Never Thought We'd Ever Have To Go Without (i)

never thought we'd ever have to go without (i)

summary: 

Their breakup was amicable. They were both going in two different directions with their lives and where Roy was going - the military and the numerous off the grid sites for weeks or sometimes months on end – he wouldn’t ask her to wait for him. She deserved to live her own life, not wait around for him and his ambitions.

When a tragedy befalls their child, Roy and Riza are left devastated. They come together to work through it while waiting for her to wake from her injuries

snippet:

Hey Dad, I'm on the plane. I know you won’t get this for a while, but I still wanted to send you a message. Hope all is going well with you. Mum was freaking out at the airport. She was worried I’d forgotten something again, but she literally emptied and repacked my bag for me so many times, so there’s no way that would happen. I think she’s scared about me going off by myself. Could you give her a call when you get out? I don’t want her to feel alone while I’m gone, and I know she’ll love hearing from you. I’ll speak to you soon. I love you.

“Xing royalty at three o’clock,” Riza murmured, pretending to brush a crumb off Mustang’s lapel. “They look about as happy as we do.” “So, incandescent?” Mustang whispered. “Naturally.”

Happy FMA Day AAAND Royai Big Bang drop day!!!

This is my illustration for @beware-thegemini's fic 'Amestrian Prometheus' which dropped today for @royaibigbang! It's an intense, emotional AU combining FMA and the story of Oppenheimer. The themes of the destructive powers of alchemy and nuclear fission are such a natural marriage.

I had a super fun time with this one! I wanted to emulate the style of a courtroom sketch, textured and colorful, based off the courtroom scenes. What's going on? I guess you'll have to read the fic to find out! ;p

"World Leader Pretend"

Shortly after the war in Ishval, the soldiers at Eastern Command participate in their annual training against Briggs. A wayward Roy wanders over to Riza's station, and conversations about their shared past ensue—although much is left unsaid, as always.

I made the illustration for this beautiful fic by Richard @koussevitzky ✨ Read it here!

My thought about the fic: (just in case might contains spoiler)

When I read this fic, I can imagine the beautiful scene Roy and Riza had when they were talking. The scenery, the warm ambience, the intense yet peaceful interaction, it's written very beautifully 😭💛💙 I can feel the conflict in their heads, how they feel towards each other, what they really WANT to do...❤️‍🩹

I could create this art because I can feel it—them. The breeze, the atmosphere, as if I can see them right in front of my eyes and watching them having interactions 🥹

Once again, thank you Richard for writing it beautifully ✨

Quite a journey
