Check out this absolutely beautiful art that the supremely talented @paintedaster made for chapter 15 of What A Soul Can Accomplish

______________________________________________________________

Fic is currently up to chapter 34 and still going strong! If you're interested in reading it, I write/post approx 1 chapter per day. Art will be added to chap 15 once AO3 decides to come back online :/ Please go give the artist's tumblr some love if you like the art!

[contumacious-arcadia]

yes pls!

Reblog this if you would not only accept, but welcome fan art, moodboards, etc. of your fics

All of these used to be so common for people to show their appreciation of different fics and authors, and I think it’s a shame people don’t do it anymore. I love seeing fan work for my fics!!

A Mile In Your Shoes

Writer @contumacious-arcadia

Artist @quentintin7

Vaggie and Alastor are trading barbs (as per usual), when Alastor issues a challenge she can't ignore. Unable to resist the temptation to prove him wrong, she takes on his tasks for an entire day and immediately regrets it.

This fic is part of the 2024 Egg-plosion writing event.

It is based around lovely artwork by the exceptionally talented @quentintin7

I like to think of this as a snapshot of a day in the world of WASCA, (my long fic) before everyone started to actually get close/open up to each other. 💚💚

Staring at WASCA's 190K+ word count, thinking back to simpler times when I assumed it would take me about 75K to tell the full story 😆 Oh, how naive I was.

Dracula, the accused, has drained Lucy's blood and left her on the brink of death. Dracula is likely to be charged with wounding. The elements of wounding (Criminal Code (WA) s 301(1)) are

(a) wounding has been done; (b) wounding was caused by the accused; and (c) wounding was caused unlawfully.

To drain Lucy's blood, Dracula broke both layers of skin (Devine v R (1983) 8 A Crim R 45) and drew blood (Jervis (1991) 56 A Crim R 372). Additionally, Dracula caused Lucy's injury. But for Dracula preying on Lucy, Lucy would not have been injured (Campbell v R [1981] WAR 286). Because Dracula attacked Lucy, he was the operating and substantial cause of the injury (Royall v R (1991) 172 CLR 387). It is highly unlikely that Dracula had a legal authority to injure Lucy. Thus, the elements of wounding (Criminal Code (WA) s 301(1)) are likely to be established.

Furthermore, Dracula is likely to be charged with Grievous Bodily Harm ('GBH') (Criminal Code (WA) s 297). The elements of GBH are

(a) GBH has been done; (b) the accused caused the GBH; and (c) GBH was inflicted unlawfully.

GBH is defined as 'any bodily injury of such a nature as to endanger, or be likely to endanger life, or to cause, or be likely to cause, personal injury to health' (Criminal Code (WA) s 1). The injury is determined as if untreated by the court (Lewis v Western Australia [2008] WASCA 94). Lucy's injury caused her to look 'ghastly', become 'chalkily pale', and impair her breathing. Lucy needed to undergo an operation to save her life. When transfusing blood, Lucy required a large quantity of blood that took a heavy toll on her blood donor. Had Lucy not undergone treatment, it is likely that her life would have been in danger, likely fulfilling the requirement in s 1.

It has been established that Dracula was the cause of the injury. Applying the eggshell skull rule (Criminal Code (WA) s 23(b)), any previous injury Lucy may have had that exacerbated the effects of the injury are not relevant.

To prove that Dracula's actions were unlawful, the prosecution must prove the act or omission causing the injury was 'prohibited by law' or 'not excused' (Houghton v The Queen (2004) 144 A Crim R 343). Dracula was not authorised to take Lucy's blood under any relevant laws (duh). Therefore, the prosecution will likely establish GBH against Dracula.

I wish there wasca way for me to talk to people who'd have shared interests with me, but sadly such a thing will remain on the cusps of my imagination.

Lucifer starts out as a jerk in my fic, if you're interested.

Know of any Radioapple fics where Lucifer starts out as the jerk/dick in the relationship?

Unfortunately, I don’t have any radioapple fics where Lucifer starts out as the jerk 😔 which is a huge fucking shame.

I did recently go through the Hazbin tag on AO3 and saved a TON of fics that caught my eye, so maybe one of those will have it. I’ll keep you posted 👉👉

Not to self-promote but my radioapple series “Just Kiss Already” kind of starts out with Lucifer being a jerk in the beginning. It’s intermingled with him slowly developing feelings for Alastor and feeling obligated to help him for helping Charlie, but his bitchy side REALLY shows itself in the fourth installment “Chaggie’s Totally Legitimate Dating 101 Crash Course.”

I enjoy Lucifer and Alastor being mean to each other, but part of Lucifer’s character arc is going to focus on his aversion to sinners and how he thinks of them (in light of his growing feels gs to Alastor, a sinner who definitely earned his place in Hell) so he’s still going to have a lot jerky moments.

EXCERPT: It takes him nearly half an hour to find Alastor.  The bayou is massive .  Trudging through the thick underbrush, Lucifer couldn’t help the sense of wonder washing over him.  Alastor’s creation is beautiful , and as he moves deeper and deeper into the lush environment, he can’t help but think it somehow seems endless.  Like he has stepped into a whole different world.  He could have spent weeks just wandering around and seeing everything, touching everything, smelling everything- but today he was on a mission.  He had a stray Overlord to wrangle.

Finally, Lucifer feels the tell-tale static prickle along his aura begin to gradually intensify.  

He’s close.

His heart speeds up in his chest.  He’s suddenly shaky and uncoordinated, legs wobbling like a newborn fawn.  A nervous chuckle slips out of him at the thought.  

Stumbling through the treeline, he comes upon Alastor laying on his back next to an absolutely enchanting bubbling brook; arms up and crossed beneath his head, staring up at the faux-sunset.  The Overlord doesn’t acknowledge his presence, though there is no way he isn’t aware of the King.  

Lucifer waits.  Long minutes pass, but still, Alastor doesn’t move.

Shit.  I have to say something.

“Hey, Red.”

Silence.

“You’re upset with me.”

Silence.

Come on Luci, you can fix this.

Change tactics!

Laying down beside the Overlord, Lucifer stares up at the stars just beginning to peek through the fading light.  The sky is a mix of pinks, purples, oranges, and reds all swirling together around the distant horizon.  This.  This is true art.  Alastor… holy hell.  He hasn’t seen anything like this since Eden, and for a moment, everything around him fades and he is transfixed.

Amazing.  

I can not believe he created this.   

Actually, I can believe it.  He surprises me every single damn day.  Sometimes I honestly think he can do, well… anything .
