Another character from my book, The Grandest Tales of Clementine – Kickstarter coming in July!
Where there are Noble Paladins and Faithful Steeds there are bound to be fearsome beasts to battle them. And sometimes, as an artist, you just want to take all your favorite parts of animals and smoosh them together. Shad (short for Bringer of Shadows) was the product of just such a smooshing.
All the loveliness of a possum’s snaggly little snoot plus some tusks and some weird horns and claws and lots of fur and some fire thrown in for funsies. Shad is a complicated guy (on the outside and the inside) and maybe he /does/ have a bit of a habit of burning villages to the ground - but I do love him.
And he does his work well! If they gave awards for razing villages (they don’t :c) he would certainly take home first prize.

when grayson brings lyra back from her panic attack, she describes his scent as cedar and fallen leaves. later she talks about miles end and how its unlike any place on earth where she's jumped in the creek and ran in the woods. where would you smell cedar and fallen leaves?
i like to think he smells like home :)

Yeah we only got AveryJameson crumbs in The Grandest Game but those crumbs were really worth it.
AveryJameson shippers have been fighting for their lives since book one to prove that Jameson really loves Avery and doesn't just think of her as a prize and reading this from a non-biased p.o.v (i.e Gigi) solidified the fact that Jameson is so down bad for Avery that everyone with two eyes can see that.
P.S: if you're still an AveryGrayson shipper please seek help I'm begging you

sunlight seeped through the curtains of your room - well technically it isn't your room, but you did just wake up in it, feeling safe and cozy. courtesy of the warm body pressed against yours. the peace of the room broken by a loud alarm that you're quick to hit snooze on.
the warm body that usually is already up and into the day by now. his blond hair resting atop his pillow and his arm wrapped firmly around your waist. its rare that you wake up and grayson is still in bed with you, let alone still asleep. you've both missed each other this past week not spending much time together, aside from when grayson slipped into bed late and you left early for work.
so seizing this moment you snuggle deeper into his hold feeling his grip tighten ever so slightly. you know you have a job to get to in and hour but you couldn't be bothered to ruin this moment. who cares if a bunch of entitled adults miss out on coffee for the first time in their life?
just as you close your eyes again you hear the loud blaring of your alarm set off. come on. your eyes open and you twist around trying to find your phone to throw it across the room. which in retrospect doesn't sound like the best idea but its the one you went with - the loud crash waking grayson up unbeknownst to you.
sighing you move to stand up knowing you should start to get ready for work but a tug on your waist is all it takes to have you sprawling back into the arms of a now awake grayson hawthorne.
"oh hello you," you giggle.
"stay," he mumbles.
"i have work in an hour gray," you inform him.
"i don't care, stay."
"i'll get fired," you laugh - ignoring the fact that about ten minutes earlier you were fully prepared to stay.
"i'll buy the damn cafe for you, just stay a while with me," gray's soft voice says as he presses a kiss to your forehead.
sighing you relent, "good morning gray."
"good morning sweetheart."
you both lie there for a moment just enjoying the peacefulness of the sunlight room, holding one another.
"these are my favorite moments of the week," grayson whispers.
"what, having me fired?" you joke.
"no, this right now, us. moments with you just lying here together are my favorite." you melt slightly at his sleepy timbre.
"me too," you sigh. "i'll tell you what, clear your schedule for tomorrow, you and i are having a date day."
that brings a smile to grayson's face - and grayson is devastatingly handsome normally, he's heart stoppingly beautiful when he smiles. joy washing over his features, almost childlike. you love that you bring it out in him, the only one who brings it out in him.
"sounds perfect," he says pressing an achingly tender kiss to your forehead. "can't wait sweetheart."
