My Old Guard Big Bang 2022 artwork submission to accompany @griseldagimpel's story The Fourth Crusade. This getting together story chronicles Yusuf and Nicolò's journey from enemies to lovers within the historical backdrop of the twisted tale of the fourth crusade. The artwork is drawn in the style of the Crusader's Bible, a contemporary picture Bible (c. 1240 C.E.), and features three scenes from the story. Choosing to illustrate in this very specific medieval style was a real challenge (and I still cringe at the way they drew horses back in the day). I hope you enjoy both the story and the art!

hello happy new year everyone here is my entry for the @oldguardbigbang, albeit slightly delayed (this was actually posted to ao3 yesterday, but i didn't put the link here)!! i've had a whole lot of fun writing this, and the art (done by the incredible @zairaalbereo) is absolutely beautiful! enjoy!

Summary:
A detective. A conductor. A lawyer. A governess. A musician. A mystery. A doctor. A businessman. A bodyguard.
A victim. A murderer.
Nicolò di Genova’s desperately needed holiday is interrupted by an urgent summons, requiring his help on a new case. He ends up travelling on the Orient Express with seven other passengers, except then one of them winds up dead, because Nicky really can’t catch a break. With seven suspects, all equally suspicious, and nowhere to hide, Nicky has a limited time to catch the murderer before they escape, or kill again.
And if he falls in love along the way, well. That just complicates things even further.
Joe Al-Kaysani, conductor 🚂
Nicolò di Genova, detective 🕵🏼♂️
My second set of art for the @oldguardbigbang and the lovely @falyakonmp3 and her intriguing Orient Express AU:
“right and wrong and everything in between”
Go and check it out! The first four chapters are up and more to come.
sometimes i really love my fics. i wrote that because i wanted to read it. i love it. nobody visits my fics more than me. they remind me that i’m a hard worker, that i created something. it’s mine and i cherish it and love it because it’s exactly what i wanted so i made it.
and other days i’m crippled by self criticism and hate everything and can’t bear to look at my own work because i know it’ll never compare to the greats
but i live for the days i love my work. because it’s mine, and i made it. i didn’t wait for somebody else to make what i dream about. i went and did it myself.
so don’t feel like your work is awful
it’s the stuff you dreamed about. it’s the stuff you decided to make a reality. it’s not about quality, or poetry, or how perfectly your sculpt your words or keep it so deeply in character; because it’s what you dreamed and it’s what you wanted to see, so you made it.
keep writing; it’s yours, and you made it. and if you want to continue to sharpen and improve yourself? then do it. it’s all yours and you can make it whatever you want.
keep writing.

The sun rises in Egypt with the weight of its years dragging it down. Slow and sluggish the light spills over the land like honey, seeping in the cracks of clay houses and towering limestone monuments to dynasties long dead. Across the desert sands, it creeps in corners and valleys and places long forgotten.
Hamunaptra breathes in the light of dawn, and waits.
Somewhere in the Egyptian desert lies the treasure of the great Pharaohs. Armed with a map, a puzzle box, and a criminal he saved from the noose, Joe sets out to find it.

“So,” Nile says, after watching Yusuf carefully clean and stitch Andy’s wound. “Y’all went to medical school, then? Guess that’s one way to pass the centuries.”
Nicky laughs, a soft and tired sound. “Not all of us.”
Or: five(ish) times Yusuf practiced medicine over the years, and one time someone helped heal him.

Future!fic. Humanity has spread out amongst the stars, and Nile and her team are struggling to figure out where they fit in: out in the furthest reaches of the galaxy, or home on Earth with those who still remain. Dreams of a new immortal don’t exactly simplify matters.
“Think it’s time to get the band back together?” Nile asks.
“As if Nicky or Joe would let us collect the new kid without them.” Booker regards her steadily. “Think it’ll be enough to get Quỳnh back on a ship?”
“Guess we’ll find out. Because…”
She hesitates, as though saying it aloud will make it too real. So Booker says it for her.
“Because that desert was nowhere on Earth,” he finishes. “And the girl in our dreams wasn’t human.”
HEY LOOK I FINALLY FINISHED MY BIG BANG FIC! And super thrilled to have partnered with @technotrousers – here’s the accompanying art post!

Soooo for this year’s @oldguardbigbang I had the absolute pleasure and joy to work with @knoepfchen who is an amazing writer and the best partner I could have possibly asked for. I fell in love with with fic the moment I read the pitch and I am so excited for all of you to read it!! Andy and Quynh and horses and a holiday romance??? Literally what’s better than this.

Andy licked her spoon with the tip of her raspberry red tongue. ‘Have you tried having sex about it?’
‘It’s not for me.’
There was a brief moment of silence as Andy sat her glass down and crossed her arms on the table in front of her.
‘Sex with a woman?’
Quynh rolled her eyes. When Andy’s gaze did not relent, she laughed. ‘Oh please. I’m not twenty-two anymore.’
‘No. You’re an adult woman, who is allowed to do what she damn well pleases. And because you seem to be missing even the signals you’re giving yourself, much less mine: Yes. I am coming onto you.’
Quynh is an acclaimed writer of literary fiction who has never missed a deadline in her life. Andy is the woman of a thousand trades she meets on a research trip for her latest book. What starts as a bit of fun might just be the thing that makes Quynh miss her deadline - and change her life forever.

My art for Strange-Eyed Constellations by the lovely @kaydeefalls for the @oldguardbigbang! The medium is oil pastel on paper, running with the starting pitch of “The Old Guard … in SPAAACE”!
Here’s a playlist inspired by the fic, aiming to go from WOO, SPACE! to some immortal melancholy and come back around to hopefulness, which I hope does justice to the story!

Nicky is lost in deep space after he and his crew are separated in an explosive getaway from Merrick Station. He wakes up in the random ship he stole in the midst of chaos, adrift impossibly far away due to emergency light speed jump. He’s desperate to repair the ship’s engines and get back to civilization before the isolation affects his physical and mental health. But first, he has to get to the root of the the slow, creeping feeling that he isn’t actually alone out here in the vast emptiness of space. There is someone else hiding on the ship.
