How To Put “wrote Fan-fiction” On Your Résumé:

Homestuck inktober prompt 4: Dancestor

I saw the prompt and knew I had to draw one of the characters responsible for my gay awakening. However I 100% was not able to do her justice sadly.

They are coming for your legs again.

Every time I sneeze my cat wants to fight me

I gave in and worked on the costume, didnt realize dry brushing a light layer of gold + black would make as big of a difference on the gold parts of my archon venti costume but holyshit it did

Wanted to draw something for bi visibility day so have Dave with a flag

If I took enough benadryl could I eat shrimp?

College au Vaxleth shenanigans, don’t ask what spurred this in my mind because even I don’t know.

Vax drew patterns onto Keyleth’s arm as she lightly dozed with her head on his chest, their legs intertwined and resting above the covers. 

The only sounds he hears is the rain from outside, the occasional creak of the apartment and their breathing. It’s a sweet lullaby that he knows he’ll never tire of and though it almost lulls him to sleep he keeps his eyes open and looking upon his lover’s serene face.

He’s had an ever present smile for he doesn’t even know how long now and gods isn’t that a shock, he never knew he could be this relaxed, this happy. And yet here he is laying down with the human embodiment of the sun wrapped around him. 

Vax didn’t expect the night to go the way it did but he wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. She always finds ways to surprise him and he damn wishes that never ends.

He remembers when he and Vex first met Keyleth. They’d just gotten out of classes when Vex had noticed there was a tear in her backpack and she was missing one of her textbooks, an expensive one at that. But before the twins could panic Keyleth had caught up with them and gave Vex her book back. Apparently she just got out of class as well and from across the street had seen the book fall.

Neither of the twins could have expected what that meeting would cause. They have a family now, an actual family filled with people who care about them and each other. After countlessly being told that they are worthless good for nothing bastards for the majority of their lives to being loved and cherished by this group of wondrous people. It gives Vax whiplash each time he thinks about it and now. Now he is dating the very person who changed his and his sister’s lives for the better, fuck it she GAVE them a life. 

Him and his sister would have never known the acceptance of a father like figure if she and Percy hadn’t invited them to go to her home town, as much as Vax doesn’t get along with him at times Vex found and got Percy a man who’ll actually treat her right and not like some inconsequential side piece, and for him? She chased away the shadows that threatened to consume him, all the bad deeds he’s done to help him and his sister survive haunt him but her light shines through and grabs him by his heartstrings to tell him time and time again that he’s a good person. That he deserves kindness, that he deserves love.

It takes him a moment to process that he’s crying and he can’t help but laugh at the pure absurdity of the cards of fate he’s been played. Here he is laying on his bed in his and his twins shitty apartment with this amazing life changing woman, whose heart has accepted everything that he is and ever will be, who overcame her own fears to finally allow herself to be loved and express a love she’s never been able to do before.

 Unfortunately with his laughter comes Keyleth’s rise to consciousness, she blearily blinks her eyes trying to rid them of sleep. Looking at him tiredly at first then with worry as she notices his tears.

“You’re amazing, you know that?” He tells her, causing her to blush with a soft smile, shaking her head a little while silently chuckling before looking back at him with an adoring gaze.

“You’re pretty amazing yourself.” She says softly, taking her hands and thumbing away his tears, lovingly staring into his eyes. Vax reaches up and cups one of her hands, leaning forward and giving her a brief soft loving kiss before leaning his forehead against hers.

They stay like that for a while, breathing in each other’s air and looking into one another’s eyes. Vax smirks and shifts them suddenly to where he’s on top of her, their gaze still locked on each other as Keyleth’s blush spreads from the tip of her ears to her chest. He interlocks their hands, letting them rest on either side of her head. He leans forward, kissing her, afterwards leaning back just a smidge.

“I love you.” He pours his soul and very being into those simple three words. Keyleth stares up at him with love and awe.

“I love you too, Vax.” She says barely above a whisper. 

Vax knows this night will never leave his memory for as long as he lives and he’s never been so content with that notion before. He’ll forever love this kind and compassionate wildfire of a woman.
