A commission for the lovely @Coolio_Jeeter (X), who gave me so much creative freedom to work with! Thank you so much for this wonderful commission, I had an absolute blast bringing it to life. 🥹💕
Wake up babe, new fanart for chapter 9 of You're Perfect (And Everything in Between) just dropped!
After the beautiful animation they made for the chapter 4 club dancing scene, I commissioned @anewp0tat0 once more to bring this moment of chapter 9 to life, with Stolas sleeping on the couch guarded by Tuna Sandwich while Blitz works quietly on the dishes.
It turned out so beautiful and soft 🥺😭 thank you so much, Pota, for all the care and love you put into this piece! ❤️
Some close-ups/a little snippet from chapter 9 under the cut:
Blitz's hand/arm scars, the snow on the window and the full moon outside:
Stolas' exhausted features and Tuna Sandwich protecting him while he sleeps:

There were an additional two blankets draped over Stolas by the time Blitz managed to pry himself away from his sleeping form.
Stolas didn’t look cold anymore, but that observation couldn’t seem to scratch the itch at the back of Blitz’s mind. Stolas looked companionless, unprotected, and Blitz threw a look at the walls, dismayed by the lack of horse plushies that could watch over Stolas while he slept.
After much quarreling with himself, Blitz had an idea. Silently, he removed Tuna Sandwich from his car keys and placed the small pink pony plush carefully next to Stolas’ face. Then he took a step back to assess his work.
It wasn’t much, but it’d have to do.
Even though he hadn’t looked at his phone in hours, his only unread message was from Millie, letting him know they were home and thanking him again for dinner. He sent back a dancing woman emoji and texted Loona he was staying the night at Stolas’. If she was still on her phone, she wasn’t impressed enough by this information to dignify it with a reply.
With one last lingering look at the shadowed outline of Stolas’ softened face, Blitz rolled the tension off his shoulders, pushed back his sleeves, and got to work.
There was a pattern to Stolas’ dirty dishes, he soon found: pots and pans and plates buried at the bottom of the sink and pushed to the back of the counter to make room for bowls, mugs, and glasses, each holding an unrinsed spoon inside. Someone more well-read that Blitz would’ve been able to carbon-date the stages of Stolas’ mental decline, maybe even decipher how many days he’d survived on milk and cereal alone. But that person wasn’t Blitz, who directed his efforts towards emptying the food scraps into a discarded takeout bag and covering each plate with water before stacking them up to soak.
Dishes were loud by nature, but Blitz had been nurtured from an early age to shape them into a stealthy task. Even so, he stilled every couple of minutes to make out the soft, almost hoot-like releases of breath coming from the couch facing away from him.
