Chibi commission for @fieldlands! They asked me to draw the ReiVoloRei polycule from a fanfic they've written. Basically it's a Volo Wins AU where Volo gets sad that Rei is gone, so he makes a clone Rei, but then it turns out the first Rei is still alive so HEY HE'S GOT TWO REIS NOW (just ignore how the first one kinda hates his guts).

Rei's got a lot he should be upset over. Like the opera phantom who has a habit of blackmailing his employers and creeping around his dressing room. Or the multiple times he's been kidnapped by said phantom. Or how his only suitor is an unhinged weirdo who thinks kidnapping lonely chorus boys into his secret underground catacombs is the height of romance. It probably says something about him that what he's really upset over is having to share his stalker with his fiancee.

Technically this one went up on AO3 yesterday but I was waiting to see if the link preview would cooperate before making a post. It didn't. So we're doing this instead.

Anyways, first time writing Volorei! Blame @fieldlands for corrupting me into this ship. And for this ficlet request of a highly specific Phantom of the Opera AU. Akari's in there too but all her involvement is off-screen.

If you want to request a ficlet from me (up to 1000 words), consider supporting me on patreon! You'll get early access to my stuff over there too. Y'all should check it out.

Alright shameless promotion over so as one last note I'll leave you with a doodle based on this fic:

Bonus points with the next messages in this chain which is still VoloRei. What 150+ years of yearning does to a man.

Some art of ACD Volo and Rei for @peccaberry, who got sick recently :(
