What is Lamplight? Short answer, a DnD/Fantasy Third/Last Life Renchanting AU!
Long answer, here’s 20 Questions, the ficlet meant to introduce the concept.
Medium answer, Ren is a powerful god stuck in the form of living fire. Martyn is his sole follower. Martyn and Ren help free one another from imprisonment by the Watchers and are now traveling the world on a two-man adventure of fond companionship and occasional arson.
This AU has been written as I feel like it with absolutely no regard for chronology. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask! I also have a tag for it, “lamplight au,” which is where any writing, asks, or art go.
I’ll update this post with writing and art as it happens. Writing is organized chronologically, art is organized by artist and as it’s posted.
This AU was planned with the help of @/unexpectedly-haunted, whose designs for Martyn and Ren are linked at the start of the art section!
You can also find an archive of Lamplight on my writing blog, @driflew, under the same tag.
[AU itself is platonic, but ship content gets made for it occasionally]
[Please do not spam the chats or the askboxes of Martyn, Ren, or anyone else with talk of this fic! Don’t need to annoy anyone with it, thank you!]
the funniest dynamc between my boyfriend and i is the chef/baker divide runs so deep. experimentally my boyfriend is a genius with figuring out what flavor profiles will not just taste good together but also will be enjoyed by the specific audience he is cooking for. a recipe is not a guidebook so much as a suggestion and he will frankenstein ideas together to get exactly what he wants to happen. he also didnt know that sugar will not work properly if you dont mix it with the wet ingredients in banana bread and when i asked 'why didnt you do it in the order of the recipe' he said 'i didnt really think it mattered'. autistically i exploded his head in my mind
an @mcytmarch gift for @zombiecleo! (yes i did do a double take reading that url) he gave me a good selection of people in his requests, but i jumped at the chance to draw life series cleo (last life specifically). i’m very glad that their reputation as an arsonist has returned in limited life <3
i think an animation fits the rule “more than a rough sketch” right? :D
