--- Shackles ---

All the blood shed and lives lost during the wars that he was part of slowly began form an unbreakable chain around Roy Mustang and caused him to never forget and to always regret his actions. Each link represented a sin that he committed or assisted in committing. After the many years of attempted ignorance to the chain, a lock had formed, preventing any kind of healing. However, fortunately a key was formed in the shape of a blonde haired lieutenant. And only she can unlock him and free him from the shackles that hold him to the painful past.

A/N - How in the hell can I do a theme titled 'Shackles' and not change my rating? Simple, think on it for like months and months. I have literally been thinking about this one since day one of typing Royai drabbles. When I scanned the list over the first day, this one caught my attention because I wanted to make the rating as low as possible so all could enjoy. Well... I hope you enjoyed it and understood it.

Also, I hate full upper body sunburns! They hurt and make sleeping a hard task to accomplish. But thankfully, the back and shoulders are healing nicely, it's the center of my chest that isn't. And I'm a belly sleeper! I want the pain to go away, the redness is fine (for now) It's the pain that kills. Damn Water Country for it's water of fun and it's high priced sun block. Damn New England for it's ability to have crappie weather at my house but sunny weather at all the theme parks! Damn it all!
