The Challenge - History Always Repeats Itself

[crimsongriffin]

esteven  suggested way back on day 10 of the meme, that a new challenge ought to be posted, and I should be the one to do it, being all new and shiny to this fandom. And, here we are!
It's 8 pm here on the 30th, the 30 day meme is just about over, and so without further ado:

A picture is worth a thousand words, though a lovingly crafted fanfic is certainly

What Goes Around

[crimsongriffin]

I kinda said, foolishly, to esteven that I would not post this challenge unless:
A. I found out how old Stephen actually was in relation to Jack.
B. I would take up the challenge myself, put my money where my mouth was, pick up my sword, get my game on, et cetera.

Well, okay, I now accept that the answer to (A) is unknowable, except he's about the same as Jack, but has no birthday. As for (B), you all and several other friends are responsible in many ways...in a good way, I don't blame anyone! MUCH. Fandom is such a rabbit hole...and I fetched up here.

Needless to say, I decided in a swell foop to learn Photoshop and my Wacom tablet at the same time.

This is deep, dyed in the wool, navy blue-coloured in-joke for those who know and love the books, and also some related fan art.

Here. Go. It's your fault.

HA! Of course grown-up!Jack has no recollection of this when he confronts the wombat!

HILARIOUS!!!

giggle-snorting unashamedly over here.

And Baby!Jack would be chubby and so hungry all the time he'd nibble on someone's hat. Love it love it love it.

God and he's utterably adorable as a wee little babe, too. (The little anchor on his gown - so cute!)

And 'fell sloop' came in the next scene too - you're good!

Now what did wee Stephen gnaw on? Hmmm...

I can't see Stephen chewing on much, he was probably a tiny baby and huge eyed waif-looking boy. I wonder if he had to do any swine-herdinh himself in Ireland?

Thanks! Haven't sketched in years. I guess one only needs the right passion.

I wish it had..I dunno, more action? But Jack had something interesting to work on. Gold lace.
Thank you!

That is really, really cute! You are so talented! :D

(I think it is Jack we do not have a birthday for; Stephen was born on Lady Day!)
