Thank you for making gay people Mr Neil

That's very kind of you to thank me but the majority of the credit should probably go either to God or their mothers.

Royai week 2023 fic recs

In honor of Royai week in the Fruits & Roots server, I chose to highlight some of my favorite Royai fics I gathered these past years (not many years, since I've been on AO3 for 2 years and a half only). Each day, I'll recommend a few fics in a particular setting

Day 6: Choice of Song: Liar, Amend, All Things End, If We Were Vampires - Pre-Canon fics

Pre-canon is Roy and Riza's childhoods, Roy's years of apprenticeship with Riza's father, their time in the academy, Ishval, and the years before the main events of the manga, while the team is still in East City. There's so much to explore with them!

After a fic, a collab, a podfic, there was only poetry missing!

Just Follow My Lead by jacksparrow589 / @js589

Roy stopped. "You don't know how to dance?" "Not much and not well," Riza clarified. "I remember Father having me dance on his feet once or twice when I was small, and of course there's been dances at festivals, but…" She trailed off. Roy gave her a look that wasn't quite pity. It was almost scrutinizing. "I'll teach you." "I didn't ask you to." It was an utterly feeble excuse, and Riza said it quietly. "Well, do you want to, or shall I?" Roy asked, once again flashing an easy smile that always made Riza's heart speed just a little. All she could do was smile in return. Roy teaches Riza how to dance. It goes… both better and more angsty than expected.

Did you ever say "no" to Royai dancing?

A tender gesture over paperwork on a summer evening leads to a revelation.

I'm melting at the softness of this short OS 😍

Five sunflowers, twice a year by GelatoSushi / @gelatosushix

"A note!" Havoc exclaimed. "Ah-ha!" "Havoc, I don't think Lieutenant Hawkeye would enjoy-" Fuery sat up too, his voice cracking slightly. "Now, we'll surely know who these damned flowers are from!" He worked the folded piece of paper, exposing the scratchy handwriting, and, bringing the note up closer to his face, he unsuccessfully tried to decipher the horrible scrawl.  "So?" Breda asked eagerly. "Hold on… God, this dude's handwriting is shit!" "Let me see." Falman stretched his hand out for the note, Havoc happily passing it on.  "Have at it. The writing's almost as bad as the Colonel's." Twice a year, every spring and every autumn, Lieutenant Hawkeye got five sunflowers, bundled together with a red, expensive ribbon, from a mystery man none of them had any clue about. But when the same thing happened the sixth time in a row, Havoc decided it was time for a proper investigation, worthy of the whole team.

Team Mustang is just the best here, and if you're feeling down this might be the best thing to cheer you up!

Six times he stands before a grave in the rain, grieving. But this time, courage is reborn.

Poetic and beautiful, full of angst but with a light of hope

Day 5: Body Art: Art 1 Art 2 Art 3 - E-Rated fics

Because Royai means yearning and forbidden love, it can also mean heated encounters and passionate love. And when great authors bring Riza and Roy together and give them the most beautiful intimate and hot scenes, it's even better!

So yes, all the fics bellow are rated E!

may i feel, said he by egoistas, tsaritsaa / @egoiistas @tsaritsa

“Professor Mustang.” He looks up. Like clockwork. “Miss Hawkeye.” Amused, he fiddles with the keys to his office door and says, “I’m starting to think you’re doing this on purpose now.”

This one could have been in the AU recs or in the day 7 recs, but it's in today's list mainly because of the rating. And I chose it to be here because it's also one of the fics that brought me to the Royai community (back in the time where I mostly read fics in ffnet)

eloquent by hanamuri / @hanamuri

Touch was forbidden between them for years. Until Roy lost his sight, and Riza had her throat slit.

Oh, this one. This one 😍😍😍 It speaks for itself (pun intended)

Starve the Ego, Feed the Soul by onthearrow / @onthearrow

Something has changed between them since the Promised Day.

One of my latest coups de cœur! I don't think "crush" would be good enough to describe what I felt while reading

it's time to go by priscilladm / @priscilla-dm

Barry the Chopper attempts to kill First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, but when he fails, he develops an adoration for her. Colonel Roy Mustang is protective over his adjutant when he finds out what has unfolded, but it’s impossible to tell whether it’s professional concern or completely unrelated to work.

Holsters? Holsters.

Holding Out (Makes It Better) by Poppy Pelican / @poppy-pelican

“Why don’t we make a…competition of it?” Roy said, standing up like he was going to give orders. “A…team building exercise, if you will.” His eyes drifted to Hawkeye, giving her a meaningful look that he hoped conveyed: back me up on this or else. OR Mustang's team bonds over who can keep from touching themselves the longest.

A really fun way to bond!

"I haven't cried for so long I forgot how hard it is to make the tears stop"

Heyy, this is yet another wip that actually grew on me enough for me to post it, so here it is! I hope I'll finish it one day (yeah, right), but it's been sitting in my drafts for a while, so I thought I'd share a small piece of good old angst with you all :'))
