coc 2023 Day 28: Gently

“No,” I say. “I won’t do that.” Simon shrinks from me. His hands fall to his lap. He looks anguished. I loop his tail around my hand again and hold him everywhere tight. “No,” I repeat. “I can touch you less gently, but I won’t love you less kindly.” (chapter 32)

I found this cute old timey picture so I wanted to redraw it

COC 24 ⁘ Cross

His voice is thick, strained. “You should be wearing your cross.”

“We’ve been through this—I’d rather risk a bite.”

–Wayward Son, @rainbowrowell

“‘I told you [...] The spell.’ He sighs. ‘How I found you.’ It’s impossible to stay hidden from someone who loves you. My knees buckle. He catches me before I can fall.”

Carry on Countdown | Day Thirteen: Shudder

This year I decided I wanted to honor the incredibly talented fic writers of this fandom, so I chose one fic per prompt to do an illustration for. I didn’t double up on authors so that I could do this for as many people as possible. I realized while planning this that there are way too many fics and authors that I love, and even after having picked 30 of what I consider some of my very favorites, I could have easily kept going. Please check the fics out if you haven’t, they all come highly recommended.

Day 5 - fight

Yeah I spent about 4 hours rage crying and didn’t have it in me to commit to the bit. But I did get this done before midnight by 3 minutes.

So Baz gets to rage cry now.

COC Day 23 - Bite

Baz finally gave in to Simon's wishes 😏

@carryon-countdown

Can we talk about how the Crucible roommate selection foreshadowed how Baz and Simon got together??

First we hear from Simon that he initially felt nothing at all until he suddenly felt a *pull* and ended up next to Baz desperately wanting to resolve it with the handshake. Baz, on the other hand, was playing it cool and ignored the feeling, letting Simon make the first move.

Simon didn’t know he was in love with Baz until he started feeling closer to him after the Visiting. Baz knew all along and was determined to ignore it, believing Simon would never feel the same.

And then he kissed me.

Carry On Countdown, Day 1: Creature

(Quotes from "Wayward Son" and "Any Way the Wind Blows" by @rainbowrowell)

My first ever @carryon-countdown! I immediately saw this image in my mind when I read the prompt for day 1.

“I tighten my arm around him. I get my wing around him, too. I like having four arms to hold him.”

— From chapter 20, Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell.
