Hey everyone! I decided to start some Hoenheim/Trisha stuff. Eventually (hopefully) I'll be writing a full-length fic about their relationship, but that's difficult at the moment. Besides me being crazy busy, a Hoenheim/Trisha fic is hard because... how should I put this? It would be easy to make it really creepy without trying to, because Hoenheim is so old compared to Trisha. But someday this will happen! In the meantime, here's the first of several letters I'm going to write from Trisha to Hoenheim. I probably won't update super regularly... just when I have the time and inspiration for one. I was thinking these letters probably never got sent to Hoenheim (Trisha probably had no way of knowing where he was at any time) but I don't think that would have stopped her from writing them. So here it is. Enjoy!


Dearest Hoenheim,

I hope right now you are somewhere safe and warm. I know how you can be, so please take care of yourself. For me.

Edward still asks about you every day. Alphonse still goes and sits outside your office door, waiting for you to come out. Our precious little boys still love you so much. Every time they tell me they're going to play on 'Daddy's swing' I can't help but smile. I see you in their eyes, which keeps me from missing you so much.

But I do still miss you, Hoenheim. I miss your voice and your rare smiles and the way you used to hold me at night. The bed seems so empty without you in it. Most nights I let the boys join me. I think it helps them as much as it helps me.

It's so hard to go on without you, but we manage it. We're all right, Hoenheim. There are still so many tears, so many questions, but we're all right. Ed and Al are old enough to remember you. They'll be able to recognize your face when you come back. We're all waiting for that day.

I know I could be years; I might be old and gray before I see your face again, but I'm waiting, Hoenheim. I love you too much to do otherwise.

Until then, I'll try and have your patience. I'll watch our boys grow up and smile for the time we had together, however short it was. But I'll still miss you dearly, Hoenheim.

Love Always,

Trisha
