“No,” I say. “I won’t do that.”
Simon shrinks from me. His hands fall to his lap. He looks anguished.
I loop his tail around my hand again and hold him everywhere tight. “No,”
I repeat. “I can touch you less gently, but I won’t love you less kindly.” (chapter 32)
“‘I told you [...] The spell.’ He sighs. ‘How I found you.’
It’s impossible to stay hidden from someone who loves you.
My knees buckle. He catches me before I can fall.”

Carry on Countdown | Day Thirteen: Shudder
This year I decided I wanted to honor the incredibly talented fic writers of this fandom, so I chose one fic per prompt to do an illustration for. I didn’t double up on authors so that I could do this for as many people as possible. I realized while planning this that there are way too many fics and authors that I love, and even after having picked 30 of what I consider some of my very favorites, I could have easily kept going. Please check the fics out if you haven’t, they all come highly recommended.
