Art Donaldson x Reader | 5k words
SORRY SERIES LINK.
warnings: pregnancy, implied discussion of abortion, a boy groveling on his knees for his family, thereâs a dog (a real one, not just Art), talk about Artâs forced weird athletic borderline disordered eating.
okay, i lied last time. THIS is my best work. this is very out of my brain and i hope you love it. holy shit.
Have you ever sat and listened to a leaky faucet? I mean, really listened?
Steady. Like a heartbeat, if you think about it.
Sometimes, though, if the leak is slow enough, itâs more like the kind of heart rate that sends the nurse with the crash-cart sweeping into the room to shock you out of an AFIB pattern. Or however that worked.
[Y/N] was listening to it. The dripping. The kitchen sink. It hadnât stopped for days. When it began, it was steady. Now, it was irregular. It started the day Art left
Art had been away at an early season tournament. [Y/N] had an impossible work week, so Art had told her he was happy to go for the better part of the week on his own. They both knew Art really did hate to be alone in situations like that. He had always had one of his people there. His mom, Patrick, [Y/N]; one of them was in his corner at these things. This time, he was truly on his own. Art could not stand to travel alone. He had his team of physios and coaches, but not his family. [Y/N] was going to swing by and surprise him at the end, but her boss had leaned into her for trying to take more days off during release season for the big summer blockbusters. Plus, someone did have to watch the dog.
This context about Artâs being away is important. Itâs not that Art was the epitome of a handyman, but he really liked to feel like he was contributing to their homeâs ecosystem when a lightbulb went out or a switch needed replacing. The man was incredible with the small things. Yet, [Y/N] sat at the kitchen table with a frown on her face, trying to rough in an outline for an article. With the faucet dripping. If Art were there, or if she was with Art three states over, the faucet wouldnât be dripping against the porcelain basin.
It wasnât like the wifi signal was strong enough anywhere else on the property for her to up and move either.
drip drip drip. Said the faucet.
[Y/N] was damn near the point where she was going to run upstairs to the bedroom and get the baseball bat Art kept with the express purpose of running down the stairs in his briefs and cracking up on possible intruders. All she could think about was bringing the wood down against the glass and cheap metal on her kitchen counter.
A new house would have a working sink and a bathroom counter that wasnât too small and a halfway decent wifi signal.
Instead, [Y/N] set her face down upon the cool blue faux granite countertop. The temperature helped ease the feeling of the hyperbolic corkscrew being driven between her eyes. The dripping kept dripping and [Y/N] wanted to cry.
This agony wasnât all the sinkâs fault, though.
[Y/N] saw on the tennis channel before she even got a call from Art that heâd won that weekend. He still hadnât called. The lack of a call from made her feel ashamed. Not a soul there to celebrate the success with him. She felt an immense sense of guilt slide across her skin because she wasnât there to witness that smile he got when he won. Sweaty and angry, but relieved every time. He still got that look when he won. Art was a machine on the court, and a competitor not worth counting out at this point in his career. He still looked surprised and delighted every time he, of all people, hit the winner. [Y/N] loved that look. Art loved how she would celebrate with him after a win, too.
[Y/N] prayed Art made his flight without delay that evening. Selfishly, because she wanted her boy back. Also because Art was mortally terrified of airplanes. Planes made him feel out of control due to lack of trust with the pilot. Without that phone call from him, [Y/N] was scared knowing he was out on his own and that he likely felt anxious enough to give a horse a heart attack. She would have no way of knowing if something had happened between the match end and now.
She did know that the sink was leaking.
She also knew her period was two weeks late.
That, Art couldnât fix on his own. In fact, it was fairly obvious that the delay was more or less Artâs fault.
[Y/N] hadnât yet taken a pregnancy test at that time. If she took the time to take one, it would make everything the obvious answer a reality she would have to deal with. She had scares before. Ones that she had never, and would never, tell Art about. She would wait for her delayedânot missed!âperiod and everything would be fine. Like the other times. It had to be fine.
She checked her phone. It was a blue slidephone with small rhinestone stickers she had applied to the back. Still nothing from Art. He said he would call first right after the match, but he still hadnât actually called, so maybe it was time to call first. It had been hours since he said heâd ring up. It wasnât a major concern that Art would blow her off. Ideas of danger and uncertainties flooded her head.
âIâm the one that wants marriage so bad. Not Artie. What if he says no? Or not nowâŠ?â
[Y/N] sat on the beach with her back against Patrickâs shins. Art and [Y/N] were completing their first year completely post college. [Y/N] and Patrick were twenty-four and Art was almost twenty-four. His November birthday set him behind.
Patrickâs hands were on her shoulders and his body in a beach chair behind her while they both stared off over ocean as the sun set. âYouâre actually stupid if you think heâll deny you, [Y/N].â
âYeah, but I donât want to step on his game, or whatever. The guy is supposed to ask. Isnât this going to be⊠emasculating or something?â
âEmasculating for Art? For pretty baby? Yeah, okay,â Patrick teased. [Y/N] threw a fistful of sand at him. âChrist, okay, okay. Cool it.â He spit.
Art had run back up toward to hotel to grab his water bottle, while Patrick and [Y/N] stayed at the dunes. [Y/N] wanted to propose to Art by tripâs end. She thought it would be sweet. Art was extremely forward when it came to her her, but he hadnât been forward about the whole proposal business. He seemed scared about marriage. [Y/N]he would do it herself.
She was grateful for the time alone with her best friend too. Sitting and doing nothing, or partying. Either was more than welcome. âHeâs not going to say no,â Patrick continued. His mouth casually leaned close to her ear. âBecause itâs insane how whipped youâve got him.â
âDonât say thatââ
âHe wants to have your babies. Ask him. Trust me, heâll say yes and he will be all the hell over you.â His fingers worked into [Y/N]âs shoulders, feeling the tension there. He took his hands off of her when Art came running down the beach.
[Y/N] heard a click in the lock. Her head flopped to the left, still pressed against the counter, to glance at the door. Her heart rate increased. She was so tired and the speed of the situation so fast, that she didnât both moving or attempting to defend herself.
Most fortunately, when the door swung open, it was her Art. The sun was going down behind him. He looked a bit ragged and had a racket bag over one shoulder and two duffels in the other hand. She sat upright sharply on the kitchen barstool. âPretty baby!â
All Artâs gear hit the floor. The door was left open behind him (taking a big chance that their Labrador mix, Cheese, didnât run down the stairs and bolt out and away). Art walked toward [Y/N], arms extending. His strong arms pulled [Y/N] in close to his chest. She rested her head against his soft gray t-shirt. Her own arms embraced him back and one of her hands tucked comfortably into the back pocket of his jeans. â[Y/N]⊠I missed you.â Art said into her hair.
âI missed you⊠I-I⊠You didnât call. How did you get hereââ
âFinal match actually started on time, so I gambled on moving my flight to the earlier one. I didnât have time to call if I was taking the early one. I shouldâve texted. I got nervous with the-the flight. Iâm sorry. Forgive me?â
[Y/N] leaned back to look at him. There was no more welcome sight in the world than Art Donaldson. Irish genetics saw to it that Art was freckled from the spring sun. With shaggy hair boyishly covered by a baseball cap tipping back dangerously, he practically glowed. Even though he looked like shit. His sunglasses were hanging on his shirt. [Y/N/] tilted her head up, signaling for a kiss. Hungrily, Art leaned forward to take as many kisses as he wanted. His lips tasted like spearmint gum. Like always.
Cheese did run downstairs when Artâs hand climbed up the side of [Y/N]âs throat and when her own hand started to squeeze from under the fabric of Artâs back left pants pocket. Art had to pull regretfully away to grab Cheese by the collar and shut the front door.
Delightedly, Art did gteet Cheese with ear-scratches and a belly rub. Art received the customary licks and a tailwags in return. Cheese was always pretty down when the whole family wasnât together. He walked and played a bit, but when his dad wasnât around, Cheese kind of deflated. He had spent most of the time laying flat on Artâs side of the bed. It was obvious the dog was grieving the disappearance of his boy.
When Art bent down to pat his beloved Cheese, [Y/N] stood from her chair and bent at the waist. She pulled Artâs hat off and set it on the counter. Gently, she kissed Art on top of the head. With a scratch not unlike the ones he gave to the canine to the back of Artâs neck, the man looked up at her from the ground with a half-smile.
âCongrats, baby,â [Y/N] said. Art cut his eyes curiously from her to the tennis channel on the TV playing in the next room. That had him realizing where she would have gotten the information of his win from so efficiently. âHow was the tournament? Iâm sorry I couldnâtââ
âSure, sure, but I bet Cheese here is pretty glad you were home,â Art said and stood up with one final pat to Cheeseâs flank. âThe whole thing was great. I⊠Iâm kind of surprised I won, if Iâm being honest.â Art said, wrapping an arm around [Y/N]âs waist.
Naturally, her hands flattened against his toned chest when he tugged her towards him. âIâm not. Youâre fucking good at tennis, Art.â
His ears reddened in embarrassment as he tucked his face into [Y/N]âs neck to hide his face. Art was used to praise and loved it more than anything, no matter where it came from. Every compliment from [Y/N] was worth a hell of a lot more. Art hated thinking about why that was the case. He knew why, though. She had seen he and Patrick play and even then thought Art was good. Art still won the match when it came to [Y/N] and he would never tell her that.
âHushâŠâ He mumbled into her neck, planting a biting, teasing kiss there. She laughed. He laughed. âI played against an eighteen year old kid yesterday. He played really well,â Art leaned back to look at her again. âYou saw, Iâm sure,â he indicated the TV with a nod. âHe wouldâve won this weekend if I hadnât won that match. Just⊠Iâm twenty-six. Made me feel old.â
ââŠGlad you won, then.â
âI said if I hadnâtâŠâ
âWell, if youâre sooooo down on your win then congrats on flying home all by yourself like a big boy.â [Y/N] smirked.
âOh, youâre gonna be like that, huh?â Art withdrew his hands from his wifeâs body and put them teasingly on his own hips.
[Y/N] nodded. âYeah. If youâre old, imagine how I feel.â
âAncient, probably.â
Art leaned in for another kiss. She pushed him back playfully. âNo! You called me old!â [Y/N] laughed.
She leaned one way, then the other to avoid Artâs beautifully wrinkled nose and smiling mouth. âPlease? Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry! Youâre-youâre not old!â Art said and attempted to trap her with his arms and give her a kiss.
[Y/N] turned hard over her shoulder and ran up the stairs. Cheese gave a woof from the couch when Art chased after her. Art spent his life chasing after her.
âNo! You canât kiss me! Doghouse! Bad Art! Bad!â [Y/N] accused jokingly. Art jumped up the stairs. He took them two and three at a time.
Art backed her against the bathroom door. Nowhere left to run. His rough hands settled on her hips. âGotcha. Youâre pretty fast for an old lady, yâknow. Late for bingo, orââ Art smirked when he leaned in to kiss her.
[Y/N] shut him up with a kiss. She had missed his stupid boy babbling. His mouth was soft against hers. Art put one of his hands on the wooden door beside her face to hold himself up. The other hand found her belt loop, keeping her body close to his.
âI love you,â Art whispered between kisses. âI love you so much, honey. I missed you.â
[Y/N]âs head leaned back against the door with a soft thud. Her breath caught in her throat. âI love you tâmmh!â Art leaned in for another kiss.
The joy of being Art Donaldsonâs wife was that he never got tired of touching her, or being physically close. Sometimes, [Y/N] would look over at him while she was writing, or making dinner, and he would be staring, or slowly extending his hand to her and seeing how long it took for [Y/N] to acknowledge his presence. It never ceased to make her feel beautiful. âCan weâŠâ his fingers danced over the button on her jeans.
âCan we whatâŠ?â She asked coyly.
Art blushed, but smirked and lowered his lips by [Y/N] ear. âCan we fuck? Please?â He asked too politely for as dirty as those words were. Like the good midwestern boy that he was.
She tipped her head back further. Art kissed her neck with all the energy he could muster. âCan I not make you dinner first? You-you a cheap whore as well as old now, too?â [Y/N] jeered. Art snorted a laugh. The warm air from the giggle spread over [Y/N]âs skin, causing goosebumps to raise. âIâm never letting you leave home alone again, then.â
Art nodded against her skin, sucking and licking a spot they both new would bruise dark. The sound she let out was absolutely disgusting and Art loved it. âI would prefer to never be let out of your sight, personally.â He said when he pulled away.
âCome on, house boy⊠Weâre havinâ dinner. And youâre gonna eat some bread,â [Y/N] said, pointing a finger at Artâs chest. He started to put up a fight about the ultra-low nonexistent amount of inactive carbs he was eating during the season, but [Y/N] kept chattering. âStop talking. Your brain doesnât work right without carbs. Braindead. Come on, dinner.â
âYouâre bad for me.â
âI know.â [Y/N] smiled.
Normally, [Y/N] drank a cup of coffee when the pair made dinner. Art knew the pattern. He made her the cup of coffee every time. It sat mostly unfinished that night, though. She found herself heating and reheating it in the microwave as they cooked. She started to space out as he recapped the tournament in full detail, as she requested. If Art noticed, he didnât let on. [Y/N] noticed, though. Little stood between her and coffee. She didnât want to drink it. That was violently unusual.
âHey, Iâm gonna go piss. Can youââ
âWatch the sauce?â Art asked, indicating the creamy pesto she had on the stove while Art cleaned and cut vegetables.
âMhm.â [Y/N] confirmed. Art slid over to take the spoon from her. He placed a hand at the bottom of her back as she walked away. Art fit perfectly into her life. It wasnât fair how right he was for her.
She went to the upstairs bathroom instead of the downstairs one. She hoped that didnât set off Artâs sixth sense about the way-things-had-to-be. Once upstairs, [Y/N] wasted no time yanking open the medicine cabinet behind the mirror. It was overflowing, naturally. Makeup, supplements, condoms, hair ties, pill bottles, loose painkillers. It was a disaster. There was also a pregnancy test.
A laughing Art had given it to [Y/N] as a joke the morning after their wedding night and she had hit him hard enough to bruise across the chest. The test sat wrapped and in the box behind the mirror every day since. Just in case.
[Y/N] had officially arrived at just in case.
She gingerly tossed the empty box under the sink so Art wouldnât see it without looking for it. Then, [Y/N] undid the buttons on her overalls and, well, took the test.
Lacking the time to sit and watch it come back positive or negative, [Y/N] tossed the clean cap on the stick, slid it into the pocket of her overalls, washed her hands and went downstairs like nothing was wrong.
Except she knew something was wrong. Now she felt like she had a loaded gun in her pocket. She was too cautious with her movements due to the fear that the test would slip out of her front right pocket in front of Art.
She was damn near about to step into the pantry and shut the door just to see if the pee stick had one line or two. If he wasnât already suspicious, that would do it. [Y/N] felt that the anxiety created was easily the worst anxiety she had ever had. Oops.
[Y/N] got quiet. She was talking less and listening more. Not that there was anything wrong with that, but she was a chatterbox. Art would notice her blanched face and wrinkled brow eventually, she worried.
Ever the perceptive bastard, Art did. When he sat beside [Y/N] at the counter to eat a bowl of pasta with more inactive carbs than he had eaten in six months, he kept cutting his eyes at her. His bare foot nudged her ankle. Her dish was relatively untouched. âYou good, babe? Youâre being weird.â
âIâm not being weird.â
âYou are being weird because youâre not being you. Iâve barely asked you how youâre doing with all the excitement. Long day?â Art asked, setting down his fork to drag his hand across the back of her shoulders.
âYeah, a bit.â [Y/N] said. What she meant to say was I have a pregnancy test and I bet it is positive in my pocket right now and Iâm so terrified that I can practically smell my pit stains right now, baby. But she didnât say that.
Art spun to face her, taking in her expression and demeanor. There was that contemplative knot perched between his eyebrows. The back of his hand landed calmly on [Y/N]âs forehead to check her temperature. âArtâŠâ [Y/N] said, pushing his hand down.
âNo, hang on.â Art said firmly. He tried to put his hand back on her face. Instead, not having a clue what it said, [Y/N] reached into her front right pocket and slammed the pregnancy test down between them. Art retracted his hand and flinched back a bit at the sudden movement. The test was face down on the counter.
Artâs eyes cut from the test back to her. His face was suddenly very solemn. âAre youââ
ââI dunno. I didnât-I couldnât look. Itâs been in my pocket for twenty minutes. No idea.â
âDo you think you are?â
[Y/N] shrugged and looked at her bowl. It looked too green. sick sick sick. drip drip drip said the faucet.
âDo you want to know if you are?â Art asked wide-eyed. âI want to know, personally. Do⊠Do you?â
Again, [Y/N] shrugged. âIf we donât look, itâs not real.â
ââŠThatâs stupid.â Art shook his head.
âYouâre stupid.â
Art sighed. âIâm gonna look. I mean, Iâm going to turn it over,â his eyes frantically reached for [Y/N]âs. He grabbed her hand with his to get her attention. âIâm going to look. Is that okay with you?â
âYeah.â She whispered and it was okay.
And she was pregnant.
Two blue lines stared at them.
âFuck.â [Y/N] said. She felt both elated and humiliated. She wanted so badly to be a mother. She wanted to cry. How could they keep it? The timing was wrong. She hadnât agreed to this. The two of them had so many fights about it. She barely understood how this happened. She thought they were being so careful. It didnât make any sense. Every precaution she could think of had been taken at one point or another.
And the fucking faucet was still dripping. She could hear it. drip drip drip. Over and over.
âFuck.â She said sliding out of her chair and standing unsteadily. That wasnât the result one should feel when they get something they have spent so long wanting.
Art ran his hands through his hair. He knew he shouldnât be smiling when she looked so worried. His face betrayed the wide smile he hoped to hide. Thatâs exactly what he wanted to see. Fuck.
âHoney⊠Hey, hey. Youâre okay. This is awesome. Câmere.â Art said like he was diffusing a bomb. His arm were wide open to hold her.
âArtâŠâ
âNo, uh-uh. Just come here. Please.â
Cautiously, [Y/N] made her way into her favorite pair of arms in the world. âItâs not supposed to be like this.â [Y/N] choked out as Art held her.
âShh, I know, I know,â Art said calmly. His left handâs fingers brushed her hair away from her face. âBut thatâs how it is now. We have to accept that and solve for the next move, right?â It was silent for a while after that. [Y/N]âs arms were tightly wrapped around Artâs shoulders and their bowls of pasta were certainly cold. She felt that she had ruined everything.
She glanced at Artâs face. The small smile betrayed him. âArt⊠We canât. Not now.â she had told Art not now so many times that it felt forced and rehearsed. Now that [Y/N] that was actually pregnant, she wanted nothing more than to stay pregnant. The timing was far from good. She had articles that were still very due the next day. She had a husband who very much traveled often for work (who she traveled with too). She had Cheese, who was staring at her weird over the back the couch because he didnât understand crying.
âWhat do you mean we canât?â Art said quietly. âWe-We can. We⊠have. We are⊠Actively.â He fumbled.
âWe can. We did! But⊠You know nowâs not a good time, baby.â [Y/N] countered weakly.
Artâs hands never left [Y/N]âs waist. âLetâs run pros and cons.â
âPretty baby.â She said accusatorially. Good old analytic ArtâŠ
âLetâs run pros and cons.â Art repeated unflinchingly. He sprang up off of his barstool to gather a sharpie and a legal pad from some drawer. Art uncapped the marker harshly with his teeth. Cap between his teeth still, he asked: âDo you want it?â while he found a clean, smooth page.
Before she could respond with her head, [Y/N] responded with her heart. She nodded a yes to him immediately. âDo you?â
Art capped the back end of the marker to free up his mouth. âMore than anything ever, I think. It would probably kill me a little bit, actually, if⊠Yeah. I understand and itâs all up to you, honey, but⊠Yeah.â His hand created a PRO column and a CON column on the page.
Under PRO, Art added the items he knew would cause no trouble in his blocky capitalized handwriting:
FINALLY START FAMILY
NATURAL/EASY START
SEASON ALMOST OVER
[Y/N] HAS FLEXIBLE HRS
DREAM COME TRUE??
WILL BE GR8 PARENTS
[Y/N] nodded in approval. She couldnât think of more pros, but Art handed her the marker and she started in on the CON list:
OLYMPICS??
ARTâS NEVER HOME
EXPENSIVE
SMOKING/COFFEE
CHEESE JEALOUS?
TOO YOUNG!
Art drew the line at giving up stimulants and assigning the dog human traits and struck both of those off the list with a frown.
Frankly, Art thought the cons list turned out rude.
âI havenât qualified for the Olympics yet,â he protested. âAnd if I do, imagine how early on that would be. Before all the hard stuff.â
[Y/N] replied with the thing they both knew was the most real problem. She had waited forever to say it out loud. âNo offense⊠You are never home anymore. Youâre busy all the time. Which I get. Itâs your job. Youâre good at your job. But look how excited the fuckinâ dog got to see you because you were gone so long. You are never here. We canât put a human in doggy day camp all the time. It would be fucking impossible to raiseââ
âIâll quit,â Art said, wincing. He wouldnât. [Y/N] felt that this was a bluff. He tried in vain to hide his expression of shame. âIâll quit tennis.â He said. He wasnât going to.
âThat would worsen the problem. No money.â
âIâll work at the 7/11. Iâll be a construction worker. I could be a fuckinâ coach. I actually have a degree, yâknow, I can use it. Iâm more than a racket. I donât want you to feel alone here. I want to be here for all of it, I canââ
âYou know Iâm alone here a lot, babe. A lot. You donât⊠Youâre in a position where youâre unable to help constantly. Because youâre gone. Thatâs okay. I married you knowing that, right? But a baby, Art? Thatâs not fair.â
âIâll bail on a season. I will. I justâŠâ Art stared at her. âPlease. Iâm begging you. See this kid through with me.â
The sharpie was forgotten on the counter along with dinner. Artâs knees landed on the floor before [Y/N]. Art practically lived on his knees in front of [Y/N]. He gathered [Y/N] hands in his. âPlease. Itâs your call, but hear me out. Because that thing is part of both us. I donât want you to hate or resent me or the little stinker forever, but you want it. I know that. Hear me out.â His beautiful two-tone eyes stared up at her.
âFine. Go ahead.â
âI will give you anything. Please, my world is you. Not tennis; you. Iâm telling you, I-I would leave that behind to be anything you need right now. Just ask it. Youâre my fucking priority, you got that? I just.. I⊠Please? Iâm not going anywhere.â
âI want to keep it too, butââ
âThen whatâs the big deal?â Art asked hopefully.
âIt isnât a good time. Itâs too soon.â
Artâs mouth trailed kisses across his wifeâs stomach and hips and hands and arms. He let this go on for several minutes. âPlease,â Art whimpered pathetically into the skin of her wrist. âPlease, please, please. I will do anything, my love. Iâm on my knees here,â Art looked up at her through thick lashes. âWe can do this. Both of us together. Iâll do whatever you want. You know I will. This can be good for us. Iâm really sorry weâre here, but here we are, hon. What timeâs going to be the right time? Please. I love you.â Art pleaded desperately.
[Y/N] knew this was going to be a disaster. But she wanted to keep it. What timeâs going to be the right time? rung in her ears over and over, like the faucet. They had put so much time into arguing about the time and the place that would be right for a family. Now it was right in front of them. Her hand caressed Artâs face. She loved it when he groveled like that. This time, on his knees and everything. On instinct, he nuzzled his face into her hand and looked up at her through long lashes.
âWill you fix the faucet? Itâs been dripping all week.â
âAnything.â
âIâll⊠Iâll think about it. Iâm going to think about it. The baby.â
âYou will?â Artâs teary eyes widened.
âObjectively, this is a terrible fucking idea. We both know that. But if itâs really so terrible, why do I feel, like⊠happy about itâŠâ
Artâs face lit up. It wasnât a yes, but it wasnât a no either. [Y/N], honestly, found it very hard to say no to Art. His arms wrapped carefully around her thighs while his head rested against her middle as he knelt. [Y/N] could feel his silver ring through the denim of her overalls. âGod, I love you. I love you, [Y/N]. Weâre not going to regret this. Holy shitâŠâ
âLove you too. Weâre gonna⊠Weâre gonna try, maybe? This doesnât feel real. Does this feel real? IâŠâ
âIt feels like a dream is what it feels like,â Art mumbled into her clothes. âI love you.â Art said, pressing a kiss to her stomach.
âI love you.â
âIâm gonna be a dadâŠâ Art almost wept. âIf you, yâknow, but⊠Shit. Iâm sorry.â Which part he was apologizing for was unclear.
At that, [Y/N] laughed and tangled her fingers in his curly blonde mop of hair. âYeah, youâre gonna be a fucking dad, pretty baby.â She smiled.
[Y/N]âs next instinct was to say: I have to call Patrick. Then she remembered couldnât call Patrick.

#a packless dog will happily accept his collar or something like that#own art#own characters#CanisAlbus#art#artists on tumblr#Machete#anthro#sighthound#dogs#canine#animals#maybe you might benefit from a little bit of context in this case#Machete becomes a priest at around 20 or so#he has trained all his life for this goal#he has worked himself to the bone and sacrificed so much#because he believes it would make him respectable and worthy and give his life a purpose and meaning#he gets his very first cassock from the tailor's and it immediately fits like a second skin#for the first time ever he feels like something he wears actually makes him look kind of nice#the hard part is over it'll be smooth sailing from here on out#there's a period in Vasco's and Machete's lives where they were apart for almost a decad#they met in their late teens when they were both studying in the same university in Venice#became friends and then lovers#but had to separate when Machete graduated and Vasco dropped out#Machete was ordained as intended and Vasco followed his father into politics#they meet again unexpectedly in their early 30's thanks to their similar jobs#Machete had became a cardinal secretary of state and Vasco was a Florentine diplomat#this takes place shortly after he had lost contact with Vasco and before he reconnects with him again

Son of Gondor
#kodasea#art#own art#artists on tumblr#2022 art#procreate art#digital artwork#my fanart#lord of the rings#boromir#lord of the rings fanart#I get so emotional over this guy#There's a lot of reasons why Fellowship is my favorite of the movies and Boromir is chief among them#The desperation to save your people#The pressure of knowing you're the favorite of your weak and crumbling father#The one other guy in your company who is a human has no connection to your people and would rather do anything than go near your city#A city literally on the doorstep to hell#Anyway yeah I love this guy. So imperfect in all the right human ways
