you were so easy baby. Bit of a slut for a man who can do anything to you hmmm". He felt your pussy pulse from his dirty words.

The hand on your breast soon moved to his belt, unbuckling it and he quickly let his cock come out. Fully erect, it stood there waiting to enter you. Ed sees you practically salivating for it, "Not just yet. I want you to cum on my fingers. Can you do that for me?"

"Y-yes Colonel" you squeak out. The knot builds as Ed fingers you and the other hand plays with your clit. And soon enough you cum feeling a wave of pleasure. You pant and groan coming down from your high.

"Now now soldier, we aren't done yet tonight."

Your colonel,

Don't You Throw It All Away - Royai Angst, 226 Words

(On AO3 | CW for mentioned self-harm)

It would be easier if he'd been drunk. But no, Roy had been fully sober when he burned himself.

"You can't keep doing this to yourself," Riza said. "And don't try to tell me this is the first time. You've been taking bigger and bigger risks since the trial. This is just an escalation."

He didn't even look up from the wound she was treating.

"Captain, I--"

"Riza," she said. "You're going to call me Riza from now on." With some effort, she kept her voice steady. "And you're going to stop hurting yourself. That includes putting yourself in harm's way."

She finished wrapping the bandage around his forearm and, before she could talk herself out of it, sat down across from him and cradled his cheek in her hand. His eyes snapped away from the burns and locked onto her with an intensity completely at odds with his earlier listlessness.

"It's not your job to punish yourself because the court wouldn't," she said.

"We should be dead." It came out hoarse, like the words didn't want to leave his throat. Like he didn't want to let go of them.

"We should," she said. "But we're alive. So be alive."

And then she kissed him, the way she had wanted to for years, the way she wanted to keep kissing him for years to come.

The first thing Al thinks when he’s tethered to his body again is, it hurts.

His joints are screaming, his muscles are atrophied, the sun burns his eyes. He is so cold. He presses his hands into the concrete beneath him and takes in the sharp, sandy peaks that leave indents in his palms.

He feels the dull ache of a lump in his throat for the first time in years.

(Or, Al learns how to have a body)

Loving your Envy headcanon posts, I'd love to see more nsfw or sfw headcanons you have if you have any more

Hi hi! Thank you, I am happy to hear that you enjoy reading my works! And since you ask and you shall recieve, here are some more HCs for FMA Envy ^^ Excuse me for any grammar mistakes.

Fullmetal Alchemist Envy Headcanons

Warning! Some of these are NSFW, so if you are a minor or you are not comfortable with this type of content, skip this!

.

.

.

SFW

Doesn't take criticism from anyone besides Lust and Gluttony, and his s/o. Any criticism about his demeanor or especially his fashion sense would be met at the least with a death glare or a threat.

Talks quite a lot and if hi s\o points that out he will be pretty suprised since he himself never really noticed before they said it. If they say that they enjoy listening to him he will be quite happy though. And probably tell them every tought that passes through his mind.

Would use pet names such as dear, love and honey. Whenever his s\o feels insecure about themselves or simply down, he will put "my" before any pet names, to show them that they are wanted and loved, they aren't alone aopnd have a place in his arms at all times.

Knows his s/o very well. He would know them so well that he would notice that they are upset without them needing to say anything.

Because he can shape shift he would adore an s/o that would love him for who he is, no matter what form he takes. For that same reason I think he would value someone's personality more than their looks, and would enjoy talking to people that are interesting and fun to be around.

I already mentioned this, but he is very very curious and because of that trait he would take interest any hobbies hi s/o has. Reading, knitting, cooking he is all for it. He would especially like it if they are into fashion and would offer them to try out different outfits on him.

I think he would have a hard time responding when his s/o compliments him for the first few times, since he doesn't really belive they are saying the truth. He praises himself almost all the time, saying that homunculi are much stronger and smarter than humans, but in reality he desires to be like humans. He is envious of them. He does not think of himself as highly as he appears to be. So, as soon as he realises his s/o genuinely means what they say when they compliment him he would be secretly melting on the inside.

Loves to see his s/o embrassed or shy, especially if he is the reason for it. Would tease them saying: "What? Shy now?" with a proud smirk.

NSFW

Definitely has a praise kink. His s/o making him feel like he is the only person in the world, complimenting his preffered form, his personality etc, gets him going very easily.

The type to be very touchy and say: "Where do you want my hands now? Here? Or maybe here? Or should I slide them under your shirt, hm?".

I see him doing anything his s/o wants to try out, but I don't think he would be very comfortable with degradation. He just doesn't see a reason for his s/o to like being insulted by him, but he wouldn't mind engaging into that.

Never begs. Like never ever. He would find any possible way to say "please" than to actually say it. "Come on, it wouldn't hurt if you do that for me" "I promise you will enjoy it lots" "Don't stop, don't you dare"

I think he would love giving oral and would be very skilled at it, naturally. He probably has little to no expirience in that field since it takes trust to do that with someone, but he is a quick learner and once he knows what his s/o likes he takes them to heaven.

Envy would be into biting, specifically his s/o biting him. Seeing the marks they leave on his skin and feeling the slight pain makes him hard in no time. His favourite places for his s/o to bite him at are his neck and tighs.

Loves it when his s/o moans or whispers dirty talk into his ear, since he is quite possesive and wants them all to himself, and that way he is the only one who hears their voice sounding like that. Not to mention how intimate it feels for him.

He is always gentle. If his s/o wants him to be rough they should tell him, since he usually enjoys a slower pace so that he can fully enjoy every moment of intimacy he has them under the sheets.

Never goes without prasing his partner for making him feel nice.

He would tell them what he likes so that it's easier for his s/o to please him. Communication is key.

"There you go again, knowing exactly how I like it. You're so good, my dear. Always listening to me."

Eye contact. Loves it, absolutely adores it, whenever he does something he is sure his s/o will like he looks them in the eyes or holds their face by their chin so they look at him.

"You won't mind if I ask you to look me in the eyes, right? I wanna see just how cute of a face you can make under my touch"

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤️

AHHHHH I will do my best!

The Butterfly Dream - Fullmetal Alchemist This is effectively the first fanfic I wrote (....as an adult, do we count things I wrote as a 13 year old Doctor Who fan?) and I still reread it fairly often because of how much I enjoy it. An attempt to combine various concepts I really like in both '03 and Brotherhood. And it's set in Xing, because I want more Xing.

After The World West Awry - Sherlock Holmes

I know lots and LOTS of people have done stories where Sherlock Holmes ends up in the 21st century through various ways and means, but I had thoughts about how I'd do it (namely that he's not going to be ok with being there without Watson), so I did.

If anyone ever sits me down and asks if I have a Sherlock Holmes related screenplay, I'd shove this at them.

Golden Visions, Are Ye Flown?

When writing my game The Beekeeper's Picnic I kept dropping hints in the text that Holmes' vision is fairly limited, mostly as a way to get around him not spotting things the player hasn't closely examined.

I ended up writing this to explore that, and get out some of my "Holmes and Watson end up in Sussex together" feels since the game won't be finished for a long time. So if you're getting fed up waiting for that game this is like the next best thing?

His Brother - Sherlock Holmes

It's about all about Mycroft, who is my blorbo.

Last but definitely lot least...

Watson is a Time Lord in collaboration with @jeremys-come-to-bed-eyes and @fruitviking (who made this cover!)

I feel like this epitomises what I love about fanfiction? Is the concept absolutely bananas? Yes. Is it ridiculously self-indulgant? Again, yes. Are we treating it deathly seriously? Mostly. Are we enjoying ourselves writing it? ABSOLUTELY!

I just think that we've squeezed this concept dry and then someone will come up with another idea and we ping off all over again.

(Although not going to lie, the fact that in the year 2023 I am writing something which at least meets the "Who" and the "lock" part of... y'know, makes me want to stare at a wall and have an existential crisis)

Hey guys, want weird snippet of the weird Gothic/haunted house Royai thing I'm working on?

Riza Hawkeye arrived at Corvinrock House in rain that was more drizzle than downpour, but she still hesitated to leave the carriage that had carried her to the old manor. Her dress was one of the only things she owned suitable for the coming days. Most of her clothes were sturdy, practical wear, and she wasn't too proud to admit that she'd patched several of the skirts herself. They were perfectly good for her daily activities, but her daily activities didn't involve lawyers, the wealthy, or manor houses. Instead, they involved a part-time job at a tailor's shop in West City where the proprietor met her requests for a more long-term position by insisting that she was a pretty girl who should find herself a husband rather than trying to take on more work.

She tried not to let herself think about what the meetings to come might mean, but the litany played in her head nonetheless: never having to go back to that tailor's shop, or the worn-down boarding house she’d moved into after the bank foreclosed on her father’s house, never having to pawn the last of her treasured possessions, never having to count her halfpennies and decide between bread and the streetcar fare to the shop.

Never feeling like she had no family again.

That thought she squashed immediately. It wasn't a possibility. The grandfather she had never known was dead. His fortune might have ridden in on a white horse, but he never had. The best possible outcome now was that she, the least of the relations, the low-class offspring of an estranged daughter, would walk away three days hence with enough money to her name to build a more secure future. A family wasn't just too much to hope for, it was a delusional dream.

The driver, dressed in Grumman family livery and clearly impatient at this woman in her faded blue frock with her second-hand trunk who was taking so long to get out of the carriage, cleared his throat. Riza gathered her skirts, stepped out onto the paving stones of the Corvinrock House drive, and braced herself. She didn't know who waited for her inside, but she did know that she wouldn't be one of them.

Hi. Can I request some headcanons of Edward Elric with a hypermobile s/o? I’m hypermobile and I have a track record of kneecap problems.

When you kneed him

Edward is always concerned about YN's knees and often reminds them to be careful when doing physical activities. He'll even help YN with stretching exercises to strengthen their knees and prevent future injuries.

YN often has to wear knee braces or supports, and Edward is always there to help them put them on or take them off. He also doesn't mind carrying YN when their knees are bothering them.

Despite YN's knee problems, they still love to dance, and Edward is always happy to oblige. He'll spin YN around the room and even dips them carefully to avoid any unnecessary strain on their knees.

YN's hypermobility can sometimes cause them to dislocate their joints, including their kneecaps. Edward is always quick to pop them back into place and make sure YN is comfortable.

When YN is having a bad knee day, Edward will often take them out for a relaxing day at home. They'll watch movies, play board games, and just enjoy each other's company without any physical strain.

Edward is always researching new techniques and remedies for YN's knee problems. He'll try out different stretches, exercises, and even home remedies to see what works best for them.

YN's knee problems can be a source of frustration and pain, but Edward is always there to comfort them. He'll give YN massages or even draw them a hot bath to help ease their discomfort.

When YN has to attend events or go out in public, Edward is always mindful of their knee problems. He'll scout out the venue ahead of time to make sure there are no stairs or other obstacles that might cause YN pain.

YN's knee problems can be a challenge, but Edward never lets it get in the way of their relationship. He loves YN for who they are, and their knee problems are just a small part of what makes them unique and special to him.

Despite YN's knee problems, they're always up for adventure, and Edward is right there beside them. They'll go hiking, exploring, and even rock climbing (with proper safety precautions, of course). Edward is always ready to support YN and help them overcome any obstacles that come their way.

Your kneecap,

Admin Sav

> fmab band au babbles!

a few notes before i get started:

this is TERRIBLY MESSY!! i apologize in advanced as this is a long ramble meant for me to help organize my thoughts :p

modern highschool setting

very much centered around ling. i like him and think he deserves more content.

features edling (ed x ling), a broken up edwin, royai, and al x mei. mainly edling

i’m not very good at aus. sorry

i made a(n) [iffy] playlist where i slapped a bunch of songs onto for this au. here is the link if you’d like:

enjoy my ramblings below the cut! vvv

ling has always been an outgoing and friendly person, but has struggled to keep relationships due to his own insecurities. lan fan was one of his first official friends because she’s helped him snap out of his negativity and has pushed him to be the confident person he should be

> ( she looked at him and went. “damn bitch. u really live like this.” and decided to help him like he was a stray dog left out in the rain )

the insecurities in question were of him wondering if he was really worth anyone’s time as a lot of people seemed to get annoyed of him (people thought him to be cocky or too much of a “pick-me” personality)

he was also battling with his own identity as he realizes he likes Men (and women!) + wants to experiment more with his fashion (he wants to try on black nailpolish)

> ( think ling would also resonate with prom queen by beach bunny )

her encouragement led to ling being able to pursue his passion in music and arts, ending up in him creating music

the two of them were able to find their own respective talents regarding instruments and basically created a two-man band ( ft. fu funding their creative projects )

ling broke into the band room after hearing someone going ham on the drums (someone being ed) and recruited him and all his friends to join

he was really enthusiastic about this and did not even bother to ask for their names or if they could play an instrument

al is the first person to agree because he’s just as excited as ling is. he really wants to show off his years of piano skills to someone other than his tired old brother and an equally tired winry

winry joins shortly thereafter thinking she could get someone to coach her on how to play the guitar better (she picked it up recently because she wanted to accompany ed and al on their musical journeys)

ed is the last to reluctantly agree because he thinks ling is a bit strange at first. he ends up caving in because two people in the room keep staring at him with big puppy eyes in attempt to convince him

> ( this random kid he considered popular just invited him to join a makeshift band. what. )

as months fly by, everyone’s grown to be good friends

ling can proudly say hes got a good group of friends who’ll gladly make music with him. he’s perfectly happy and content with his life :p

until he realizes he Might have a little crush for the drummer boy

the little crush is not so little he actually has a huge fat crush on ed lmfao

the two have especially been spending a lot of time with one another during and out of school—they seem to have eachother in a lot more classes than they thought!

this makes things a little messy as ling starts writing more romantic songs (not very typical for him) and his band mates question his weird actions

basically this backfires right in ling’s face. he asks al about his brother’s relationships and he tells ling that ed and winry have some sort of relation going on

> ( little does he know: ed is currently going through the same exact thing he’s going through as he questions his sexuality )

ling ends up heartbroken because he assumes that ed is straight (He has piercings, ripped jeans, and black nail polish.That boy is homo!) and starts to fall back into his old habits

like a harsh wound, his insecurities reopen once more to make ling question if all the time they spent together was a lie

> ( was it all really one-sided??? ling could’ve sworn he saw ed look at him with love in his eyes. or maybe that was just his imagination??? )

ling grows distant from ed and refuses to communicate with him out of fear that 1. his worries are true 2. he’s homophobic 3. he himself is admitting to not being straight (like everyone thought he was)

though he notices, ed is stuck on two different worlds and can’t make a decision. he likes both winry and ling too much and doesn’t want to hurt either of them. but in order to make a choice, he must

al is practically the only one happy at this point because he meets mei somewhere along the way and they’re going great :) i don’t want to cause alphonse any pain

lan fan is stressing out over losing her friends and the band that she knows ling worked hard to put together

fu doesn’t have any idea what’s going on

in short everyone is in pain (besides al and fu) and it’s a confusing teenage love story about kids figuring out who they are and what they want (and don’t want) in life
