My piece for notkingyet’s (@notkingyet2) fantastic story ‘Spoke and Wheel’ of our favourite steward turned Lieutenant Jopson as part of the @theterrorbigbang event! The story contemplates relationships forged through peril, with our dear steward at the helm: striving to heal and serve, as is his duty.

Please check out the notkingyet’s glorious work here

Thank you to the moderators at @theterrorbigbang for this opportunity of collaboration <3

At the End of the World, With You

My second pairing for the Terror Big Bang, this time illustrating a Pacific Rim AU written by @lieutdreadhands and bringing you all your Bridglar needs this summer

[theterrorbigbang]

After the unexpected dead of his partner, Billy Orren, Henry Collins accepts a job as the caretaker of an isolated Victorian manor in the countryside, currently undergoing renovations. At first, everything's alright: he settles into the house and his responsibilities, takes walks and makes new friends among the builders and the estate's attorney, John Bridgens. Things get better, he starts to heal.

That’s when the ghosts appear.

Lucky for him, his uni friend Johnny Hartnell’s little brother, Tom, and his best friend, Harry Peglar, have recently broken away from a famous ghost hunting YouTube channel and are looking for a good project to start anew.

It was an absolute delight and I feel very lucky to have illustrated for my first @theterrorbigbang with the wonderful orchis @bloomrebounds for her fic Baby, if you wake up in the middle of the night it’s a great fun read and you should definitely check it out 🩷

[theterrorbigbang]

My piece for @theterrorbigbang !! I was so excited to draw for this fic by the lovely In This Dark World And Wide by @antiqua-lugar

Francis could not stop smiling. Oh, it was still all at the back of his mind - the multiple scans needed on Terror, Mr. Bridgens’ report on emergency provisions, three calls to the families, Franklin lying in the infirmary of the Deep Space 9, a meeting to be set with the Bajoran gods, three scientific divisions who needed to collaborate under the supervision of Scientific Coordinator James Fitzjames, the future crew of Erebus who was training on Terror under the supervision of Ops and Gunnery Coordinator Francis Crozier - but just for tonight, they could simply sit and look at the stars. To think that only a couple of hours ago he had dreaded Starfleet’s call so much that he would have rather been at an official reception listening to Fitzjames tell stories about his time on the Enterprise.

In which The Terror meets Deep Space 9 as Starfleet launches their first fully exploratory mission in the Delta quadrant. Their first mission, to determine if an unknown planet could serve as Starfleet’s base for the construction of their first space station in the quadrant.

Oh? Someone’s too tired from an amazing athletic feat to shower off the sweat and dirt from said feat? 🥰

Showering together in a non sexual manner is just. So nice.

For @clandestinegardenias and mine fic “Love, Match” from the @theterrorbigbang

James has one hell of a week. First his tennis coach dies unexpectedly during a Wimbledon match, then his new coach (who he has a crush on) is doing first aid in compromising positions

For @clandestinegardenias and mine @theterrorbigbang fic “Love, Match” 🎾💞

That is a tomorrow that is now today!

Summary: If the ocean weren’t frozen over, though, they wouldn’t be out this far afield from the ships they’d been stranded on for nearing a year; they would be only a mile or so ahead, piloting Terror and Erebus through the ice labyrinth of the North and forging the last link between East and West, or towing them, should it prove necessary to do. This was what he had been sent for, he and Aurora and Walter and Ulysses, and now it was time to fulfill their orders.

In 1845, two Royal Navy ships and two Aerial Corps dragon crews left England in an attempt to finally discover a navigable passage through the Arctic. In 1847, Captain James Fitzjames struggles to shield his dragon from the fallout of a failing Expedition. In 1849, at a meeting of the Admirals of the Air, Captain James Fitzjames of Her Majesty’s Dragon Aurora recounts the events of the disastrous Franklin Expedition to determine if he will be court-martialed for the loss of HMD Ulysses with all hands aboard. The truth lies lost on the ice, somewhere in the middle.

My entry for @theterrorbigbang is live today! A Temeraire universe fusion where James gets a dragon, the dragons get cold, and Fairholme just really never had a shot. Featuring stunning art from the lovely and skilled @noughticalcrossings! 

[theterrorbigbang]

James is past his prime as a professional tennis player, and somehow manages to go all the way to the Wimbledon finale! Not that the way there is in any way easy. Or his relationship with his new coach and long time crush Francis

“Love, Match” is the fic @clandestinegardenias and I worked on for @theterrorbigbang and I’ll be posting the rest of the art this week 🩷

[theterrorbigbang]

For my very first The Terror Big Bang I had the honour to illustrate Loss, In Some Measure, a Fitzconte Brokeback Mountain AU by @jamesjamesonfitzjames .

James’s smile seemed tense, if well practiced, and Dundy wasn’t sure how he was meant to parse it, if it was meant to be parsed at all. “Yeah, that’s good.” He stuck his thumb in the center of his chest. “Not me, no sir. I’ll be a bachelor until the day I die, if I get my way.”

The calculating part of Dundy assumed that was probably true.

He had the sense and manners not to say it out loud.

If you've become curious, head this way :-)

In just ONE DAY!! my fic (with stunning art from @noughticalcrossings !!) for @theterrorbigbang will go live, so here's a snippet from my phone drafts that didn't make it into the fic as a teaser!

The Ao3 collection for this year's Bang can be found here and is full of some really excellent fic! You should check it out!

[theterrorbigbang]

"It wasn't you who cursed us."

In a world where magic is relatively commonplace if not particularly scientifically studied, amateur curse breaker in addition to anatomist Harry Goodsir joins the Franklin Expedition and finds a rare friend and kindness in Billy Orren. He doesn't notice he only sees Billy at night in the company of a large black dog, and awkwardly interacts with Henry Collins and his apparently trained osprey in the day.

For my first @theterrorbigbang I got the pleasure of illustrating Three Poor Mariners by the lovely @meduseld, a Goodsir/Collins\Orren Ladyhawke AU crafted with much love for the Erebites and great attention to detail (and the best throuple cuddles and fun symbolism and some amazingly atmospheric fantasy scenes). Go check it out >:3

[theterrorbigbang]

Three Poor Mariners

My Terror Big Bang fic @theterrorbigbang Magic AU is here with incredible art from @multiiocular-mushroom

Harry Goodsir, anatomist and amateur curse breaker, joins the Franklin Expedition for both science and adventure. He doesn’t expect to fall in love, much less that doing so might save them all.

Read the fic here

[theterrorbigbang]

keep an eye out, @clandestinegardenias and mine Big Bang drops in three days and so will the rest of this

[theterrorbigbang]

TIS IS HERE!!

me and the wonderful mxjopsonfan bring you on this very fine day our collaboration for this year’s @theterrorbigbang

The Life I Needed All Along is a story about two transmasc sailors, john bridgens and henry peglar (and later one tom hartnell) finding each other and finding home. if you’d like a sweet, tender (and sexy!!) story about self-recognition and self-acceptance through another, trans joy and building a home together after horrible events, then we have just the thing for you!!

as a slight warning, for understandable reasons we decided for henry to have an original design here. he’s a tiny menace and we love him dearly (and hope you do too!)

don’t forget to leave kudos and comments!! also there’s an extra illustration only on ao3 because tumblr won’t let me show peglar booty!!
