Theme: 7 - snow falling on corpses (52_Flavours)
Characters: Roy Mustang x Riza Hawkeye
Series: Fullmetal Alchemist
Rating: PG-13; for imagery
Notes: Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) is copyrighted by Hiromu Arakawa/Square Enix. This is a work of fanfiction for personal entertainment only. Both concrit and comments welcome and desired. Based off the manga!verse. I don't recall seeing any mention of Hughes' rank during Ishbal, so I'm going off the assumption he's a captain, or at least held that rank at some point during the war. If anyone can correct or verify this with canon, I'd appreciate it. Jossed.

Rating: R
Wordcount: 4453
Theme: "Understanding, it's misunderstood" written for IDAHO (International Day Against Homophobia) fandom challenge 2007. (celebrate_idaho)
Warning: End of series, maybe?
Disclaimer: Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) is copyrighted by Hiromu Arakawa/Studio BONES/Square Enix. This is a work of fanfiction for personal entertainment only. Gracia's mother is partially inspired by Carnivale's Rita Sue, only far less slutty and far more proper.
Author's Notes: I've been wanting to write this pairing for a while. I apologize if it happens to come across as a little stilted in parts, I was having some initial trouble with figuring out how to handle the challenge theme with what I wanted to write, and vice versa.
Teaser: She still missed him -- that would never truly go away. Part of her heart was buried with him, and would remain there. But little by little, the empty hole left behind stopped hurting. The loneliness faded. The sun came back.
