    Summary

    It felt humbling to realize that he’d gotten too comfortable with the idea of spending almost every night at Roy’s, talking, debating, cooking together—it was a domestic life they cultivated, and one Ed took for granted all too soon. Roy would go back to Ishval whether Ed was ready or not.

    He warned his students against that often. If something can be had, it must also have the potential to be sacrificed, he told them with a thickness in his throat. If you cannot live without it, that’s what will be taken from you first.

    That is equivalent exchange at its core.

    Ed is a professor and Roy is a hero; they try to make it work.

    Summary

    RoyEd Week 2025, day 4: Xerxian AU (also technically Royalty AU from day 3)

    Roy and his team are delegates in Xerxes, a place steeped in myth and rumour. The most prevalent of those rumours being that the King's twin sons are strictly off limits. Even to be caught alone with one of them is enough to guarantee probably having to marry them to preserve their purity and honour. So, naturally, Roy's never wanted to tap anyone more than he wants to tap Prince Edward.

    Things don't go exactly as he planned.

    Summary

    Roy has started to enjoy his time with Edward Elric. He'd enjoy it more if he was dry, mind, but you can't win them all.
