This started as an experiment in using only white at varying levels of opacity on a black background, using only the eraser and blender for shading. If the painting is shown on a white background it entirely disappears.
I'd show a screen shot of that but it would be really boring 🤣
In any case, it ended up being a lot of fun (if frustrating at times) and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Prompt: Crow/Snake
Lucanis shook his head in annoyance. He’d already heard gnashing growls of A Liar And A SNAKE! I Will Eat His Heart. and He is SULKING! The latter earned him a fierce glare from Lucanis, to which Spite merely stuck out his tongue. It was due to this monopoly on Emmrich’s time and attention that Lucanis was surprised when the mage dropped back to walk alongside him.
I think Lucanis isn't the only one who struggled to truly leave the Ossuary behind. I've been circling around and around in there for almost two years now.

A little something for the first day of Lucanis Week! Today's theme was "Work/Leisure". I hope you like it! <3 Thank you to the mods at @datvcompanionweeks for holding this event again this year! Pls remember to rest!

Summary:
A peaceful moment, where nothing matters but the sound of rain against stone and leather.
"You know as well as we do that there is no denying the First Talon."
"And yet here I am."
"Yes, and you lost your business because of it," the other fired back. "Do you wish to lose more precious things? Your apartment? That little bookshop owner?"
Lucanis felt his temper flare at the mention of Emmrich, while a feeling of dread settled in his gut like lead. This Crow had a lot of nerve bringing Emmrich into this, and they would pay for it by being the last one Lucanis killed, so he got to watch as his entire team was wiped out. Even if it wasn't a kill he could make tonight, a Crow, past or present, never let a target go.
His face betrayed none of the emotions rushing through him; he had been put through the most brutal tortures to ensure he would survive them without breaking, and he would not crumble now.
The next chapter is up on AO3! Featuring a very sassy Emmrich lol

Chapter Snippet:
It was shortly after noon when the door bell to the bakery rung, and Lucanis swore as he set his sandwich aside and marked his page in his book. He briefly wondered if it was Emmrich stopping by for his bread or a curious customer. The latter always seemed to show up when he finally decided to take a break. He stood and grabbed his apron to tie back around his waist and headed towards the counter.
It was only because of intense and brutal training on concealing his thoughts and emotions that allowed him not to react when he saw who was standing in his shop, looking over the different goods in the display cases. It was a woman about his height with long black hair, pale skin, and green eyes. Lucanis would have taken her to be Nevarran if he hadn't noticed the way she carried herself — posture casual but attentive, with footsteps that barely made a sound.
So, @larxicana wrote an absolutely delightful fic for the Mourning Coffee Emmcanis Minibang in which Lucanis is a baker. It's called Hearth and Honey, and you should totally be reading it right now! In Chapter 1, Larx describes a tomato basil bread that climbed into my synapses and wouldn't leave.
So I made it.
It is delicious, and I will 100% make it again, though I might tweak it a little to amp up the tomato flavor. I might also bake it a little longer or hotter for a more sturdy crust, but it was completely done and delicious as-is.
Recipe below the cut.
Adapted from this recipe from Salad in a Jar.

Chapter 4 is up! It's definitely one of my favorites <3

Chapter Snippet:
It was a knock on the door that startled the baker from his story, causing him to look up at the clock in horror. "Mierda!" he hissed as he scrambled to mark his spot in his book and move Spite out of his lap so he could stand. He had completely lost track of time. Lucanis did his best to brush the cat hair off his shirt and was suddenly glad he opted for black pants. As he hurried to the door, he paused in front of a mirror to make sure he looked alright and that his pants and shirt weren't wrinkled in any strange way. Lucanis brushed some hair behind his ear, then sighed at himself as he tore himself away from the glass.
By habit, Lucanis paused to look through the peephole then unlatched the few extra locks he had installed, knowing from experience that a just a deadbolt barely counted as security. He swung the door open and smiled up at his guest. "Emmrich," he greeted.
The taller man smiled in return. He was dressed smartly in pair of brown slacks and a white shirt beneath a forest green cable sweater, his sleeves pushed up past his elbows to accommodate his glimmering grave gold. In his hands he held a bottle of wine and tossed over one arm was a long, maroon coat. "Hello, my dear," Emmrich replied. "How are you this evening?"
"I am doing well, thank you. Please, come in." Lucanis stepped aside to allow the other to enter. As he was closing the door, he caught sight of Ms. Ida watching from her door with her mail in hand. When their eyes met, she gave him a playful little smile.
"Very handsome!" she said in a hushed tone and offered two thumbs-up.
Lucanis felt his face warm as he bit back a groan and glanced up towards the ceiling, silently asking the Maker for help. He quickly closed the door and locked it again.
The next chapter has been posted! I hope you enjoy it! <3

Chapter Snippet:
"Signore Dellamorte—"
"Ah." Lucanis tipped the blade upwards, skirting it's sharp edge against the assassin's skin, causing them to take in a small, shaky gasp. "You are going to listen and listen well," he said. "You will go back to Antiva and tell them I wish to be left alone. If they do not heed my request, I will start putting their people down."
"You would kill your fellow Crows?" the person asked.
"First of all, I am no longer a Crow," Lucanis corrected them. "Secondly, there are other ways to ruin a Crow's career other than killing them." He glanced down to where the other was gripping their binoculars in a death hold. "You know, there are a lot of joints and tendons in the hand. It is a very fragile structure. One good twist or slice could put an assassin down for good. And if that does not work, well…" He leaned closer to the assassin's ear and lowered his tone to something dangerous. "They will find out how I got the title ‘Demon of Vyrantium’. Do I make myself clear?"
