Travel hopefully in life.

So, the utterly delightful kunstarschloch asked if I wanted to do an art trade, and naturally I leapt at the chance. And lo, I have endeavored to draw Nix in a comfy sweater, per Kuns's request (and maybe a little bit as some subtle fan art for muccamukk 's "The Way I Wear Your Hat," which shares similar inspiration and may be to blame for the overall look of the grey sweater pictured below.)

Here you are, Kuns! I hope you like it!!!

Title: Entendre
Pairing: Harry Welsh & Buck Compton, background Lewis Nixon/Richard Winters
Rated Teen, 2435 words
Summary: Buck wants to talk about Nixon and Winters, which would be a hell of a lot easier if Harry could understand what he was trying to say.

Author's Note: This ficlet was originally spawned by a desire to see Harry Welsh being a bro to Nix, but it pretty immediately devolved into a vague conversation about the nature of Dick and Nix's relationship while Buck and Harry blatantly creep on them in the company mess. It may not be totally accurate to timeline canon but I just wanted to finish it so I can turn my focus back to the vampire!Dick story that's eaten my brain.

I will note for those who may be bothered by it that there is an extended metaphor involved in this story implying that two of the characters are 'fruits.' Though discussion of the characters and the relationship is positive, I employed the term because I felt the characters may lack other, more nuanced vocabulary considering their time and context.

(Also, thank you to scandalinbohemia for offering to read through all this before I posted. I'm sorry I didn't wait for you - I got too impatient to employ self-restraint, haha - but I will absolutely be throwing myself upon your goodwill in the near future~)

Not beta-read, so there may be typos. If you'd rather, you can also read this story on AO3. Enjoy!

 I woke up this morning with a hankering to do some fanart, and I have to say I think buying an iPad is one of the best things I've ever done for my creative productivity to that end.



It's a Nix! Or, it will be, when it's finished. But I really dig the way it's turning out so far~
