Loved doing this, i didn't know Sam or Foyle's War prior to doing this art, but i feel like she and Steve would be bests for sure, thanks @darkhorse-javert for commissioning <3
Fluff-tober Day 20 (alternate);Fandom Crossover
A crossover that popped into my head the very first time i watched Foyle's War episode 'Invasion'.
To Americans, forgive me for playing a little fast and loose with the timline, I know War Artists weren't a thing until 1943, but the idea is too good to pass up.
Not a shipping fic between the leadscpurely friendship- Andrew will get a mention if I extend this. @flufftober
March 1942
“Yeah, like broads in uniform.” The fresh, pushy young man who'd been at the station said, as though the whole thing was a great farce
Sam barely has time to register the words being spoken, before another American voice snapped across the room
“Oi, you shut it Farnetti! Ladies present!” The speakeris just in front of her, springing to his feet with the force of his words. Then just as quickly, the skinny man quickly dips his head in apology to Mr Foyle and sits back down in his seat.
“Well -yes- “ Mr Foyle carries on in his his talk with only the lightest of stumbles, given the gravity of the interruption. Rather than listening Sam instead took time to study her self-appointed defender. His chest was heaving up and down, and it wasn't just anger making it so, she could hear an odd rattling and wheeze with each breath. And he really was skinny, not just thin, there was no breadth to the body under the uniform jacket, it looked two sizes too big on him- at the very least.
She didn't know anything of the American Military requirements for their men, but looking across the rows of green-khaki backs, this man stood out like a sore thumb physically. I don't like the sound of that breathing, and I' not even officially trained, surely he wouldn't have passed a medical to be a soldier.
Not that, Samnotes as the young man promptly tensed to spring at another apparently crude remark from 'Farnetti', he lacks any of the necessary courage for a fight.
Everyone applauds Mr Foyle, then the gathering begins to splinter, some of the men putting chairs away, others making quick steps towards the next room, with their apparent friends.
The young skinny man shook his head, apparently at the world and turned in his seat, giving her a bashful but sweet smile
“Miss, I apologise for those comments from the other men- some of them haven't the manners they were born with.” He holds out a hand over the back of the chair
“Steven Rogers, although I go by Steve.”
She shakes it warmly, and manners too “Samantha Stewart”
He glances along the room “There's a spread of food in the next hall, if you are hungry.
She tries not to immediate look over in the direction, but is pretty sure her eyes give her away “I am rather hungry.”
Rogers – Steve- rises from his chair and makes an effort to move it the little way to the wall, out of the way. As she stands and does the same it merely confirms what she was already guessing. The young man is even shorter than her, shorter even than she'd be in her socks.
He doesn't appear to notice, or at least doesn't remark on her expression, instead taking a few steps across the room, before turning back to her,
“It's just through here.”
He sets off at a brisk pace, but she shortens her stride to keep with him, not accidentally overtake and make him hurry further. At least she does until she sees the table, absolutely laden with things. She stops, looking back and forth along the spread of food.
There's a soft, but not unkind chuckle at her elbow, and looks down to a warm smile, “Rather more than you're used to in Blighty?”
“Rather.” I want to try it all, but where to even start? I'm not sure I even recognise some of it
He steps forward again, “Grab a plate and fill up before the other greedy mugs get near, or it will be crumbs, just start at one end and pick things until you get to the other, Miss Stewart.”
Has Mr Foyle seen this? She looks around for him, spots him in conversation with the American Captain, Keiffer, apparently being shown something in a leather wallet. She follows Steve Roger's- lead, collecting a plate and a fork from the stacks, looking and listening as he sotto-voce, identifies some of the dishes for her; baloney, hamburger.
“If you don't mind me asking-” she asks between mouthfuls of food as they stand in a corner eating “You don't look much like a soldier.” She slightly gestures with her fork at the others around them.
Rogers doesn't take offence, or doesn't seem to, “I'm not -failed my medical three times when I tried, even under false names.” He shifts his fork to his plate hand and reaches up to touch his ear, which, Sam only now notices, has a pencil tucked behind it, and stands more stiffly “Steven G. Rogers, Official United States War Artist, now attached to the Engineer Battalion posted in Southern England.” He eases his posture, then dips in his pocket “Oh, here. “ He brings out a square of paper
Sam takes it and unfolds it to reveal Mr Foyle, mid flow in his speech, as captured on paper. She looks between the drawing and the artist.
“Only a rough sketch for now.” He says abashedly, not quite looking at her, “I could do better with more time.”-

A/N I might actually start a whole series based on this idea of ., let me know if you'd like it. Pic done by me in Word using a screen cap and the 'Photocopy' picture setting, gives you an idea.

Time for 2023 recap y'all
Sorry for being so unactive lately, being honest, this wasn't a good year for me, i lost my grandpa, spent the year unemployed and felt like everything i want to become and achieve is way farther, i hope i can write a more optmistic message at this same moment next year.
Yet, not everything was that bad, i made a lot of art, and felt a considerable evolution on it, i discovered a lot of talented artists and had the privilege to witness your creations too, cheering me up and inspiring me at my lowest points, thank you so much <3
Huge thanks to everyone who supported me, people who commissioned, shared and left kind words <3
xoxo and happy 2024,
Punk b

Quick Update: we reached the goal!!!!
Thanks to everyone who either commissioned or shared, there is some people yet to confirm, but i was able to reach my goal <3
[UPDATE: PAUSED / WE DID IT YAY] Hello sweeties, I hate being in this situation, but I need to open emergency commissions again, I have had several unforeseen expenses in the last few months, and as a result, my credit card is at risk of being withheld.
I need at least $100 to cover these expenses, so I'll be opening 7 slots of 15$ each; (4 slots were already taken by people on Instagram, and there is some others pending, I'll keep you posted of it)
It will feature a simple colored drawing of one character, such as those ones i made sometime ago (in the image)
If you can't commission, I please ask you to help me sharing this, so maybe i can reach more people, and if you are interested, DM me so we can discuss the details <3
Or, if you want, you can order a regular commission, dm me for prices and details;
