After looking around DA I realised that I have not a single bit of Terry Pratchett fanart up. Criminal, I simply had to make a little image of my favourite character, the irreplaceable Rincewind. ^^

Came up with this image after remembering his only attempts at any sort of misplaced bravery is when there is a lady involved (which doesn’t happen often, and even then he is more then reluctant, assuming he hasn’t run out of the door already… )

The lines ‘Reluctant hero’ and ‘Frustrated coward’ are from a great Pratchett quote, damn he’s good.

In this image he tries to protect a woman by using an empty threat of using magic, as usual. And is even more scared then his attackers when something appears to happen.

Came up with a little story for these two, the girl is Aurora, Rincewinds opposite piece in the goddess’s ‘The Lady’s’ collection of mortal pieces, both used in games against the other gods of the Discworld. Aurora is a highly competent moral sorceress. However as sorcerers or sorceresses are feared and despised on the disc, and targeted by wizards, she hides her powers. However she can’t help but try to help people, so keeps getting into trouble. Not relying on luck she uses competence and practicality to get out of problems, but due to the scale of her situations she requires the aid of ‘The Lady’ on occasion, but fervently does not believe in such thing, much like Rincewind. She is the opposite of Rincewind in that she places herself in knowing harm without further consideration, knowing full well and accepting the consequences, her high morals dictating her actions.

They meet when Rincewind goes looking for the ‘luckiest person on the Disc’ as written in a small article in the Ankh-Morpork, paper. The article illustrates an event surrounding Aurora where she seems to be the innocent bystander in some remarkable events (actually orchestrated by her then covered up). Mistakenly thinking Aurora is some Dashing Hero and armed with a blunt instrument Rincewind hopes to take revenge on is opposite who he blames for being the karmic counterbalance to his miserable existence.

Looking for her in a small town he runs into her as she is being chased by local thugs and an assassin. Not knowing who it is Rincewind is about to run but is drawn to help her… Aurora uses her magic through Rincewind and the two escape. The story revolves around the two as they try to save the local people from a warlord or equivalent. (Spaghetti western/samurai style spoof. (Rincewind ever reluctantly.)

Eventually they succeed and find that they were drawn together by a very interesting coincident. Both were subconsciously looking for someone to accept them for who they are. And as it would turn out the odds of either of them doing so would be…. 1,000,000 to 1.

Yay for hopeless romance

(Feel free to run with the idea anyone… only a small chance I would ever write the fan-fiction)
