(NSFW) Merry Happy Horny Festivus (Patreon)

My submission for the Dark Festivus Gift Exchange.

 I have a lot of feelings about making money in fandom (some of which I talk about on the Fic List podcast episode) Fandom is about community. Making free art for each other in a capitalist world is a truly radical act and one I treasure. Yet as a career artist, I have to balance this with paying rent. There are no perfect solutions to an imperfect world. We can only try our best and keep trying our best, and hope that the culmination of a life lived by our values is enough (spoiler: it is). 

One of the ways I keep balance is through gift exchanges. I love gift exchanges! I love making art for a specific person, the more niche, the better. Creatively, I don't have to worry about anything but fulfilling the brief and making one person happy, which opens up a new set of creative possibilities (this is similarly why I love making art for y'all on Patreon. I love a hyper specific brief and knowing I'm making art for a real person or group of people). 

Gift exchanges also keep me in a community I love. All my smut is behind a paywall with three exceptions: commissions (the commissioner gets to do whatever they want with it), past pieces that are already posted, and pieces made for gift exchanges. It's just one way I get to keep a foot grounded in the community while I navigate what it means to be a professional artist in fandom spaces. 

Those are the thoughts, now onto the smut! 

I didn't have it in me to write the whole epic story I have in my head for this, but I had a clear picture of Viking Theo in my head. It was originally supposed to be snarky sex but these two are so stupidly in love, it came out much sweeter (and angstier because, well, I'm still me). 

------

Harry and Theo loved each other fiercely till the day Theo was murdered only a year after the war. Harry never intended to use the Hallows, but with Theo taken from him, he turned to their power. He cannot age. He cannot die. He is the Master of Death. He is alone.

He moves through time and universe to find him. In every world, in every time. He will love him in every life.
