“‘Your hair is so pretty,’ I mumble. ‘You’re so pretty.’
[Baz] runs his hand through my hair. A few rosebuds fall onto the mattress, then softly fade away.
I think I’m going to kiss him. I think this is what everything’s been building up to.”

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.
Fanart for Logical deduction of Value a delicious Alhaitham x Kaveh fic by @stillabovethecloudssomewhere (go read it or else…)
If I start rambling about this fic you’ll never hear the end of it haha, but lemme just tell you that if you’re in need to consume some hurt/comfort THIS is the one. Thank me later.
Anyhow for context Kaveh is incredibly sick, Alhaitham braids and unbraids his hair to soothe his pain, and eventually he falls asleep.
So, this is a fanart for the fic “metamorphosis” a Ben 10 fic done by the amazing writer shipwreckblues, also known as @the-stove-is-divorced on tumblr! This fic (and other fic by the same writer) kept me sane and entertained the past two days on my “road trip” and I can’t thank the author enough for that. At first I wanted to draw him with the cool changes he got, the eyes and the arm, but somehow the cat boy scene and Kevin reaction to it could not leave my head so I simply had to do it
Honestly the author has this unique writing style that I just adore, and his writings usually end up taking a comedic turn, even when it has angst in it (but then, just when the comedy lure you in a sense of comfort, the angst show up again and you get the chills and almost stop breathing because one moment we are laughing at a sleep deprived nerd and the next he’s stuck in thoughts with a metaphorical bridge ashes on his hands, burns on his body, and the laughter of his past bullies echoing around him and god I can’t stop thinking about that scene-)
Alright! Whoever is reading this, give the author a shot! I for one can’t stop stalking his fic
(Also, @the-stove-is-divorced if you see this, sorry for the background of the drawing, backgrounds are my weakness, and I didn’t even look up references for Ben’s house, but I really tried and I even did a study of Ben in my style before drawing this, so I hope you like it)
So I started reading @ohno-the-sun ‘s fic Under the Surface and I literally binge-read all the chapters out so far in one night because it hooked me so fast. And then I couldn’t sleep until I did some fun sketches while my hand still felt alright. So woe, fish boy doodles be upon ye.
So I red this Sun and Moon Show based story on Ao3 called-
‘Only Half Is Gone? Then Why Does It Feel So Empty?!’
And I love it personally! I like the concept, also Harvest is just really depressed and I want to see him get better. As a result of my love for this fic I drew Harvest! (In my style)
