royai big bang + anthology 2024

AO3 Collection | Tumblr Tag | eBook Download (pdf)

The day is finally here!! Happy Royai Big Bang Day!!

What is a big bang? A big bang is a fan-led event in which writers and artists collaborate together to create long-form content. Each writer gets a selection of artists drawing for their story, and a beta-reader if they choose. This event gives creatives a chance to bring their ideas to life in the form of creative teams.

Over the last 8 or so months our teams have been working so hard together to create a big BANG of royai fics and art, and today's the day they finally get to show it off!

We've got over 550k words of fanfic in store for you from our writers, all lovingly looked over and edited by our wonderful beta team! And around 40 pieces of art to share from our artists, each piece tied into a specific fic!

A big bang indeed!

The AO3 collection is now live here, so please check it out!

We also have a stunning eBook for the event, a complete collection of everything which was created, which can be viewed and downloaded here from dropbox

Each contributor's posts will be reblogged here, under the tag #royai big bang 2024

And here's the second batch of @royaibigbang Big Bang pictures for @tsaritsa Stardew Valley Royai AU! I just adored being able to draw farmer Riza.

And here's the second batch of @royaibigbang Big Bang pictures for @tsaritsa Stardew Valley Royai AU! I just adored being able to draw farmer Riza.

Riza and her team are preparing to rebuild Ishval. As she grapples with wher strained relationship with Mustang, she’s simultaneously struggling to ignore her impossible feelings for him, and her past traumatic memories coming back to haunt her. Riza is finding the return to Ishval even more challenging than she had expected.

A post-canon, Royai slowburn, Riza-centric character study for the Royai Big Bang 2024. COMPLETE, and posted in its entirety on October 3rd. :)

HELLOOO lovely souls, Bringing you today some of my favorite arts I ever did for @quiet-nocturne fic overcome for the @royaibigbang!! 🩷🩷🩷 I had so much fun reading Nell’s fic, and such a hard time choosing which scenes to draw 😫 I ended up choosing these, a diner scene ( which just sounds so domestic and I feel in love with it ) the I wanted to f*** so bad scene ( was because I really wanted to highlight the fun times in the fic, but I am not that daring, so this just felt so in my comfort zone while still delivering that aspect! ) the last one, which probably is my favorite, “ I thought I lost you.” art which I think speaks for itself ✋🏻

Get your butt 🫵🏻🫵🏻 and go read the fic right now, promise you wouldn't regret it, I have the ao3 linked above and you can check it in our Ebook

Nell is one of my favorite authors, she is supportive, and I just can't express how much sweet she is, go and leave comments under her fic! The book is also on storygraph, so you can go and leave reviews there 🩷

Riza Hawkeye's life changes completely when Roy Mustang draws her name for the 40th Hunger Games, sealing both of their fates and binding one to the other. Will they be able to succeed and reach their ambitions, or will the Capitol prove a too dangerous opponent for the likes of them?

HI FRIENDS! Yesterday, was the drop of our @royaibigbang event!! This post features three art pieces I made for @limetameta 🩷 their fic was so much fun to read ( even when I had zero knowledge in the Hunger Games hehe)

You can read their fic Gnawing Meat off the bone here on Ao3 or check it out in the EBOOK ( where art and fics are combined!!)

My favorite piece should be Riza covered in blood 🦅 I am really proud of how it turned out!

These are two other sketches I originally planned ( that I am okay with showing since they aren't messy haha )

For those of you who love tracking reading like me, the Royai Big Bang 2024 epub is available here on the storygraph app!

I've also started a buddy read, for silly little comments to open up discussions along the way :)c DM me if you're interested!

Happy FMA Day AND Royai Big Bang drop day!!!

This is my piece for @raisingmybanner's fic 'Accretion' for @royaibigbang! An AU where Roy, an art authenticator, must pose undercover as an engaged couple with Riza, his security detail, to determine the authenticity of an elusive piece that has surfaced.

Happy Royai Big Bang posting day!!!!! @royaibigbang

Here is my art for the first chapter of @beware-thegemini fic! This fic also features art by @rizaposting @Dusweet @olvitier @lewdybooty

Betad by @ghost-biird

Accretion

By @raisingmybanner

Summary:

Riza Hawkeye has worked as Security Director for private art authenticator Roy Mustang for eight years with little trouble. However, recently Mustang has taken on riskier and higher-stakes jobs, putting himself and his team in danger of exposure and harm. The objective of a new undercover job – authenticating an elusive ink drawing while undercover on a three-week island retreat – hits too close to home for Riza. Secrets carefully kept threaten to be brought to light, exacerbated by the closeness required while posing as a young engaged couple.

Hold on, they have to pose as an… engaged couple? For three weeks?!

.

Happy Royai Big Bang day!

Happy FMA Day AAAND Royai Big Bang drop day!!!

This is my illustration for @beware-thegemini's fic 'Amestrian Prometheus' which dropped today for @royaibigbang! It's an intense, emotional AU combining FMA and the story of Oppenheimer. The themes of the destructive powers of alchemy and nuclear fission are such a natural marriage.

Summary:

accretion [ə-ˈkrē-shən] noun: An accidental deposit of “foreign” material that was not part of the painting process, f. ex. dried liquid residue, flyspecks, etc. (from Stella Art Conservation, LLC) Riza Hawkeye has worked as Security Director for private art authenticator Roy Mustang for eight years with little trouble. However, recently Mustang has taken on riskier and higher-stakes jobs, putting himself and his team in danger of exposure and harm. The objective of a new undercover job – authenticating an elusive ink drawing while undercover on a three-week island retreat – hits too close to home for Riza. Secrets carefully kept threaten to be brought to light, exacerbated by the closeness required while posing as a young engaged couple. Hold on, they have to pose as an… engaged couple? For three weeks?!

Vibes: Modern day Amestris AU, big ol' romcom, casual intimacy, what if instead of military alchemy it's dubiously legal art nerdery, everything BUT a heist, idiots to lovers, fake dating, FEELINGS, emotional support Hayate

The story includes gorgeous illustrations done by some extremely talented artists who have been working tirelessly for months. Go give them some love! You'll find pieces from @justanotherinterneruser, @chewytran, @areyousanta, and Crystal Capsids @rizaposting throughout Accretion, bringing it to life. You'll also find the work of @aldrendaux when you don't trip over sentences starting with the exact same word nearly as much as you would have otherwise ;-) If you need a kind beta with an eye for detail, you won't do better than Aldren.

Accretion is COMPLETE and posted in full on AO3!

“She remembered the blood staining the white of the sand a dark, ugly red. She could see it when she closed her eyes.” -Chapter 4, Overcome (

Happy October 3rd and happy Royaibigbang2024!

I worked on this piece for chapter 3 of @quiet-nocturne ‘s fic Overcome, which you can all read on ao3!!

So many amazing artists and writers worked on this event, check out @royaibigbang page which will be sharing them all!

Under the cut I have the link to the fic and some lines i drew inspiration from for the piece.

Shortly after the war in Ishval, the soldiers at Eastern Command participate in their annual training against Briggs. A wayward Roy wanders over to Riza's station, and conversations about their shared past ensue—although much is left unsaid, as always.

I made the illustration for this beautiful fic by Richard @koussevitzky ✨ Read it here!
