Robin picked at a thread on her jeans, shaking her head. “Like, we’ve been feeling emotions all our life, Eddie. And it fuckin’ sucks sometimes, but we’ve been doin’ it since we were breathing. Steve–he stopped feeling anything but anger and hate and bitterness at thirteen. Imagine having eight years of emotions come crashing in all at once. Like, it has to be terrifying.

One time I hugged him and he started crying, then started screaming.  I really thought he was going to lose his mind–it freaked me out. That happened a lot, the strong emotion, then a meltdown.” Robin shook her head, “I asked him what happened and he said he was just feeling too much. Like, just crying was enough to shatter him.”

“You know, you could have just ditched him. You didn’t owe him shit.” Eddie regretted the words the minute they left his mouth, wincing at how they sounded.

Freeze used her closest hand to pinch him, giving him a look, ignoring the hiss and ‘ow’. “Gonna ignore you said that, cause I know you didn’t mean it. And I don’t owe him. But it’s who I am. I don’t ditch."

Amazing commissioned art from @trashpocket depicting the flashback Brain Freeze/Robin is talking about in Chapter 5 of Conventional Weapons . Getting to add visuals to this story has been such a joy and I'm so lucky I've been able to work with such amazing artists.

A Danger Days crossover with Stranger Things? In my 2023? It wasn't on my bingo card, but I love the concept so much! @cwstau was awesome enough to commission me for an image for their crossover fanfic, so please check it out at their tumblr! ♥ I absolutely loved the visuals and had a great time with a large background shot. And again, thank you so, so much for commissioning me.

(If anyone else is interested in commissions, feel free to check out my commission page HERE!)

Through the static he’d hear electric war, clawing down his spine and nerves, injecting him with words of freedom and defiance. Words of the Enemy, Words of the Dead. Words of the Marked.

Words of those who hated him, and yet loved him all the same. They hated Harrington, they hated the Exterminator, but those airwaves blanketing the City reached him anyways, an ephemeral hand of forgiveness. The gentle air of a door opening to escape. Asking him to go.

And every night, towards the rising dawn, he’d hear the same refrain from the one who called himself Viz.

“The next one goes out to all the Exterminators, to the Draculoids, to every last beautiful C/R/O/W boy. I love you, I miss you, come and get it.”

It was meant as a taunt.

But in Harrington’s broken brain, the one reaching out for the future, for the hope, for the wide road that was bright and shining and full of color–

–maybe he saw it as a promise, too.

I was so lucky to commission @foolscapper to do basically what I consider the cover art for Conventional Weapons, my love letter to both DD and ST. Still ongoing but going strong.

Thank you so much for the amazing art and capturing exactly the vibe that this story needs

Pony Boy (Steve), Viz (Eddie) and Brain Freeze (Robin). No spoilers here but a really nice study of the characters, and shows some of Eddie’s tattoos.
