The wind always seems to manage to find the few patches of skin he leaves exposed, or the cracks in his impenetrable fortress of coat, even chilling him in summer evenings sometimes. Stakeouts are almost always unpleasant experiences, but especially near the end of the year. Even with a sweater and undershirt under his customary longcoat and dress shirt, the cold soaks into his bones. The memories that accompany it aren’t always pleasant.

Open-faced, youthful yet mature enough to inspire confidence, slightly androgynous in the fashion of old porcelain dolls. Judged on physical construction alone, unit D4-N1-3L would be considered a beauty by any gender standard.

I am a writer of the unreal, a drawer of the whimsical and forever at battle with my own estimation of my worth and talent; grasping frantically at straws and strings and loose threads, never able to hold onto one long enough to satisfy myself, to wrap around and anchor. I am devouringly destructive, boilingly creative, diamond-faceted and Tiffany-glass-fragile. I need you.
Commissions are always open unless otherwise announced (see the squares below for specifics); however, thanks to certain conditions, I often have a long turnaround time/backlog... please keep this in mind, and be patient with me if you are kind enough to commission me. Thank you in advance!
I do literature and art commissions/trades; basically, anything that can be experienced in its full on the two-dimensional screen.
