several different sketches w hermes (featuring seph too) from @chrysanthemumgames from the past few months!!!!!!
i would like to come back to that first blocked out painting and refine it when i have more time :) referenced off 'souls on the bank of the acheron', which is moodier than how i usually draw hermes, but still <3 original painting (which is my personal favorite classical depiction of hermes ever) under the cut
These are delightful as always, and I love the one that references the 'Souls' painting! I'd be super keen to see the refined version if you do get to it. :)

I've been encouraged by many friends to share the Fallen Hero fics I wrote, so, hello Fallen Hero fandom, please enjoy my take on Ricardo Ortega suffering (part 1). Set during Heartbreak. Major character death and all that :'D AND SPOILERS FOR FH:REBIRTH
Title from Son Lux's Live Another Life <3
Read on AO3
Note: Isabelle Becker is nonbinary 💃
It took Ricardo too long to notice that Isabelle wasn’t following their slow climb anymore. The shock of losing Themmy, he thought, the stench of bodies, the overwhelming sense that they just should have bombed the building instead of going in, because it was already all wrong. He should have—he was in charge, and god he hated his stupid hero name right about now.
“Wei.” He stopped moving. His breath had suddenly decided to halt in his rising panic. “Isabelle’s gone.”
He didn’t blame Wei for not noticing either. The armour with the dampeners had to be heavier than he could even comprehend, and he had to keep his own mind safe from whatever was doing this.
“Where—” Wei sighed, sounding more than exhausted, but just as he was about to say more, a sob came from below. Something that almost sounded like words, though distorted by fear. Ricardo threw Wei an anguished look as he had to physically hold himself back from running to find Bel. Wei, a bead of sweat falling from his temple, jutted his chin at him. “Go.”
“You’ll—you’re sure? I’ll—”
“Be. Quick.”
Ricardo just nodded and sprinted down. Behind him, he could hear that Wei had turned around and started to follow.
An apartment door was open. 412. Bel was frozen a few steps into the room.
The first thing he noticed was that Isabelle had removed their mask. The second was the gun in their mouth. The third was their finger ready to press on the trigger.
“Isabelle!”
Instincts fully took over, his body acting faster than his mind, to get that gun anywhere other than in Bel’s fucking mouth. Their grip was strong, though, and the barrel clacked against their teeth when he pulled it away. He couldn't get them to let go of the gun fully. Their eyes were…distant. Glassy. Terrifyingly determined to go through with this.
“Stop, please, what are you doing?” he pleaded, aware of how desperate and panicked he sounded. “Please, Bel, look at me. This—thing, it’s influencing your mind. You need to put up your shields, please! Mira—look at me!”
But Bel wasn’t looking at him. They turned their head to the window. Ricardo’s heart somehow sank even further down. Bel’s grip on the gun did not lessen, nor did they move their finger away from the trigger, but at least he was holding them, keeping them in place near the door. They wouldn’t run that way. He was stronger than them, and he wanted nothing more than for that gun to be on the floor, but their hold was—he didn’t—anything more would hurt them. He wasn’t going to break their fucking hand. This is Bel, this is—his—
“Mi amor,” he sobbed, out of breath, and out of options. Wei had to be close, the dampeners were their only chance to stop this from happening without—he didn’t even want to think about using an electrical shock to concuss Bel or—
The gun went off.
His hand let go.
Isabelle ran.
Time slowed. With the flash of green still behind his eyelids, without thinking, he took off after them, threw his arms out, spread his fingers, anything, to try and catch them, to break their momentum. But they were Sidestep. They dodged.
Ricardo lost his footing, almost broke his nose on the floor, and could only watch in horror as Bel, a smile on their face, smashed through the glass and fell.

I often complain about my life but one thing I am grateful for is that I've almost never been shot at with a cannon. That happened all the time in the old days and it seems like it sucked a lot
Ethan's Definitely Best Birthday Ever (No Adams Allowed)
ehehehe. a little gift for my friend @detectiveethanulrich's birthday! i've been having so much fun talking blorbos with you and imagining Shared Detective Verse, so I was inspired to throw Noelle over to you to help you both celebrate.😌please, hold your applause.
rating: idk noelle feels like she should always have an R rating by default but technically like PG probably
tags: terrible gifts, noelle's humor, vampire pining, smoking
word count: ~800
🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉
Noelle does not ask or wait for an invite to drop her back against the wall beside Ethan, leaning to bump her shoulder to his arm in greeting. “Hey there birthday boy,” she drawls, “smokily brooding all by your lonesome, handsome?”
Ethan’s next puff on his cigarette is interrupted by a snort that becomes a cough, and Noelle seems not only unrepentant but rather pleased by his brief choking fit. (He’s fine, okay, if the trappers and the evil clowns haven’t done him in yet, a little nicotine in the airways won’t get him.)
“Not anymore,” Ethan acknowledges, clearing his throat and tapping some ash off his cigarette. He’s smiling a little though, because he’s terrible about fully committing to the bit. She's not sure if it's on purpose or not yet.
She holds a little garish bag out to him, the print on it a rainbow of balloons, and gives it a careful wiggle of a shake. "Don't get too excited, it's not my first pick of a gift for you," she warns.
He switches his cigarette to his other hand so he can take the bag from her, and he eyes her with a crooked smile. She knows that look, it's the 'do I want to ask' look, and it's followed by him looking down at the bag as his smile tilts into what she thinks is the 'she'll tell me even if I don't' look of amused defeat. "I'll temper my enthusiasm," he promises dryly.
"My first pick was one of those huge cakes, but Adam absolutely refused to jump out of it no matter how much I promised to do all my paperwork on time forever."
His face goes pink all the way to his ears and she grins toothily, incredibly proud of the reaction as he shoots her the same sort of glare she gives him when he comments on her and Nate. That's what friends do, you see, they bully one another about their vampire-not-love-interests.
"You're as likely to do your paperwork on time as Nate is likely to become addicted to his phone," he says, partially sidestepping the main event smoothly. Ethan looks down at the bag with a sigh, clearly aware she won't leave him in peace until he actually looks at whatever her second choice of a gift was. She knows that he knows her well enough to know it's going to be something he absolutely never asked for.
"So you're saying there's a chance." She bumps into him again and wiggles, playfully trying to knock him off balance. "Go on, open it! You know you're dying to see what I got you."
His long-suffering sigh is clearly for show as he plucks at the string holding the handles together, pulling it loose to peer warily inside. She gives her own long-suffering sigh because honestly it's not like it's going to be a hornet's nest why must he doubt her generosity so. Then he furrows his brow and reaches the not-cigarette-and-handle-holding hand in to grab the hat so he can read it, and that long-suffering sigh feels Authentic™.
She laughs brightly. "So we can match on missions! Two federal agents, that's us!" she explains, elbowing his hip repeatedly as though that might jostle a laugh out.
He tucks the Federal Boobie Inspector hat back into the bag and she sees his smile he tries to smother unsuccessfully. "I am not wearing that on missions, Noelle."
"So you'll wear it off missions?"
That manages to get him to laugh, the quiet little ones he does when she's trying to egg him on and manages to break through his Attempted Nonchalance. "No," he says at the end of his chuckle, though it's a lot firmer than most chuckled-words are.
She's pretty sure she can get him to put it on eventually anyway.
"Fine fine. Look what else is in there though," she encourages, wiggling her foot back and forth to bap it against the side of his. "Promise the other thing you'll probably actually like, because it's not technically really from me."
"I like things from you just fine," he assures softly, but he looks under the hat anyway to find the little ziploc baggy of some of Nate's special Vampire Cookies-- sugar cookies made into little bat shapes and covered with edible glitter. The crooked happy smile emerges again, and he looks over at her. "Thanks, Noelle. Very generous of you to share."
"I know. I'm amazing like that," she agrees, beaming at his soft laughter. She considers offering to harass Adam if he doesn't properly wish Ethan a happy birthday himself, but it seems like that would ruin the mood. Adam is good at doing that, after all. Even just in Thoughts. So instead, she just gives him her best pathetic puppy eyes (she's trying to learn from Nate) and pleads, "And because I'm so amazing and generous, you'll let me bum a cig, yeah?"
She's probably better company, anyway. Even if Adam does have better tits.

instead of replaying TWC i started replaying Fields of Asphodel and i am SUCH a sucker for a soft shy awkward Persephone with Hades. constantly having to pause and just get cuteness aggression about a scene with them together both being socially awkward dorks.
thank you hobbs! ♥ noelle the Gremlin She Is-- (matcha just answered over here)
Green: What is your OC’s favorite piece of clothing?
god, depends how you define favorite. like in terms of (1) making Adam yearn for the sweet relief of mortality, or in terms of (2) making Nate laugh that really great honest laugh he does when he's surprised into it, or in terms of (3) Comfy?
Federal Boobie Inspector hat specifically worn while at a crime scene.
specifically the time she wore both the "hooray!" underwear and the scared hamster thong under that. was it comfortable? no. was it worth it for nate to pull down one pair of underwear and then laugh so hard he needed a minute when he was greeted with a second pair? 100%
an old oversized hoodie of edward and bella that tina got her years ago and it's faded and the elbows are worn but it's SO soft and cozy.
Chamomile: What does your OC do to relax?
follow adam around and ask him "what are you doing" followed by as many "why"s as she can before he breaks something about it
it used to be she'd go to a bar and try to find someone for the night.
these days she seems to find herself gravitating to One Vampire In Particular and just spending a quiet evening in. (her favorites, though she won't say it, are when he wants to read to her and she gets to curl up in his lap and close her eyes and just listen to his voice and play with a little fidget toy.)
Chai and matcha for Noelle and Sai? Sorry if you've already done those, in which case, feel free to pick another one you would like to answer for them! ❤️
hi seren! o/ and this works actually, they've each done One of those so i'll cover the other now! ♥ prompts from here
Chai: What is your OC’s comfort food/drink?
Sai's comfort food... 🤔 I do think a good ramen, comfort food keep it a little simple keep it something warm and nourishing.
His comfort drink... honestly, tea again lmao. both his little treat AND his comfort. probably specifically a nice matcha latte though.
Matcha: What is your OC's preferred little treat?
ooooh Noelle has SUCH a sweet tooth. I think her favorite little treat gotta be like a real fudgy chocolate cake. With like a chocolate ganache instead of frosting, something almost obnoxiously rich and toothache inducing and indulgent. and then some rainbow sprinkles on top.

hiiii jaaaaaaayy. ♥ thank you for asking after my woobies. prompts from here!
Lapsang Souchong: If Noelle was a scented candle, what would she smell like?
i mean part of me wants to cheat and use how i describe her blood to smell to nate, but that also feels too Specific to Nate Personally.
so i think she would smell like... hm. she's more complex under the surface than she pretends to be, so as funny as it would be to say she's a scented candle of monster energy and buttercream frosting, I'm saying maybe something like patchouli and tobacco. something a little Too Much even, that you either love or hate.
Ginger: What always brightens Noelle’s day?
an absolute disasterpiece of a text from Nate that's partially incomprehensible even with decoded context clues. the fact he tries for her is charming, and seeing him Absolutely Suck at it makes it even better.
or Adam nearly pulling a jaw muscle clenching it so hard because he just discovered her latest prank.
Matcha: What is Sai's preferred little treat?
he doesn't have nearly as big of a sweet tooth as noelle, so for him a nice little treat would actually be just a nice cup of tea; I know Nate's got to have some bougie blends he's gotten during his travels and he and Sai sometimes share a cup.
he also likes hwachae, i think. he'd enjoy lots of fruits and something bright and fresh and refreshing.
Pu-erh: What does Sai do when he's stuck indoors for a day or two?
that isn't even uncommon for him. he can get a little wrapped up in various projects sometimes, especially if he's throwing himself into some research. he's a homebody at heart. so he might do some reading, he might work on some tinkering projects for people; if he's at the warehouse he's definitely in the lab excited at all the various tools and supplies they have stocked, or in the library working through some books Nate's recommended on various supernaturals.
This was on a post about how it's ignorant and privileged to wear headphones in public and I fear its already become a part of my vocabulary. Must everything harbor a moral failure.
