Dedication: For
cornerofmadness, as a slightly belated birthday present. The inspiration was obvious. :-)
Roy Mustang doesn't gamble. Maes Hughes used to say it was all that kept him from being a rake straight out of the Age of Wits, a dapper buck breaking faro banks and maidens' hearts while sipping claret. Roy always retorted that he couldn't stomach claret, either, but his friend made the comparison anyway whenever Roy declined a round of blackjack or craps. He wishes Maes could see him now, pushing everything he's earned to the center of the table, calling the bet of a man whose poker face no cardsharp can match.
Because Roy Mustang doesn't gamble ... with money.

I'm actually dividing my time up between that, a 'Disaster 'verse' series of shorts (coughBright Light Dim sequelcough), Balance of Power, and an AMV that's STILL devouring my brain (7 months and counting, after subtracting time off for other stuff).
That's not including job hunting, and 'other' stuff.
btw? You'll be happy to know that this AMV is ALL. YOUR. FAULT! XD
...indirectly.
