August Created-Works Round Up
Sep. 3rd, 2024 10:11 am
Duck Prints Press’s monthly “created works round-ups” are our opportunity to spotlight some of the amazing work that people working with us have done that ISN’T linked to their work with Duck Prints Press. We include fanworks, outside publications, and anything else that creators feel like sharing with y’all. Inclusion is voluntary and includes anything that they decided “hey, I want to put this on the created work’s round-up!”
Check out what they’ve shared with us this month…
1st Painting for Mosaic Haiku, Chapter 3 by EliotQueliot
art || the magicians (lev grossman, syfy) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || general audiences || no major warnings apply || complete
summary: I’m painting scenes from The Magicians Season 3, Episode 5, “A Life in the Day,” to accompany a series of haiku I wrote on the subject of the lifetime of love Quentin and Eliot spent together in the past of Fillory. This painting illustrates the classic fight about how long they’ll keep going on this quest–but it’s also silently about their undeclared feelings for one another.

Mosaic Family Portrait by EliotQueliot
art || the magicians (lev grossman, syfy) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || general audiences || no major warnings apply || complete
summary: Part of my series of paintings celebrating The Magicians Season 3, Episode 5, “A Life in the Day.” This one provides a new take on the behind-the-scenes family portrait of Eliot and Quentin with their son Teddy. I made a few changes: I wanted Eliot to be looking at Q and Teddy; I changed the hues of Teddy’s outfit to reflect both Q and El’s outfits; and I removed the extraneous people from the background so we can better focus on the reality of their lives together. I always wanted this to be one of the actual scenes in the episode. This art can be located on AO3 with Chapter 3 of my Mosaic Haiku project.

The Secret Royal Wedding of Eliot and Quentin by EliotQueliot
art || the magicians (lev grossman, syfy) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || teen & up || creator choses not to use warnings || complete
summary: I finally painted the art for my entry for Magicians Settings Week back in March 2023. This celebrates the titular wedding in my fic, “How Did That Basket of Peaches Get There? Or, A Secret Royal Wedding, Bitches!” It also completes the project. This AU provides a different ending to the conversation that took place at the end of Sea. 3, Ep. 5, from the continuation we saw in Sea. 4, Ep. 5. Fic summary: “Quentin, Quentin, Eliot’s heart sang—as it always had, since he met the man. Only now there was a new refrain—peaches and plums, peaches and plums, I love you, I love you.”

Queliot’s Last Kiss by EliotQueliot
art || the magicians (lev grossman, syfy) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || teen & up || no major warnings apply || complete
summary: This last kiss is so tender and touching, I wanted us to be able to see Eliot and Quentin clearly, and what they are feeling as El vows to be brave for Q. It’s one of my favorite moments in the series. Painted with watercolors for Chapter 3 of Mosaic Haiku; please view the high-quality scan on AO3 with a computer or laptop if you get a chance.

The Enterprise Exhibit by C A LeSabre (EliotQueliot)
fiction || star trek: the original series || platonic or familial || james t. kirk & spock || teen & up || creator choses not to use warnings || 8,546 || complete
summary: As the band rose to a crescendo, Spock noticed a flare on the horizon. The orange glow spread behind the fireworks—he touched Kirk’s arm and pointed. “Captain! Look!”
Kirk snapped to attention. “What is that, Spock?” He leaned to follow Spock’s pointing arm.
“The art gallery,” said Spock. A boom rolled out across square, drowning out the fireworks, the band, the crowd—the screams.
Spock squinted against the smoke and fluttering ashes. He couldn’t hear against the deafening roar—the deafening silence. The fountain shook. He leapt clear, pulling the captain with him.

A Long Winter’s Night by Shadaras
audio || original work || platonic or familial || teen & up || no major warnings apply || 00:11:45 || complete
summary: A decade into my monster hunting career, I thought I’d gotten inured to death and violence.
Then it came home to roost, and I did exactly what I’d spent thirty years being told not to do: I left a supernatural being alive, took her under my wing, and ran.
To be fair, it was my little cousin Masie and I’d killed the asshole werewolf who’d bitten her, so there might have been some extenuating circumstances.

more than i can say by Smehur
fiction || harry potter || m/m || harry/draco || explicit || no major warnings apply || 11,282 || complete
summary: Potter laughs, more rumbustious than Draco has seen him in years. He looks better, too. His skin is less sallow, his cheeks less gaunt, his hair—no, never mind. His hair is the same mess as always. Not for the first time, Draco regrets being unable to pour his heart out to Pansy, because she could tell him—objectively—if that’s what “the glow” looks like. He thinks so. And he, Draco bloody Malfoy, has put it there.
