Redemption - @silverstreams

A commission that accompanies the final chapter of Redemption!

Every story comes to a close, and every character finds the bonds that make them whole. Congrats to Silver for 10 years and the finale of an incredible fic!

Commission for @silverstreams for a scene from ch42 of their fic, redemption!

I wanted to capture the emotion it gave me reading this scene for the first time: an overwhelming sense of relief after a long, harrowing, previously seemingly hopeless journey. It’s a very emotionally heavy story but a very good one, and satisfying at the end for sure

Si, Lontana Da Scienza

GLaDOS said, "You need to stop destroying my equipment."

"And you need to shut up,” Doug said, without looking up.

"Hey!" said the cube. "That's not very nice."

"Neither is she," said Doug, jamming the flat wedge into the crease again.

“Then he told me that I was Apollo 13 On that very last day, he said “Shoot for your dreams, little girl, to the stars,” Well I’m taking you with me Now this one is ours And I know what you’d say, you’d say “On with the show,” So on we go.”
