He dove underwater before she had the chance to reply, squeezing his eyes shut and waiting for his heart to calm itself. The hell was his problem? He never let his emotions get the best of him, but it wasn’t his fault Winry was just so… Winry.

He was used to always relying on his own abilities, hoping that at least he’d done enough to give Al the life he deserved. To hear that he’d actually had a positive influence on someone else was just… strange.

Surprisingly, he didn’t mind the feeling.

He opened his eyes to Winry in front of him, bubbles escaping her mouth as she attempted to giggle. She placed her hand in his and pulled him ahead, swimming back to the shore.

He followed.

Chantey by @wrongnote​, Chapter 6

bc mermaid AU’s are the best, and this fic is so sweet and wholesome, and i haven’t drawn/painted anything this complex in months (those scales man!!!) so here, take some fluffy edwin merfolk goodness 😊

[art tag] [buy me a coffee] [reblogs > likes]

have some detail shots in the original size under the cut bc i worked hard on these scales and they deserve to be appreciated dammit

2. What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)

Home by Marilynn Robinson, but I’m still waiting for it to arrive in the mail :’) 

Fanfiction wise, probably @by-nina ‘s Smoke Without Fire (amongst many others)? I’ve been looking forward to reading that ever since I saw the excerpt :> 

6. What’s the last thing you read that made you laugh?

Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, but also, something that @x-rainflame-x and I were working on together yesterday (reading the part she wrote sent me into a laughing fit) 😆 speaking of Rain, this one-shot she wrote as a companion piece to StP where Mustang gives “the talk” and makes a complete fool of himself still cracks me up every time. 

17. Describe a fic that is still in the ‘ideas’ stage.

shamelessly cliche but a high school au where Roy is a half-mad egomaniac and Riza is just 200% done with his drivel L O L. also Roy and Ed are tennis players just because I've been listening to the Prince of Tennis openings 🤣 (if anyone here has watched PoT before I’m just gonna put it out here and say that Roy gives me Atobe vibes and Ed is... Ryoma. yeah. mada mada dane, whatever HAHAHA) 

2. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

it's a current project that's just bare bones and starting out atm. it's a high school au that focusses on the havoc/hawkeye friendship. they're bffs and i love it

4. Share a sentence or a paragraph from your writing that you're really proud of (explain why, if you like)

ok, i had to go with two, and one of them is a whole fic lmao. this is such a hard one too, bc there's more than just these two!

1. the paragraph below was the first that popped into my head. i just really liked writing this scene and it is probably my favourite from the fic "hit and run". i'm so proud of that fic, it's one of my babies haha. you go on one drunk ghost tour and a whole fic idea comes to you 🥰

Footsteps sounded as his captors entered the room, signalling the start of his demise while tearing him away from a bubble he wanted to live in forever. “Never forget that. Please." He pressed his lips to her forehead. Roy’s eyes never left Riza’s face as he was hauled towards the chair in the centre of the room. He watched as a tear rolled down her cheek, feeling some relief that he’d managed to get through to her.

2. an illustrated fic i worked on with a dear friend of mine, called "i can hear the echoes of the past". it was an absolute joy to co-write it with them and not only that, they're so talented and drew art for it too! they blew me away with their dedication to the piece and it made me really proud of what we achieved with the oneshot!!

6. What character do you have the most fun writing

hmm... this is a hard one but at the moment... probably havoc (aaah so predictable el oh el) but only because it's so refreshing and it's a change for me. i'm working on a fic that's not heavily based on royai's relationship, although it's in there, but it's on the havoc/hawkeye friendship. it's a nice change of pace!

yeet is either when you throw something far OR people can describe it as like… “im going to yeet out of here” which implies you’re the one being thrown… it can also be used as a form of yes
