I'm on day four of no electricity thanks to Hurricane Helene: Revenge of the Gulf (Special Extended Edition), but I went in search of WiFi to bring you my contribution to Hamiathe's Gift Exchange! AO3 user cottonmycandy asked for a glimpse of Irene and Eugenides in court, sharing a surreptitious moment of intimacy (Gen, as always, is less subtle). I titled it "Only to Those With Eyes to See," because Phresine certainly caught this look, even if nobody else did.

"What will you do now?"

"Oh, [...] grovel, I suppose."

Kiss (Your Queen)

I tried adding certain Symbolic Elements (and removing other elements such as A Hand) to match the characters and the theme of the series more.

I started working on this more than 2 years ago and then stopped because I couldn’t get it right, and also didn’t feel like drawing the patterns on the clothes haha 😆

I remembered about it during my vacation and decided to finish it quickly. I’m not 100% satisfied with it but at least it’s finished now! ☺️🌸

Got Return of the Thief for Christmas, immediately cracked it open to that lovely blank page between the intro and the first book of Pheris and did this on that page

has anyone considered that maybe the ambassador had bad vibes. that he was unpleasant to deal with

I saw that @meganwhalenturner enjoyed the blackout poetry someone made of another author's work, so naturally I had to try my hand at a passage from one of her books.

(thanks to the discord server for helping me choose a passage, this is what I get for complaining that it's hard to chop up beautiful prose).

[meganwhalenturner]

It’s beautiful.

*slams this photo against the window of the Queen’s Thief cafe, shouting and gesticulating incomprehensibly*

I TOLD YOU, I TOLD YOU I WOULD.

[Costis] stepped toward the doorway. The king sat with his feet on the chair and his knees drawn up to his chest, looking over them and out the window. So motionless was he, and so silent the progress of his tears, that it was the space of a breath before Costis realized the king was crying.

Listen, this image has been living rent-free in my head since it first crossed my dash. I mean look! His hidden right hand! His posture! The look on his face! The world cannot just give me this photo and expect me to get a full night’s sleep until I make an attempt.
