[Fic] Second-Hand Smoke

Title: Second-Hand Smoke Pairings/Characters: England/France Rating: Teen Summary: England, France, a small balcony in Paris, and New Year’s Eve. Between the cigarette smoke, atmosphere, and the party in the background, things are bitter, bittersweet. Notes: A pinch-hit for @grand-guardian-deity, for the 2017 FrUK Gift Exchange. One of your wishes was for a ‘Midnight Kiss,’ but more kisses seem to have snuck in. I’m so, so sorry this is so late; it fought against me every step of the way.

FrUK New Year’s Surprise

For the FrUK gift exchange, I drew @aph-nerdynard‘s surprise party wish! Thanks for waiting a bit longer for me to finish; I ended up behind schedule. From working on this I learned a lot! Tried a different way of shading and it’s interesting…

Hope you enjoy!

[kieranculkincumslut]

@rathofprivendor okay!!! Here’s this . Sorry I took so long and couldn’t do it better- but here it is! This is for the @frukgiftexchange

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Pairing: France/England  Rating: T (Wartime, Mentions of violence) Word Count: ~7k

Summary: WW2 Human!Au. At the second night of the Vel D’hiv Roundup, 1942, Arthur’s old friend appeared at his doorstep with a half-conscious young refugee whose family had been taken. “Let him stay,” she pleaded. “Just until we find a place for him.” Back then, Arthur wouldn’t have imagined that the young man was yet to stay for long; and definitely not how important he would become to him. 

This is my gift for @tescoeverydayvalue​ for the FrUK gift exchange. I chose the prompt historical. I apologise for the delay, and I hope you like this!
