New idea: instead of writing the fic, you come over to my house and I tell you the entire plot while I pace my tiny kitchen. There’s a cup of tea, warm in your hands. The words don’t stop and the affection never leaves your expression.

Ruhn Danaan has suffered abuse at the hands of his father for his entire life, and has tattoos to cover up the physical scars so that nobody asks questions… THESE SCARS ARE ALL OVER HIS BODY.!!! It’s not like he has one or two tats, these are all over his entire body, covering up so much that even his own sister never noticed until the Asteri out him in front of everyone.! Lidia was the only person he even talked to about this kind of stuff and even then he was just hinting at things…
This scene from “Landscape With A Blur of Conquerors” (chapter 56) by @kylorenvevo got me so hard I had to draw it 😭
Here’s the excerpt:
“I’m your family,” Kylo said before he could think better of it. Rey blinked up at him with red-rimmed hazel eyes; he closed his, embarrassed by his own boldness, and he pressed their foreheads together as his next words emerged in a gruff murmur alongside her wet cheek. “We’re married. I can be your family.” We can start over. We won’t make the same mistakes.
Rey began crying even harder, and it was with a sinking sensation in the pit of his stomach that Kylo realized he had somehow made things worse. Is that so much of a surprise? inquired his bitter inner voice. You are a paltry substitute for all that she has lost.
But there was nothing he could do except hold her for as long as she let him. And she did, until all of her tears were spent.
Sadly, the author has since private’d the fanfic and is no longer available in AO3. I managed to download it beforehand so if you guys want a copy, DM me and I’ll send you one! 😄
Oops. I recoloured this portrait of Jude and Cardan and then accidentally erased my original post! Haha oh well. Here's the updated version with fresh fall colours, along with the line art this time (which I almost always like better anyway)
