traced a couple photos so i could practice colors and rendering :D

chapter 4 and chapter 48 of The Prodigal Son

Ooohhhhhhh wait. Wait I need a minute.

The way Bucky doubts his personhood but not Percy’s love. Bucky I promise the way Percy loves you is not the same way he loves Riptide. Percy would throw Riptide away in a heartbeat for Bucky.

Also something something Percy’s love for his father even when his father has only ever used him as a tool? Perhaps?

This is a scene from chapter 40 of The File: Dumb Texts Behind The Scenes by denimbeans (@thedenimbeans).

This is a bit of a crack fic of the behind the scenes of a series I've recommended in a post before:

https://archiveofourown.org/series/2375215

This is the extract for the drawing:

Percy and Bucky showed up dressed as Morticia and Gomez Addams—Bucky in an immaculately tailored suit with a sword by his side, and Percy in a high-necked black shirt and long black skirt, regrettably reporting that he didn’t have the cleavage for the dress.

They mean so much you have no idea, they're so feral for each other, to a level I can only dream to achieve.

“Go kiss your boyfriend.” She snapped under her breath as she passed by on her way to the kitchen.  “You know what? I think I will. Excuse me.” He stood up, ignoring her horrified look, and walked right over to where Percy was speaking with Tony, draping himself over his back, hands settling over his stomach. “Cara mia.”  Percy leaned back into him. “Mon cher,” He returned.  Bucky pressed his lips to the side of his neck, and, in one smooth motion, he bent over to secure an behind Percy’s knees, and stood, lifting Percy with him.  “Night, Tony.” Was all he said, leaving an absolutely stunned billionaire behind. Stephen, too, looked astonished. “Is that normal?” Tony dropped his head into his hands. “For them? Absolutely.”

The scanned version kind of desaturates the colors a bit so below I've added a close up:

And cannot forget the possibility that beans might give us a map of the bodies, which is very exciting

This series holds such a dear place in my heart. I'll make the cover for the third when it's finished since I don't start unfinished fics as a personal rule.

never going to stop thinking about this line. it’s so true i am going to cry thinking about it. that’s my boy !!

and it’s true too! Percy was made to be a bedtime story for rick’s son to help him feel better about his adhd/dyslexia. Percy is literally a manifestation of a father’s love for his son. like, the story/world has diverged from that nowadays, but the original percy jackson series (and especially the lightning thief) was just a creation of love. Percy WAS made to be loved.

also bucky is so sweet i can’t with their relationship ohhh my gooddddddd
