Scene from Chapter 17 of Reforged by Tricksterburd on ao3. I absolutely love this fic so much—great angst, lots of tenderness, and I really fell in love with Wild’s characterization. So much that it’s influenced my second play through of botw and what I decide to do first.

Okay, so I’ve read Tricksterburd ‘s fics “Ever after” and “Reforged”, and I loved this sweet little scene between Time and Wild in chapter 14 so much, that I had to make a fanart out of it!!!

For context, that’s the moment:

I couldn’t decide between headcanoning James as having been Indian or black, and then I realized that that’s literally not a real problem, so I now headcanon that James was mixed. Which makes Harry mixed between white, black, and Indian, muggleborn, and pureblood, but raised by white muggles.

I was introduced to the series by audio tape. We rented the audio book from a store by the Supercuts. Book one was three boxes, two cassettes each. I had no reference for the cover, or the font, as everything came in Blockbuster like boxes with generic labels, like they had no cover art. Business name, phone number, address, book name, box #/#. In my case, 1/3. White paper, blue ink.

And I always imagined Harry with actual lightning as a scar! Just like here! Traces across his forehead, something obvious, and important. It was a big attack, it left a big scar, right?

After a box, rather than listening to the tape and going back and forth to the store, I got the book itself instead. Collected all the coins and bills I could find. Bought it at the Walden's. Read it by flashlight under the blanket. I think I finished the book by morning.

This was 1999. I was what, 10, 11? Just really starting to get into wild fantasy and magic. I'm reading and writing at a crazy pace, I've got The Fellowship of the Ring sitting in the corner waiting for a moment because the first chapter was too many names to consume in one sitting. I'm a kid high on meds for ADD and tourette meds. My brain makes pictures out of pictures and won't shut up about new ideas to write about!

So imagine that, and seeing a pasty white boy, and a little scar. I wanted better. I'm not much of an artist, but I loved to write. So I made fanfiction. I lost that spark. And I miss it.

Then I see THIS amazing artwork, and it's everything I imagined as a kid! This piece is wonderful, and exciting, and brought back a lot of happiness for me.

Like this post and this post, I was working on ref designs for another one of our homebrew fantasy races, this time Corvions. They use inspiration from corvids and chameleons, and can have various feathered patterns on their faces.
