A/n: Sorry, I was too lazy to post. I'll probably post #15 tommorow in celebration of the 6th Harry Potter book coming out (though I won't get it until Sunday or Monday sobs). :)
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, you all get cookies:)
Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, use that something to support their own existence.

#14 Fortify
Fortify: to strengthen, to erect defenses, to add alchohal to.
Roy Mustang wasn't a strong man in his own eyes, he needed help, he needed another person there to support him. Otherwise, he would fall to earth and become buried in his own failure.
She gave him that strength, that support. In his times of need she was there to protect him. She was what he needed to keep from falling, to keep standing tall.
She was his wall that he could lean on. She, whowas so different from himself.
She kept him going, kept him fighting kept him climbing.
And when things got too rough, even for her, he could always count on her to slip a little alchohal into his drink.
