Okayokay, You Have Raised Such An Important Point And I Thank You For That

okayokay, you have raised such an important point and i thank you for that 😌

I came up with new things for this fic and i might have figured out Riza a little?? But here is what i have

My idea had Ed and Al finding Roy alone by themselves without the team’s help, my very original idea ( that i came up with last June) had the boys traveling when the colonel got kidnapped, and when they got back they were like, “ where is our commander father??” the team was like, “ meh boss we don't know,” so Ed and Al were like that is fishy, so they look around and after few month or weeks they find Roy And keep him in their apartment ( notice, apartment and not dorm, so finding Roy Was kept a secret so no on would know that they have him)

When i stumbled across this note couple of nights ago, i had more time thinking it over and i posted my idea yesterday and gotten more ideas for it.

So here is what i have so far

Roy has Riza as his bodyguard ( everyone on his team is his guard in a way if you think about it) + Roy is a very strong fighter if he needed to be, ( he is his team’s guard btw. He protects them.) so it got me thinking, who was strong enough to kidnap the strong feared Roy Mustang?

Someone who knew how he thinks and acts. someone who knew his weaknesses, someone who saw him daily and knew him well. Who other than his men themselves??

BEAR WITH ME THESE ARE ALL JUST HALF COOKED IDEAS.

Riza would never betray him like that, and i know she would have ran herself to the ground trying to find him, so i just kept brainstorming how to keep the original idea of Ed and Al rescuing Roy while not having Riza with them. And it got me down to these points.

Hawkeye could be undercover and under radar and didn't know Roy was even kidnapped until she went back to central and knew and got mad with the team and somehow the boys let her knew about Roy’s whereabouts

Riza never joined the military and married Roy but died so Roy has that dead wife trauma. Which can add more whump to the story but idk

My least favorite one, but what if Riza is the one who took him down and delivered him to his captures? Not that she wanted but maybe they held some sort of blackmail over her? Maybe get grandpa, the Elrics or maybe she is in a relationship with Roy so that could have ended badly?

i am still not sure what i should do with Riza, since i just know she loves Roy sm, and it just doesn't make sense for her to hurt him at all.

The newer idea for this plot also has the Elrics taking Roy back to Resembool to thier granny since she is a doctor/ has a medical knowledge, and she might be able to help them care for Roy the first few weeks. Maybe they just stay there as long as Roy needs until he is ready to go back to public and face the military and expose them? .

I am just thinking some sort of family drama between Roy And the team since they are his found family, and how they betrayed him and stuff, and have Ed and Al being protective of Roy And attacking the men. ( this is not based on actual life experience of course not! Haha.. Hah… ha)

There is of course lots of truma i want to give Roy 😈 his childhood, teenhood, the war and kidnapping and Woah so many so many. Maybe involve his mother? Aka chris mustang and i know she is his aunt butttttt i love making her his mother or adopted mother, maybe she could be there too??

Also if we went with Riza being under cover and not knowing her beloved man was hurt she could probably go to resembool later on and just help Ed and Al taking care of Roy?

This is kinda what i have so far! Later on ( aka right before i sleep ) i am sure i will get more ideas hehe. Roy Mustang is one of my favorite characters to whump Oh my god

Gonna be real, but i cannot stop thinking about recovery fics and how beautiful they are. They are amazing, the way we see the character gets better always just makes me feel so inspired, the way that they learn to get over- or get around- the thing that hurt them. The way that they learn to be alive and living. How to love themselves and embrace what happened to them.

As much as i love these types of fics, i only wrote like, two maybe? With this idea (I love and have written torture more than recovery) . And it got me thinking… why not write a whole recovery fic?

It is no secret that i love parental Roy and Riza to the Elrics, and how they take him after he was being hurt and help him recover and be better and feel better.

BUT

But.

I am proposing another idea. Same child parent dynamic. Roy And the Elrics. Here is what i am thinking:

Evil Millirty hating how good and you Mustang is and they know he is a threat + them setting up to kidnap him by evil gang or something + team Mustang for some reason not being that loyal in finding him + Elrics stop their red stone research and to find their missing dad CO+ THEM SAVING THIER ADULT + FAMILY DRAMA AND PROTECTIVE SONS™️= my new fic idea

Which has traumatized Roy who is trying his best not being so traumatized but in the middle of it all, the Elrics discover How badly hurt thier adult is!

WHO IS WITH ME!!?

GIRLIE, WHAT IF I TOLD YOU ED MIGHT HAVE KILLES ONE PERSON IN THE PROCESS??

Maybe they entered on a torturing session when they rescued their dad and Ed and Al stood frozen- think like, when they saw Tucker after what he did to Nina? How Ed just jumped at him and might have almost killed him?? Yes, i thinking he might have killed that one person even if he was't the one in charge. I think Ed might have a crisis so Mama Riza ™️ helps him cope through that part? Because she was also young when she took her first life, ( aka 19ish ( i headcanon younger.)) and Ed is like 15-16 so she helps him, maybe Roy does too?? Since he was also young when he was deployed to Ishval ( i headcanon him 17 or 18 when he was sent there.)

But like, you are so right, Riza will be like one night, “ alright boys, i will be back by dawn, If you need anything, call Pinako.”

Ed, Al, Roy, “ ??? Mhm okay.”

Riza at 1 am, *fires her sniper at a few generals.* “ Oops. My hand slipped.” But seriously talking, i don't think Ed or Al would have minded Riza murdering these people. Maybe they take them to court because they have kidnapped a state alchemist and hurt an officer and from what i know that is illegal and should be punished, so maybe she kills them after court because it wasn't ruled out fairly? Hmm

ALSO I AM THIS 🤏🏻 CLOSE TO MAKING HIS MEN TRAITORS BECAUSE I LOVE THAT TROPE SM, IT HAS SO MUCH ANGST I WOULD SCREAM

but also like. His men are wholesome so i feel bad, but imagine the guilt they have? I truly liked your idea so so so much, and maybe they feel guilty after Riza comes?

Like they deliver Roy To his “ mission.” aka his kidnapping, they don't really think about it, but when Riza comes back from her mission and asks them what they were thinking, they feel this guilt and they try to fix things but 3 hot-headed blonds are very protective of their black haired man ( i know like, the 03 has Al as a brown haired person but god i love him as a blondie.) +Winry is there with her wrench ( beacue why mess with her uncle/ future father in law??) and Pinko is pissed “ don't come at my patient!”

Somehow the team, knows about the Mustang-Hawkeye-Elric family (or as i like to nickname them the Pegasus family.) and they come in visits and FOUND FAMILY DRAMA. I also want Roy To yell his guts out especially to his ma ( if we ever include her because i think that she is very interesting and she could be a good mother or bad mother!) i am just feeling the feels right now 😭

ALSO, i am just thinking about how evil the military was for Roy while he was a captive for like, maybe few weeks/ a couple of months? They could have absolutely destroyed him oh my god.

I am just imagining that first time Roy sees Riza and they don't talk, right, Because they are that close, only eyes are talking. So it is in Roy’s bedroom ( ahem Roy and the boys’ bedroom.) and she just sits on his bed and looks him in the eyes, and cups his cheeks and he breaks down ugly sobbing

This shouldn't be this fun but i am having so much fun. Also i am playing with the idea that Roy has some sort of memory loss the first few days after the rescue until he sees something in the Rockbell’s house that triggers him and he remembers?

Gonna be real, but i cannot stop thinking about recovery fics and how beautiful they are. They are amazing, the way we see the character gets better always just makes me feel so inspired, the way that they learn to get over- or get around- the thing that hurt them. The way that they learn to be alive and living. How to love themselves and embrace what happened to them.
