a/n: We’re finished!!! A big thank you to all of my amazing gang-artists, @bluejillustrations , @tsaritsa-zoya , @lady-ekatherina-de-mika , @kavinskysdick & magnificent_milk_tea for helping me bring this fic to life. Their art really adds another dimension to this fic, and if you haven’t seen them yet you really need to. Also thank you to my beta reader, @reapersbarge , for correcting my endless spelling mistakes and taking out an unending amount of useless commas. And finally, thank you to everyone who read this fic! It’s a small circle of you, but a precious one. Needless to say, I will definitely be taking part in the gvbb next year.

Summary: In a city that never sleeps, a true darkness is beginning to wake; it prowls the city, feeding on the pure terror of its inhabitants - and Alina Starkov is at the centre of it all. As her powers grow, so does her attraction to the magical, criminal underbelly of the city… and to the man that shows her it all.

THE QUEST FOR WAFFLE HOUSE
my fic for the @grishaversebigbang 2020! this is,,, something very important to me and probably one of the most self indulgent things i have ever written. join california kids ninejesper as they embark on an epic road trip to… waffle house?
yes i made my own drawing for my own fic. shut up. now my post looks pretty.
MATERIALKI!
@artisticaperture work (contains minor spoilers)
CORPORALKI!
SENSITIVITY READERS! (hi sorry if you didn’t wanna be tagged but ily)
SUMMARY:
Having moved to California after being freed from Virginia’s foster system, Nina is missing her life on the east coast, and most importantly, Waffle House. Horrified that her Californian friends Inej and Jesper have never even heard of the best waffle chain ever, Nina takes them on an epic road trip across America in search of some decent breakfast food, along with the chance to get with the girl she’s always had a crush on, a boy running from his father, and maybe a taste of her old life again.
Wylan wants nothing more than to run. He feels trapped living with a father who is ashamed to have a moron for a son. When Jan Van Eck announces that Wylan will be studying at an all-boys boarding school in a small town in Virginia, he feels a flicker of hope for a better future, but the road leading up to it is long and dangerous.
this fic also has a playlist! each chapter is based off a song :)
“Yeah. You can send messages too.” Kuwei pressed a button and said, “Text Dad ‘hurry the fuck up’.”
Wylan gasped. “It sent him that?”

After about a total of 8-ish hours over a two month period, I’m finally allowed to post my art of @fricklefracklefloof‘s fic, The Quest for Waffle House.
Synopsis:
Having moved to California after being freed from a foster home in Virginia, Nina is missing her life on the east coast, and most importantly, Waffle House. Horrified that her Californian friends Inej and Jesper have never even heard of the best waffle chain ever, Nina takes them on an epic road trip across America in search of some decent breakfast food, along with the chance to get with the girl she’s always had a crush on, a boy running from his father, and maybe a taste of her old life again.
Wylan wants nothing more than to run. He feels trapped living with a father who is ashamed to have a moron for a son. When Jan Van Eck announces that Wylan will be studying at an all-boys boarding school in a small town in Virginia, he feels a flicker of hope for a better future, but the road leading up to it is long and dangerous.
