'Maybe you and I are both damned, but we can choose to do something and leave it better than it was before.' This moment in ep 97 lives rent free in my mind forever, and I've been wanting to draw it ever since I first watched it live. I have so many feelings about these two, and their relationship over the course of the campaign (and beyond) means so much to me. While not yet fulfilled or entirely convinced of his own worth, at this point in the story, Caleb knows he’s on the right path. That alone is progress enough, but that he uses his own experiences to help another escape those same chains of guilt says such a lot for his development. When he tells Essek that his ‘venom’ was learned, he’s also talking about himself and his own history of being manipulated and gaslit, with the implication being that it can be un-learned just as efficiently. Essek describes himself as selfish and as a coward, forever putting his own wants and desires first, yet over the course of his journey with the Nein we see his priorities change drastically. Having friends gives him people to care about, something he’s never had before, and it changes his outlook on life completely.

I think it says so much about the other characters too, that they befriended this person they barely knew, and when he was revealed to have done such terrible things, their first reaction was to give him comfort and an opportunity to atone. Jester held his hand while he confessed, and afterwards, while they didn’t immediately forgive him, they saw the good in him and wanted him to be better, which ultimately feels like what the entire campaign was about, leaving places (and people) better than they found them.

They began their adventure wholeheartedly believing that they were both, in their own way incapable of love. But, in the end, no matter how damaged and guilt-stricken they were, they found in each other a kindred spirit, a path to redemption, and ultimately, love. Whether their relationship lasted for a couple of years or multiple decades is irrelevant, what matters is that while it did they had a happy and fulfilled life together. (tl;dr I just bloody love these two wizards you guys. T.T) Anyway, I finally decided to paint this scene earlier in the week, using my newfound favourite website Magic Poser Web to set up their poses for reference, then drew everything in Clip Studio Paint. I'm not 100% happy with some of it, ad the background isn't as I imagined it to be when I watched the stream, but it's close enough that I'm satisfied!

Morning Darling

Pairing: Stephen Strange x Reader

Warnings: Suggestive dialog

Summary: Stephen being soft and you loving on him. Sleepy cuddles

Stephen woke up first, yawning as he pulled your body closer to his chest. You laid practically on top of him, face buried against his neck and arms askew against his. One hand toyed with his hair, while the other gently cradled his own. "Y/n.." He whispered.

"Hmm..." Your hand tightened in his hair and your legs stretched against his. "Stephen go back to sleep..." Your hand started tracing the scars along his fingers.

"It's almost 9, sweetheart..." Stephen mumbled, subduing a yawn as you nuzzled his neck. Your grumpy response of a barely audible 'fuck the time' makes him laugh. "Sweetheart, darling, light of my liiiiife..."

"Stephen, let me sleep in..." You look up, your (Y/H/C) hair falling into your face unceremoniously. You're far from sleep, and he knows it.

"Hi." He leans forward and gives you a morning kiss on the forehead. You grumble but cup his jaw to kiss his lips. Its a slow kiss, with you melting into him as his arms come around you.

"You have to learn I don't like being woken up..." You chastise, before rolling off him and sitting up. Stephen laughed behind you, barely eager to wake up himself.

"Morning darling."
