There might be a 'Roy Mustang x OC fanfic' where the OC is an alchemist from a foreign land. Roy is initially suspicious of her, but as they work together to solve a mystery involving a powerful alchemical artifact, they fall in love. This type of story often has elements of cultural exchange and the exploration of different alchemical techniques.
The OC could share a similar past with Roy. For example, if they both had a traumatic experience related to the Ishvalan War. This common ground would create an instant bond as they understand each other's pain and guilt. They could then support each other in dealing with their past traumas while falling in love in the process.
One good story could be 'The Unspoken Bond'. It delves deep into the unspoken understanding between Roy and Riza. It shows their relationship evolving from just comrades to something more profound, with beautiful descriptions of their shared glances and unsaid emotions.
You need to understand Roy Mustang's character thoroughly. He's a complex character with his own goals and motives. Incorporate his traits like his ambition and his sense of justice into the relationship with your OC. For the plot, you could have them team up to take on a common enemy in the military. Develop their relationship gradually, through shared experiences, conversations, and small moments of connection.
One great Roy Mustang OC fanfiction is 'The Flame's New Ally'. It has an interesting original character who teams up with Roy Mustang and they go through various challenges together. The story is well - written with great character development for both the OC and Mustang.
The OC could be an undercover agent sent to spy on Roy Mustang. However, as she gets to know him better, she realizes that he's not the power - hungry military man she was led to believe. Roy, on the other hand, discovers her true identity but instead of turning her in, he tries to convince her to join his side. This back - and - forth dynamic can lead to a very engaging fanfiction with a romantic subplot.
One common theme is power and ambition. Since Roy Mustang is a character associated with power (his fire alchemy) and his ambition to rise in the military, many OCs are created to either complement or contrast with that. For example, an OC might have a power that can either enhance or hinder Mustang's own power, and their interactions revolve around how they deal with power dynamics.
Character development is key. Roy Mustang has a distinct personality in the original series, and the fanfiction should stay true to that while also showing how he changes or is affected by the relationship with the reader. Also, the reader - insert character should have their own personality traits and not just be a blank slate.
One common theme is loyalty. Given their relationship in the original work, fanfics often explore how their loyalty to each other deepens. For example, in many stories, they face dangerous situations together and their loyalty is put to the test.
A great fanfic in this pairing often has well - developed characters. It should stay true to the personalities of Riza and Roy as seen in the original series. For example, Riza's loyalty and Roy's ambition. The chemistry between them should be palpable, whether it's a slow - burn romance or an already established relationship. Good dialogue is also key, as it helps to bring out their unique relationship dynamics.
I also like 'Flames of Friendship'. In this one, it starts with a simple encounter between them that gradually blossoms into a strong friendship. The author does a great job of showing how their mutual respect grows over time. They face various challenges together, from dealing with other alchemists to handling the politics within the military, all while their bond becomes more and more unbreakable.
