WIP Weekend

So, the inimitable @idlenight tagged me in this a few days ago, but I've got some slightly different things to present today.

For one, I've put aside my other fics to work on what I've called the Bespoke FHR collection - a sprawling edit/rewrite of my Sidestep routes, written specifically to account for all their little quirks and behaviours. I do a reading of them in a server with some friends biweekly and right now we're at the end of Cass' Retri run. So here's a little snippet of that:

"Do you have your masks?" you whisper. "Yeah. Got a spare in my jacket, if you want it. Inside pocket," Pelayo mutters back. Rosie shifts the jacket in her lap. "Why? It's not like the Boss is setting anything off anytime soon." You take the mask from Rosie, stuffing it in your own jacket pocket. "Never know when you might need to throw together something, and hospitals have some mean, heavy grade shit." Pelayo gives you a weird look, but doesn't argue. It's technically a break in character - Ace is the facilitator, the social butterfly, the pretty face, and definitely shouldn't know how to rig a chemical weapon. The slip in behaviour is too low on your priority list right now to bother salvaging. You can only hope that they assume Ace has hidden depths or just let it slide. They slow down to let your take the lead and your mind wanders while you head for a storage closet that looks promising. The mask rests against your palm in your pocket and you realize this will be the first time Ace has ever worn one. You've never been on a job with the group as Ace. Sidestep is the frontman — Ace, the hand in the shadows. It almost feels wrong to change that but, at the same time, it's almost like a right of passage. When this is all over, you'll have to share a round with the gang to celebrate.

And then, because I've been trying to learn how to draw, have some sketches and other strange drawings:
