devil of yours (savior of mine)

my final piece for this year's @grishaversebigbang!!! this was for a wonderful fic by @loneswaggingranger, a canon divergent fic where wylan gets kidnapped by kaz brekker and it ends up being the best thing that's ever happened to him. definitely heed the tags and trigger warnings, it's heartwrenching but a really, really good read.

the other artists i had the joy of working with were:

@pocketsizedquasar, whose piece you can find here

and @calicoquinn, whose piece you can find here (link pending)

the fic was also beta read by @gimmedafood!

maybe that's all that we are

(for @grishaversebigbang 2023!)

[...]

When it’s just her in here, the whole room is still with empty space—from the back rows of the stage to the top of the balcony, to the high ceiling adorned with tiny crystalline lights. They’re like a thousand stars adorning the night sky. 

Zoya almost feels small. Insignificant when she sits there, alone. Yet when she plays, she fills the whole room with the opening chords of a Casedesus concerto. And when she lifts the bow off of the string, the melody echoes.

The Jesper Fahey Foolproof guide to getting your friends to fall in love™

written for the grishaverse big bang 2023 (@grishaversebigbang)! Pleasure to work on a lighthearted fic for a change of pace ^^ thank you sm to yaalni (@bloodyrakshasi ) for betaing the fic, and please go check the absolutely stunning works of accompanying artists :)

"Wait, no, that’s it. That’s perfect,” Jesper says, and everyone turns to look at him. “What if we use like - what’s the term - reverse psychology?” Jesper pauses, for additional appropriate gravitas (as though everyone in the table isn’t already looking at him with varying degrees of shock, horror, or scheming.)

“What if we still say it straight - but to the opposite person - tell Inej that Kaz likes him and Kaz that Inej likes him,” he finishes, triumphant.

The table quiets down, before interrupting into a series of loud whispers borderlining on shouts, before quieting down again as everyone mulls over the idea.

All in all, Jesper thinks, it’s a pretty promising reaction.

-

When even the imminent departure of Inej cannot prompt either her or Kaz to confront their feelings and cross the invisible line the two of them have been toeing for entirely too long, Jesper and the rest of their friends decide to take matters into their own hands with the help of PowerPoint transitions, nosy partners, and perhaps the entirety of Ketterdam University.

Alternatively, the faked into dating AU, wherein Jesper learns that perhaps he's not as good a matchmaker as he thought he was.

The hallways part like a sea before them, whispers following them as the 6 (well 7 really, but no one's terrified of Wylan even with the rest of them surrounding him) skulking figures stalk down the hallway, leaving behind the principal's ajar door in their wake. 

All in all, it's a pretty normal day for Kaz Brekker and the crows, really. 

"You'd think we'd robbed the school ourselves at the rate the students are avoiding us." 

Jesper laughs merrily, throwing a friendly arm over Inej's shoulder.

"Relax, Nej. Besides, it's not like you're going to be here in this shithole much longer anyway!"

Inej lets out a tinkling laugh, lips momentarily turning up at brief levity - before she purses them again, turning around to address the rest of them.

"Alright, enough moping around about inevitable change - don't think I've noticed some people in particular practically avoiding me since the trip was announced."

Though the rest of their group tries their level best (which is to say, not at all) to hide their snickers - it's pretty obvious who the message is directed at. After all, there's only one person whom Inej would never bother to hesitate to call out so publicly - only one person whom Inej would never forget to look out for. 

To his own credit, Kaz looks away non committedly, before hefting his bag slightly higher. 

"If you forget to collect your dance shoes from the studio, I don't even think I'd be able to stop Baghra from keeping you here."

Imej hums before walking next to him.

"Fair enough. But you know that I'd stay if you asked me to."

A tension fills between the two of them, filled with unspoken possibilities. 

"I think I'd eventually learn how to handle my accounts on my own, thanks." 

The both of them shrug, turning away from each other, though the tense look on both of their faces tells a very different story.

The fact of the matter is this - no matter how much Inej wishes, Kaz wouldn't dare take away everything Inej has worked for - even if that meant depriving them of something that both of them wanted so badly.

Eventually, Inej shakes herself and joins Kaz, currently facing forward, an impenetrable stone wall of emotion. Together, they tentatively begin talking again about a topic that's too quiet for the rest of them to hear and enclose themselves in a bubble of their own - disappearing into the winding hallways.

Grishaverse Big Bang 2023 - For them time is the only consolation (Fanart)

This is a story of loss, and a story of love.

This is Nina's story.

My art for @poeticor's entry of GVBB23! (@grishaversebigbang)

I worked along @pocketsizedquasar and @wicked-books-101, who did the other illustrations.

I decides to find inspiration in one of Michelangelo's Pietà, and this is the final result. I'm particularly happy with how the colors turned out.

Grishaverse Big Bang 2023 - For them time is theonly consolation

i had such a great time working on this piece for this year's big bang (@grishaversebigbang)and working with the amazing artists @eclypseaf @pocketsizedquasar and @wicked-books-101. The piece I did this year was meant to follow in a memory snapshot way through the people Nina had lost taking place in the fall of Os Alta (I swear it makes a more sense) the title is taken from the book frankenstien which is where i got my main inspiration for this

Devil of yours (Saviour of mine)

My entry for the Grishaverse Big Bang 2023. Had a blast, thanks for organising this @grishaversebigbang​

Rating: Mature 

Summary:

The Devil tsked. “If I am to be housing you, I need to know if the payoff will be worth it." The Devil walked closer towards him, cane thumping ominously. “So tell me, merchling, are you worth my while?” "I wouldn’t presume to tell you what your while's worth, sir.” Wylan’s throat constricted. “But I do have other uses." The Devil raised an eyebrow. "Pray tell." or In which Wylan highly recommends being kidnapped by your father’s worst enemy.

2023 Reading Goals

Goals for 2023:

i. Read the Unread. I'm living back at home this year aka in the same flat as all my unread physical books (currently around 78 on the shelves--I don't dare to count how many more are in my e-reader). I've often set the goal to read some of them and have then utterly failed at it, but I'll give it the old college try again. The goal is to read at least 10-12 by end of year. DONE mainly because I read SVSSS and MDZS which are several volumes each.

ii. Do a reading challenge. An old pal used to create reading challenges in the past and they made my reading more diverse. The magic of randomness (choose a book with a red cover, for instance, or a book set in a forest) somehow always led to some stunning books I wouldn't have chosen otherwise. (I created something similar about fanfic a few years ago and I ended up reading truly outstanding fics.) Browsing through 2023 challenges online, I found nothing that worked for me so I created my own! I'll use it to make my selections more playful, to step out of my reading comfort zone, and to motivate me to reach goal #1. DONE

iii. Finish the Unfinished. I've had a serious problem of not completing things in the past several years: either my WIPs or book series that I began and never finished (and not because I lost interest). It's why reading the entirety of the series mentioned in my book wrap-up post was such a big deal. Hoping to use that momentum forward, I want to reread and complete all the series I stopped halfway through: The Poppy War, Darker Shades of Magic, Temeraire, The Dreamer Trilogy, Lymond (ffs!), How to Bang a Billionaire, the Witcher books, the Amberlough Dossier, the Nikolai duology (Grishaverse). oof! so many MOSTLY DONE, IM V PLEASED

I'm also halfway through my chronological read of Discworld and I'd like to read about 4-5 books; slow and steady progress for that one.

That should keep me busy for a while :))
