Amazing artwork by rammyrue on Tumblr!
An illustration done in marker and pen with the fic title at the top, drawn in the style of the Star Wars logo. Rey, in a blond wig and large glasses, stands close to Kylo Ren, who wears his Last Jedi outfit. Rey is wearing a khaki vest with a First Order logo on it. Kylo holds Millicent, a ginger cat, who looks at the mouse droid in front of Rey like she wants to pounce on it.

Today I updated the first Reylo fic I started writing, back on Jan. 1, 2020...my Lovecraftian modern startup AU "To Love Shadows and Marvels" I plan to finish posting it by the end of the year.

Read Chapter 8 here: archiveofourown.org/works/236747...
The moodboard is divided in half, with the fic title and author in the top left corner and a desaturated picture of MIT's Great Dome in the bottom left corner. The whole right side of the moodboard is a Kendall Square streetscape. There is a gold spiral resembling (but not actually) the golden ratio spiral over all the pictures.
