Not super creative, but I always headcanoned that Winry and Riza stayed kind of in contact after they met the first time. They didn’t write like long letters since they really only had that one conversation, but they’d send each other little gifts like earrings, or tools for Winry (also I imagine that since Resembool is a sheep town, there has to be a certain type of cheese native to that region only, which Riza likes for some reason😅). As Winry gets older, they become actual friends

That’s very cute! I can see that happening! I’d love to see more of Winry & Riza’s friendship.

fav unlikely friendship in fma?

idk if this counts as “unlikely,” but these two def have the most underrated friendship in the series.

Like, riza is such a mom to the boys, but I feel like she would also be considered a motherly figure to Winry? She’s def someone Winry admires, and I feel like it given the chance they would probably become quite close.

Also, I lowkey headcanon that Riza knew Winry’s parents during the Ishvaal War–not personally, but they were really kind to her and made a huge impression on her. Their deaths probably hit her kinda hard, but seeing Winry grow up and have such a full heart comforts her :’)
