Hi, I've thought about doing something different so please r&r if you like it :) I don't own FMA...
Prediction of Love
For any writer, as you probably well know, there are times in life where you just can't write and others where you can't help but stop. Sometimes writers block goes away on its own, other times it sticks like glue to you. It's no good; you have to escape from it. Escapism from the fictional world requires you to look at the real world for a change and sometimes you can find something worthwhile there. Sometimes it's a book, sometimes is food or sometimes it's a person you can't help but notice. Then you're back again, thinking back to that old fairytale.
For Emily Ross there were some things in life she just couldn't get. For one there was maths. She couldn't do it for toffee. Even at the simplest algebra she would fail. The other thing was love. Sure she could dream and write about love but there was no way she could ever experience it for herself. For a writer like her that was horrible. It was the greatest torture a person could put themselves through, to write about something so desperately but not have it themselves. It didn't get her down most of the time, much like other single teens, but every now and again there was a twang of pain in her heart.
It didn't bother her like it would bother like other girls because in truth she was in love with someone, however that someone was destined to be with another. Even though she knew this and supported it fully, Emily couldn't help but love this guy. Too bad she'd never meet him. She was in love with Roy Mustang, a fictional character she wrote about so many times. She knew ever move he was going to make and everything he was going to say in perfect character. She knew him like others did.
Like I said, he was destined for some one else, Riza Hawkeye, but when did facts ever change love in a teen girls' eyes? Emily loved Roy more than anything but knew he loved Riza more than anything else even though it was never said. It was a gut feeling she always had.
For Alistar Burns there was also a hole in his heart where nothing he wrote could fill it. He was also in a similar situation as Emily, where he loved someone so much but knew they would never be his. He loved Riza Hawkeye. He loved her so much that he would give her anything she wanted. He knew, like many others that all she wanted was Roy Mustang even though she never asked. So he wrote for her, stories of Roy's undying love for her so she would be happy.
It is weird that across the world there will be two people just waiting to meet each other out of pure chance even if they live miles apart or in different countries. Emily and Alistar were exactly like this. They were begging on the off chance they would ever meet, but this is no fairy tale because this is the real world. In the real world fairy tales belong on paper…but in the fictional world who knows where they belong?
