Vikram - Blog Posts

Vikram, part-demon bounty hunter, and Izorei, a fae on a recent rampage in the human realms, who doesn’t want to play ‘arrested’ anymore. 

They were initially side characters in a fantasy series @savagegardenaesthetic and I are planning, but we liked them so much they’ll get their own book as a standalone in the same universe. (I attempted a background, which is unprecedented. I could be a changeling fae too, you don’t know)

Lineart of Vikram, the part-demon bounty hunter, and Izorei - the birch fae who doesn’t want to play arrested anymore.

DUSK  SETTLES  OVER  THE  TREES.  a  sight  that  vikram  once  found  comforting  now  feels  tainted,  weighted  with  an  ominous  note.  as  if  the  town  is  holding  it's  breath,  fearing  for  the  news  of  yet  another  tragedy  break  by  morning.   it  feels  like  only  yesterday  he  had  been  tasked  with  putting  alaina  price  back  together,  and  now?  kirby  sloane’s  body  lies  cold  in  the  fridge  of  his  home.  still.  silent.  a  far  cry  from  the  woman  he’d  spoken  to  on  halloween.  in  vikram’s  line  of  work,  it’s  often  that  he  is  reminded  of  how  short  life  can  be.  how  limited  everyone’s  time  on  earth  is  and  how  those  left  behind  are  almost  always  left  yearning  for  the  same  thing  .  .  .  to  be  allowed  more. 

fingers  tremble  as  he  presses  the  doorbell,  the  sound  echoing  through  the  quiet  of  the  evening.   “hi.”  he  breathes  out,  a  whisper  of  relief  escaping  him  the  moment  the she opens the door and their eyes meet.  she’s  still  here.  they  still  have  time.  “are  you  busy  tonight?  can  i  .  .  .  do  you  mind  if  i  come  in?”

FROM  YOUTH  VIKRAM  HAS  always  had  a  knack  for  sneaking.  a  light  step  paired  with  a  preference  for  skulking  in  the  background  made  it  easy  to  go  unnoticed.  still,  it  was  rarely  his  intention  to  scare  anyone  so  as  he  approaches  mina  he  makes  the  attempt  to  announce  his  arrival  with  a  cordial  “good  evening”  .  .  .  only  to  startle  her  regardless.  of  course  she  would  be.  there's  a  goddamn  murderer  on  the  loose.  “oh!  no,  i  wouldn't  dream  of  bugging  you  about  my  computer  problems  outside  of  business  hours  ──  sorry."  he  offers  a  faint,  awkward  smile.  “i  didn't  mean  to  spook you.  i  just  came  to  uh,  look  at  the  scenery.  it's  nice,  isn't  it?”  when  there  isn't  body  being  fished  out  of  the  lake,  that  is.

a deep inhale and smoke fills her lungs, nothing in particular on her mind; exactly the way she likes it. she does realize it's maybe not the best idea to stand all alone, with the light of the sun going away, when there's a killer on the loose but... what else is there for her to do? stay cooped up at home while her parents attempt to poke at her psyche? oh no, she's choosing the faster way out instead.

at least that's what she thought until a sound suddenly startled her and made her look back. a hand coming to rest on her chest ─── willing her heart to calm down ─── as she zeroes in on the approaching figure. " can i help you? "
