Ray is going to tend to Roy’s injuries.  From this meme. ( @dcgsofgrit​ )

Rachael was in the kitchen when she heard a faint knock on her door.  She put down everything in her hand to see who it could be at this hour.  her eyes settled on Roy standing there looking worse for wear.  he was dirty and his usually spotless uniform was soiled with blood.  

The disheveled look instantly caused concern to wash over her as she moved to help him in.  She got him to the couch then frowned.  “Ya do know you aren’t made of armor right?”  She said she moved to get everything she needed.

When she returned she sighed.  “Clothes off.”  She said as she lifted the rag to start wiping his face.  “You know this bothers me right?  Seeing the person who matters most to me all banged up.”

Verses

Please be advised these are just verse specifics. The majority of her stats can be found under her DOSSIER.

If I get more threads in certain fandoms I’ll add it to my main list.

Main:

DC v| Some Just Want to Watch the World Burn

Orphaned at a young age she was eventually adopted by a mercenary along with her brother. They remained with him until a series of unfortunate events eventually lead her down a dark path. With her expert skills she became a deadly weapon, used by many before eventually coming to her senses. She still took the occasional contract killing but for the most part started doing whatever the hell she felt like doing.

Fallout v| Just a Pocketful of Bottlecaps

War never changes. Be it the one around you or the one raging inside. Life in this post apocalyptic world is difficult and sometimes even tedious. Traveling across the country she found herself constantly searching for the next adventure. Here she offers her services to the highest bidder.

Far Cry (3+) v| Shoot First Ask Questions Later

She’s not all bad. While she excels in killing she’s also very efficient in tracking down missing persons. So when she got a high paying job to find a missing reporter she quickly jumped at what she imagined would be an easy job. However, she soon came to realize this wasn’t the case.

Marvel - Mutant (Gravity manipulation) v | What Goes Up Must Come Down

Faye and her brother were both born as mutants, their villainous father attempted to turn them into living weapons against the humans. However, this did not come to fruition as her mother attempted to escape with them. She was killed and the pair left orphaned until another mutant took them in. He trained them in hopes of assisting in mastering their abilities in preparation for the trials they'd be faced with as mutants. On her own, her criminal tendencies became a problem and eventually, her adoptive father paid the ultimate price. She struggled for a while before eventually coming to terms with her grief and moving on to assist other mutants.

Modern (Main) v| Not Just a Pretty Face

** Check out her Dossier. Minor changes may be made to fit a certain thread.

Resident Evil Village v| In the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time

It should’ve been an easy job; locate the missing reporter and return the intel back to the client. However, things quickly took a turn for the worse when she found herself hunted by feral-minded humans that took an ungodly amount of ammo to put down only one. Despite this, her insatiable curiosity and unwillingness to leave a job incomplete drove her deeper into the depths of impending trouble.

Western (RDR) v| No Rest for the Wicked

Tragedy is just something she’s grown used to at this point. She’s lived a rough life but refused to let it get the best of her. As an outlaw, she tended to spend most of her time roaming around and stirring up trouble where she can. Most times she can be found on her own in bars or in a good ol’ fashion shootout but on occasion, she’s been known to join up with a gang or another partner. On even rarer occasions she may have taken a deal with the law to “settle down” and abandon her barbaric ways to keep from being hung or jailed. But she’s always looking for the next adventure.

Zombie Apocalypse (TWD, L4D, TLOU) v| Keep Finding Something to Fight For

Life was hard, even before the fall of modern civilization. With the infected roaming around Faye has learned the hard way how deadly her anger can be for those around her. Her mistakes weigh heavily on her and she’s chosen to try and keep to her own in hopes of sparing other innocent lives the same fate as previous loved ones. However, if approached by a group or another individual to join them she finds it damn near impossible to decline.

Specific verses/aus with other muns:

Apocalyptic Gotham - Justacomedy v| From Dust and Ash

The world as they knew it ended in a bright flash of light and several violent quakes. Everything went dark soon after as the skies were filled with the smoke of the Earth on fire. It went on for days as communication between cities flickered out. Gotham was already crawling with delinquents and criminals so when the dust and ash cleared and they saw their new world they took full advantage of the chaos. They overran the city and made it their own hellhole, forming factions and taking everything they wanted. With years of mercenary work and survival skills under her belt, Faye gathering what she could in preparation for her trek to find a new home. However, it was cut short after coming across Arthur being beaten by raiders. Against her better judgment, she took in the frail man in hopes the two could help each other survive.

@dcgsofgrit​ said: “All of the mothers raise their babies to stay away from me.” - Mustang

The words stung.  She didn’t want that to be true but a lot of people distrusted the military despite everything.  It had been so much.  She never realized how much it hurt him though.  She reached out taking his hand in her own to give him a squeeze. 

“You are a good man and a better boyfriend.”  She offered a smile to him.  “And eventually we will have our own little babies...  Maybe.”

[truesymphony]

Talk about Roy

"Roy?" Ray couldn't help but get this dreamy look. "I would go through hell for that man and I have. He has always been strong and exudes power. The moment we met her didn't take any shit from me but he was also gentle enough. He made me respect him n that was the beginning of the end. My feeling just kept growing. He was.... Handsome and dreamy." She said softly.

"Aside from that, he is really an incredible leader. He cares about everyone. That's why he wants to change things for the better. I admire him so much for that." And so many other things. "He is really smart too."

[truesymphony]

“I feel real called out about my crush on him but well...  he is a very good looking man.  I wouldn’t say no to him in the bedroom or well in any form which is what gets me into trouble.  however I’m practical and I know thins aren’t always so easy as that.  I care incredibly deeply for him but I am not always sure those feelings are returned.”

[truesymphony]

@ironmarkrose​ ( Roy ) asked:  💏 to receive a kiss from Ray.... discreetly.

Things took a change for the better since Rachael left the military.  Things were good.  They were all starting new chapters in their lives.  It was good but not everything fell perfectly into place.  Ray especially was finding her new footing.  She was all for supporting Roy in his dreams but there was still a looming issue over their heads.  Just what was their new relationship?  After all they had shared some heated moments during Promise Day and there after while he was recovering.  What it meant though was still up for debate.

It had been a few weeks and boredom had really got the best of her.  So she got coffee to bring to the office.  She wanted to catch up.  See how everyone was and mostly to see Roy.  She had no idea just what his reaction was going to be.

After some harmless flirting with Havoc she was told to wait for Roy in his office.  He was doing something.  She sat down on the couch watching the time.  When the door opened, it seemed no one clued him in since he was undoing his coat to fling aside.

The sight was something she didn’t mind seeing but it felt a bit wrong so she cleared her throat signaling she was there.

“Lewis.”  his voice was sharp as he turned to see her.  Clearly he wasn’t expecting it but he wasn’t upset.  More surprised.

“sorry Colonel.”  She chuckled as she stood up.  “Thought I’d bring everyone some coffee.”

“you don’t need to call me that any more.”  he said looking to see the last cup on the desk.  he went to pick it up.  Already cold.  A shame and a waste.  he let out a hum before moving to pour the cup in the planter.

A frown came to the redhead.  not exactly the best method of a thanks.  She figured that was a sign to go.  her head dropped and she was heading to the door when she felt his hand around her wrist.  He was surprisingly quick.  she looked up to see him eyeing her.

There was awkward silence as they just stared for a few moments before he let go of her.  “Is there a reason you are leaving?”

“you....”  she felt her cheeks flushing as she tried to form the proper words.  she was frustrated but she felt completely distracted.  She didn’t even really register what she was doing or why she was doing it.  Damn him.  “No?” 

“Well then sit.”  he said walking over to his desk to sit.  “is there a reason for the visit?”

“no.”  she said more confidently as she walked over to lean against his desk.  Her mind wasn’t as clouded.  “Thought maybe you would wanna see me?”

a smirk came to the flame alchemist as he shifted putting his hand on her knee.  “Of course I want to see you.”  his voice was thick and sultry causing her to get red.  

The moment was effectively ruined however when his door was flung open and a not ever pleased Hawkeye was standing there.  Ray jumped up then looked at her.  “Someone is in trouble.”  She mused. 

“where is your paperwork?”  Riza questioned and he held it up.  As the blonde was looking over the papers ray leaned over and gave him a quick kiss before anyone could see.

“I’ll go.”  Ray said before she left Roy sitting there with his mouth gaping.  She won that round.

[truesymphony]

@burningflamesofhell​ continued from here.

The whole scene was a bit hard to watch.  The colonel had taken it a lot better than she probably would have.  She personally would have decked the guy regardless of the rules.  But that was why she was usually in trouble.  She waited a few moments before she walked over to shove a handkerchief at his face, careful not to actually hit his face.  She didn’t want to add to the pain.

“Want me to deck him?  I mean you can totally reprimand me for it later on cause technically not suppose to do the thing but he was a real dick.”  She wanted to do it.  Then again she never had good impulse control.  “Or y’know i could do something far worse but I shouldn’t tell you about that.  Better not to know.”

[truesymphony]

Rachael hadn’t expected Roy to be up so soon.  sharing an apartment with him could be frustrating at times.  The biggest plus to it was that she had full access to his clothes and man they were cozy.  She usually could take them off before he noticed however she was busted. 

She looked over her shoulder at him.  “perhaps.”  she said almost challenging him.  “if ya want it back you are gonna have ta pry it from me.”

@ironmarkrose​

[truesymphony]

@ironmarkrose​ liked for a thing.

It had been an unusually long week.  Things seemed to be happening left and right.  Some good but mostly just hectic so when ray finally got out of the office at a decent time she had decided to do something she enjoyed, spend time with Mustang.  She had went to his apartment to cook while he was still working.

She didn’t tell him her plan so she had to get into his apartment on her own which wasn’t as much trouble as she would have thought.  She would have to have a talk with him about that at some point.  For now, she focused on making a nice cozy dinner for just the two of them.  Whenever he got home he would be in for a pleasant surprise.

[truesymphony]

@thesmokingknight​ continued from here.

“Technically not a good idea because we aren’t suppose to fraternize with other officers but I’m sure we wouldn’t be the first.  But, if he tries to roast you, at least you got a nice date out of it which will lead to at least a kiss.”  She winked at him.  “But if ya can’t handle me just say so.  Don’t use Mustang as an excuse cause it’s lame.  I’ve never been turned down n I don’t want to have to say I got turned down because of another guy.”  Her tone was light and teasing of course.  She would respect his decision if that was what he really wanted.

“Okay I get it. I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.”  She held up her hands giving in to him.  “if you change your mind though you know where to find me.”

[truesymphony]

Ray and Roy’s ( @ironmarkrose ) relationship history:

Rachael had spent two years constantly being transferred from station to station.  Once she meet Maes Hughes however, things changed.  She was finally placed under Roy Mustang.  Their first meeting had been rocky but they quickly hit it off.  Ray was not like the other guys in his unit and she was the first female aside from Hawkeye to be assigned under him.  He had a reputation and most assume that females under him would not be a good idea.  However, with Ray it was different.

She would talk with him about miniskirts and girls and everything.  They quickly began to spend a lot of time together off the clock as well as on the clock.  They had inside jokes with each other, a silly handshake that ray insisted on and lots of time just looking out for each other.  Because of Ray, Roy actually had to buy things for when she came over to cook for him or just hang out since his apartment was where they would hang out more.  it’s just nicer than hers.

When his transfer to Central finally came through, she was brought with him which was perfect.  Not only did she spend time with him but she would often drag him to the Hughes household for game nights and various things.  Maes would tease Roy about things but it never went much beyond that since roy nor ray never thought much about it since neither saw it as anything more than best friends.

When they lost Hughes it changed things.  They knew something was wrong. Roy was determined to figure it out.  Ray tried to help but things were not lining up.  All she knew was she was going to do everything she could to push Roy forward to be the leader they needed.

Soon the Elric brothers uncovered more of the dark truth, things began to get complicated and messy. Soon Ray was sent back to the East where she was assigned to serve under Grumman.  She had expecting things to be much worse but once she was filling in on Grumman’s plans she was more relaxed.  She was still an ally to her friend. 

Ray worked with Grumman to plan aid to Roy when Promise day came.  Just before everything she left to be at Roy’s side when everything happened. She arrived in the middle or war.  the city was in in chaos.  Eventually she ended up finding her way underground where roy was.  She stumbled there to hear what Envy had done to Hughes.  It changed everything.  Ray knew something had snapped in her friend.  She stood there watching him.  It was a sight she had never seen before and she didn’t want to see it again.

At first she listened to his orders remaining there even after he left.  Hawkeye was the first to follow after him and ray could not stand back any longer.  She ran after them but it was probably too little too late. The underground was like a maze.  She trudged through till she found Roy.  there was something in his eyes.  Dark, empty and cold.  it made her ache.  he had finally found the killed but this wasn’t how to go.  Riza and Ed were trying to talk him down but he didn’t want to listen.

in the heat of things, Envy had gotten away after biting Ed.  Ray walked over to the creature then picked it up.  he was broken.  Ray couldn’t help but think how cruel it was.  This thing was only following what it had been told to do.  no choice, no forgiveness, no hope.  She looked up at roy then frowned saying how everyone deserves another chance.  Roy did not agree and it lead to some heated words but Envy had already decided.  he plucked the stone from himself fading away in her hands.  She shed a few tears for him though roy showed no sympathy claiming it was the cowards way out.

saddened by that, ray had no choice but to carry on.  Together they moved forward.  They were going further into a maze where they did not know what was ahead.  Soon they were faced with the doctor.  The man who started it all.  Anger boiled inside of her.  That feeling only intensified as Ed disappeared from their sides.  She knew this was bad.  Those creatures began to attack and there was nothing they could do.  Just one wrong move and they were dead.

Eventually Fuhrer Bradley, better known as Wrath showed up.  He kept spouting about this and that, but all Ray seemed to be able to focus on was roy.  Every hit, every word and every bit of malice directed toward the Colonel touched something in her.  She had always sworn herself to protect him but this was different.  

She had let her focus slip and she felt the first hit.  Something slashed into her skin ripping apart.  The shock caused her to cry out in pain.  She squeezed her eyes shut tightly trying to swallow down the pain.  When she opened her eyes again she was completely pinned unable to move or do anything but watch as Bradley tortured Roy by holding Hawkeye down.  The pain on his face.  She knew that look.  She could feel something unpleasant in her chest.

Even with her life on the line, Roy remained strong.  Ray struggled trying to stop it but then roy was forced into the circle.  She watched as he disappeared and she felt broken.  She didn’t know what happened but she just couldn’t believe that he was really gone.  Scar came just in time.  After everyone left, Ray remained to take out Bradley.  Her motivations were to avenge roy.

Bradley was the first person she helped kill.  Once he was gone she situated Scar then left searching for answers.  When she arrived down at the center of the mess, she saw roy.  He was clinging to Riza.  It was a very intimate moment.  Ray lurked in the shadows keeping out of the sight.  She listened to them.  Izumi was leading them away but she stopped noticing ray.  There was a brief explanation of what had happened and roy’s eyes but ray didn’t stay.  She was angry and confused.

When she got to father and saw the boys there was relief and confusion.  Seeing him broke something in her and she ended up saying she would have done it. She would have did it to save roy.  It was the moment she realized she would have broken any rule for him.  She realized she loved him.  She didn’t know when it happened or why but it had.  Ed noticed her and made her stop.

The fight waged on and ray got back to the surface to watch.  Ray continued to do as she could which was when she met Greed.  there was some flirting between them which caused Roy to scream at her but it didn’t matter.  Father took his stone and everything was left to Ed. There were cheers and praises as Ed fought.  It was incredible and then sad and then everything was over.  Al was gone and there was this feeling looming over them.  Ray crumpled over in a heap.  All her emotions coursed through her at once but the sound of relief came and she looked up to see Alphonse.  he looked sickly but he was there.

Ray scrambled over to the crowd.  Looking at her friends.  All had new wounds that should be treated.  Ray quickly sprang into action shouting orders out to get everyone help that they needed.  All got medical attention.  After Ray was stitched up, she was released the same night.

Even though she was able to go she didn’t.  Knowing that roy and everyone was still there she stayed.  She slept outside the colonel’s room.  The next day when she was up she couldn’t bring herself to face him or talk to him.  She lingered bringing him food or moving things for him so he could do things.  he never asked or noticed her with everyone else being in and out though Riza had noticed it but didn’t say a thing.

As time went on, the boys began to heal as did everyone else.  Roy was focused on work and fixing this mess while Grumman was promoted to Fuhrer.  It was a good thing.  Slowly things were getting back to normal.  Finally when Ray went to visit Roy, she was surprised to see Havoc there.  She was so elated she forgot all else.  She hugged him and when he got up she was absolutely the best thing in the world.  She was so happy.  She had barely noticed that Roy was looking at.

her attention turned to him and he smiled.  She lounged for him to hug him and he caugt her.  She knew his sight was back but she didn’t care.  She was relieved and happy.  She pulled back to look at him.  After a moment or two she gathered herself remembering they weren’t alone.  That feeling was back. All those feelings flooded her and she had to leave.

She eventually ran into Edward.  She finally said those words she had been dreading out loud.  She said she loved Roy and Ed just laughed saying that everyone knew but her.  She was frustrated but she pushed that aside.  She knew she couldn’t work for him with this lingering over her.  She had to lock it all away and that was what she would do.

The next few months were complicated.  She continued to work closely with roy and be his friend outside of work.  They slipped back into things as if nothing had changed but for her they had.  She found herself lingering more. One night after a few drinks she finally got the courage she had never had.  She made a move on roy.  One kiss lead to her in his bed.  She knew it was wrong, it was risky.  She told him they could stop but they didn’t.  The next morning Ray left pretending nothing had happened.

That one night seemed to say enough.  She could move forward.  As much as she loved him, he had goals and aspirations.  He had no room for love or any of it.  She just needed to focus on helping him however she could.  While she was ready to give up her fantasy with him, his was just beginning.  Waking up alone hurt and it had seemed to trigger something in him.  he had realized his feelings for ray but perhaps it was too late.

Following that, Ray continued to work for him and they enjoyed plenty of nights together.  It was like they were dating without anything.  Both had learned to live with it but when Ray decided to have a date, Roy knew he couldn’t wait any longer.  He set out on a plan to stop this.  He began to talk with Ray about if she really belonged in the military and how she could help even in other ways.

his words resonated with her.  Eventually she decided to resign from her rank with the idea of being his campaign manager outside in the civilian world.  She thought about radio and slogans and various other ideas to make him seen as the man he was.  When her paperwork finally came through, Roy asked to take her out to celebrate.  while they were out things got a bit intense and once again they ended up in his bed but this time ray stopped it.  She didn’t know what to expect but it wasn’t that.  She left in a rush.

Following that, Roy had set out in a series of attempts to ask her out.  Things never quiet worked out but ray enjoyed seeing the romantic side of him.  Eventually they began to court one another.  it was new and exciting and wonderful.  There had some thoughts about moving in together and children.  They even tried to get pregnant but it didn’t work.  To mask his disappointment, Roy said it was for the best and it was best not to have that on him with his future at stake.

Ray believed that he didn’t want children after that.  So when she learned she was pregnant she was genuinely afraid to tell him.  She held back at first but one day when Roy came home she was laying on the tile floor feeling sick to her stomach roy was confused.  he tried to get her up and find out what was wrong and she explained that it was morning sickness and it was normal.  that was the way he found out and he was elated.

The next few months were full of ups and downs.  Ray would visit roy every day and soon rumors began to spread.  her being unwed and pregnant by the future leader of their country was not acceptable.  Not to mention she was big and everyone always commented on it.  She would cry over it all.  

Roy began to insist they get married right away, not out of love but because other people would see it as wrong.  She continued to refuse over and over but one night when she showed up to the office Roy was waiting, he had decorated the steps with candles and various other things for an intimate ceremony.  Their friends were they and dressed up.  Ray couldn’t resist and agreed to marry him.  Gracia, took Rachael and got her dressed then returned to hold a small wedding for the them. They were officially married and things were looking up.

Not too long after the wedding, Ray went into labor.  To everyone’s surprise, they had been blessed with twins.  Katherine and Kamille Mustang.  It was the best moment in their life.  it was incredible. It was the beginning of their family and the start of Mustang’s raise to the top.

over the next couple years Roy worked hard rebuilding Ishval as well as Central and soon he was named Fuhrer.  The twins were only three when that happened and soon Ray found herself expecting another child.  This time they were blessed with a boy whom they named Maes to honor the man who got them together and gave roy hope.

“Y’know you are a terrible boyfriend when you need to ask things like that.”  She sighed at him.  he was hopeless but she still loved him.  “Do I need a reason to do this?  Cause i think the best reason is the simplest one.  Because i love you.”

@itcolonelfamilyman continued from here.

A soft huff came from the redhead.  “Like he has room ta talk.  If it weren’t for Hawkeye he would never get his stuff done...  Unlike him, I always finish my work.  I was done two hours ago.  I don’t listen to authority well but I do my job well.”  She grabbed his arm giving him a smile.  “I’ll even pay for our drinks.” Which was saying something since she hardly ever spent her own money.

“I did my work but I will make Mustang sweat a lil.  I take it as a challenge to see how frustrated I can make him.  Some times I flirt but his ego makes it impossible to get him flustered.”

Roy gave Ray flowers!

Rachael had no real expectations when it came to Valentine’s Day, especially considering who wanted as her Valentine.  Roy pretended to be very suave but he was a mess most of the time.  balance was not his friend and he had married his work. 

She saw Roy with flowers she instantly assumed it was like the last time, however this time he was giving them to her.  A blush quickly rose on her cheeks.  “Roy... you finally got me flowers!”  There wasn’t much else to say.  She was just very glad to have them.  “I have somethin’ for you as well.”  it wasn’t nearly this lavish though.  “Close your eyes!”  

Once his eyes were closed she leaned over and kissed him deeply.

Some headcanons for my fma

Ray never wears her uniform correctly.  She likes to unbutton it or wear pops of color like brooches, flowers or ect on her jacket.  She will also some times just to mess with roy wear a miniskirt because of his jokes about it.

When Al is just armor it doesn’t change a thing for ray.  She still hugs him, kisses his cheek and such just like she would Ed or Roy.

Talking with Havoc and flirting with him is one of her favorite pastimes.

Ray really likes Greed.  Going as far as to flirt with him even in the midst of battle though he is in Ling’s body so she says she has to wait a few years.

Aside from her small rent payment, ray doesn’t spend much money at all really.  She still uses her charm to get people to buy her food and such.

The rare times she actually spends her money is buying coffee for Mustang and the rest of the guys.

And on even rarer occasions she will buy lunch for Roy only.

After work ray enjoys going out to drink with the guys around the office.

Ray often will barge into Roy’s office without knocking never taking much consideration to what he is doing.  

Ray loves seeing pictures of Elicia and is always willing to babysit her.

When Roy’s team is disbanded, Ray remains at Central but no longer under Mustang’s command which leads to some problems since she doesn’t really like taking orders from anyone who isn’t Roy.

Ray has her transmutation circle tattooed on the inner part of her wrist.

No matter how old Al and Ed get, ray will always refer to them as pipsqueaks cause they are younger even though both surpass her in height.
