My daughter wanted a silly drawing that she could color. She did most of the coloring, I helped with shading :3

Not sure how silly it came out or what's going on, but it was fun XD

Been a minute since I’ve posted anything :P so here’s Gordon from my fic Sunshine ☀️

[chenria]

Two landscape pieces I did yesterday and today (because I need background pictures for some of my illustrations...) Done in Procreate.

I followed "James Julier Art Tutorials" on YouTube to draw these. Honestly, I wouldn't know what to do with landscapes if it wasn't for his helpful tutorials.

Bullet Proof

Summary:

It was just a date.

Notes:

Trying to jump back into writing! Gordon grumbling about overprotective big brother just hit the right spot XD hopefully more stories to come!

OoOoOoO

"Scott, why do you have to be… so damn right all the time?" The question was more of a thought than an audible groan as Gordon lay on his stomach against the hard gravel of the remote French country road. Pain radiated through his chest where two bullets had tried to lodge themselves and a memory of his big brother seemed to mock him with a stern I told you so.

For @mariashades for the 2023 tag mini bang!

This was inspired by The Unusual Family fic! The comparison of Gordon with his mom and Lucy got wedged in my brain after reading Gordon’s chapter 😭

Summary:

One-shot cause I really needed to write something XD

Gordon can't catch a break, but at least he has someone ready to pull him out of the fire.

Grit dug into his cheek as he lay across the asphalt, the burn of it raking across his skin not nearly as painful as the searing heat on his back. Head pounding, Gordon tried to push himself up from the torturous road, the need to reorient himself overshadowing the ringing of his ears and blurring of watery vision.

"Pen-" came out choked from smoke hanging in the air. She'd been right in front of him, but now he couldn't find her and that sent new waves of terror through his chest.

Gordon made it to his knees when hands grabbed his shoulders from behind, fingers wrapping into the fabric of his ruined shirt to guide him to his feet. He didn't have a chance to turn before he was led farther from the fiery wreckage. The heat difference was almost immediate as he was moved to the safety of another vehicle and he collapsed onto his rear to sit against the cool metal.

"Gordon?" Penelope's voice sent bright amber eyes wide as Gordon found her crouching in front of him.

"Pen!" Instinctively, his hand reached out to cradle her face, the image of red trickling past her ear catching his breath. "You okay?"

"Just fine, darling," she smiled, leaning into his touch. "You took most of the blast, I'm afraid."

The blast had been their rental car, one Gordon had greatly enjoyed driving up until getting in after the gala and hearing an ominous click. With his head clearing, he leaned over, peering around their cover to see the vehicle in flames. Wincing, the aquanaut turned back to the woman who'd pulled him far enough away before the bomb had detonated. "That was pretty close, huh?"

"Too close." Penelope took his improving state as a sign to join him against the car, leaning into his side as he wrapped an arm around her. "I'm sorry. I should've checked."

"No reason to check, you're not on assignment, remember?" Gordon placed a kiss on top of her disheveled curls. "Honeymoons don't usually come with assassination attempt warnings."

The cry of sirens in the distance was a welcome comfort as they both recognized the danger of a potential assassin still lurking, waiting to ensure the job was done. If someone was out there, though, Gordon doubted they would try again with the authorities on the way. The sound of a ship stealthily landing on a cleared area of the parking lot solidified that idea. Kayo emerged moments later, a med kit bumping against the aquanaut's leg as she assessed the situation.

"That was quick," Gordon teased as a wad of gauze pressed into his cheek. "Ow."

"Happened to be in the area," Kayo offered with a telling smile. She was there extra security - secret extra security apparently, but he wasn't about to complain. "Wish I could've been here sooner."

As he was encouraged to lean forward so she could examine his back, Gordon found himself wishing the same. Penelope's fingers interlacing with his own drew his attention away from those thoughts and he returned a gentle squeeze. Being a little singed was okay as long as they made it through the ordeal alive.

"Hey, it's our honeymoon," Gordon grinned. "Things are supposed to get hot."

And the subtle laughter from the woman in his arms was worth the body aches.

Sudden Stop

Chapter 3 - Finale

Testing took longer than any of them expected. The first prototype worked, in that each piece connected, but with movements that would have definitely broken the users legs. When Gordon was ruled out as the culprit - he was eager to see the machine work, but breaking his limbs was not what was running through his head at the time - everyone went back to the drawing board. To the blonde, it seemed like a huge setback, but he didn't understand enough of the inner workings to see anything other than a long wait.

His wait had been moved off the island a week in, Alan taking him to Penelope's for a moment of relaxation. If it weren't for his girlfriend, Gordon was certain the stay would be anything but relaxing. The sight of her had calmed him the moment they landed. She was standing by the garage in a pair of gray leggings and the pink sweater he'd bought her on their last trip to New York. The tiny embroidered whale still lay barely visible against her hip.

So maybe he had needed a break and Penelope was the best option. While he let himself relax, his family worked. They sent him updates, because he couldn't help but call every few days. They were optimistic. They always wore smiles for him and he offered one back, regardless of what progress could be given. Patience. Gordon had waited this long. What was one more month?
