My drawing for my carry on big bang collaboration with @dragoneggos! I’ve been reading along as she’s worked on her snowbaz beauty and the best au “storm the castles” since January, and decided to draw this gorgeous scene! Draggoneggos is an amazing author and I love a lot of her stories,

Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate! After a rotten Friday at the animal shelter where I work, I got a very pleasant surprise yesterday when a pregnant stray who came in gave birth to five live and healthy kittens! I might share some pics later on :) In the meantime, thank you @forabeatofadrum and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe for the tags this morning, as well as everyone else who’s continued to tag me on other days. I’ve been pretty slow writing lately, but I do have some shares this week!

First, a bit of kid!Baz POV from my COBB:

In the afternoons, I do my homework as soon as we get home and sometimes call my father. He never has much to say. I’ll offer to help Dev with his work and then water the herbs in the conservatory, reminding myself of the names and uses of each one. Dogtooth violet to stop gossip, bay leaves for wish making and prophetic dreams. Tarragon for confidence, St. John’s Wort to stave off colds and fevers. Basil can drive off dark spirits. I rub the leaves between my fingers, remembering Ebb’s lessons as the fresh summer scent breaks across my skin. “Basil can dispel confusion, boys. It turns back fear and weakness, and is used in exorcisms. Carry it with you to protect yourselves from danger, or spread it on the ground to keep away evil. It’s also sometimes used to bring lovers together.” Dev had elbowed me and sniggered, because of course we both associate the herb with my name. I don’t see how any of it relates to me, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s just what I’m called.

And the next is from a sequel I suddenly started writing to Field Trip of Dreams (god I still hate that that’s the title I gave it). I wouldn’t say it’s necessary to read the first fic, although it gives context for the fact that Baz and Simon are dating in eighth year, and everyone but the Mage knows it. It’s a longish share, but I’m enjoying writing so have it:

“Isolation Cabin?” Basilton is repeating in disbelief. His eyes narrow. “But Sir, whatever will we do if we get to talking and discover we were separated at birth?”

Simon understandably pales, but Davy merely snorts and waves a dismissive hand. “Unlikely, Mr. Pitch. Now, both of you grab your rucksacks while I conjure a bird to lead you to the cabin. It’s…out of the way.”

The rest of the students are in fits, but of course Davy doesn’t notice. He pays attention to nothing and nobody when he thinks he’s in the right. Simon has shouldered his own pack and is staring into the middle distance, refusing to look at anyone. Of course, Natasha Pitch’s son has to get in one last dig: “What’s next, a get-along shirt?”

Basilton’s unimpressed expression is fooling no one—I know blessed well that he’d only love that. “Davy,” I try one last time. “This weekend is supposed to be providing these students with a chance to learn how to get along as a community of mages. Splitting two of them off will deprive them of the chance—”

“Miss Possibelf.” I suppose it’s amusing that after all these years Davy doesn’t dare use my first name. “I know what I’m doing. Boys this age need a firm hand—” How does he not hear the sniggering going on behind him? “—and I’ve had just about enough.” After seven years. Seven years, and he’s had enough? Davy finally acknowledges me enough to turn and lower his voice. “Quite frankly, one of them has nothing to learn about survival, while the other doesn’t need to.” This last part is said in a hushed whisper, even though from the way Basilton’s eyebrow lifts, I’m certain he heard it.

I share his disdain for the sentiment, however, I’m not particularly concerned about his chances—here, or anywhere else. “Fine,” I snap, throwing my hands up. It’s not as though this trip isn’t always an annual excuse for all kinds of unsanctioned…exploration. Simon and Basilton aren’t likely to get up to anything they haven’t already, and I have bigger fish to fry given the amount of alcohol students traditionally smuggle on this fool’s exercise. David Cadwallader can be as blind as he likes, but some of us are left nursing the hangovers.

Strictly Professional

Salisbury blinks. Feeling my hand on his cheek, he flicks his eyes over to find me, gaze searching.

I hold still, unable to break the moment.

He looks extra golden, as though glowing with some kind of inner light.

A small smile plays about his mouth, a fondness coming into his eyes.

It’s too tender, too intimate for what we are to each other—or, what we should be.

Delighted to announce my COBB 2023 collab with @palimpsessed!! Check out the delicious there-was-only-one-bed Normal AU on AO3 here.

Simon lifted his shaking hand, pointing the switchblade at the man slowly backing away. “That man—He—The cabinet—” Simon stumbled over his words, unable to get a coherent sentence out. Ebb’s gaze followed the pointed tip of the blade, but as she turned back to him, her brows only creased with worry as she slightly shook her head. “Simon, calm. There’s no one there,” she said, her voice meek as lowered his hand. “What, no—He—” As Simon’s gaze snapped back to where the man had just stood, all he had been met with was an empty kitchen.

Simon is a down on his luck twenty year old, struggling to survive on the streets after he was thrown out of the orphanage with no higher education or a job to fall back on. So, when he stumbles onto an ad, promising a handyman job at the Pitch Manor, one that offers him not only money but also a place to stay, Simon takes it without a second thought. But as he begins his work for David Cadwallader, the owner of the estate, things quickly begin going sideways; the house is never quiet, groaning at night as if it is alive, lamps lighting up with no one around, and most unsettling of all, a ghostly figure that seems intent on scaring Simon into an early grave.

A massive massive thank you goes out to Pal, who created incredible art for the first chapter, as well as the cobb mods for putting this entire even together. Putting this together has been a pleasure :)

COBB Hockey Fic is HERE

At long last, @dohrnaira and I get to share what we've been working on... well at least the first few chapters.

@dohrnaira has been so fun to work with and I had a blast getting to know them and chit-chatting about anything and everything when our hours aligned.

Thank you COBB @carry-on-big-bang mods for once again making sure we stayed on task and behaved. I know it's hard and I truly appreciate it.

I'll be posting chapters every other week after this.

Enjoy!

All I Ever Wanted was the World

A @carry-on-big-bang 2023 collab with @yellobb. View the full (amazing!) art here.

Simon finds himself at the Wank of England, Vauxhall’s infamous gay pub. Ruled by drag queen Baz Pitch aka Tyra Fangs, and staffed by lovable queer misfits, many lost souls have found themselves within its dark walls. But Simon’s not just another lost soul, and Baz is more than the sparkling gowns he wears as armour, and together they may build something better than a place to grab a pint.

It's hockey art time!

I had the honor to be the artist for the amazing fic Sugar, we're going down swingin' by the wonderful @prettygoododds written for the @carry-on-big-bang!

I had a blast reading her work, doodling octopi and looking up hockey gear :) so I'm planning to keep on drawing for the following chapters!

Thanks to the mods for organizing the event, it was my first time participating and it went swimmingly (skatingly?)!

Illustrations for Chapter 1

And Chapter 2

Happy Sunday everyone! Thank you for the tags today @nausikaa and @youarenevertooold, and everyone who’s tagged me in the past week! There’s so much good work being done right now!

I’m still working on the next chapter of my CORB story, but I’ve begun work on my COBB collaboration and will share a few more than six sentences today—I’m not entirely sure if I’m off on the right foot. I’m hoping the whole thing will look better when I’m finished 🤞

They’ve gone racing across the lower field just now, Dev pulling Baz by the hand, crowns of wild flowers winding around their heads. That will have been Baz’s doing; Dev may have made a start on his, but he’s not got the patience to have finished it, not so that it would hold together at least. They throw themselves down on their backs in the plush green clover, Baz facing north and Dev south, heads on each other’s shoulders as they stare up at the sky. I can just make out their small faces, laughing and serious by turns as they whisper in each other’s ears. What I wouldn’t give to be that young and resilient again!

I’m happy they’re close. I’m happy that in the midst of their darkest hours, they’ve each had a hand to cling tight to. I know well enough how much they’ll need someone to depend on as they grow.

And that’s it for now!

Aaaaand, the secret is out! Allow me to introduce to you, a collaboration with the brilliant @moments-au-crayon22, for the @carry-on-big-bang 2023!

Threads of Fate

Aristocratic_Otter, sour_cherry_22

Summary:

Summary: We’ve all read of how soulmates can find each other; the red string of fate, the wrist timer, finally seeing colour, the shared song…but what about the first person to find their soulmate? The creator of that original soulmate spell? Simon Snow is having zero luck developing an 8th year spell. So he’s elated when he casts “Threads of Fate,” and something actually happens. But when the spell creates a thread that leads him right to his nemesis, he’s not so sure what he’s created is actually a good thing. When trying again results in everyone in the World of Mage having a string that ties them to someone else, he wonders: did his spell tie him and Baz together because they are fated to fight to the death? Or could there be another reason?

A collaboration for the @carry-on-big-bang 2023.

Author: @palimpsessed

Artist: @knitbelove

Rating: Explicit

Tags:

There Was Only One Bed, Strangers to Lovers, Meet Cute, Bed Sharing, Smut, Normal AU, Simon is a Salisbury Because I Said So

Summary:

Basilton Pitch and Simon Salisbury are brand new co-workers attending a professional conference together. They are also sharing a room, for reasons. And a bed, also for reasons. But it's a professional conference, and they're both professionals.

Obviously they can ignore the instant attraction that sparks between them.

Obviously nothing untoward is going to occur.

Obviously.

Aster & Narcissus

Chapter Three of the Lore Olympus AU is up!

Click here to read on AO3: Link

This is a collaboration for @carry-on-big-bang where @theearlgreymage wrote the story and I made the art.

Chapter Three is exciting as we get the backstory of Persephone!Baz.

I got to this moment and I had to stop and draw it. I love the interplay between Natasha and Baz as she teaches him to use his magic. And Natasha is a fantastic Demeter!

Of course, then I went back to reading and wanted to draw what comes next, lol. But the pull of Lil Baz was too strong!

And I just want to take a moment to appreciate the colours Rachel Smythe uses for her characters. Half the fun has been c l o s e l y looking at the panels of the web comic.
