Author's Note: This is artwork for a post-Civil War AU set in Chicago before the fire, where Number One runs a boarding house where Captain Pike takes a room, which currently only lives IN MY HEAD. However, my team are pretty much determined to change that.

*more cheerleading for this not to exist only in your head*

It may take ages and ages, but zomg YES. I just need to read, erm, a giant stack of books first...

Stunning is right! Such lovely attention to detail, and I love the text of the letter, too - it feels very true to period, which is hard to do! I would love to read a full version of this AU, though for now this beautiful piece will tide me over. :)

Thanks so much! I still need to do MASSIVE research before I'd start writing, but doing the artwork really has fired me up, because it went from something just in the back of my mind to something I could actually share with folks!

Absolutely beautiful... moody and evocative.

Thank you so much. I went a bit overboard with the graphics, and drove my team crazy with draft after draft. But I really like the way it turned out in the end.
