This is a piece of a commission of a character who I played in a D&D campaign called Zeitgeist: The Gears of Revolution who is half-my-character and half-NPC, requested by the author of the campaign for publication in another campaign set in the same world.
It is both the character Kasvarina Varal, whose story I did not write, and my own character, Summer, Eladrin bard, who over time remembered and confronted the fact that she was indeed that very same Kasvarina Varal, pictured here.
Our GM was posting updates to a forum that the author of the campaign watched and commented on, and when I came into the game a little late, the two of them decided in secret to me, and in an act I would forever consider One Of The Coolest Things To Ever Happen To Me, that my character had accidentally fit several criteria for an extremely plot-pivotal NPC, and that I would from then on being playing that NPC.
Five years later we finished the campaign and I began drawing a piece that I uploaded to the internet as a work-in-progress and I never returned to it. Three years after that, the author of the original campaign reached out to me and asked me to complete it for publication.
I was extremely happy to be given the opportunity not only to finish this piece but to give it the time and care that matched my feelings for it and this character's place in my life.

h, m, u from the writer asks! :)
Thanks for asking! c:
(Fic Writer Asks)
H: How would you describe your writing style?
Hmm...if I had to name parts of it, I'd say: close third person perspective, a focus on emotion/character work/character voice, and a certain flow or rhythm? The last bit feels ambiguous, but I can't find a better name for it.
M: What’s the weirdest AU scenario you’ve ever come up with? Did it turn into a story?
Probably my mer!Cullen AU. I constructed a whole world where the Dalish are largely seafaring and Templars are these nightmarish mermaids (I started this shortly after reading Into the Drowning Deep, which is fantastic if anyone is into horror books about killer mermaids forced to the surface by environmental pressures/global warming) with Circle Towers under the sea.
The fic itself is about Cullen deciding to leave the Templars and washing ashore where Emmaera is conducting a study of some Elvhen ruins there. I've written part of it! Unfortunately, like most of my fics that require a lot of worldbuilding, I stopped having fun and haven't picked it up for a while.
U: Is there a pairing you would like to write, but haven’t tried yet?
Lots of platonic relationships! I have lots of little bits and pieces of fic about Bethany and Maria, Wen and Morrigan, Wen and Sera, and so on.
Romantically, I have been meaning to write out some of my Merrill/Isabela feelings. Also I have been thinking about Andraste and Shartan a lot, not necessarily in a romantic way. I just think they're Neat. But writing them coherently would require a level of lorediving that I'm not prepared for at the moment haha
