Hi friend!! Okay so it started when I saw this post - it's stunning, I loved the atmosphere it set!

It reminded me of this novel idea I worked on with @dragon-gem for years called E&J. (October marked 5 years since we came up with this BEAST of a story!) It takes a while to explain the novel, but suffice to say, my favorite character is this guy named David who is the masked bodyguard of the visiting Princess Elya de Vere. Even she doesn't know his identity (he goes by "Ebony" on the job). There's a sweeping romance between them, but a lot of the time, Ebony is standing on guard duty for him while she pines for him (and he's pining too, but a little more stoically, and has the benefit of no one seeing his facial expressions).

So when I saw your art, I showed Dragon, and we ran with it for about 5k words! Honestly it just needs proofreading and then could be posted - though I struggle to find time for editing these days.

Here's a snippet:

anyway your guys fic is soooo good. seriously.. so much thought put into it and the way the words just flow so smoothly is beautiful, you both capture lloyd and harumi's dynamic so perfect, it always gets me! cant wait until its finished!! keep up the good work 💖

🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much Anon!!! What a sweet ask! We had a heck of a lot of fun writing this one. It's sad to see the end approaching, but getting to interact with such amazing readers like you has been a true delight!

To answer your question, we update every Monday! Tomorrow we're posting chapter 12 of 15. I'm working on finishing chapter 15 soon as well!

Hi friend!!! You get a treat!

Have fun with these little fluffballs running around underfoot! Beware the one on the right, he will climb up your leg if you don't pick him up RIGHT NOW.

Hi friend! Have a treat, courtesy of Kai getting manhandled!

Kai’s captor went silent and began marching him forcefully down a different hallway. Despite protests, he offered no further reply, instead pulling him along for several minutes. Kai began to try to free himself in earnest, only to realize the worst. Oh. He’s as strong as Cole. I’m stuck. I’M STUCK! AND I CAN’T DO SPINJITZU!

cowboy au!!! cowboy au!!!

(Ask game here!)

lol cowboy au is a very new and mostly undeveloped idea! I basically just wanted to show off all the characters in western wear... I can't draw so I decided to write it ahaha. The gist is that Lloyd comes to this isolated western town (Jamanakai) for work, trying to start anew. He realizes that the companies in charge of the railroad and the local gold mine are extorting the town and making people wage slaves.

Character info and major spoilers below :)

19. Rewrite a scene from your WIP like a screenplay or script.

ohhhhhhh boy that's a tall order. Have I mentioned I am TERRIBLE with screenplay format o_o I can try, but I'm gonna make it a rb of this post

34. If your WIP was a texture, what would it be?

I had someone say they wanted to hear about my cowboy au (woefully untouched, that one), so I guess I'd say it's... hairy? Like horsehair?

Otherwise it's probably the consistency of baked potatoes. I think they are cowboy food. And the story is kinda bland like one rn because I haven't figured out the plot lol.

35. If your WIP was a taste, what would it be?

I just answered this! So let's make it my Lloyd WIP. It tastes like blood, kinda coppery and sweet. >:)

Man, I wish I could say that I was being creative with it. I started that idea back in high school, actually, and the fact that I still have the file is kind of a feat 🫡
