A collection of all the art for "Hiraeth" - gifted by artists and readers and friends - put in one place for no other reason than sometimes I'm like a dragon and I love hoarding beautiful, precious things, and putting them in a pile to look at them and feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

There's one illustration missing - from jenniferladybug - but drat and double drat, can't share that one on this site since it features stuff that'd put me in tumblr jail.

Fic tags, because that's how we roll: Historical - the Yugoslav Wars; Alternate Universe - 1990s; Forbidden Love; Heavy Angst; Realistic Characterization; Age Gap; Bittersweet Ending

⚠ Mind the prologue! ⚠

“Hiraeth” Art - Part Two: Hunky Dory

Yo! I’m happy to share Shunak’s amazing poster art for Part Two of “Hiraeth”.

The year is 1996, the protests against the regime are in full swing, and after three years of not speaking to each other, Kylo and Rey reconnect - what was once a friendship with awkward attempts at flirting quickly becomes a passionate relationship that spirals out of control.

Go straight to Part Two here, or read from the beginning here

“Hiraeth” Art - Part Three: First and Last and Always

And it’s finally here - Shunak’s poster art for Part Three of “Hiraeth”. It has everything - even Luke’s infamous goat, who seems to be a real readers’ favorite. The reference for Kylo was Adam in “Silence” - the gaunt, exhausted look perfectly illustrates the loss of idealism, a prominent theme in this part of the story.

Anyway, ladies and gents - it is September 2000, the last days of the regime. As the empire crumbles around them, the star-crossed love between Kylo and Rey reaches its peak.

“Hiraeth” Art - Part One: Bloodflowers

So, after 200k words and two years of blood, sweat and tears, recently I’ve finally finished “Hiraeth”, my Reylo AU set in Serbia during the Yugoslav Wars. Working on this project was something akin to a pilgrimage, where a fucking Star Wars fic of all things helped me process my memories and experiences - and now that it’s completed, it feels so damn good. I’m happy to share the “official” art created by my best friend and alpha reader, Shunak - he made a poster for each part of the story, and I’m gonna be posting them all in the next few days.

This is the poster for Part One, in which the story begins with an orphan girl and an awkward young man meeting under the linden trees, on a gloomy November afternoon in 1993.

Wanna read? Start from here.
