“…when I’m most sure the Empire will prevail.”
Decided to do a more intimate picture of Akuliina, ended up with this. Quote is one of the things Quinn says if you talk to him randomly and he doesn’t have a conversation waiting. You can tell it’s very tender because neither of them are wearing gloves. (also: proof that they don’t spend all their alone time ripping each other’s clothes off.)
[CLICK FOR LARGER] Akuliina, The Emperor’s Wrath, Lord of the Sith, The Golden Conqueror (also the name of her new flagship), Daughter of the House of Volkov, and Queen of Kuat. Image title is from Up and Dance, which isn’t necessarily her theme song but fits the ideal of a passionate, power-hungry, fire-themed Sith pretty well: Continue reading
Okay enough of this nonsense, let’s get back to Space!Akuliina. It is Camp Nanowrimo month, after all.
He got a text from her a few days later after work. She’d acquired his number a few weeks before, though she hadn’t made much use of it up to this point.

What sort of answers? he texted back.

“Would you like to know a secret?” he asked his wife while they were preparing for bed.
“I want to know all your secrets, Captain,” she purred, adjusting herself against the pillows and giving him an arch look.
With as straight a face as he could manage, he announced: “I’m not wearing any underwear,” while unzipping his jacket to prove that, in fact, he wasn’t wearing an undershirt. It hadn’t been the most comfortable day without one. “Mostly because Vette hasn’t done laundry like I asked her to.”
She grinned wickedly, her eyes sliding down his body. “If this is the result, I’m not letting her do laundry again. But you know what would look even better on you? …Me.”
He immediately ceased his actions with his jacket still half-on and one glove off, his arms falling limp in exasperation, and stared at her with a raised eyebrow of incredulous indignation. “That’s the line you’re going with tonight?”
She cackled. “Get over here.” Continue reading
Okay so I don’t actually know anything about British law so I left out all the action parts because the important part is the drama anyway.
Earth!Akuliina acts quite different under this sort of physical pressure than Space!Akuliina because even when S!Akuliina (temporarily) loses the Force, she’s still been trained as a warrior. Earth!Akuliina might have great self-defense classes, but she’s never actually had to fight. Also Space!Quinn still wouldn’t yell at Akuliina the way Earth!Quinn does, even after they’re married. This is the sort of thing I find interesting for some reason. : P
I’m probably going to be Akuliina for Hallowe’en. : P
She was tied to a chair in a garbage-littered concrete basement storeroom while half a dozen rough-looking men leered at her and for the first time in her life, she felt real fear crawling in the pit of her stomach. Some of them carried darkening bruises of her handiwork, she hadn’t been completely defenseless, but there had been too many for her to escape from. She should have listened to Quinn this time…
But still she snarled at them with bared teeth, because she would rather die than show fear. They laughed in her face and dirty hands reached out towards her.
The door slammed in with a colossal bang. “No one move!” shouted a familiar voice. Continue reading
Why
why does this exist
can I blame tumblr culture
The first time he saw her was at a function sponsored by RVGR. He walked around the fringes of the gathering, as was appropriate for Mr. Baras’s head of security to do, watching the corporate bigwigs chattering to each other, negotiating alliances and deals. Some of the wives were clustered around the hors d’ouevres, and the younger people had mostly gravitated to the bar and the dance floor, gyrating to the sort of throbbing bass-heavy music that always gave him a headache, but… Continue reading
Okay so here we have: Continue reading

Omg I finally finished all the cyclist portraits! I saved the cutest for last of course – although this might have been better if I’d drawn him before he retired. OH WELL so here is the eternally boyish Andy Schleck. Reference
What’s next on the list? Dunno. The Queen, probably. Although there’s a slim chance of Log Horizon on the… horizon. Also don’t forget Fanservice Day is coming up!
The White Eagles merc band, circa 4009 before half its members got killed. From left to right: Leo, Emidius, Xohitl (in front), Niall (behind), Felicia, Rhesus, Timaeus, Mwennon, and Pericles. Quick sketchy-draw to get down their general appearance and something vaguely approximating their relative heights (Emidius has gotten taller since I filled in his character bio). Maybe someday I will write their story even.
