Happy Vday! School was tough this week, so will the next week be, hope I will find some time to draw for my Soulmate AU! Got plans to make the teasing comics on Plance and Lotura so far adding Hunay and Romelle to the mix and I am thrilled to work on this, but time is what I have the least right now  

Princess Mononoke AU!! (was requested :D )

I’m sorry that I haven’t posted in forever! I got really busy with school. When I was warned that this year would be the hardest, I should’ve believed them..

Follow me on Instagram too! @ cosmic_guava for more of my work and for UPDATES and SNEAK PEEKS!

Merman Keith & Knight Shiro AU

Requested by Sleepinthru (twitter)

Story:

Keith, a beautiful and exotic merman, is the King's most prized possession while Shiro is a knight bound to the King...

Despite all odds and the dangers it would entail for the both of them, the pair fell in love.

Soon, Shiro concocted a plan to free the captured merman and to runaway with his love. Sadly, the King caught wind of his plan and ordered Shiro to be sent to the front of the battle.

Before leaving, Shiro made a promise to return for Keith. To take him away from his prison and to live happily somewhere they can be together for as long as they can.

Keith smiled, teary but determined. He told Shiro that all he needed was for Shiro to come back alive and well.

Keith would wait for him no matter how long it would take. All he needed was for Shiro to come back to him.

Shiro swears by his sword and his love for Keith. He would return to his mate no matter what.

The King was confident that Shiro wouldn't came back alive. He was proven wrong when the word was sent that the stubborn and persistent knight led the previously losing army front to victory.

Suddenly enraged, the King took out his anger on his once favorite toy...

Keith struggled and fought viciously against the King but in the end, there was only so much he could do being away from him element for such a long period of time.

He knew Shiro would return soon. He had to wait, no matter what he had to...

But...

The King soon grew tired of tormenting Keith. He left the merman to die with barely enough water to survive and locked him up deep in the castle dungeons.

He could always replace the creature with something else. One far more beautiful and rare, the King thought.

A weary Shiro comes back, an arm missing and with more scars littering his body, only to find his lover half-dead inside the castle dungeons.

Livid beyond belief, the knight goes mad with rage and storms out of the castle with his beloved, cutting down anyone who dare stop him.

Guard after guard fell with just one slash from the Champion.

Blood spilled from his newly manifested arm, made of shadows and dripping with malice, a cursed arm. His other one, natural and human-like, craddled his mate protectively. His lover who laid still, cold and limp.

That day, as the Dark Champion disappeared through the night, the once prosperous kingdom fell into ruin. A curse befell the King and his people. Numerous plagues, droughts, and famine destroyed the city.

News travelled far and travelled fast. Soon, the disgraced kingdom became a taboo people did not speak of. The people stayed away from the place in fear of being cursed as well. Eventually, it was forgotten and erased from the maps.

As for the knight and his merman...

No one ever knew what happened to them after. Nobody ever saw them again.

Some say the knight killed himself in grief. While others thought that the curse swallowed them up as well. Some hoped that they somehow survived and found peace somewhere...

NOTES: Wooot, this turned dark real quick... bad writting fingers, bad! Sorry about that... Kinda don't know how to finish it.

If people would like to have a good ending for this, I might finish it up with a good ending epilogue... otherwise its gonna end this way...?? I think 😂

Since people have been asking me about it even before AN… I finally opened an online store! I’ll be holding pre-orders for the Voltron prints (because they’re sold out from Anime North) so I can reprint a new batch and I also have leftovers of the other prints for a discounted price! I have 4 of my Sheith postcards left so the first 4 people to buy my Voltron posters will get it included for free. It’s only going to be there for a limited time and I’ll be closing it in July so it’s the last chance to snag them. I also sign all my posters! Thanks for all the support again!
