I thought that I would share a recent Ritsuka fanart I did.

Preliminary Sketch: http://legendary-kitsune.deviantart.com/art/Preliminary-Sketch-Ritsuka-A-147151863

Lineart: http://legendary-kitsune.deviantart.com/art/WIP-Ritsuka-Aoyagi-147016946

Final Piece: http://legendary-kitsune.deviantart.com/art/Gift-Ritsuka-Aoyagi-147024114

I actually really like the Preliminary Sketch and the Lineart better than the final piece. XD

I just permitted myself to read volume 5 of Loveless (I'm sort of rationing them out for myself. What can I say, I like to torment myself with anticipation.) And this is what it caused me to draw...

Would that not make sense of a lot of things that don't make sense otherwise? ;)

Title: The Magic Goes Away
Summary: Soubi tells Kio a fairytale. Sort of.
Rating: PG
Warnings: Big fat spoilers for volume 8 of the manga, and sad AU what-ifs. (Also, if I'm wrong about Kio and you've read further than me, don't spoil me. :3 If I'm just FORGETTING something, because I do that, hit me with a stick.)
Pairing: Kio/Soubi-ish.
Disclaimer: I don't own Loveless or Soubi, but someone who loves him should.
Author's Note: It's not the fic I told valenstyne I'd write, but it's sort of similar. They could be bookends, I guess, when I finish the other one.

Am I done yet? Yes, I think I am.

( You strained to tell me your whole truth; that you were not mine to save, that you could not change.... )

I saw this on icanhascheezburger.com, and... I kind of cracked up.

( Constitutes spoilers for vol. 8 of the manga? In a really weird way. )

...with a tattoo of "Beloved"/"Loveless"/"[your fighter/sacrifice name]", right?

Anyone ever seen pictures? I keep seeing this image, but I don't think it's a tattoo-- if it is, it's very well shaded (I say, having some tattoos myself).

( Because it's true )
