He, Dreamless by nizzuto

Part 1 of I don't see the sun (I know it's there)

A gift for the incredibly talented @guarncre, whose gorgeous fic (and every single fic since) I adore so much. Few fics have so effectively simultaneously ripped me apart and put me back together, and swallowed me up with every word. These drawings have been a long time coming, but I really wanted to show my love for the fic by attempting to capture its evocative storytelling and imagery. And this is my call to everyone to go read it, now! Right now!

Good evening all: I miss The Old Guard. I miss the team, and the meta, and the art, and the fic, and the time Gina decided on Hogmanay to blow all our minds so now I'm asking: what is your favourite bit of TOG fan content? Art, fic, meta, GIFs, what the fuck ever type, I don't care, so long as you love it. Please tell me so I can show everyone else. The more little and obscure and beloved the better. Please, tell me.

The boops are gone and the dash is chill once more LET'S GO

Stunning choices all round @non-un-topo

@ultrasopp's art is without fail stunning but this one lives rent free in my head at all times:

@polarcell top tier in every way but her Joes always end me. There is art I wish I could share because haha I've seen secret art but also I wrote a whole ass fic about it so. Maybe you can picture it. Till then have this beloved Joe.

Where would we be as a fandom without @luminarai? Or her hilarious tags? I have this print in my bedroom.

@hachinana87 is truly incomparable, their every post has me like 🥺😍

And the FICS okay so

@kushielsmercy's work is phenomenal and I feel like someone else asked for their vampire fic so I shan't rec that here INSTEAD I'll rec this one (and will share the other one in the appropriate post). Have you read it? You should. Check the warnings but

@guarncre made my brain explode last year with he, dreamless and hasn't missed once since. Should I recommend the lost Cordelia which makes me chew my knuckles or any of the follow up fics to h,d all of which are wonderful no actually you know what have this one, which is currently causing me to lose my goddamn mind with every update

And @the73rdpostscript. Dear Postie, who tells me about so many wonderful fics every day and then I can't tell ANYONE about them because I keep their secrets. But their posted fics are outstanding and you need to get them read. Start here maybe (this was a tough choice)
