Logan Delos

Colored pencil, 9"×12

I'm on a mission to finish all the WIPs I started back in the spring, so hopefully more fanart incoming? I've got some Mando, Sandman, Never Have I Ever..., and I think that's about it?

Feel More Alive

Word Count: 1,503  Warnings: language & (gag) mention of William A/N: The second that I saw this piece of artwork, I heard I Can’t Stand It by VHS Collection in my head, so the title comes from that song. 

(ARTIST APPRECIATION SUBMISSION)  

Happy Friday everyone! I know it’s been a little while since I posted one of these, and since there has been so much amazing art lately, I thought I would get back to it. This one made me gasp aloud when I first saw it, even though I KNEW it would be incredible from the second I sent the request in. @pheedraws​ literally never disappoints and always delivers absolutely stunning portraits and drawings, and this one was no exception. 

Phoebe! How do you do it? How do you manage to get so much emotion and expression in your art? How do you fit so much detail and light and life into these pieces? You are an art enchantress... an ARTchantress, and I never cease to be amazed at the magic you create. 

So from me to you, THANK YOU so much for sharing your talent with all of us. You are fabulous, you are appreciated, you are a frickin gem. 

He should not be allowed to look that good in purple aubergine and yet... 

The wide expanse of the city spread out before him as he took his seat across from the solid plate glass wall. The hotel bar that he was in offered one of the most stunning views available of Singapore at night, and while he’d been to the city countless times before on business due to the island-nation’s favorable international tax rates, he couldn’t remember the last time he had visited purely for pleasure. When was the last trip I took where I wasn’t working? He couldn’t remember that either, only able to recall the various times he’d been in the room where he sat now. Outside, the lotus shaped structure of the ArtScience museum went from orange to violet as the lights changed, the reflections bouncing off the water below and coming through the window to tint Logan’s cheeks. Maybe one’a these days I’ll get down there, check it out. I bet- 

A server came by then to deliver two tall, slender champagne flutes, and Logan let his thoughts trail off as the woman smiled. “Is there anything else I can do for you right now, Mr. Delos?” She tucked her small round tray beneath her arm, the fingers of her free hand skimming the bottom hem of her dress where it sat almost plastered to her thighs before trailing those same fingertips over the table top. Subtle. 

It wasn’t her fault. He knew that the staff here had been instructed to cater to whatever requests their high profile visitors might have. In the past he would have taken her up on her offer, but this trip, while still business related, was different for a few reasons. Logan returned her smile, undoing the button on his jacket and leaning back in his seat. “No, thank you, I’m all set for now.”   

She let her tongue slip out from between her lips before giving him another slowly spreading smile and bringing her hand up to innocently toy with one of her dangling earrings. “Well, if anything changes, I’d be happy to-” 

I’m sure you would. “I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks.” He lifted his glass to her, cocking one eyebrow as he did, then brought it to his mouth and took a large gulp. The woman nodded and turned to head back to the bar, but Logan caught her throw one last glance over her shoulder at him as she did. 

I should talk to the manager, tell ‘em that they can stop tellin’ the staff to do that with me. He let his eyes scan the room then, flitting over the faces of the people at the other booths in search of one face in particular. He laughed to himself as he brought his glass back down to the table. They’d probably look at me like I had six fuckin’ heads.  

It had been a few years since he’d chosen this location as a meeting place for a business contact, mainly because of the way things had unfolded after his last meeting there. Last time I sat in this booth I… He looked down and to his right at the empty cushion beside him. On Logan’s last visit, that space had been occupied by an attractive young man with captivating eyes with whom he’d planned to leave the hotel bar, had the Argos Initiative representatives he was meeting-if I can really call them that now that I know- not shown. He ran his palm over the dark leather upholstery. Can’t remember his name. Maybe I never even… It wouldn’t have been the first time Logan had gone to bed with someone without knowing what to call them. But I didn’t, not that night, not with him anyway. He closed his eyes and drew his hand back to the table, pointer and middle finger running up and down the stem of his glass before turning his head to the left, an involuntary frown forming as his eyes landed in the spot where William had sat on that last trip. 

He closed his eyes and turned his attention back to the floor to ceiling windows before opening them again, the golden lights of the lounge’s chandeliers joining the countless others in his field of vision. He’s gone now, no use in… Though Logan had already run though every single second of his trip to the park with his former brother in law, chastizing himself for not taking control of the situation sooner- If I’d have just fuckin’ shot her, if I’d have dragged his ass home- he hadn’t gone back further than that in his “what ifs”. But now, sitting here where it all began, he couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened had William not called it a night so early, had he been in the room with Logan when just a twitch of Angela’s finger had frozen the entire assembly of Hosts. He’d had to have seen it then. They’re not real, they’re...they’re not alive, they… With a sigh he trained his eyes on his glass as a string of tiny bubbles rose to the surface. If he’d have seen what I saw, felt what I felt, there’s no way he would have… I’d at least have seen it sooner, seen it before I brought him to the park and… 

Fuck. He hadn’t wanted to think about that time, or the initial meeting with Argos. This trip was different not only because of what Logan had gone through since the last time he’d set foot in Singapore, but because of who he had with him this time- you. He’d been hesitant to bring you with him on this trip, not because he wasn’t sure of how he felt about you or because he wanted to take the lounge’s servers up on their offers to take care of whatever he needed, but because he wasn’t sure what being back in that place would be like for him, what feelings it might bring up. While this was a business trip, and you were a contracted Delos employee, that’s not all that this trip was, and he didn’t want it to be shrouded in the pain of his past. You knew everything that had happened, so it wasn’t that he wanted to keep anything from you. I just don’t want her to have to deal with this now. She shouldn’t. She deserves...she makes me... 

His thoughts dropped off again as the face he’d been looking for finally emerged from the hall that led to the restrooms, and he felt his chest expand as he took a breath in through his nose, his mouth dropping open to let it back out. Damn. Teeth snapping back together as you moved toward him through the crowded room, Logan watched the amethyst and orange reflections from the city lights paint swatches of color across your white dress. The rush he got just from looking at you made him feel more alive than any Host could, no matter how lifelike they were, and your smile as you noticed him noticing you was enough to banish all thoughts of his last visit to the lounge.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to take so long there was,” you rolled your eyes. “Some poor girl was crying in the bathroom mirror so I,” you twirled your hand as you sunk into the seat next to him, your knee brushing his. “I talked to her for a minute and-” 

But Logan didn’t hear the rest of your sentence, instead swallowing it with a kiss as one arm wound behind your back to pull you even closer to him. “Don’t be sorry,” he spoke against your lips before pulling back to look into your eyes. “Just don’t go anywhere else.” 

Your cheeks lifted into another smile as you brought one hand up to rake your fingers through his thick hair. Damn that’s… “That can be arranged, Logan.” You leaned in then, biting down gently on his earlobe and making him suck in a breath. “Unless,” you whispered, pressing your lips to his skin and raising goosebumps, “unless you wanna come with me.” 

Oh she has no idea what she just… “Now there’s an idea.” He picked up his glass, emptying it down his throat as you winked and did the same, then grabbed for your hand. “C’mon.” He pulled you to your feet and then with another tug, dragged you into his side. “Lemme show you the rooftop. ‘F I’m gonna buy this place, I should at least give you a private tour.” 

You hummed, a spark igniting in your eye as you rose on your toes to kiss him sweet and slow, drawing it out and making his heart race like no one else ever could. As the two of you made your way out of the lounge and into the elevator, Logan realized that his past wouldn’t haunt him anymore; that there was no longer any reason for him to hold on to the ghosts when there was so much life right in front of him.

C’est La Guerre

Word Count: 840 Warnings: some language.  Character: Logan Delos A/N: “C’est La Guerre” is French and roughly translates to “That’s war.” 

(ARTIST APPRECIATION SUBMISSION)  

Howdy folks! Ready to appreciate some amazing art?! I was so thrilled when I got this submission from @something-tofightfor​ who wanted to surprise @valkblue​ , because I absolutely ADORED this piece when it was first posted, and to be entirely honest, it was one of the pieces of art that I knew that I wanted to write about for this event. It just brought so much fun and lightheartedness to Logan, which I just love. He’s so much fun when he’s allowed to be, and this extremely talented artist showed that side of him so perfectly here.

(also shout out to @pheedraws​ for inadvertently tipping the dominoes that made this happen.)  

So, from Rachael (and I) to you, you talented beast: THANK YOU FOR GIFTING US WITH THIS MASTERPIECE. YOU ARE TALENTED. YOU ARE APPRECIATED. YOU ARE A TRUE GEM. Keep shinin’, darlin’. 

(Ugh. I just want to start trouble with him, don’t you?!)

“I just… don’t get it, Logan.” 

Juliet slapped her neck, swatting at a fly that had landed there. One side of her face was scrunched, little creases forming around her eye where her cheek had pushed up into it. She groaned, having missed the fly only managing to smack her sweat slicked and sunburned skin.  The sleeves of her blouse were rolled as high as they could go in an attempt to stay cool under the desert sun but it did little to help, the thick homespun cotton of her ankle length prairie skirt sealing in the heat. It had to be this park, didn’t it? And it had to be in the summer. Juliet liked Westworld enough the first few times that she had experienced it as a guest, but unlike Logan, there were others that she enjoyed more. No one likes this place as much as he does.  

She stepped out of the way of the makeup artist that had just finished spritzing some kind of setting spray over the prosthetic slash wound on Logan’s face, moving closer to her brother but still out of the way of the production crew. Why do I have to stay in costume when none of them are? Why can’t I just change for my part? A young man in a tank top and shorts bustled past her, shouting to someone across the makeshift set. The park’s closed while we do this, and they- she shot a glance to her left, where a small cluster of Hosts in Confederate Army attire sat quietly awaiting instruction- won’t remember any of this anyway. She sighed and used both hands to lift her curls off of her neck, turning back to face Logan again. How is he not melting? 

Logan shifted his shoulders and tilted his head to the side, a teasing and mischievous grin playing on his face. He hadn’t spared a single layer, sporting a long sleeve button down under a blue-gray vest with silver fastenings and topped off with a period appropriate officer’s coat that hung halfway down his thigh. Even though she was less than pleased with the entire project, especially Logan’s insistence that she take part in it, she felt herself smile inwardly at the accessories that she knew he had chosen for himself- the brooch, the belt. He always goes all in, I’ll give him that. 

“What about this don’t you understand, Jules?” 

He sat up a little straighter, widening his legs so that the stamped lettering on the crate he sat atop could be read. DANGER NITRO. Except there was a large red X emblazoned over the second word, replacing it with the word NOT. He looked down at the crate, then back up at her, his long hair flopping over the artificial dirt smudges the makeup team had seen fit to smear across his forehead. A production assistant appeared at Logan’s side and handed him a sterling silver goblet and a glass bottle of Coca-Cola before touching their earpiece and hurrying off in the direction of the cameras. All of it? 

“I mean,” She began, gesturing at the props he held, the wooden box he was perched on, and the swarm of “Confederados” that was being led over to act as extras behind Logan. “How does any of this make sense? Coke wasn’t even a company until at least thirty years after the Civil War, for one, and...I don’t know, since when does Delos Destinations cross promote like this? Isn’t it...beneath us?”

“All’s fair in marketing,” he answered with a shrug, raising the bottle so that another assistant could come by and pop the aluminum cap off. He made sure to scoop it up from the ground before jogging back behind the cameras so that no wayward Host found it in a decade and spiraled into an existential crisis. “And those shitbrains at Pepsi decided to team up with fucking Hilton over us, even after I pitched the whole tie in with their dumbass new Nitro product line, so,” he took a sip of the ice-cold beverage and grinned through an exaggerated ah. “C’est la guerre!”    

Juliet rolled her eyes but gave in to the humor of the situation with a small exhale through her nose in the form of a laugh. At least he’s happy. I’m gonna kill him for making me do this, but- she smacked at another fly, aim true this time. Someone showed up at her elbow to escort her out of the shot until it was her turn to hop in, someone else shouting for quiet on the commercial set. She watched Logan put on his game face, the serious little folds in his brow that she knew were there were hidden by his mussed hair, but under the concentration she saw that little spark in his dark eyes, the one he got when he was closing in on a big deal or delivering the final blow to the competition with a brilliant ad campaign. But at least he’s happy.

Here's a quick, scribbly Logan to kick off the new sketchbook.

[the-blind-assassin-12]

HEY HEY HEY!!!

I have two more wonderful works of art that were sent my way by secret admirers (one’s a real doozy!) and they’ll both be up in the next few days, but I wanted to remind everyone that this will be an ongoing event like bottomless mimosas at brunch so please keep sending me brilliant art to write about!!

And artists! Not one of you sent me your own work! I’m gonna need y’all to love on yourselves a little here. Tell me what your favorite drawing/sketch/painting/sculpture/WHATEVER is or pick the creation you’re proudest of. You are all so talented and I wanna see you say it.

Calling all Ben Barnes Fandom Artists!

Lately I have just been FLOORED by the artwork that you all have been putting out. (no really, I end up on the floor more often than not due to the overwhelming talent that you all possess.) And as such, I wanted to do something for you to thank you for sharing your incredible sketches, paintings, digital art and other stunning creations.

But an artist I am not. I deal solely in words.

So I came up with an i d e a over the weekend while I was scrolling and repeatedly picking my jaw up from off the floor where it had dropped. Many times I’ve seen artists create something inspired by a fic that they read, or that someone else read and requested artwork for and I think that's one of the coolest things. Like, really and for true, that's just so grand.

But I haven't seen (and this doesn't mean it hasn't happened) a writer do the same for an artist. SO my i d e a was this:

If you are an artist in the BB fandom, send me your favorite piece in a message or submission, and I will write something short inspired by it.

It could be a poem, a snippet of dialogue, narration... Idk I haven't seen what you're sending me yet!

I'll post both your artwork and what I've written.

I want to do as many of these as possible because you guys are amazing and deserve it. You are welcome to send me more than one piece of artwork, however I want to spread the attention to any/all the artists who submit so it might take me a little while to get to your second (or third or twelfth) submission.

There's no time limit on this, I'll do it for as long as I get submissions and I'll try to post at least one of them a week if not more frequently.

NON ARTISTS CAN SUBMIT THEIR FAVORITE WORK BY AN ARTIST TO SURPRISE THEM TOO! I'll clear it with the artist before I post it but this could be a really fun way to surprise someone!

So there you have it. Thoughts? Artists weigh in, is this something you'd like? I just appreciate the heck out of you and want you all to know it.

[jmurhop]

Tried something...
