Name: Know Me By Name
Story: Starfall
Colors: Vert #29 (But as for me, I will always have love/hope); Azul #27 (Mythic lovers)
Supplies and Styles: Mixed Media + Illustration + Silhouette
Word Count:
Rating: PG
Warnings: None, save my possibly questionable music choices.
Notes: Includes cover graphics (x 750-x750 images), lyric quotes, link to YT playlist of 11 tracks. My notes about choices are very limited as some of my reasons for selecting songs would be pretty spoilery at this point. I wanted to create a mood playlist, possibly a little teaser-ish for those who've been reading who want to speculate, so I trust that won't matter in this case. All videos playable in the UK at the time of linking. Let me know if anything doesn't work for you.
Summary: A YouTube playlist for Viyony Eseray & Leion Valerno.

This took for-freaking-ever and is why I haven't posted anything in the last week or so. ...This and end-of-semester type stuff.
