Stilt Roots
31. [No Ship or Jack/Bunny] Movie!Jack and Guardians: Basically Jack constantly volleying between isolating himself and being super clingy because he’s afraid that if he messes up they’ll abandon him and he’ll be alone again. (Fic)
~*~
“Are we gonna talk about this?”
Jack screwed his eyes tight and curled over, muffling a groan into his shoulder as he tucked himself into the hollow of his tree.
Well, not HIS his tree, unfortunately the tree of sorrows would have been the first place anyone looked for him when he didn’t show and he had kind of wanted to not be found for a while.
But, at the same time, he had wanted to be found a little. Or else he would have gone a bit more remote than the warren. There were still a few iceburgs not easily accessible to by mermaids and selkies to tattle on him to Sandy, and the Antarctic was always an option if he wanted.
But… he hadn’t really wanted.
Not really really.
He’d just…
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” He mumbled, frustrated with himself.
Bunny was quick to join him, the lower branches of the twisted trunk ancient pine were gnarled and wonky in a way that Jack had always adored and thick enough that Bunny’s end of Autumn weight gave them no trouble. Three branches of hopping and the rabbit was crouched right beside him, though Jack didn’t turn to see, keeping his forehead against the punishing roughness of the treebark and his arms around his knees.
“We waited for you in the mountains, Tooth doesn’t often get time for herself.” Bunny’s vice was soft with his reprimand, but this was the third flake out now and it was clearly part of some larger problem.
Jack was supposed to be out working, the first year’s snow in his region was scheduled to fall tonight, and the Guardian’s had gathered to watch him work, as they had a few weeks back for the first changing of the leaves at the very tips of his territory. Jack had traveled further north, assisted the seasonal shepherds all the way to Alaska, but his strip of the Appalachians was special, it was HIS, and he had wanted to share it with his friends.
He loved being beside them as they worked, sharing in what made them happy, listening to them go on in such passionate energy about the things that made their lives endlessly rich. They glowed with joy as they worked, brilliant and powerful and so much bigger than any emotion he thinks he’d ever experienced outside the a building supercell coming together around him.
And what did he have to share, when he came to them with his meager offerings, when they wanted to see him more, know him better? What was he?

A late Secret Santa for @fanarchoslashivist‘s prompt - #64 - “Bunny and Jack studying stars.” Took me a month, but I finally managed to hit the word count for this one. This fic kept shrinking on me; as with most hard topics, there was a lot that wanted to go unsaid.
But I think I finally got it.

Ghost Lights
It was eerie, watching the stars go dark.
Jack Frost leaned back on his hands, head tilted skyward. Above him, the Milky Way stretched like a glittering river spilled across the endless void. There were just so many of them, vast and countless; stars upon stars upon stars.
Clusters of them, tonight, were going dark. It was easy to lose track, if you weren’t careful. The stars disappeared without fanfare, no flash of light or dying flicker to mark their passing. One minute, they were there, shining brilliantly in the sky;
The next moment, without warning - gone.
But Bunnymund helpfully pointed them out to him, adjusting the telescope with a precision that spoke of a lifetime of study. He centered the lens on each doomed constellation for Jack, naming each star as he went.
Nebulai, the Golden Age’s largest star nursery.
Ko-an, birthplace of the Constellation Court.
Junatol, the planet where starships were invented.
Kasterborous - Bunnymund’s home.
Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!! This is perfect! This is the exact concept I was thinking when I wrote the prompt. The angst, the fading stars, it’s like you were in my BRAIN.
I’m so glad you like it!! :D I saw that prompt and, though I’ve written something similar before, I was like “I have to write this. I have to write this.” The concept was just too good. I’m glad it was just what you were looking for too~

5. Bunnymund and Jack wage a messy paintball war against the rest of the Guardians. For @rotgsecretsanta
@ave-aria !!!!!
The Lineart for @rotgsecretsanta‘s request #87, “Mother Nature”.
The edges got a little tweaked by my phone during the scan, but I was able to redarken them in photoshop while coloring. Colored picture can be found here!

Secret Santa piece for @rivvydarling in the @gravityfallssecretsanta exchange of 2016! (click to embiggen)
The request was for a Mabel focus, and additionally, the grunks bonding with the niblings! I love all of that too, and I love winter! :D So here’s a family stroll in the winter woods around Gravity Falls, encountering some cryptids; mainly a scampfire and its little scampfirelings (and a surprise guest). Mabel has come prepared with marshmallows!
Thank you so much, @stariousfalls & your helpers, for making this happen! It’s been so much fun today to see all the things being posted! :D
(Also thank you to @scribefindegil for the suggestion of the lighthouse for Stan’s Mabel-sweater.)

Finally done with this, oh man. I tried a different way of coloring because I thought it’d be faster if I did it on one layer. I was wrong. Glad that I got to do this pairing though, I’ve been wanting to draw it for a while. Hope you like it!
for the day crowd
eeeeEEEE I LOVE IT THANK YOU
