First sketch + a first-meeting chapter
For organization purposes I'll tag this duo as Cara and Jacob.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2
Cara woke up to her alcove’s darkness, hearing bubbles and the seals outside. There was no land, no clouds, no sun — and much less the man she had seen on the shoreline.
Something in her spell backfired. The mermaid gave themselves days and miles of distance since they met, yet they were still bound.
When she slept, the shape of Jacob would press his throat against her and hum a sailor’s tune. Where merfolk notes were clear and loud, his’ you’d feel through skin, closed lips, and guttural sounds.
The elders gave an unexpected, hearty laugh as she conveyed the dream, “We’ll let you figure this one out, Cara.”
She didn't find the courage to describe the lullaby — A song about a good catch, fruits like gemstones, and flowers to garnish one’s hair.
"Here is a warning, though. A lead." Old Merv said, still playful, "You're sharing mind currents and the human knows. For once, you're on the receiving end. How does it feel?"
To that, the mermaid momentarily lost her voice.
She also kept the part where she’d curl up under the shade of the brow bone and lashes, lazily stroking the man's cheekbones until he’d doze off.
More days passed, and they could not slumber without hooking onto each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(as always, please nudge me if you find any glaring mistakes or misplaced words/idioms! I'm writing those as fast as I can, plus I'm doing some ambitious stuff like trying to use lots of maritime/fishing vocabulary... while trying not to sound too overdone, tiresome or corny.)
I'd also like to recommend @aaytaro-gt 's G/T Inktober! Today's theme is 'cuddle' ♥ Go check their post if you're curious, the prompts are lovely.

Henry (mine) and his wife Eleine ( @berrydoodless ) doing little dance lessons! :D
They’re mostly figuring out how two very different sized people can dance, but uh, Henry zoned out a while ago cause he looked at her too long.

So I have found another thing to give a shot in amongst everything else I’m doing this month! I’m going to take part in g/t InkTober using @aaytaro-gt prompt list! I want to take the opportunity to practice drawing certain positions and I’ve never really tried to draw gt art before so here’s to hoping I stick to it and make some improvements 😊 might switch between traditional and digital art who know.
Day 1. Acorn

Considering I don’t draw hands often, I’m actually really happy with how this turned out. This is also c!beckyu since I really love drawing her.

The Prince
A bit of writing based on @aaytaro-gt ‘s Inktober prompt list.
Day 18 - Cuddle
==
Hashen had never expected to have the opportunity, or the privilege, to lounge with the royalty that lived in the castle his family had lived in for generations. His family was expected to keep pests out of the castle, and to tidy things up when they could, in return they were allowed to live there and borrow food.
It was a simple life, hunting rats and other pests across the home with his siblings, friends, and parents. He was on good enough terms with the bean servants that made up the castle’s staff, and could usually ask for minor assistance when he or his family required it.
But, two years ago, he’d actually encountered the young prince. 
There Hashen was, cornered by one of the largest rats he’d ever seen, his spear in hand and his body battered, cut up, and bruised. The rat had been a frustrating pest, and he thought he was going to die right then…
But then the rat was pierced by an arrow, killing it instantly.
Hashen could only stare as he had spotted the prince at the far end of the hall, bow in hand, smiling. The prince had ordered a servant to dispose of the rat, before picking Hashen up without a word, taking him to his family to be patched up.
It had been humiliating, in a way, but Hashen hadn’t thought of it that way. He’d been saved by a handsome prince, and his heart was torn as he tried to make sense of his feelings. 
In the end, he realized he was smitten with a giant.
A week later, now healed from the fight with the rat, he stole out into the sleeping castle, heading to the prince’s room. He’d found him awake, writing by candlelight at his desk, and he simply watched him for a time from behind the books stacked nearby. Finally, as the clock chimed midnight, he swallowed his heart and approached the prince.
The prince had known he was there. They spoke for a time, before bed called to them both. 
The past two years were a blur of change for Hashen and the prince, but he wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world.
Tonight the two of them lay out under the stars, Hashen laying on the prince’s chest, covered by his hand in an embrace while they named the constellations. They both loved a clear night like this, where the prince could sneak out under the cover of darkness with Hashen in his pocket, to just be alone in each other's company.
Just them and the stars.

Day 6, Jars.

Karl holding Maria in a jar. (Non canon). Though I might do a revised version that fits into their canon at a later time.
I'm hoping to do a few more prompts this's year if I've got the time, so look out for those! Obviously they'll be out of order.

I started working on a super fun oneshot the other day. It was gonna be all non-stop action and magic. But… it didn’t exactly work out that way.
With my brain being how it is, the story ended up being twice as long. The first half is, as intended, all action. The second half, however, is extreme fluff and hurt/comfort as Nathen (G) helps Lindsay (t) recover from the injuries she obtained from the previous part.
And it gets GOOD
Like, declined help, pinning to tables with hand, mixed-size stitches, reluctant appreciation—
I can’t wait to share this with y’all 😁

GT Inktober Day 2 - Handheld
I'm not like, "doing Inktober" but I like the prompts that @aaytaro-gt made and it seems like picking a few would be a good way to make myself draw/finish things without giving into perfectionism and also take a break from phonetics homework so win/win really

Sharing Kisses
A bit of writing based on @aaytaro-gt ‘s Inktober prompt list.
Day 15 - Kiss
Sharing Inktober Series: Sharing Acorns | Sharing Pie | Sharing Nightmares
==
Jane’s cheek was very warm, the tingling sensation from Marigold’s kiss lingering as the tiny girl leaned on her face. She didn’t want to push her away now, it felt too comfortable, too right. But, she needed to look at her.
Almost too slowly, she pulled Mari away from her face, holding her out enough so that she could see her. She looked confused, maybe flustered, but Jane simply raised a brow with a small smile.
“Did you kiss me?”
She watched as Marigold’s face went red, her tiny gaze darting away from Jane’s. 
“Y-yeah, I did.” She wrung her hands together, still not looking back at her giant friend. “It just felt right, y’know?”
Her voice tugged on Jane’s heart, she hadn’t meant to embarrass Marigold but it seemed she’d managed to do that anyway. She turned her hand, leaning her face back into Mari’s gaze.
“Do you mind if I… kiss you too?” Jane’s heart hammered, trying to keep her voice steady. “I know I’m a bit bigger…”
Marigold’s eyes locked onto her own, face still red as a beet in the dim light of the desk lamp. “Yes- wait, no- I mean… I don’t mind.” Her voice dropped lower as she offered Jane a nervous smile. “Please.”
Jane smiled, drawing Mari in, pressing her lips on her tiny head, covering her face. She knew it must be strange for a kiss to cover so much in this way, but it felt so right.
After a few seconds that stretched like minutes, they parted and Marigold fell backwards onto Jane’s palm, breathing heavily. Jane blushed, gently caressing Mari’s hair with a finger, holding her close. “I hope I wasn’t too much.”
Mari’s hand came up and gripped the gentle finger. “Nope, it wasn’t enough. I’m going to need a few more, I think.” A sideways smile greeted Jane’s blushing face, before she returned one of her own.
“Oh? Well, I think I can oblige…”
