Hey @appleskirts sorry for the suuuper late response my inbox ate your message.

The artist no longer goes by that name, she now goes by Ashley Helal. I think she might have taken down her older works because she's trying to distance herself from it and create her new identity/art style.

She uses less vocals now so it's a different sound but I can garuntee it's the same artist because I happen to know her :p Here's her bandcamp if you are interested in checking out her new stuff!

“Do you have any idea what you’re doing?” He asks him, voice low and husky. It makes Arthur shiver. For once it wasn’t just his conscious telling him to stop but the very thing trying to kill him. He’s still running. Arthur only has one enemy in this world, and it’s trying to grant him mercy.

“I’m fully aware.” Arthur challenges him, “Keep going.”

“I wanted you.” Kiku says finally, and the very strength of this sentence sends Arthur’s heart into overdrive, “And I still...I still want you.”

(His young legs can only carry him so far, his chest is aching, he’s going to die. He could run, he needs to run, he’s scared.) 

A moment falls between them. Silent but tense. They are separate but there’s something there. A momentum that has stopped, a dare that’s been fulfilled. And now a breathless next step to take. 

(The boy meets a dead end. In his panic, he had taken all the wrong steps and all the wrong turns. He spins around and his hunter stands there. Watches him. It doesn’t threaten him and it doesn’t try to intimidate him. Even scarier than a beast that roars is one that is silent. It watches him.)

(He is mesmerized by its beauty.)

To @appleskirts, I chose your prompt for an illustration of one of your astounding KikuAsa fics. 

Crumps, I hope you like this! I’m sorry for any inaccuracies and differences in interpretation, particularly taking the liberty to make a massive, amalgamated beast from their various hunting experiences. 

It's also been on indefinite hiatus for awhile. If you do decide to read it (it does have some good writing) I'd say good luck o/

AAAAAA NICEEE!!!!!
