How does the great Sandpiper successfully smuggle 130 children out of the Nilfgaard-occupied territory of Hamm? With the power of a forgotten story, a traditional song, and a masterful lie.
A piece for my upcoming fic, The Piper of Hamm, based on The Pied Piper of Hamelin, next in my fairy tale series.

It’s too bad those two never really hugged in canon, right?
And if there’s one part of the story where they really needed a hug it would be in the beginning of "Mockingjay", so this is where I would place this picture:
"I wish they were dead and we were, too."
It’s not the happiest hug but I feel that’s when they would need one the most.
Ivy for the lovely @flowers-all-around-me for getting me Hardspace: Shipbreaker (best game ever!!)
[ID: a digital drawing of Ivy Alexandria wearing an ornate red dress. Ivy is a white woman with red braided hair and shaved sides. She has some wires and computer parts on her exposed temple, and a blue brain-like organ is visible. She is sitting under a tree on a sunny day, reading a book in her lap. The sunlight dapples through the leaves of the tree onto the grass, her dress and face. She is wearing an old-fashioned red gown with puffy sleeves and silver embroidery of flowers. She is also wearing white summer shoes. The drawing has a peaceful and warm feeling. End ID]
