Smoke Without Fire
A Fullmetal Alchemist fanfiction by Nina
The year is 1905. Roy Mustang has graduated from the Amestris State Military Academy, and all he has left to do before becoming a State Alchemist is to master flame alchemy. This dream comes to a halt with the sudden and mysterious death of his mentor Berthold Hawkeye in an apparent flame alchemy accident—and with him, the knowledge Roy has long sought. Roy knows he must keep his eyes ahead, but there are mysteries to uncover beneath the ashes, and he cannot look away. How did Berthold Hawkeye truly die? What does Berthold’s death have to do with the disappearance of his research? And where is Riza Hawkeye? Personal hopes hinge on the answers, but Roy cannot know how far beyond him the truth truly goes.
