“Nikolai had met Inej through Kaz, funnily enough, and the two had become quick friends, despite what others, particularly Kaz, thought. They saw eye to eye on most things, were both optimists despite their more pessimistic–no–realistic best friends, and above all else, they both loved the sea. Sailing meant freedom, a reclamation and an escape for both of them.”

Greetings Grisha,

Signups for our last event of the year, the Reverse Mini Bang, is open now.

What is it?

The Grishaverse Reverse Mini Bang is a fan-run event where writers, artists, and edit makers work together to bring the Grishaverse to life! We're looking for creators that are willing to invest their time into this project and are able to collaborate with others to create a successful project. Teams will consist of one artist and one writer. Artists will be able to decide the direction of the project, and writers will write an accompanying fic for the art.

Who can participate?

Anyone! Creators of all levels of experience can participate.

How is this different from the regular Big Bang?

The timeline is shorter and our minimum word count is lower. Artists also get to decide on the direction of the project instead of the writer. Projects should be on a much smaller scale than with the normal event.

Where can I find more info about GVBB?

The Heist (general info and schedule)

FAQ (frequently asked questions)

Signups close November 28th at 11:59 PST

Thank you for your continued interest. We'll see you soon.

here's my wesper art for @grishaversebigbang mini bang, based on a fic by @ace-kaz-brekker! This was my first time drawing wesper and I love how it turned out.

Please be sure to check out the amazing artwork by my fellow materialki @tiaragloryart (here).

A little late for personal reason but now I can finally post my finished piece for this year's grishaverse reverse mini bang!! @kiwisandtea wrote a wonderfully hilarious fanfiction about a boy (Pieter) trying to earn a living as a spider in the barrel. And what information would sell better than an alleged romance between Dirtyhands and the Wraith? Sucks that nobody believes him tho...

Can you spot Pieter spying on Kanej?

[denndrawings]

Listen. Monster girlfriend x pirate girlfriend. You’re welcome.

Fic by @zemenipearls [placeholder for the link] and you can check some more art at @songbee ‘s [it will be here as soon as it’s posted]

Had so much fun writing this zoyalai cirque AU for the reverse @grishaversebigbang! The fic was inspired by this incredible artwork by @jjelliacee. Thank you for the amazing idea and inspo ❤️.

With the talented @aurorasnnsadprose, who wrote the Zoya POV, I wrote Nikolai for an alternating POV story. We only had a loose plot and didn't see the final combined version till after. Super happy with how it turned out. Enjoy!

So the Crow Club had made its way into Ketterdam’s premier speakeasy, with a booming underground liquor business to boot. It had quickly become the city’s most prominent bootleg operation, hiding much of its inner workings in plain sight.

No one from the Stadwatch had dared to crack down on it, either. Most were loathe to investigate a place they sourced from themselves, and the few who didn’t were not keen to take the steep risk of crossing Dirtyhands. The religiously-inclined might have even argued that all of this was Ghezen’s will, and who would dare go against that?

Still — rivals had begun to emerge out of the woodwork. The competition in the Barrel was always unfriendly, but with Prohibition in place, it had grown longer claws than ever before. And it was no longer restricted to the Barrel, either — the rich and powerful had begun to dip their toes into the business. There was no telling where things might go, next.

A very late gifset and snippet from my Roaring 20s AU fic for the Grishaverse Mini Bang 2022!

GVBB 2022: “Turn the Lights Down Low” by @polekands.

“Alina is the ancient, near immortal sun summoner and has been on this earth for quite some centuries now. Successfully avoiding Ravka, the Fold and - of course - the darkling. Due to a chain of unfortunate events though - involving a skiff and a volcra attack - her cover is blown - except for the fact that no one knows she is far older than 18.”

Read on AO3.

Another year, another @grishaversebigbang!! And I think I quite like my art for this year! Make sure to check out the fic and @margot-arts piece (found here).
