I wanted to paint Lucien without his Glamour! Heir markers and all! If this isn't the lord of fire, son of the HL of Day best boy, I don't know who is! I love this man!!

Sorry about the quality, I'm a bit rusty after not being super active, so this was a fun exercise!!

I got a really nice comment on my Last Unicorn/ACOTAR fic the other day, a fic that I last updated in…😬😬😬 2020. I hate that I left it at a cliff hanger, and I do promise to finish it one day. It really makes me happy to see people sticking around in the meantime 🥰🥰🥰

stuff that feels rewarding as a fanfic author:

when your work inspires fanart/comics

when people point out a scene/particular line(s) that tugged at their heartstrings

when people ask for your meta of your work that they enjoyed so much

when someone comments on a fic you wrote 982783113502 years ago

getting recc’d

just the small happiness in knowing you made someone out there smile on their way to work/home or at school, in knowing you warmed someone’s heart somehow

Lady death

Someone on Threads (and I’ve already lost the post 😭) was theorizing on what SJM posting about the Spring Court on Instagram recently meant

—which then led to someone theorizing that Tamlin is going to kidnap Elain

—which then led to people arguing about why he’d do that, that SJM “would never,” etc etc

But like…what if he does? And then Lucien has to go toe to toe with Tamlin to get Elain back?

My lovely Eris commission 🔥🔥🔥

I got one of the nicest reviews on this fic today so have a reblog on me. 😁

Strange the Dreamer Fic

Fandom: Strange the Dreamer/Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor

Title: ~he held his breath until his cheeks turned blue~

Rating: PG-13 

Word Count: 35,696

Summary: 

An alternate ending to Muse of Nightmares based on a theory I developed while reading the book. The theory never came true so I wrote it instead!

~*~

But that was the problem with making wishes. Thyon had spent as much energy on wanting to be his own story as he did his own spirit for azoth that he forgot the one rule when it came to wishes. It was understandable that he’d forget this rule, after all. He had left all of Strange’s books back in Zosma, and, with everything going on, with his mind otherwise diverted, he had simply forgot. Thyon would get his wish, there was no doubt about that. He had made a wish, and the universe had listened. But the rules still held regardless.

Thyon Nero forgot to be specific.

🎃🕷️ Happy Halloween! 🕸️☠️

This incredible artwork is by the amazing and talented @lib-arts of Elain & Lucien, as Snow White & Prince Charming into the dark forest!

I'm obsessed. This was such a fun idea to see go from sketches to final render, Lib truly elavated my idea and I love how it turned out. 🖤

@nessianweek Day Seven: Free Day

“Cassian’s stomach twisted. ‘Nesta,’ he said into her ear. ‘Nesta, open your hand and come back.’ Her breathing sharpened. The cold deepened. ‘Nesta,’ he snarled— And the cold halted. It didn’t vanish, but rather… stopped. Nesta’s eyes flicked open. Silver fire burned within. Nothing Fae looked out through them. […] But Nesta’s hand continued to squeeze Cassian’s. He squeezed back, let his Siphons send a bite of power into her skin. She turned her head so slowly it was like watching a puppet move. Her eyes met his. Death watched him. But Death had walked beside him every day of his life. So Cassian stroked his thumb along her palm and said, ‘Hello, Nes.’” – A Court of Silver Flames, Chapter 31

For the last day of Nessian Week, I commissioned this incredible illustration with Heitor, who ended up preparing one of the best representations of Nesta and Cassian I’ve ever seen.
