#royedweek

It's the 19th century, and Ed owns a family-run cargo ship with Al and Winry. Roy's a siren who ventures closer to shore than most- both to collect treasure and because he finds amusement in keeping the "myth" of his people alive by being spotted by drunkards during the witching hour.

He's been watching the loud group of blondes for some time, since their ship loads at the harbor nearby- and because one of them is especially enchanting.

A late night accident causes Ed to fall overboard. He sinks fast, metal limbs dragging him down. Roy had been keeping tentative pace with the ship, and acts fast when Ed goes under.

Royed Week Day 3: Prophet 

Summary: It’s strange how instincts work. One second you’re feeling all right, the other you're filled with an overwhelming dread. One second you hear a booming noise of a wall being busted, but you turn around, because you thought you heard a slightly quieter noise of a body falling behind you.

For Royed week, day 4: Injury

A. Yes, another one! B. Yes, it’s two weeks, but we’re calling it a “week” for simplicity! C. Yes, the prompts are out REALLY early! (It’s so that we can all procrastinate for two and a half solid months in honor of Roy. ♥)
