I've always loved Royai. It's a pairing that I'll never grow old of. Their partnership and romance (or however you want to put it) inspires me and makes me think, "Will I actually ever find someone who I can treat and feel the same way as they do to each other?"
Among all the fanfictions I've read, Apples from the Tree, Living in Borrowed Time, Mustang Family Journals, Midnight Conversations and Origins have to be some of my favorites. All those stories were written with a light tone and were designed to make the reader feel warm and giddy inside. Some of the fics there contain some action or drama, but the whole story in itself is lighter compared to others.Best Kept Secret, We that are young, Shall never see so much and Ruby Throat are in a different category. They're deeper as compared to the aforementioned stories, and contain so much more drama and character development. They explore more than expected the character's thoughts and actions, deepening the story. It creates a certain depth that somehow touches you and tells you how hard they've maintained their relationship (may it be professional or romantic) and how much they actually need each other. It's a whole different Roy and Riza, in my opinion.
I realized that I've fallen in love with a pairing that was barely characterized by the author, and was fully developed by fanfiction writers. Though all of them have different Roy's and Riza's, the main characteristics of their personality and relationship remain.
