Amaris - and Pharmercy feelings

For/Inspired by dragonyris‘s various fics… Milah and Ana would be badass awesome grandmas okay, no matter the universe. Adelah has quite the name to live up to, no doubt she’ll find some way to honor and aggravate the women who love her (after all, its a family tradition)

Old Art originally posted December 22 2016, right when I started getting back into writing fic, thanks largely in part to my new friend's fics and characters. I adored Kamilah from very early on, and regularly did art and snippets of this "beta" timeline where Kamilah was alive (at the time, "alpha" timeline was the version of events that was to be canon-compliant, aka- Kamilah would have died before Fareeha was born, like in the original fic, Aa'ilah). She's the one with the motorcycle helmet, here. As I worked on this piece- one of my most labor intensive art pieces even to this day- I slowly but surely developed Adelah as a character in my mind. I ended up writing an entire oneshot (Call to Arms) over that next weekend about the young woman that infant grows into.

I still love Fareeha and Angela as a couple. Two accomplished women, successful in their own rights, but coming together for this common goal, for an organization that had a major role in shaping who they are, but in vastly different ways. In fact that vein was a reoccurring thread with them, their different approaches, outlooks, skill sets... but shared purpose, goodness, and drives. They were 'whole' on their own, but together, were so much stronger and supported, and in that support, allowed to be vulnerable to each other. It was a dynamic reflected in the game meta at the time (back before multiple post-release " adjustment's " ruined the playability of the game for me, and seemed to continuously hack away at their in-game synergy. (And the seemingly(?) corporate-sponsored anti-ship vendetta soured my feelings for the company/writers, if not the ship itself)

These two still mean a lot to me, especially as a I approach them in age and ... career fulfillment? And also because they formed the link that brought me to my still-friend, and strengthened my relationship with various other fans.
