A/N :
So I wanted to return to FMA after a long stint working on other fanfic genres... Most notably Cyborg 009 and Inspector Gadget. Nevertheless FMA is by far my favorite realm for writing in. This time I've gone way out there with an AU in our world. Reality- which means no Alchemy, Homunculi, or Automail.
This is a Royai fic. It starts out with Riza but it will quickly become Roy-Centric... For obvious reasons.
Full Summary:
AU in the United States Present Day.
Riza Hawkeye is an executive on a business trip who ends up stranded on a deserted road when her rental car breaks down. When the AAA guy tries to attack her a stranger in a tuxedo rescues her. Fascinated by his gentlemanly ways she lets him buy her coffee before taking her to her hotel. His name: Roy Mustang. He's a rich obviously eccentric CIA member who hides a troubling secret: He's been diagnosed with a rare disease that makes his own blood extremely toxic. And worst of all his doctor estimates he only has about five years left to live. Can he obtain his goal of at least making Riza his? Even if it's only for a few short years? And what happens when he reveals his illness to her? Is there any chance they'll have a future?
A list of media that helped inspire this story:
Sweet November-Film starring Keanu Reeves (It will make you cry.)
Iris-Song by the GooGoo Dolls
Come to Me-another song by the Goo Goo Dolls
Love Don't Die-Song by The Fray
Hero-Song by Enrigue Iglesias
Sundays at Tiffanys-Book by James Patterson (Not sure how this works but as I write this fic I keep getting scenes from it stuck in my head...)
Fullmetal Alchemist of course!
Currently looking for a beta to read this... I would appreciate someone not too particular about vernacular or writing style choices.
