High Rollers Aerois - fanfiction - silence and patience (pining and anticipation)

2022-08-02T07:25:28Z

Title: silence and patience (pining and anticipation)
Fandom: High Rollers (Aerois campaign)
Rating: G
Length: 2740 words
Content notes: Quill/Lucius, set in some vague post-current-canon (episode 154, The Knights of Grief) near future, some spoilers. For the fan_flashworks prompt "iktsuarpok (n. Inuit) the anticipation of waiting for a loved one". Title comes for "Dress" by Taylor Swift.
Author notes: I've had this idea in my head for *months*, I'm so glad this prompt got me to write it!
Summary: “Having a secret boyfriend would be very romantic,” Lucius said hopefully, eyes sparkling as the words called back all the romance novels he’d read in secret as a teenager, afraid of being mocked for them. “And I love having secrets with you!”

First lines meme

2020-12-22T15:15:37Z

Borrowed from thisbluespirit : share the first line for the first fic of each month (for the past year, that is). I should be working but my email inbox is too overwhelming so I am meme-ing instead :P

January: As the first pale light of dawn touches the marshy meadow, the music changes, and the dancing fairies take their leave. (The Queen and the Piper - Flower Fairies)

February: From her vantage point on the deck of Stormchaser, bow in hand, Fayeth stood guard as the officers went down to parlay with the half-elf and the goliath who seemed to be in charge of the force in front of them. (Shockwave - High Rollers Aerois)

March: People keep asking Lucius if he's looking forward to going home, and it bothers him in a way he can't explain. (Coming Home - High Rollers Aerois)

April: With everything that happened in Volcanos, it’s not until he reaches his room and starts taking off his things so he can collapse into bed that Quill remembers he still has Sentry’s painting in his scroll case. (Sentry's Painting - High Rollers Aerois)

May: Sentry dropped her head onto her open textbook with an audible thud. (Studying, Selfies, and Hot Chocolate - High Rollers Aerois)

June: N/A - so have the closest one, from 30th May: Lucius stares up at the grey metal ceiling, wide awake despite his weariness. (Beyond the Cradle - High Rollers Aerois)

July: As he runs up the uneven stairs, Quill's also desperately running through options in his head. ((If I Could) Fly - High Rollers Aerois)

August: Nell Wilson and Hilda Annersley strolled out into the moonlit grounds of Plas Howell, arm in arm. (Moonlight becomes you (it goes with your hair) - Chalet School)

September: Clarissa and Bill stood on their drive, waving madly, as a gleaming Bentley drove off and several horses cantered away. (Into the Warmth (the Amazing and Interesting remix) - Malory Towers)

October: Even in the surprising comfort of the mad wizard’s mansion, rest didn’t come easily to Yesper. (In the Mad Mage's Mansion - High Rollers Curse of Strahd)

November: Shutting himself in his room for the night, Quill can finally give his attention to the question that’s been bothering him ever since he first saw the rings on Lucius’s and Fayeth’s fingers. (Feelings in my Headspace Rearranged - High Rollers Aerois)

December: N/A (yet, as I can't post the Yulefic!). So have the last November one: Quill stopped reading aloud from his book, placing a talon in it to hold it open, and looked over at Lucius. (Breathe, breathe in the air (Don't be afraid to care) - High Rollers Aerois)

I think the main theme may be "fic opens in someone's bedroom (yet is g-rated)", which applies to April, June, October, November, and December - well, In The Mad Mage's Mansion is very much not g-rated, but the non-g-rated parts don't happen in the bedroom ironically enough. It may be amusing to know that when writing out the list of months, I skipped straight from March to December... feels apt for this year!

Yuletide letter 2020

2020-10-18T21:59:28Z

Dear Yuletide Writer,

First, thank you so much for this! Here are general notes, and some ideas for each fandom. I know this looks rather long, I'm just trying to make it as detailed as possible in case that makes it easier for you. I adore each and every one of these fandoms, so getting fic for any of them will make me a very, very happy person!

Experiments in digital colouring!

2020-09-29T03:03:46Z

I've been getting into drawing into never-ending lockdown (I've posted some before - all D&D character art, as I started out with the Critical Role Pub Draw show, then started also drawing characters from High Rollers). But I don't have a scanner, and getting the lighting to work and the colour balance looking okay on photographs can be tricky (or I lack skill and patience with photographing it, also a possibility ;) ). Then I started thinking, can I use GIMP to make the paper background less noticeable / the actual drawing stand out more? Or even remove the background altogether? And one thing led to another, and next thing I knew I had spent three days colouring! Yes, I am in fact very familiar with the concept of "project scope creep", believe it or not :P But I've been having a lot of fun with it, and I really like how the two I've done so far have turned out, so here they are!
