When the Tides Held the Moon by @vkelleyart on AO3

What can we say about this project? What a time! This was our first underwater photoshoot and it was a phenomenal experience. Working with Solita Photgraphy was incredible. She was so funny and kind and guided us through everything. Not only did she bring the story to life but she also left our pool as a friend. Please check out her work!

We kept in constant contact with Venessa from the very beginning of this project (When we were literally picking fabric for Baz’s tail). Thank you for all of your help and encouragement. We loved your story and were honored to re-create it in real time. Water really adds a level of romance to everything. We were floating yes but at times it really felt more like a waltz 💕

Baz: @aobittybaby

@aishizaya and @aobittybaby, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your friendship and for bringing my fairytale to life like this. Our fandom is so lucky to have such a brilliant Simon and Baz in the both of you! 😭😭😭

kaz is not an angry adult man who can’t let go of a grudge, he’s a teenager who lost his brother only a few years ago who’s still grieving, but is still naive enough to believe that fathers must love their sons.

inej is not a strong adult woman, she is a child still, forced to grow up too fast and fend for herself. her optimism despite the shitty hand fate dealt her has so much to do with her youth.

jesper is not an adult man who can’t control himself. he is young and reckless and grieving his mother and suppressing one of the most important parts of himself.

wylan isn’t a grown man too sheltered to leave his fathers house despite being well past the age he should’ve left by. he was sixteen when his father tried to kill him the first time, young and still hopeful that his father must love him enough to send him to school to make music, the one thing he truly loves.

and nina and matthias were carefully groomed by their countries to maintain their biases from a young age, but they are still young enough to change.

and kuwei?? a literal child being held captive by the fjerdan government for the actions of his father, frightened and too intelligent.
