Saw that little picture of Eiden taking all the mascots on a picnic and thought everyone else should go, too... though this feels more fall themed than summer.

Last Thursday, I had to say goodbye to the little love of my life. It came a few days after his cancer diagnosis. He was having trouble getting around and had stopped eating. The vet came to the house so that he was able to pass at home, and I was holding him.

His sister is still with me, but Luke and I were terribly close. The grief is overwhelming, but I know that I feel this way because of how much I loved him.

The last pic of Luke with Leia

Because of his anxiety, he was an aggressive dog with anyone but me, so no one has been able to visit my house for a decade, and we didn't go anywhere but the vet. It was difficult to navigate, but that's how he was. But Leia is a friendly dog, so she has already had visits from both of my parents, and yesterday, we visited my mom's house where Leia met a puppy! Leia is a little old lady, so she was not too keen about the puppy wanting to play, but they got along fine, and we'll be able to have play dates now.

I think she's doing okay. She was confused for a few days. They were litter mates, and she's never been apart from him for more than a few hours. I bought her a new blanket, which she seems to like, and she's sitting with me in the office while I work.

My niece will also be able to visit now & even do sleepovers. She and I have made plans to bake, and I rearranged my home office so that the pull-out bed fits. Changing up some things around the house has helped. It breaks the routine a little and has me looking forward.

...

When he was a puppy, Luke would cry for hours. He was inconsolable if left alone, even with his sister there. My ex was away for weeks and I was losing sleep. I learned to drink coffee and sit with the puppies in the kitchen, because it was better to be awake in the quiet than awake listening to Luke cry. I'd drink coffee with them at 5am and watch Star Trek.

One morning, I remembered fandom existed and went searching for it. I decided that I would try to write again. I connected with all of you. Without him, I might not be typing this. What a gift he was.

Once upon a time, in 2023 to be exact, a pair of friends decided to host a fairytale-themed bang. It would welcome all fandoms and probably be quite small! Or so they thought.

A year passed and the bang turned out to be much larger than either of them had anticipated, with close to 100 authors signed up! The two friends rolled up their sleeves Cinderella-style and searched fandomland far and wide for artists.

As the months passed and the event grew closer to artist match-ups, many of the authors chose to take a different path, leaving 42 who needed partners for the ball bang. A group of 26 brave artists claimed the lot, many of them illustrating for fandoms they'd never heard of.

The authors and artists worked their creative magic. And then one day, it was time to post! For three weeks, they shared their new creations with the world, and this event that had been two years in the making came to an end. But a happy one.

To our incredible authors and artists, thank you for sharing your creativity with us. Until next time.
