I have to know, how did Eru and Castorien meet?? Maybe you get this question a lot but I love hearing how couples get together. =D Your art is amazing keep up the good work!!!

:’D Eru and Cas actually met through a mutual friend and Farstrider Shalenn! (the stablemaster in SMC lol)

Eru owns and runs an extensive orchard, while his parents run the farmier half, and after the Third War, they were lucky to not lose much land and became super busy providing food for the remaining population, so Eru handled a lot of supply shipments into the city and made acquaintances with most of the people in there. 

Castorien, meanwhile, after the loss of his family, boyfriend, and any happiness he might’ve had after the Third War, banished himself to the Ghostlands where he worked himself to death with the Farstriders there and developed a pretty crippling arcane addiction. Skip ahead about 7 yrs Cas finally is convinced to return to the city, with Shalenn keeping a concerned eye on him, and as Eru’s making one of his deliveries he glimpses Cas…and immediately does not like him haha. 

However, after a couple more shipments and seeing the zombie man a few more times, Eru’s pity/nurturing instinct gets the better of him and he starts bringing some food for Cas specifically (since he’s basically all but withered).  Pride is the only thing Cas really has left though, so they end up making an arrangement for Cas to come do work at his place in exchange for meals. And from then it’s a very slow, hands off recovery as Cas overcomes his trauma with Eru’s help and the good honest work of repairing the rundown bits of the property + gardening, and learns how to be a person again.

It’s really not until Eru completes his blood knight training 3 yrs later and joins with a special forces military unit (Phoenix Highguard) that anything starts to move beyond friendship though. Cas tags along to keep an eye on Eru since he’s really quite young and new to military life, and all the intense campaigns and life threatening situations act as a very strong catalyst for Cas realizing his latent feelings for Eru. Meanwhile, Eru was….actually dating someone else lol. But things work out and they end up in a very happy threesome relationship for a while, and once Eru got a taste for Cas in a romantic sense, he fell super quick and hard.

And now their 3rd anniversary is July 2nd and they’re engaged :’)(Cas proposed
