Reprise

So it’s just him, Axel, and the sky stretched before them when the memory hits him.

Don't even get me started on what happens when you fuse Spirited Away and Kingdom Hearts, because I will be completely inconsolable.

So, this summer I ran across an interesting project called Kingdom Hearts Big Bang, and I figured that since I didn't really have much else to do, I'd give it a shot. Basically, a group of fanfic authors and a group of artists were paired up, the artist doing an illustration for their partner writer. I was scrolling through the story summaries, ran across one for a Spirited Away fusion, and, well...here we are.

This is for the amazing Callunavulgari's story When the Wild Grasses Weave (archiveofourown.org/works/9807… (a quick note that this is a much heavier and darker take on the story, but an incredible read nonetheless.)) She was great to work with, and I am absolutely in love with her writing, all of it. Working on this piece has helped me improve so many things, and really test myself, and I can easily say that this is one of my favorite pieces to date.

Let it be known that drawing dragon-Axel made me giddy like the sap I actually am.
