Art for ~To Catch a Falling Star~

Summary:

This is the art created for the Rigel Black Big Bang 2023 to go with the incredible story written by Erisnyx (you can check it out here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/50026390/chapters/126315307), and the summary of which :

Mistaken as a member of the Rogue's Court, Regulus Black is attacked and left for dead in the Lower Alleys.
When he wakes to find himself at Maywell Clinic, Regulus knows that he owes someone a life debt. But while he is willing to pay the debt, he wasn't expecting his savior to be an orphaned five-year-old girl.

If Margo had known how persistent the nobleman she'd saved would be about chasing her, she would've asked Healer Hurst to claim all the credit for the rescue. But she didn't, so now Margo's got to figure out this life debt thingy, mingle with nobles, and convince Mr. Black to let her go back to the alleys to visit her friends!

Come join Regulus and Margo on a journey filled with flowers, family, heartaches, secrets, and second chances.

Work Text:

Image ID: A watercolor illustration. In the center is Margo, wearing a purple dress with her red hair tied back using a blue ribbon. She is crouched beside a prone and unconscious Regulus Black, who has been bound with ropes. His black hair is disheveled, and his black robe, trousers, and brown boots can be seen through the ropes binding him. There is a cloak clasp in the shape of a two stars connected by a chain near his collarbone. Regulus' right arm is free from the ropes, and rests in a spread out, half-bent position. On the right side of Regulus' torso, about where his ribs are, is a bright red stain of blood. The red blood spreads out and away from Regulus' body in a watery puddle, on which floats five battered daffodils with yellow petals. On the upper left side of the illustration are blue streaks reminiscent of rain falling from a cloud. On the upper right side of the illustration, positioned behind Margo, is a detailed drawing of a yellow daffodil. The petals of this daffodil give the illusion of Margo having wings. End Image ID.

Chapter 1 - Daffodil

Image ID: A watercolor illustration. In the center is a brown claw-foot couch. The arms of the couch curve inward in the middle before arching out at the top. The couch has space for three people. On the left side of the couch is Margo, sitting cross-legged with her back against the arm of the couch. She is wearing a yellow dress, and has a faded blue ribbon tied in a bow in her curly red hair. She has on blue socks, one of which has a hole from which you can see her big toe. Her right arm is bandaged from the wrist down to a little past her elbow, and it bent as she lifts a mug to her mouth. On the right side of the couch is Regulus, sitting with his body turned towards Margo. He is dressed in a black button-down shirt and blue trousers, and he holds a mug close to his chest as he looks at Margo. In front of the couch, a brown tabletop is visible, and resting near the edge of it is a rounded vase in which are blue and green hydrangeas. In the upper left behind the couch is a detailed drawing of a hydrangea done in blue and green. End Image ID.

Chapter 2 - Hydrangea

Image ID: A watercolor illustration. In the center is Margo and Regulus. They are behind a counter, and all that can be seen of Margo is her head from the nose up and four fingers from her right hand, which grip the edge of the counter. A green sprig of Queen Anne's Lace is tucked behind Margo's right ear, and she is watching Regulus write. Regulus' body from the waist up can be seen, revealing a navy blue button-up shirt. His black hair has some waves to it, and he is looking towards Margo. Regulus' hands are visible on the counter, his left hand spread open to hold a flat piece of parchment in place while his right hand holds a black feather quill poised to sign near the bottom of the parchment. In the background, set between Margo and Regulus, is a detailed drawing of a stem of Queen Anne's Lace, done in a light green. End image ID.

Chapter 4 - Queen Anne’s Lace

Image ID: a watercolor illustration. In the center are Margo and Regulus, standing behind a counter. Margo is on the left, her red hair pulled back with a blue ribbon tied into a bow. Her body from the waist up is visible, and she is wearing a green dress with three-quarter sleeves beneath a harvest orange apron. Her right hand is bent slightly at the elbow as she holds a light blue bowl filled with pumpkin innards, and she is looking up at Regulus. On the right is Regulus, visible from the hips up. His black hair is neatly styled, and he is wearing a long-sleeved button up shirt in harvest orange, the top button undone to reveal a gray undershirt. His sleeves are rolled up to just below his elbows, and overtop of the shirt is he wearing a green apron. His right hand is braced on the upper-left side of a pumpkin, while his left hand holds the handle of a spoon which he is in the process of inserting through the opening at the top of the pumpkin. The pumpkin has an aster drawn on the side of it, waiting to be carved. Regulus is looking down at Margo. In the background, in between Margo and Regulus, is a detailed drawing of a pink aster. It is partially opened, the center a lighter pink than the petals, while the stem is a bright green. A pink splash curves from the left side of the aster, arcing over it to its right side, and fills the space between Margo and Regulus with a warm light. End Image ID.

Chapter 6 - Aster

Image ID: A watercolor illustration. In the center are Margo and Regulus. Regulus is standing behind Margo on the right, his body turned partially towards her. He is dressed in a black turtleneck and matching trousers, with a long-sleeved moss green overrobe open over them. hands are in his overrobe's pockets, and his stance is relaxed as he watches Margo. Margo is turned so she is facing to the left, her focus on something off the page. She is wearing a long-sleeved light blue dress with blue irises embroidered on the bottom of the flowing skirt. There is some hints of purple and green to the embroidery as well. There is a lace overlay to her dress. Margo's red hair is pulled back by a faded blue ribbon tied into a bow. Her hands are outstretched as she offers a bouquet to someone off the page. The bouquet has six different flowers in it, the colors of them being yellows and purples, with a bright green for the leaves and stems. Above Margo's head in the background is a detailed drawing of an iris with a green stem, blue petals, and a purple and yellow center. End Image ID.
