Tolerance: Is it truly the last piece of the puzzle that creates humanity, what it means to be human? Or our we doomed to a world, a society, that has declared itself judge, jury, and executioner. Morality is subjective, but can love ever be wrong, even in the strangest fashion?


She had been crying for an hour in his arms. It seemed like this was how they ended each work day, her dark short hair being stroked by his hands. That bastard Harkuro offered to promote her if she slept with him. He claimed that was the only way some freak like her would climb up the ranks now. It had been months since the accident that had altered both of their lives and bodies drastically. She blamed it on herself, she always did. She was the commander, she should have known something wasn't right in that environment, now they were both paying for it.


"We have to move in now or will lose him!" Roy shouted at his command. They were on the trail of Shou Tucker on the advice of Edward Elric. They had found information of strange alchemic experiments being performed in the condemned laboratory five. Roy's command had arrived at the location planing out their battle strategy.

"I'm going in...alone." Roy said as he stood in front of his command. "While I'm taking care of Tucker, you will be assessing the damage and looking for Fullmetal." That idiot had to go run in to a serious situation recklessly. But, that was Ed stupid, reckless, and now in trouble.

Riza looked over to her commander with wide eyes. "Sir, I'm coming in with you. Havoc can lead the others on the tasks you have assigned." Over her dead corpse would her boss go in without her, she had to protect him. She put her hand on her gun and moved over to him.

"No way Hawkeye, I'm not letting you..." He was cut off.

"Sir permission to speak freely. I'm not letting you go in alone, it's dangerous and you might need back up." She said and Mustang just reluctantly nodded his head.

The two went into the lab and looked around. The place was cluttered with chains and cages and reeked of blood. Before they could take another step a monstrous creature stepped out from the shadows.

"You two shouldn't be here." The monster said in a whisper.

Roy felt his jaw drop, it was Tucker. He had heard from Ed that he had drastically altered his appearance but he couldn't believe to this magnitude. "Tucker, you are under arrest." He pulled on his gloves and stood in position. "Don't try to resist, you know I'm a trained alchemist." He didn't notice the large alchemic circle drawn over them.

Tucker smiled and laughed. "Well why don't we mix up a few things colonel." He moved to touch the circle as Riza pulled out her gun an aimed, but it was to late. A large beam of light came out and flashed through the night. Riza put her hand on top of Roy's

"It will be alright sir." She always was so much stronger than her was.

Hours later, Roy felt his eyes twitch open with faces staring down at him. The same event was simultaneously happening with Riza. That's when it was discovered, that bastard had switched their genders in some sick game. Roy Mustang was now a woman and Riza Hawkeye was now a man, perfect transformations as the doctors concluded.


Everybody thought that the two would just break down after the incident. But, strange things help bring people together. The two helped each other through the pain and the awkwardness of their new bodies. Roy smiled when Hawkeye had got her flowers after an incident with one of her ex- girlfriends making some cruel jokes. Riza smiled when Roy had bought him a new rifle after he had broke his last one in a fit of rage in a weaker moment. Perhaps that's how their strange relationship began to blossom to what it is now, months later, some strange form of love. The two were on the couch together, Black Hayate was sitting at Hawkeye's feet as he continued comforting the brunette. Of course with new genders had to come with some form of new identity. Riza had decided to go by Rick and Roy had decided to go by Royko in public. But, to each other they would always just be Roy and Riza.

"Roy, calm down, he's just a prick, No one else thinks that of you." His long blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail and his strong arms were incircling her.

Roy looked up at him with her face growing red in anger. "That's not true and you know it Riza! Everyone used to know me as Roy Mustang the womanizer and now I'm Royko Mustang the tart!" She was so sick of men hitting on her. She was sick of woman staring daggers into her back for a body she didn't even ask for. Her breasts were covered up with one of her old shirts that seemed to pool around her, thanks to her smaller frame. "How will I ever be Führer now! I'm just glad Hughes isn't alive to see this fucked up situation."

"Roy stop being stupid. You're not a tart, you're still Roy Mustang and you're still going to be Fuhrer." He smiled and caressed her cheeks. "Now, you're just going to be the prettiest Fuhrer in history." Lately he was trying to show more of his true self to her. He wasn't just an up tight military stickler with a gun fetish. He had always loved Roy Mustang now he just got to show of his possessive and protective side...more. Love is a very crazy thing. He decided to lighten the mood a little. "Are you on your menstrual cycle?" Riza laughed as he looked over to the pissy flame alchemist.

"No!" Roy yelled, she really didn't like talking about that fixture to her new body. "Every time I'm mad I'm not having my...thing Hawkeye!" Roy would have continued if Black Hayate wouldn't have jumped up on her lap and licked her face. "It's not fair, why are you handling this so much better than I am."

Riza rubbed his forehead and looked at her. "Because, I'm just being me, regardless of gender..." He would have continued but his phone was ringing. "Hello."
