Lachlan and Crawford's Rookie Pictures

Summary:

Fanart for "let me know when you get home" by Anonymous

Notes:

I have been so charmed by the OCs in let me know when you get home, Hank Crawford and Lachlan Pucey, just great, well-written characters who I cannot stop thinking about. I wanted to be able to really picture them while reading, so I gathered up all of the physical descriptions that the author had left here and there, and got to work on these colored pencil portraits! I had so much fun drawing these, I've been really loving my Prismacolors lately. Just wish I had a scanner or something, my iphone pics here really don't do the illustrations justice 🥲

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“Which is it,” Crawford asks, even though he isn’t sure asking Merritt follow-up questions is the smartest thing he’s ever done. “Is he cute or funny-looking?”

The camera unfuzzes, and Merritt rolls her eyes again. The crosses she bears, really. Crawford’s heart goes out to her. “Not funny-looking. He looks funny. Like he’d be a funny guy. Like, he’s smiling in his rookie picture. It’s all cute and lopsided, he’s only got the one dimple, did you notice?”

Crawford didn’t. 

“In yours, you’re like—all doom and gloom, like you’ve never even heard a joke before in your life. Mom’s got it on the fridge, it’s hilarious, it looks like a mugshot— like, I didn’t know you could smile for your headshot. But he’s got a little smile going on, it’s cute.”
