Dream of the Endless and Pegasus @murkycrush painted with my intention to write the hell out of it.

The Blood of Bucephalus 

Dreamling, Historical AU (Alexander the Great/Hephaestion), Horses, King!Dream, General!Hob, Epic Love

Rated: Explicit, Graphic depictions of violence

The colossal animal behind the King swayed back and forth, throwing its head in the air and snorting its dominance. It remained close, however; didn’t fight against its collar. Wild and ill-mannered, untamed and uncouth, it was the absolute opposite of the man Hob most often called ‘Sire,’ but also called something else.

“She’ll live, you stubborn fool, you,” the King scolded. One knee fell between Hob’s legs to rest on the ground. That warm hand returned to the side of Hob’s face.

It was a gentler, softer man who looked into Hob’s eyes, cupped his cheek and thumbed the divot in his bearded chin. He’d never looked lovelier, not even in Hob’s dreams.

“Hello, Morpheus,” Hob said, voice shaking.

The King smiled. Leaned so very close. Exhaled. Whispered.

“Hello, dearest Hob.”

Commissioned for the wingfic:

we are each our own devil (and we make this world our hell)

Bucky's bent knee fell to the side, as if pushed invisibly by the suggestion of a connection between the two. He could have imagined it, but the wings felt marginally heavier, as if they were pressing down harder.

And, god, if the angel wanted to destroy him right there, Bucky would walk through hell to make it happen.

I’m thrilled to share a piece of art that @murkycrush created to accompany a scene from the latest chapter of my ongoing MCU fanfic! I loved the idea of Barnes having a quiet moment where the light catches in the seams of his vibranium hand, and it reminds him of the strange dreams he had of it glowing within the Dark Place. Murkycrush did a fantastic job bringing this scene to life, and I especially love how they approached the color palette in this piece. It’s so lovely, emotive, and packed with emotion!

Please do yourself a favor and check out murkycrush’s Twitter and Tumblr accounts to see more of their beautiful art! I love how much mood and emotion they put into their pieces, and it’s such a treat to include another piece of their art in this story!
