A bit of fanart for @naffeclipse's Cryptid Sightings I haven't been able to stop thinking about 'The Episode Surrounded By Howls' so I had to draw something for it!

Bonus Moon & y/n because I adore how the patches turned out!

tags: fluff(?); lyney x gender neutral reader; very vague spoilers for the motifs present in lyney’s story quest (no plot points spoiled)

there's a little bit of magic falling in love with lyney. every day he has a new trick to show you—a sprig of baby's breath miraculously tucked into your collar before you head out the door, an elegant watch magicked onto your wrist right before your disbelieving eyes. When you ask him what his secrets are, Lyney just laughs, like a bell in the light spring breeze, and kneels down to kiss your hand. "A magician has to keep some of his secrets, my love! After all, you already know a fair few of them." Oh, what a tease—just as silver tongued and charming as the first time you met. “Aw- please, Lyney, don’t you trust me with your truths?” You half smile and half pout, arranging your features into your best pleading expression, and you can see your great magician giving in. 

"Ah, alright," and he's tapping his chin in mock thought, eyes twinkling, "since you asked so nicely, I suppose I can show you a couple more tricks, as an apology for my insincerity." Lyney winks, his serious act dropping in a flash, and you laugh as he pulls you towards the plush velvet couch. After he’s sure you’re comfortable, Lyney grows serious again, and you know the real show has begun. He pulls chocolates out of prop cards, bouquets from his hat, and, at your request, promises to pluck the stars from the sky to decorate your dreams, as a reminder of his love. His breezy solemnity makes you laugh, but you wouldn’t doubt Lyney’s word. It’s so easy to love him, and almost as easy to believe his magician’s world of dazzling stunts and marvelous tricks. But underneath all his glamorous charm and beyond the brilliant light of his performances, the hand that holds yours is quite warm, quite solid, and quite real. So too is his quiet admiration when you talk excitedly about your passions, and his eagerness to learn about your world. When you're together, there are no facades obscuring his earnest fondness for you—it’s one of the few truths of Lyney’s life. He hasn’t yet told you many things, but you don’t seem to mind as much as he expected. Smart as you are, you’ve already guessed at some of his secrets, yet you still place in him all your faith, all of your affection. Someday, maybe he can also learn to give himself wholly—without reservation. After all, you are one of his unwavering truths, and him? He’s your fantastical, wondrous everyday magic.

—YOU & ME; MOONLIT SCENE (0-1)

[ but I know you ]

“You’re awfully excited,” The prefect whispers, eyes wide behind cracked lens.

The taller boy grins, cracked lips stretching to reveal missing teeth; it’s charming, in an off-putting way. The boy tilts his head to the side, his glasses nearly rolling off his nose and revealing his blood-orange eyes. He offers a hand to Dinah.

“How could I not be…?! It’s the most perfect time of the year.” The boy hums dreamily, his voice quiet to match the blond’s. It’s clear that it isn’t his natural volume, and the gentle gesture is appreciated.

Dinah nods shakily, blond locks draping over his glasses; his headband snapped on the way here. Hesitantly, the prefect places his hand in the pale stranger’s, and gets pulled to his feet instantly.

“Don’t tell me you’re not a fan?” The boy’s words flutter down to Dinah, and the ramshackle prefect realizes just how vastly different their heights are. Dinah cranes his head upwards, the cool metal rims of his glasses press against his face; they provide little solace in his new environment.

“I…” Dinah isn’t quite sure where to begin. This is supposed to be his first Halloween in Twisted Wonderland, a hauntingly exciting day to spend with friends and acquaintances. And yet, here he stands with moonlight as the only familiarity.

Dinah shakes his head, not minding that his hand is still in the stranger’s hold. “I’m worried, this year…?” His words are choppy—he’s had Halloween before back at home, right? “I’m… Alone, right now. Scared, to be honest.”

"Scared?"

His smile is warm but odd; Dinah has never seen this face before.

The boy presses his glasses up his face, hiding his eyes once more. His fingertips drift to his chest as he leans down, placing a kiss upon Dinah's gloved hand.

"Your fear is most appreciated, a true harbinger of the Halloween spirit...!"

"Yet," his voice drops, and he shifts his hand in Dinah's until their palms are flush. "The fear you hold isn't quite right."

"Won't you allow me to twist it to perfection?"

i keep going back and forth because on the one hand, i feel like gortash should be in his 40s. but on the other i keep noticing the text calling him young, so maybe he's supposed to be in his 30s? but then whenever he's called young it usually seems like it's in comparison to whoever he's with (a "younger man" than ketheric, a "young man" compared to gut, called "young gortash" by balthazar). according to karlach he also looks basically the same as he did 10 years ago so he could be in his 30s and just aged early or he could be in his 40s or older and just not changed much between then and now. hm

THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGING THESE TWO AND WHAT LIMBO DID TO THEM, and yeah fair enough reason for not inviting them, they absolutely would try and kill him and with good reason. I was kinda annoyed we had two summers with them not appearing at all, or even being mentioned, even though we’re facing off against Douman, and Danzou is the one person he’s directly hurt more than anyone else, so why is she continuously ignored?

Like I wasn’t expecting too much after she was largely ignored in the main chapter that should have been focused on her with it being the conclusion to her intertwined arc with Limbo but still, never forget he fucked with her mind, put the curse of annihilation in her, forced her body against her will to attempt to kill her new companions including her son (all while mocking her) blew her up (killing her and taking out Musashi’s eye) before going after her servant self, implanting a virus to restore part of her memory for the express purpose of learning what she cherishes most and letting her be more human so she can truly suffer when he crushes her son to a bloody pulp in front of her (and he outright tells her all this!), and seems to be following through on that in Heian-kyo, as Sion detects they’re the only two Servants being invited in! (Too bad that Heian-kyo half assed her story though, idk just cause she’s unpopular or what but still.)
