A year ago I met @ararouge (https://www.instagram.com/ararouge/) and she offered art for my fics. The first one she drew was from Melancholy Moods and Broken Boundaries, https://archiveofourown.org/works/55159768

And now, one year later, she's redrawn the scene - it blows me AWAY how much an artists style can change and grow in just the span of a year. It's seriously incredible. I was already astounded at the very first piece of art I was given, and now seeing it done again, one year later?

Gods, I'm so happy to have found the community that is Hazbin. I hope we all continue to be just as deeply into the fandom a year from now, too.

I wanted to share the art @ararouge made inspired by my fanfic No Rest For the Wicked: https://archiveofourown.org/works/55935631

Here is a snippet;

There were those who assumed the radio demon didn't sleep at all.

They were incorrect – he did sleep, albeit at somewhat reduced hours than what most would consider standard – but it was still a requirement.

So, on the occasions where it eluded him entirely, he was, unfortunately...

Not at his best.

On the first day, he was hardly different from normal. He had tried to sleep, of course, but somehow the crackling fire and gentle sounds from his false bayou didn't feel as restful as usual. Perhaps it was because he spent so little time in his own rooms these days – but Lucifer had been called away on business, a rare meeting with the other Sins and the Goetia families – so Alastor felt it would be rude to go to the king's rooms without him there.

He had stared at the ceiling for close to an hour, and every time he closed his eyes to attempt to rest, he only ending up tossing and turning, his thoughts focusing on a thousand different things at once.

Nothing important – just things.

@ararouge continues to blow me away, this time with artwork for the RadioStatic oneshot 'I Want Your Drama - And the Touch of Your Hand' - featuring a bratty Alastor, in a dress - and a fed up Vox to set him to rights

Stolen Moments is... complete!

Read chapter 75, the final chapter, here!

I never expected this little fic to grow so big. Over 550k, 87 individual chapters (Some put into multiparters because they couldn't really be separated) - I have never been this attached to a project for such a huge amount of time. These characters have been both a joy and a horror to bring to life. Already it's hard to believe I won't be adding anything more to the Stolen Moments world - even though I probably could. Even in this chapter alone I found myself plucking at vague plot threads I hadn't yet gone into!

But this is a good place for it to end. For me, at least - for Alastor and Lucifer, all that's ending is their difficulties, this is nothing but their next beginning. But that would be an entirely new story.

Thank you, thank you so much, everyone who's been reading this the whole time. Everyone who discovered it when it was already 50 chapters in and took a chance on reading something so massive. Everyone who was waiting for it to finish before binge reading it - hello! I may not reply to every comment, I get a little overwhelmed in knowing what to say, but I look at every one of them and smile and keep them close to my heart. Hearing things like 'this is one of the best things about Fridays' or 'this series has literally made such an impact on my life' or 'even my friend who doesn't know about Hazbin knows about this series' - every time I hear something like this, my heart just soars.

Thank you for coming on this journey with me.

What's next? Well, I certainly won't cease writing. I already have another RadioApple longfic idea kicking around in my brain, though I might not start it until season 2. I always wanted to finish this story before season 2 aired, anyway. I am working on plenty of oneshots (some of which are more like 3 shots...) so you can expect to see plenty of fic from me still!

Keep your eyes open for; Bottom Alastor Week, Top Daddy Lucifer Week, RadioApple Through Time (Fairytale), and maybe even... Top Alastor Week. Not to mention projects and zines that are going on!

Thank you all. Happy Stolen Saturday (Friday for you USians) - until we meet again.
