Why you are reccing this: First off, because this was the first fanwork I ever saw where Aurora was depicted as a person of color; although in the movies she is portrayed by a black actress (unfortunately unnamed, as far as I can find), it never really sank in with me. Anyway, that's what made this picture stick in my head, but beyond that, this is one of those fanworks that completely draw you into another time and place. Just this one simple scene evokes so much more, from the historical situation to the personalities and relationship between the characters.
~~ Please remember to leave a comment for the artist on the original post if you enjoyed this fanwork. ~~
