AU Big Bang Art: "Stars and Birds"

You all need to go read [livejournal.com profile] carolinecrane's "Stars and Birds". It is amazement incarnate. Seriously, Project Runway + Puck/Kurt. What's not to love? Anyway, I was lucky enough to snag it for [livejournal.com profile] au_bigbang and take a swing at not shaming it with my doodles. And here they are!

--------

Noah delivered everything he’d promised and more on the runway, somehow managing to look both dangerous and fashion-forward without looking like he was trying too hard. Kurt’s clothes moved perfectly on him, and he had no idea what Heidi or Nina or Michael thought, but he was fairly sure at least Will had liked his look.



--------

He tuned back in when they said Santana’s name, glancing at Noah when the word ‘clown’ came out of Michael’s mouth. If Noah was listening he didn’t show it; his expression was completely blank, and the dark smudges around his eyes made him look almost angry. But his shoulder was still pressed against Kurt’s, and when Kurt felt the pressure increase just slightly he knew Noah was listening.

“Seriously,” Heidi added, “the shirt kind of looks like a Disney pirate costume or something.”

“The pants aren’t horrible,” Nina said, but her head was tilted kind of sideways, and that was never a good sign. “Will, would you wear this?”

“Maybe on stage,” Will said, and he was still smiling, but it looked almost painful. “Though the pants fit really well. Do you mind turning around so we can see the back again?”

Kurt watched Will’s gaze shift to the model’s ass as Noah’s roommate turned around. He glanced at Noah, watching one eyebrow arch as Will Schuester checked out his roommate. Kurt coughed to cover a laugh, hand clamped over his mouth and pressing hard against Noah’s shoulder.




--------

“Call me. Promise,” Noah said, his lips brushing Kurt’s cheek right up next to his ear, and it was sweet in a way that made Kurt’s breath catch.

“I promise,” Kurt answered. He pulled back to look at Noah, reaching up to slide his thumb along Noah’s cheekbone.

I wish I had the time to illustrate half a dozen more moments, but ah! Life! Hopefully these offerings will suffice.

YAY!!!!!!! Great art to go with a great story!

You captured the kilt's inset plaid panels really well. And poor Finn! Your rendering of his outfit is fantastic!

And the supply closet is a wonderful moment, absolutely.

I can't stop laughing at the Disney pirate outfit. WHY AM I SO MEAN TO FINN. He always gets his man in the end, though, so it's worth it.

Aw, thank you, thank you! I wasn't initially planning to draw Finn, but then while I was sketching one day, jumping out of my pencil, there he was. I couldn't resist.

Great art! I love Puck's strut! Also, I love how big Kurt's hand is against Puck's face. Sometimes artists give him girly little hands that he does not have.

Finn's expression is priceless, too!

Hahah, Puck's so badass on the runway. And aww, Finn (even if, in my head, the Finn/Will thing is just a one-sided creepy infatuation-ish thing a teacher has for his student :p -- which is why I can never get into Finn/Will fic, but they're ok as a side pairing to awesome Puck/Kurt fics).
