Skye-Rae's Writing and Art Blog

A blog to share my writing and art.  I dabble in a lot of fandoms and genres, so expect a wide variety.

Minor TGAA 2-3 Spoilers (at least what the victim’s name is and the existence of a certain character.)

I’m sure most people who played the English localization at least thought about this joke when they learned the victim was named Mr. Asman.  This comic was born from the mental image of the masked apprentice trying so hard (and failing) not to laugh in public.  Honestly, Barok might be more amused about Ryuunosuke’s slip-up if his best friend wasn’t currently the defendant in a murder trial.

Reblogging since this is my art that is closest to 1000 notes. (970 notes as of reblogging this). If we get this to 1K, I will redraw this silly comic so that you all can see how much I've improved over the last 3-4 years.

TGAA 2 Spoilers. Kinda of. For the ship involved at least.

Some sketches from a brasry ballet AU idea I had. Where Barok & Kazuma are the male leads for a ballet and Ryunosuke is the lead stagehand working backstage.

Wherein Barok reveals that he is actually a vampire, and Kazuma has a completely normal reaction.

I've seen a few catboy Kazumas recently, so I wanted to share my bobtail Kazuma take. I imagine him as a Japanese bobtail.

Barok was drawn without a specific breed in mind, but some friends suggested either British longhair or Norwegian forest cat. I have not done enough research to determine which I would ultimately choose.

Homumiko Week 2025: Day 5 Investigations (@hmmkweek2025)

Wherein the partners' investigation is interrupted because SOMEONE is being a stick-in-the-mud about it.

Apologies for the limited amount of Sholmes. I didn't give myself time to work on any other ideas.

Some colored pencil sketches I drew after a long conversation about what types of Pokemon the main cast would have. In the first, Susato & Kazuma have caught a pair of Raltses together. (Susato's evolves into a Gardevoir and Kazuma's into a Gallade.) In the second, I thought that since Iris loves taking care of her plants, she'd love grass types. Please, can she take them all home, Hurley? She promises to take good care of them.

So there was an asbrry week a few months ago, and one of the themes was "devotion." I drew a bunch of pencil sketches of kisses of devotion between the three but never shared them here. Now, I've drawn up the Barok kisses for others to enjoy.

Image descriptions after the cut for length in case anyone's interested in the stories that accompany these kisses.

The baroryuu one takes place shortly after 2-5 before Ryunosuke leaves for Japan. Ryunosuke visited Barok in his office to say farewell. And Barok, convinced that this is the last time he will ever see Ryunosuke, decides this is his one chance to share all of his gratitude and appreciation and admiration (and secret love) before they part ways.

Ryunosuke spends the ENTIRE 50 day voyage back to Japan obsessing over this one moment.

Ryunosuke: No, you don't understand, Susato. It can't have been a regular hand kiss. He held my hand to his lips for almost 10 seconds. And he looked like he didn't want to let go of my hand. I can't be reading too deeply into this, right?

Susato, debating the merits of tossing him into the ocean: ...

On the angstier side, the baroaso one takes place sometime after the 3 of them have gotten together. Kazuma wakes from a nightmare where his inner demon took control and killed both Ryunosuke & Barok. (For added angst, they were lying in such a way that suggests Ryunosuke had been trying to shield Barok from Kazuma's wrath in vain.) When Kazuma woke up, he was desperately trying to stop their bleeding and the dream felt so real, that it takes him a moment to even realize that it was one.

Barok finds him sitting alone in the dark, curled in on himself and trembling. After some prodding, Kazuma blurts out his nightmare and his fears of being a threat to them. So Barok kneels before him, gently takes Kazuma's trembling hands in his, and places a reverent kiss on each palm. He assures Kazuma that his hands are not stained in blood, that he has consistently proven that he is stronger and better than his worst impulses, and that Barok loves and trusts him without hesitation. Cue Kazuma just sliding off the couch and into Barok's arms as he bursts out sobbing. (Ryunosuke finds them as Kazuma's calming down & they make some of Iris' herbal tea and sit together until Kazuma feels calm enough to try to fall back asleep.)

Wherein Barok makes the mistake of using "dear" and "dearest" too close in succession, and Kazuma is petty.

After exposing a corrupt noble's criminal activities in court, Ryunosuke is targeted by the noble's henchmen. Thankfully, he has Kazuma and Barok beside him, ready to defend him.

Written for Day 3 of AsoBaroRyuu Week 2024 for the prompt "Swords." Last year, during a BaroAsoRyuu Week, I drew a picture of Kazuma & Barok defending Ryunosuke from some off-screen thugs. Now, I finally wrote this piece. (It was started months before the ship week, but the ship week was a good motivator to finally put the energy into actually finishing the story.)

Summary: During a wintery investigation, (Junior) Inspector Gina Lestrade aims to be the first to find the missing murder weapon. She gets some unexpected help from Maria Gorey, who brings her own observations from the victim's autopsy. Along the way, they bond over their shared experiences trying to establish themselves outside of Gregson's and Sithe's shadows.

This was my piece for @tgaaizine. It was such a blast working with everyone on this awesome project! I'm so grateful to have been given the opportunity to participate. Thank you to everyone who has supported the zine!

Some brasry/rybras/asrybr/etc illustrations around the theme of "sharing." Or, rather, someone not being very good at it.

The prompt came from the asobaroryuu community here on Tumblr. Check out the community if you're a fan of the ship and interested in meeting other fans!
