Accretion

Accretion

By @raisingmybanner

Summary:

Riza Hawkeye has worked as Security Director for private art authenticator Roy Mustang for eight years with little trouble. However, recently Mustang has taken on riskier and higher-stakes jobs, putting himself and his team in danger of exposure and harm. The objective of a new undercover job – authenticating an elusive ink drawing while undercover on a three-week island retreat – hits too close to home for Riza. Secrets carefully kept threaten to be brought to light, exacerbated by the closeness required while posing as a young engaged couple.

Hold on, they have to pose as an… engaged couple? For three weeks?!

Happy Royai Big Bang day!

Here is part of my contribution to this @royaibigbang ! I got to work with such lovey people and an amazingly talented writer for this big bang! This story is so beautifully written and enthralling you will be hanging on every chapter! Go check out this fic and all of the other wonderful stories and art created for this event for this event!

My previous October 3rd posts: 1 | 2 | 3

Happy October 3rd! This time I want to post something from way in the past, a photo from Shounen Gangan, the day the final chapter leaked on June 7, 2010.

Particularly Roy because that’s what everyone wants to see. Some people may think Roy had a moustache in the first editions of Chapter 108, but thankfully he’s been moustache-free this whole time :)

ロイ大将とホークアイ

General Roy and Hawkeye

The animators probably got a very early draft or something, since it also in the storyboard. Before the anime got one extra episode, it was meant to end on June 27, compared to the manga chapter's street date of June 11.

Oh also, I wonder if May's pose in the final photo is meant to be reminiscent of Al's new philosophy about Equivalent Exchange that he mentions earlier in the chapter.

(the leaker did not post this page, so I have to use a real screenshot)

(He calls her Riza when they're alone 🫢)

this is actually so much more fucked than just "he knows what a charred corpse smells like" or whatever. why didn't they put this in the anime!!!

“She remembered the blood staining the white of the sand a dark, ugly red. She could see it when she closed her eyes.” -Chapter 4, Overcome (

Happy October 3rd and happy Royaibigbang2024!

I worked on this piece for chapter 3 of @quiet-nocturne ‘s fic Overcome, which you can all read on ao3!!

So many amazing artists and writers worked on this event, check out @royaibigbang page which will be sharing them all!

Under the cut I have the link to the fic and some lines i drew inspiration from for the piece.

Lines that gave me inspiration for the depictions in the scene!

For the depictions in the mirror:

Riza looked down, and she was wearing Amestris blue, with her desert cloak over it, and a sniper rifle slung over shoulder.

…red eyes.

And there was such hatred in them.

Suddenly, Riza’s sniper rifle was in her hand, propped up and ready. She could still see the woman’s face in the scope.

As Riza pressed the trigger, the woman phased out, suddenly replaced by Mustang. His face showed shock, horror, fear -

For the smoke in the lungs:

Riza woke up with a gasp, hand on her chest. Her heart thumped rapidly against her hand. She took in huge gulps of air, trying to grasp ahold of herself, but it never seemed to be enough.

She could feel the sickly press of panic pushing forcefully against her chest, out of control and rapidly building, wanting to consume her whole.

General setting and physical action:

When her face felt numb, she pulled back and turned the tap off, drying the water off with her t-shirt.

Breathing heavily, she stared at her reflection in the mirror for several long moments, gripping the porcelain sink with white knuckles.
