#Springfest 2025

"After its first resounding scream, the ship surprised me by leaning into her, and whispering, beyond my hearing. At first, they exchanged whispers, every so often directing a glance my way."

Happy @springfest-rote! It's my first RotE fest. How lucky I was, to be paired with @willowjh, who has written something so achingly beautiful, so full of yearning. I have not felt inspired like this in a while.

Please read @willowjh 's incredible Springfest story, The Lame Stride, on AO3 + a bonus illustration there ;]

HERE IT IS! For the @springfest-rote event, I collaborated with @lairn. Go read Fool's Spring, in which you may find out what this light blue thread symbolises, and why there's a cake floating around the Fool's head :)

Happy Springfest All! 🪻

I’m bringing up the rear with a dragon! I’m very honoured to submit this artwork in collaboration for @little-cute-pink-horrible-being’s fiction “No Kind Words” Thank you for your constant patience with me.

Their heartwarming story can be found here:

My second piece of art for this Springfest features a melancholy Thymara and a bullish Sintara. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had to draw this many scales but it was nonetheless very rewarding and endlessly satisfying. Dragons are awesome!

Thank you so much to @springfest-rote for organising this year and here’s to the next.

What a difference 60 years makes juxtaposition of Dodge Charger 383, 1966 & Dodge Charger Daytona R/T, 2026. Stellantis has revealed the production version of the new 8th generation 4-door Charger at Springfest 2025. It will be available in full electric or twin-turbo straight 6 versions. Originally the Charger was only available as a 2-door pillarless hardtop, the first 4-door Charger arrived with the 6th generation in 2006

Final piece for the Springfest 2025!

You all, I had a blast working with @smoky-solitude! This fic is enormously domestic, so damn fluffy, and SO MUCH FUN! (Also, did I mention the smut. The smut is both hot and funny and I adore it.)

Go read it here: Dancing on the Edge of a Cliff!

Summary: Fitz offers the Fool a pastry he swiped from the kitchens one day, and seals their kindling friendship. They share many quiet moments in the decades thereafter. Moments Fitz withheld from his writings as he danced around his feelings for his friend through stolen glimpses, hidden jealousies, private longings, secret kisses, and eventual acceptance. Fitzloved | Teen+ | friends-to-lovers, missing scenes

Happy Springfest everyone!!

I wrote this fic for @springfest-rote using the prompt: "A vignette style fic of missing scenes that depict an introspective Fitz falling in love with Beloved over the course of their lives."

I collaborated with two incredible artists: @artandlurking and @everywaythatmatters !! You have both blown me away with your beautiful art, and it was such a joy to work with you!!

🌸Happy Sprinfest!🌸

My artwork for @springfest-rote! I was so lucky to be paired with the writer @mellowthorn and the artist @viola-halogen, they both did such wonderful work! I just loved reading the pov of best boy Nighteyes <3

The prompt was:

A quiet piece from Nighteye's perspective, exploring the bond between him, Fitz and the Fool, set during the cottage ea of Fool's Errand, a few days after Nighteye's health incident, he and the Fool are alone in the kitchen, giving them a chance to "discuss" the truths that Fitz would rather ignore.

Check the fic and the other artwork on ao3!

Happy Springfest!

I’m so excited to finally share the art I’ve been working on for so long! I had an absolute blast being partnered with the amazing @mellowthorn (writer) and @i-was-supposed-to-leave (other artist) and working on this wonderful story about my fave trio of characters.

Prompt:

A quiet piece from Nighteye's perspective, exploring the bond between him, Fitz and the Fool, set during the cottage ea of Fool's Errand, a few days after Nighteye's health incident, he and the Fool are alone in the kitchen, giving them a chance to "discuss" the truths that Fitz would rather ignore.

Here is the link to the fic on AO3—go check it out!

Thanks to my partners for all their hard work and to @springfest-rote for putting all this together. Happy Springfest everyone!

Chapter 2 of Dancing at the Edge of a Cliff, written by me and art by @riekesart , is posted! Our Fitzloved cowpokes made it to @springfest-rote at Buck Saloon. You can bet they’re going to have the rootin’ tootin’-est time!

Read it here!

If you haven’t checked out the rest of the Springfest fics, they are amazing! Give them some love here!

Happy Springfest!

It was a rare treat contribute to @springfest-rote‘s amazing collection of art and fan fiction, and I was sincerely grateful to @tragediegh’s patience and creativity in this collaboration. Their fiction, “Concerning Grief and Eldest Daughters” can be found here:

This accompanying illustration is Nettle, burdened with responsibility and purpose, but lightened by love and connection. She’s a firm favourite among the Hobb’s characters for me. The impetus to draw her in a tender and heavy moment was a boon.

It’s a pleasure to still be in this fandom on Tumblr after nearly 10 years (!!!). Humbling and joyful in equal measure.

Submission for the Realm of the Elderlings Springfest! I had pleasure of working with the wonderful @smoky-solitude, who wrote the FLUFFIEST and sexiest cowboy AU for these two: Dancing on the Edge of a Cliff.

“Do we have to go?” I asked at last, the words falling from my mouth like rocks. My spouse universally loved parties, and Springfest was her favorite. I knew I might enjoy myself once we arrived, but I dreaded going. My family would be there, and all Buckfort had been invited. We should go. Still, I did not want to. A Western AU where Fitz has to, horror of horrors, go to a Springfest party at the local saloon with his family. There will be complaining, dancing, cards of various types, coffee, and Fitz's silly opinions about beer. No real plot spoilers, but there are character spoilers through GF.

The second chapter is out today! Go read it!! <3

Here is my contribution for Springfest 2025 ! I was paired with @gwenllian-in-the-abbey on this fanfinc

The fanfic is chaotic and has a gremlin goofy energy (idk how to describe things) 👍

You have :

Icefire as a looser making a podcast with Prilkop the MAGA, the child (of girl boss Tingalia) birthday, some traumatised servants of Clerres, and a cute fitloved in the background.
