Author's notes: This was my first big bang and it turned out nearly twice as long as I was expecting it to be. Big thanks to my long time friend tarlanx for agreeing to come in on this with me and for doing such gorgeous artwork. Please go and leave her some love. HUGE thanks to deinonychus_1 for spending the best part of a week betaing this monster and battering it into shape. And many thanks to the mods of aftercamlann for doing such a great job of organising this big bang!
Artist's notes: I had the very great pleasure to be asked to create artwork for
clea2011's story The Frog Prince as part of the
aftercamlann Big Bang 2014. It was lovely working with clea2011, and I really hope you enjoy my accompanying artwork for this wonderful story.
