I was tagged by the queen of WIPs herself - @tragediegh. Thanks for the tag, friend! Always fun to see what's lurking in the WIP folder/notebook.

I want to write more fic but since I mostly make comics, most of my WIPs are actually comic scripts so I figured I could include those as well.

Fic | "The Overstory Chronicles" - longfic exploring the early days of Erek and Detozi meeting in Trehaug.

Fic | "A Foolish Arrangement" - a TM-era Flowers™ fix-it fic.

Fic | Untitled modern AU in which Fitz pursues comedy instead of going to therapy - this concept is so stupid and makes me laugh so hard.

Comic | Farseer-era Pacey comic where Lacey slips and says "My Love" instead of "My Lady." However will Patience react????

Comic | AU where Fitz, Beloved, Molly and Bee are a FAMILY (..:

Comic | Mirroring-POV of Fitz and Beloved back when they were little kids and being so so loved (.....:

Comic | Nettle + Riddle being all cute and in love.

Comic | Jek arm wrestling her way through the Paragon and leaving queer awakenings in her wake.

I'm running on too-little sleep to think of folks to tag so consider this an open invitation for anyone who'd like to participate. I'd love to see what you're working on!!

The prompt this week on the rote discord server is "Unfinished Business" so of course I took the opportunity to draw Small Ferret.

It was an absolute delight to draw Small Ferret in all his throat ripping glory.

Chivarly's man

Yeeah, I have had this sitting in my WIPs for ages and seems that I won't be finishing it. So I'm calling it. Still shirtless prince Chivarly might cheer up someone from the pack?

My commissions are open. If you would like me to draw you something like this, feel free to contact me here on pm, via e-mail sonjavart(at)gmail.com, or on my Ko-Fi. Price listings are on my Ko-Fi, and if you don’t see what you like, feel free to inquire for a quote or other details. Relevant info and links in my pinned post also.

Super quick assassin’s apprentice sketches from my reread…literally cannot go one chapter without being possessed by the art demons

Hello I Am Majorly Indecisive

But it's not my fault because @sprout-fics decided to drop some ~teasers~ about Rotes Mädchen and it made my brain go BRRRRRRRRR so I spit out

BIG changes to all covers just for more contrast and detail, and added titles so we can See™ what the piece would look like as a cover.

These are all probably gonna end up as illustrations, but Emma said she's most in love with Option 3, so....

Poll will stay up cos I wanna determine which one I should do first -- it's like picking a favorite kid.

WIP "Wednesday"

Living legend @tragediegh tagged me to share a snippet of something I'm working on! Surprise, surprise: I'm still chipping away at my pre-Fool's Errand fic wherein Liveship chronology is dismantled entirely so that Beloved can rush to the cabin to care for Fitz who is, as always, Going Through It. Here's a fun little scene of The Pack snuggling after a rough night.

When Fitz wakes again, it is nearing midday. He blinks blearily, eyes gritty and sore from the night’s weeping. His head is pillowed on the Fool’s chest, and the golden man’s elegant fingers run through his hair, unraveling it from its tight plait. The wolf lounges against his back. There is a supreme sense of safety here, bracketed between them. Fitz feels small; is loath to move ever again.  I thought we were not supposed to lay in bed all day, Fitz observes. The Fool’s other arm is snaked under Fitz’s neck and his hand rests companionably on the wolf’s ruff. This is different, Nighteyes answers wisely. Because you are enjoying it?, Fitz jests. But the wolf is earnest in his reply. Because this is time with pack. All are enriched.  Fitz hums, considering this. The Fool shifts under him and lays his gloved palm sweetly against Fitz's temple. "What are you two talking about?," he murmurs, his voice rumbling Fitz’s ear.  "Normally, Nighteyes would not wish for me to be abed so long," Fitz explains, tilting his head so he can see the sharp edge of the Fool’s jaw. "But he’s allowing it this time. It’s good for the pack to spend time together." Nighteyes grumbles in agreement, shifting closer to Fitz.  "The pack," the Fool echoes, his voice strange.  "The three of us," Fitz agrees sleepily. He feels nearly drunk on their nearness, on the touch all around him. Moves in slow, unthinking ways toward the warmth of it, like a flower turning toward the sun. His arm is draped over the Fool’s waist and he tightens his grip there. The Fool stills, seems to hold his breath. Then, tentatively, he slides his hand back into the wild black curls, raking his fingertips against Fitz’s scalp and locking him in place against his chest. Under his ear, Fitz hears the thundering of the Fool’s heartbeat. The rushing sound lulls him and he drifts again, though the long lines of the tawny man’s body remain alert and watchful, his grip resolute. Like he's bracing for someone to wrest Fitz from his arms at any moment. Eventually Nighteyes grows impatient and hungry. The Scentless One’s sense of me grows, the wolf informs Fitz proudly. Observe. He proceeds to think very fixedly of ginger cakes: how much he’d like one and how wise and clever the Fool is for making them so well, and wouldn't he like to make some soon? Fitz buries his smile in the soft fabric of the Fool's tunic. After a few minutes of this, the Fool murmurs, "Are you hungry, dear one? Shall I make us a very late breakfast?" Fitz startles him by barking out a laugh. Behind him, the wolf rolls onto his back, tongue lolling, immensely pleased with himself. The Fool rises onto one elbow, displacing Fitz into his lap, and looks between them in consternation. While Fitz, still chuckling, does his best to explain, the Fool levels Nighteyes with evaluating stare, one brow raised. But his eyes are dancing, and the corner of his mouth curls up and up, despite his efforts to look stern. In one lithe movement, the wolf flips onto his feet and licks the side of the Fool’s face. To Fitz’s surprise, the Fool blushes and then slides his eyes over to meet his own. "I have been trying," he allows. "I flatter myself that I hear him better than before." Fitz assures him that the wolf agrees, and the Fool preens extravagantly, bending to peck Nighteyes on the top of his head. Then he vaults from the bed in a graceful leap and declares grandly, "Ginger cakes, ho!" and capers into the kitchen with the wolf prancing at his heels.

If you see this and are working on something that you're eager to share, please please do so! Thank you for reading ily <3 <3

Thank you for the tag @tragediegh!

I don't have all that many WIPs, and since I can be very fickle with projects, some of these might never see the light of the day. But here is my current list:

A Roomful of Memories - angsty oneshot set during Fool’s Quest

Before Dawn Rises - a sequel to After The Sun Has Set

Burrich AU - yet another post-Fool’s Fate AU, but this time Burrich survives

Nighteyes - Nighteyes POV oneshot set during the cabin era

Smutty smut - self-explanatory

LG/TB - another smut fic

Against Fate - AU in which Burrich refuses to let Fitz move up to the castle and takes him to Chivalry instead

Pretty sure most of my writer mutuals have been tagged already so I won’t bother tagging anyone this time.
