This is my contribution to this year’s @kaishinbigbang ! There are 4 more pictures below the cut, but they are also kinda spoiler-ish so please read the fic Ultima Ratio first if you have the time! I had the honor and pleasure to be partnered up with the lovely and talented @sokikuro and I’m super grateful and happy that she turned this idea into such a masterpiece. More rambling also below the cut!
I’ve always wanted to do a medical AU, it’s just something I feel very connected to, but with so many projects going and and no really good idea I always pushed it aside. I was really reluctant about joining this year’s bigbang but eventually couldn’t say no and since this year’s theme was AUs I was like “okay, let’s finally do this”. I thought a lot about a possible plot for this one because I didn’t want this story to be about characters suffering and getting sick, there wouldn’t have been anything appealing about that, at least for me. Luckily my lovely partner @sokikuro was completely on board with this and the fic focused on healing instead, which made me really happy.
Speaking of which, I can’t put into words how thankful I am to @sokikuro for turning this into such a masterpiece! She took this simple idea and turned it into such a beautiful story, filled with so much emotion and life. I adored the attention to detail and characters and how emotions were conveyed so scarily well through actions instead of words. I’m a big fan of “show, don’t tell” and I think this fic is a perfect example.
I could write a long comment about the story but I’ll leave that in the comment section of the actual story. Instead, a big thank you (again) to sokikuro and my utmost gratitude for turning this event into such a fun experience and giving me the opportunity to draw some pictures for those beautiful scenes and getting to contribute something to this wonderful story.
