Art for chapter 9 of @ariadne-mouse 's til human voices wake us, an evocative, spooky, and lovely shadowgast fic featuring mer-Caleb. In this chapter: O to be held tenderly by an apex predator so you don't drown in your silly layers!

Here's a close-up:

Art for chapter 8 of til human voices wake us, @ariadne-mouse 's wonderful, spooky, touching mercaleb au.

In this chapter, Essek goes beachcombing after a terrible storm.

Mercaleb says hello 👋

A shadowgast illustration for chapter 6 of til human voices wake us, @ariadne-mouse's delightful au about a morally-dubious Shadowhand and a morally-dubious merman who can't seem to stop playing boyfriend chicken. Go read it, it's lovely!

Next to Essek, the cat’s tail twitched, and it licked its chops.

The creature in the water deftly fileted a chunk of white flesh with his claws and after a pause, held it up, offering it not to the cat, but to Essek.

Essek blinked.

The pale arm reached higher, bringing the scent of salt and fish and freshly spilled blood to Essek’s nose.

My art for chapter 2 of @ariadne-mouse's ongoing mer-Caleb shadowgast fic, til human voices wake us. It's a wonderful fic, and I'll be doing regular art for it! I'll link it in the reblog, go check it out 💜

Here is the aforementioned cat (Frumpkin, of course), shown in the art for chapter 1:

The pale hand emerged once more. It was open and empty this time, and in profile the fingertips appeared rather… sharp. Claws or talons? It scritched the cat under the chin, then behind the ears, to evident feline contentment.

Sketches for the mercaleb pic are under the cut, for people who like to see WIPs. :)

“Welcome Home.” When you face your trauma head-on and finish the same day with probably the biggest proof of the profound love you have for your found family, all wrapped up in that amber glory.
