Chapters: 3/10

Fandom: Detective Conan                   Rating: G

Relationships: Kudou Shinichi/Kuroba Kaito 

Summary: Desire; the root of all evil.

Someone is coveting Kaitou Kid and will go to any lengths to procure him. In the backdrop of this chilling tale, blossoms resiliently a tale of love.

The first time Kuroba Kaito and Kudo Shinichi come face to face, sparks fly—sparks of intense suspicion.

Shinichi: Yes, that man is my primary suspect for the murders—no, not thievery, murder, I said!

Kaito: Chat, I’m being stalked, need advice—what do you mean “doesn’t count if he’s a detective”, it’s still stalking!

Or, in which Kaito and Shinichi have the most disastrous first meeting possible, in the midst of a horror-murder-mystery that is their life, but sparks somehow still manage to fly.

…

(Excerpt from Chp 2 & 3)

More cryptic nonsense. Shinichi was getting a bit annoyed now, at all the tip-toeing, and marched right in to see an empty courtyard with the large stone fountain in the centre, only occupied by a few coroners and police-officers, no body in sight—

“What am I meant to be seeing?” he asked, turning around in a circle.

—and froze.

.

CHP3

From the mess, Kaito somehow unearthed a box cutter and set about cutting it open.

The outer packaging tore open to reveal yet another cardboard layer, stickers of ‘fragile’ and ‘handle with care’ pasted on it—

“What even is the point!”

—which gave way to a foam package, then three layers of bubble wrap tightly tucked around the precious cargo. So tightly that he had to use the cutter to tear those open as well, before he got to the final layer of old bundled up newspapers.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake!”

This fic is complete and will be updated daily, two chapters per day! Enjoy :)

Here’s my contribution to this year’s @kaishinbigbang

I had the privilege of working with @indelibleme for their fic called Root of All Evil! Crazy to work with an author I’ve been reading for years, it was incredible.

It’s a case fic with some really fascinating artistic murders and ominous messages. (the bad luck of which may have cursed the google doc itself given the number of technical difficulties poor Faith ran into…) The fic itself is great, with Kaito working at an arboretum and running into Shinichi while investigating so often they’re both suspicious of each other. It’s got it all: murder, stalking, annoying coworkers, Kaito as a suspect, identity reveals, banter, flower imagery, and even worse murders!

Please check out the banner below if you, well, want to see Shinichi and Kaito’s actual faces

I just realized I never posted this here! This is my fic for the @kaishinbigbang, with my partner @kaydeegiraffe’s art over here! It’s a Kaito picks up Conan AU, where Conan is convinced to become KID’s assistant. It was a bit of a goofy concept that was super fun to write for, please check it out!

[vanroesburg]

may I present some of my messy artwork for @aerica13 and I’s lovely summer camp counselor au for the @kaishinbigbang!!

this was my first year participating and I had a blast, please check out the fic here I promise it is so funny and aerica is a fantastic writer!

Here's an actor AU for the one prompt event for dcmkkaishinevents!

I was super happy the prompt "Unfortunately, he was very handsome," fit almost perfectly with this fic I'd had ideas for before. This is my first dcmk fic so I'm excited!! Unfortunately I was late to posting, since this fic was. bigger than I thought

[sa9vva]

Hello @vanroesburg!

I was your @dcmk-exchange Secret Santa! I'm sorry for being late with this, but here's your gift and I hope you like it!

I wanted to go for hurt/comfort with your ideas/prompt but i accidentally hurt my hand so i can't draw sooner and ended up with this instead, i'm sorry :")

the setting is they're in college and roommates! and you can see this as either romantic/platonic relationship!

<under is scrapped pages>

[vanroesburg]

Oh my god?!!!! This is awesome!! This is great comfort, I love people having to watch over Shinichi’s recklessness. “I’ll make sure to tell you the next time I get stabbed.” Normal things to say to your friend who is worried. The heishin is perfect💕 and they are super cute, I absolutely adore this! Thank you so much!!

[vanroesburg]

So sorry for the delay @knitsweatervests I’m your secret santa for the @dcmk-exchange !! Hope you enjoy these Cat Thoughts for several of the dcmk characters! I really liked researching different cat breeds for them, it was super fun

[vanroesburg]

Oooh outsider pov sounds interesting!

You put that you’d love some hurt/comfort with a happy ending, are you still up for it?

Heiji is definitely the best! He’s so best(est) friend coded! Would love to have a Heiji in my life

As for my favorite character, it’s Kaito! With Shinichi/Conan/Heiji a close second. And I like college AU too, just seeing the characters in the same college is nice

I would love that! Angst and whump is great to me but I definitely prefer it with comfort/a happy ending.

I love Kaito too, I have such a sweet spot for the KID-focused movies and episodes. College au for me just falls in line with my preference for anything post-Conan Shinichi, and also some good old slice of life. Also because I like coming up with wild unexpected majors or classes for them haha

[vanroesburg]

It is I again! Your dcmk exchange gift giver!

Happy New Year! May you have a great and fulfilling year ahead!

As for the exchange, I saw your list and you have some ideas/promts, do you have something you really wish to see? Or maybe something outside of your list?

And who is your absolute favorite (I'd burn down the world) character(s)? :D

- dcmk gift giver :>

Hello again! Great to hear from you!

Hm… if it’s something I may not have mentioned, I really like outsider pov things, like friends’ perspectives on a couple’s relationship, or even something like a waiter overhearing weird conversations from the characters. Let me know if that makes any sense lol. Otherwise, any fake dating or college aus are fantastic!

Absolute favorite character is Heiji actually!! He’s my best boy but funnily enough I don’t make enough content about him…

Close second is Shinichi/Conan, I’m nothing if not predictable.

How about you? What are your favorite characters? Favorite tropes/scenarios?

[vanroesburg]

Hi there! This is your DCMK secret santa checking in! I hope you’re having a nice holiday!

Hello! I'm a bit late so a belated happy holidays and happy new years to you! I'm excited to hear from you, and for this event!

movie redraw again, aka That Injured KID Scene

+ closer to detco style vs a bit of my own style

[ID: Two digital art pieces of Kaitou KID, from detective conan movie 23, Fist of the Blue Sapphire. KID is an indigo-eyed, light-skinned teenager with short spiked brown hair dressed in his Kaitou KID costume. Both images show KID in profile, slumped against a wall and blood on his shoulder and face. He is sweating, a pained smile on his face, with the sunset in the background framing a blurred crane. There is a monocle barely shown on his other eye. End ID.]

[vanroesburg]

a shinichi for painting practice from a while ago

[ID: Kudo Shinichi, a teenager with blue eyes and short brown hair with a cowlick, sits in a wire chair. He is wearing an indigo sweater with beige pants and black sneakers. He has one foot propped up on the chair, an elbow on his knee, and a hand against his cheek. He looks bored. The background is tan, and there are visible brush strokes. End ID.]

[vanroesburg]

the conaning

(im doing movie and episode redraws)

[ID: Three pages of digital sketches from Detective Conan movie 3, movie 19, and episode 11 the Moonlight Sonata Murder case. The sketches are in black and white, very messy, and often still have construction lines. Conan, a small boy with large glasses wearing a suit and bow tie with a cowlick in his hair, is drawn in a variety of expressions, sizes, and poses, from anger and doubt to desperation and smugness. KID, a teenager dressed in a white suit, cape, and top hat, along with Haibara, a girl with bob hair and sharp eyes, also appear sparingly, and there are small comments littered about the pages matching the character poses. End ID.]

[vanroesburg]

Here’s my art for Charlie’s fic I’ll lead the way for the @seasonsinthearchives’s Summer in the Archives Event! Their fic is so so good, Scottish safe house fics are my ultimate weakness, and their exploration of Martin and Jon basically re-learning how to live is so sweet. Big thanks to @jawbonemage for beta-ing! Please check it out!

[ID: A single page comic of Jon and Martin. Jon is an Arab man with long salt and pepper hair, wearing a blue shirt and dotted with scars. Martin is a lighter-skinned fat man with short curly hair with a streak of white through it, wearing a tank top. The first panel shows Martin rubbing his eyes, looking away from the bed, waking up. The second panel shows Martin sitting up, a disgruntled expression on his face. The third and fourth panels show Martin turning to find Jon, and smiling softly. The last panel shows Jon, fast asleep with a slight frown on his face. He is buried in covers, one arm under his head and the other curled into his chest. His hair splays out around him, and his shirt is rucked up from sleep, showing his back. Rays of light from an unshown window cast across several of the panels. End ID.]

“...did you need something, Martin?” Jon asked.

“Oh, uh, no, sorry, I was just wondering if– if you needed anything else? Biscuits, or help transporting anything?” Martin gave another flash of a nervous smile. This was normal behaviour, Martin was behaving normally.

Jon shook his head, but he did pick up the mug of tea, which Martin counted as a win. “No, Martin, all I need is your research on cases #0121102 and #0112905. Thank you very much,” Jon said primly, taking a sip of the tea.

His face promptly scrunched up. His eyebrows knit together, he drew up his nose in disgust, and the twist of his mouth couldn’t be interpreted as anything except utter distaste. God, Jon’s face. This was better than he imagined.

Okay, act normal.

“Oh my god, Jon, is something wrong?! What just happened?” Martin asked, maybe laying the concern on a little thick.

Jon spluttered, confused for a moment before glaring at Martin, “What happened is your bloody tea’s–”

Time to sell it.

“The tea?” Martin said, cutting Jon off quickly. He swiped the mug from Jon’s desk, took a swig and swallowed it. God that was awful. He’d need to wash his mouth out after this. “What’s wrong with it? It tastes fine."

Fic for the @podcastbigbang! It’s pretty much a s1 au where Martin loses his patience and pranks Jon, triggering not only a prank war but also character development. Naturally, they fall in love.

Thank you immensely to the betas that carry my lifeblood, @franzis-frantic-thoughts and @atlas-of-galaxies, this fic would not be the same without you.

Please please check out the work by @pass-the-salt, who was gracious enough to record this nonsense, and @trans-gerry-keay for the absolutely adorable artwork they did for this fic.

[vanroesburg]

here is my piece for @crowsong111′s fic, Caves and Cypress for the @podcastbigbang!! This is SUCH a good fic about Barry and his life before the podcast, and I of course had to try and make the most awesome moment come to life. At least it glows, right? Please check out the fic, it’s great!

[ID: Two versions of the same vertical full-color digital drawing of Barry Bluejeans from The Adventure Zone blowing away three thieves in an alleyway with a spell. The first has a slight radial blur, and the second does not. In the center is Barry, a white human man wearing glasses, a red cloak and traveling clothes, one arm stretched upwards to cast a purple spell. His backpack and a magic circle lie below him, the magic circle producing lines of magic that circle around and up into his palm. His legs are placed apart, and his head is turned upwards to his hand with a ring on it, where purple circles and strands of power are flying from it. It is hard to see his expression, but his eyes are abnormally colored and he looks stern. The purple spell that emanates from Barry’s hand is Circle of Death, pushing out in rings across the whole alleyway, with small particles floating about. Three thieves are being blown away from this spell, one pushed off their feet against the wall to the left, and two towards the viewer, one on the left running away and the other on the right blown upwards, flying towards the viewer. The thief on the left blown into the wall is a human man in a simple white shirt and rolled up pants, with blonde hair pulled into a ponytail. He looks shocked, his legs bent, one hand that used to hold a dagger pinned against the wall next to his head, and the other against his chest. A small open bag of coins lays near his feet, abandoned. The left thief running away is a raven Kenku dressed in orange and yellow clothes, a hood pulled over their head. They are looking out of the corner of their eye at Barry as they run, mouth open and hand splayed in front of their face. The right thief is a dark elf, dressed in armor with wrist gauntlets and several daggers strapped to his leg. He is fully airborne, his legs and arms splayed with feet facing Barry, and his face hidden by his white hair. The alleyway behind them all is brick, washed with tones of brown and green. In circles coming from the center, the brick is a bright light blue. End ID.]

Martin loves his job as a professor of English Literature at UCL. If it wasn't for his pretentious asshole of a colleague Jon Sims. Their already less than cordial working relationship only grows worse when they are forced to share an office. Of course, when Jon needs someone to pretend to be his boyfriend at a literature conference, Martin is the only other person in their department going. A deal with high stakes and unforeseen consequences is struck.

Or: 5 times Jon and Martin hated each other and 1 time they didn't

This is a gift for @vanroesburg for the secret snowflake gift exchange organised by @seasons-in-the-archives I hope you like it!!!!
