No, there was no way that this was Lucifer’s Great Engineer.
When the War breaks out, Aziraphale is sent to search for the angel responsible for the weapons the Morningstar uses. The encounter is far from what he'd expected.
@sassasafreeaction took the idea straight from my head and wrote it down better than I could've imagined it for the @do-it-with-style-events Good Omens Reverse Minibang. Go read [The Engineer and the Guardian]!
And thank you to the mods for the excellent (as always) organizing!
Summary: During the Great War, Aziraphale is sent to dispatch the Great Engineer, an infamous rebel angel who has been creating tools and weapons for Lucifer's army. He ventures out into the vastness of space to locate them, only to find an old acquaintance.
It was my pleasure to write this to go with the stunningly gorgeous art that Faalthien made for the DIWS Reverse Mini Bang. Please, PLEASE go check them out.
Have you ever wondered who are all the apocryphal saints?
He winces weakly, shaking his head, his curls bouncing about his ears. He holds out panicked hands, warding off the wash of humans as they all stare at him with divine blight, their faces all creased into love. Love that he cannot feel, cannot touch, cannot see.
"Not a Saint!" He yells as the crowd sweeps him away from the door. "Much the opposite!"
@grimboigio wrote an amazing fic to my silly little portrait idea for the @do-it-with-style-events reverse minibang, pleasepleaseplease go read [The Divine Shattering].
A gif of how the art looks in ligh/dark and some making notes below the cut! <3 (Image description in alt text)
I've been thinking about working with light (proper light, not the lousy one that I could paint) for a while, and I'm so happy I did it with this piece.
Also, the feeling of painting a whole piece then taking a knife and going at it? And with the added feeling of creating instead of destroying something? Fun.
Shoutout to grimboigio for the idea of adding gold to the rips near the eye, it made all the difference. And shoutout to the 3 people who'd helped me digitalise this:D
(leaving out the next prompt (romance) because both Cumplane and me are allergic to it) (free day is coming tomorrow, when I'm not wilting like a potted plant forgotten in a corner)
I mean. "Ruler" kinda includes an AU where SQH is Demon Emperor and SQQ is Nanmang-jun (南 for South and 莽 from 林莽 for 'jungle), his fearsome general controlling plants. (LBH-MBJ brainrot taking over)
Quote is from "How Can a Man Escape Life's Sorrow and Regret?" by Li Yu, which I think fits both SQH and LBH.
Here in this darkened temple, he was only Luo Binghe. A man, a boy, a pair of hands to light incense… Yes, here he was only Binghe—Xiu Ya’s most devoted believer.
GUYS: GUYS: I’M OBSESSED. I had the good luck of signing up for the @bingqiuminibang for the BingQiu Reverse Bang, and of Beelzebubble picking my AU, and THIS FIC?? IT’S SO GOOD. A TGCF AU with Shen sibs and excellent characterization. It also incorporates all of my accidental throwaway thoughts from my prompt, which is a feat.
[Go take a look on AO3!]
Thank you Beelzebubble and an enormous thanks to Zan for organizing the event!
Details under the cut. <3
(Please ignore the shitty quality, tumblr hates me.) (It also won’t let me put images next to each other. Who needs luxuries like that anyway!)
Fun fact: these were the first and second painted sketches.
*looks at all her ready stuff waiting to be posted* *shoves them under the bed*
I'm tired and a bit sick and I love this crybaby blackened sheep. And this is my blog so I can post whatever, even if that is a 2cm Binghe I doodled under someting else. There we go!
