A drawing of Anastasia and Alecto both on profile facing each other, against a background that gradient from black to white from left to right. On the left side, is Anastasia a dark-haired and sallow-skinned women covered in a gauzy veil. She's very thin and delicate looking, and dressed in all black. She's lifting up a hand to caress the cheek of Alecto who is a glowing large beautiful woman with fluffy locks of hair. Around Alecto is emanating a glow of light that seems to be coming from her. She is chained at the neck, the waist and the arms and elbows, and she has a defiant look on her face. Anastasia has a wondering look on her face, as she caressed Alecto's cheek. Behind Anatasia, against the black background, are gauze black curtains of the same fabric as her lace.ALT

“come to look at the beast, have you?”

my pet theory is that Anastasia and Alecto fell in love when they were both exiled (basically) to the Ninth House. the idea of God’s end and his heretic saint falling in love with each other just has a nice poetry to it

#op I need you to know I’m writing a whole fic based off this#I saw the art and a whole idea just appeared (tags via @margaret-rhee)

Please tell me if you ever post it, so I can show up and cry about it 🥺
