"Serena Wendy Campbell, will you marry me?" "Of course, I will."

Hello! So, there were a couple of you who messaged me about making this artwork available for print when I first posted it. So, I thought I'd do that now for the 4th anniversary of their rooftop engagement!!

Anyway, I hope Bernie and Serena are enjoying married bliss, and still trading flirtatious banter over open surgery at Hale City and not stepping a single foot in Holby.

dad!nico who doesn’t shave when he’s on the road bc he doesn’t want to get rid of where his baby kissed him last 🙂🙂

the famous twin walls are lit by bonfires each night and the whole city seems to glow because of it, especially from the sea

its organized in multiple districts built around three large hills: the tallest hill houses the ostwick chantry, the second tallest is where the citys ancient hall is located (public decrees, meetings before the teyrn and announcements are made within and outside of the hall), and the third hall is where the citys armory is found

ostwick holds a deep reverence for the sea, something beyond deep respect. while andrastian, the city still has longstanding traditions around offerings to the sea several times a year

seaglass is treasured and prized. the ostwick chantry’s windows are made of sea glass rather than stained glass and the trevelyans donated a large sea glass window a century ago. sidri donates a similar window to the lowtown chantry in kirkwall

The Quest is extremely physically taxing. He spends all day walking with little rest, plus there's the growing weight of the Ring, little to no food or water, and poor sleep. Given all of that and the life-threatening wounds he suffers (and the chronic pain that at least one of those wounds brings), it wouldn't surprise me if his immune system is completely shot after all is said and done.

He also may not necessarily take care of himself when he's sick. Throughout the Quest, he has to constantly push himself beyond his physical limits. He has to keep going no matter how exhausted he is, no matter the pain or starvation or extreme thirst. After the Quest, it may be hard for him to convince himself to rest when he's not feeling well. He may feel like he can't afford to let himself rest.
