Laaate birthdaygift for thismightyneed o3o She asked me to draw her what we’ve decided to call the Steam Punk Old Men (because concept!Pitch looks like a Steampunk Pirate).

And here’s a mini drabble for it too:

It is not often they meet like this, but when they do, it always takes place on Sanderson’s Island. It is calm and peaceful there, and it is one of few places where the Shadows know not to cross a line.

It is the one place where Pitch knows he can shed his armor, and not have to worry about being knifed in the back as a result.

They have a ritual about this, but it all ends in the same way, with the two of them resting in Sanderson’s large bed, the two of them wrapped up in warm cotton robes, that are made to be uncorrupted by nightmares or dreamsand.
It helps keeps things neutral in a way, which suits them both.

It is also the only place, where Pitch knows he can rest peacefully. He admits this to Sanderson one time, as the other sits with the Nightmare General resting up against him, while Sanderson gently massaged his face and scalp.

“You have no idea what it feels like,” he mumbled tiredly, gently soothed by the others touches, “to fear the coming of another day, or another night. To be afraid all the time… You know nothing about that.”

~I know that I am your friend.~ Sanderson replies in a gentle whirl of sand. ~And that is enough for me.~

Okay, so have you ever read any of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files? Because if you have, you know just how awesome necromancy X paleontology can be. 

(“They say he stole the only known specimen of an Andrewsarchus skull.”

“Did he? Why? To sell it?”

“First, yes, third, no, second…he had some ideas about how to find out what it looked like when it was alive.”

“But Sandy, what did he think he could do that others couldn’t?”

Sandy just smiles at Jack. “Not think, kid. Knew.” He laughs. “But you wouldn’t believe me if I told you now. If we’re lucky, you’ll never see anything that’ll make you believe what I could tell you.”

A roar sounds in the distance. Faint, but not faint enough.

“But I’ve never been that lucky,” Sandy says.)

Original Prompt:

ROTG/Hellboy

I…I don’t know why I want it. I just do.

Oh my gosh, you guys, I had fun with this. We’ve got eldritch abomination husbands, blood red blacksand, North as a magical USSR supersoldier experiment that didn’t go as planned, Bunny as…Bunny (in a mostly human setting, hella yeah), Jack as the newbie agent, possible Rainbow Snowcone vs. Christmas Cookie conflicts in the future…I wanted to write a RotG/Hellboy AU after rewatching Hellboy recently and I think I made it work!

THIS IS THE MOST MAGICAL THING THAT I THINK I HAVE EVER READ

Sometimes I feel sad because I think how tiny of ship blacksand is compared to others, but then I remember 8000 BLACKSAND AUs and everything is 8000 times better for heck sure!
