The Dark Nights of 1947

Concept art for Ash I.P. Shepherd by Bunni, an amazing artist over on the Ink Wielders AU Discord.

A shadow forgotten, A dept unpaid, A world begotten, Left only to fade. A war with darkness, Armed with light, A heart of blackness, A clicker of white. A flashlight and firearm, Bullets and batteries, A dead girl's charm, The writers' gallaries. An Inky Demon, An archaeologist, A Cup's finger beacons, And an ancent mad darkness.

Higher Beings of healing light, Step into the shadows of a city ablaze. Friend -- not foe -- they heal. They leave the bound, who dare not seek out the light. And those who are bound, Are left behind, to fade, To die.

He has the on his head all the time, but much of the time he has them up above his forehead.

So yeah, this is what this is for. If you have questions about my au, this is for them.
