“because they saved my life. And i’ll save theirs. and even in this dark, dark cave… they make every day a smiley day”
companion piece to this, drawn two years ago for a sweet moment between fcg and fearne. and now a commemoration to the life and light of fresh cut grass
“No, the rage that I feel, the stress being so high, the fuel pumping through my core, it has reached a level it's never reached before, and it is so intense that for the first time, I realize that I am made of metal and wires, but I am alive. I'm alive for the first time, and I am alive not because I was made by D or Dancer or even the Changebringer. I'm alive because they made me alive, and it's the connections that I made with all of them. It's a feeling of joy, and I'm happy to do this, because they saved my life, and I'll save theirs.”-Fresh Cut Grass/Faithful Care-Giver
Little fanart of FCG little spoiler for those out there not caught up. really happy with the outcome on this one. Saint Letters, Faithful Care Giver, protector of friends.
I may have perfectionism issues, so I added/fixed/changed some details and then decided to make it into a gif (first time)!
I also fixed some issues in the fanfic and added some more perspectives.

Summary:
Post Battle [C3e91 -obv spoilers], the players briefly said what they did before moving on without as much RP/descriptions as normal. This is how it played out in my mind palace.
"Chet couldn't hear the sounds of the metal clanking around him, only the ringing in his ears, as he stood in shock and disbelief. The air tasted of blood, sweat and red earth. Quickly his world snapped back into focus and he began to survey the battlefield"
Quick sketch for the TMA AU FCG design, too lazy to color but imagine brown skin and a muted blue for the hair with his dark brown roots showing, he works in the artifact storage and uses a wheelchair, both he and imogen use hearing aids.
@lord-have-mercer came up with the fact he works in the artifact storage and has contributed a lot to this AU, go follow him!
I feel like Sam’s been holding this move in his pocket ever since Imahara Joe told FCG he had a bomb in his chest. That said, I think this was about the most brilliant way he could have deployed it.
Think about it—FCG wakes up in a cave surrounded by the corpses of his dead friends, only to learn later that he was the one who murdered them. Now he’s in a cave with his new best friends, and he’s going killbot mode again, but this time, he’s fully aware of his state of mind, and fully in control of his decisions. And in picking his target, he saves all of their lives.
"And some connections are made with wire, some are made with blood, some are made with bone, and some are made with wood. But they all matter. And even in this dark cave they make it a smiley day."
