Chapter Text
Hello! Since I posted this fic's epilogue a few years ago, I have gotten to know so many wonderful people through this fic and the fandom in general. There has been a lot of humbling generosity and kindness bestowed upon me. What I find astonishing to this day (and probably always will) is the incredible art that has been created of Kyril, Irena, and the world they inhabit. While Tumblr is pretty good at preserving these works, I lament that with time, things become harder to find-- to the point of almost disappearing entirely-- on Twitter. So here is my attempt to create a gallery of sorts, an archive here in the fic. I'm going to link to the pieces so that you can explore at your leisure. Be sure to check out the artists' other works, too; this is such a wildly talented fandom!
(I've done my best to collect everything I could find here, but please do not hesitate to DM me if I've left out anything! Chances are, I loved your piece but was unable to find it anywhere and I wanted to link directly to the creators whenever possible. I will do my best to add to this if there is anything I've missed or any future art.)
