Mind that tag! I had labeled it noncon at first, but then think about it. If Crowley wanted out of there, he'd be out of there. He can shrink to the size of an electron, he can bite the shit out of stuff, he can stop time. No plant, even sentient, is gonna be stronger than him. Not to overjustify this -- let's be honest, I sometimes like fictional noncon -- but I like it better when nobody's in danger.
I spent a staggering amount of time on all those leaves, and I regret nothing. I'm always wanting to drawing more foliage, but it feels daunting. The end result is fucking worth it tho. Actually, I had started sketching this in 2019, but felt it was both too "mean" and I didn't have the skills to finish it well. I'm glad I waited!
Keep an eye out for a fic by Caspian to accompany this, which is hot and funny, my favorite one-two punch.
