The Middle Distance

This is one of the coolest fandom gifts I've ever received: Sunhawk loved that story so much she commissioned an artist, elfrightsactivist, to draw a scene from it, and the result is AMAZING!

Under the cut because it's big and spoilery (though, honestly, it's a Tolkien crossover fic, so I don't see how the possibility of [THING THAT HAPPENS] is really a surprise to anyone. It is fairly SFW (some strategically covered nudity), unlike the story itself (drawing the actual sex scene from this story would be . . . a specialized task I wouldn't want to impose on anyone. :D)

( LOOK! )

Of course it works best as an illustration for the story, so I've added it here.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

The brilliant kinkajou has drawn a GORGEOUS piece illustrating a scene from Rode Hard and Put Away Wet!

I love everything about this. THANK YOU!

Sauron by masterhalfling (facial model is Benedict Cumberbatch, and blame Peter Jackson if you don't like that, not the artist)


Whoa. That's a really compelling Second Age Sauron - with Ring, still with fair form ability, looking very much like a Maia going bad. (Not to make it all about me, but this is retroactively creeping into my headcanon for Sauron's human-ish form in The Ring and the Crown. He's lost his Master, and now he's becoming more unhinged as he becomes more ruthless in taking power over others in a vain attempt to replace what he's lost.)

Who is he manipulating through that palantír in the picture? I want to know! It's compelling!
