🌘VOIDCALL🌒, part 1 (43 pages) is up on Patreon in full for patrons $5 & above. Ever since her days as a student, Y'shtola finds her gaze drawn to a tragic pattern. (Thancred/Y'shtola) While not explicit, this work is intended for mature audiences only. www.patreon.com/theyoungdoyl...
The cover for Voidcall. Y'shtola stares through a window made by her fingers. A comic set sometime between 1.0 and ARR.  
Y'shtola: Do... do you trust Thancred? 
Y'shtola: Do you...
Y'shtola: ... feel safe with him? 

Minfilia, whose hand had been upon Y'shtola's, gently encouraging, draws away. A comic set something during 1.0 and ARR. 
Minfilia, hand drawn to her chest: Why...

-the scene segues to Ryne circa Shadowbringers, still going by the name Minfilia. 
Minfilia: ...why wouldn't I?
Y'shtola gazes down, expression as tired as it is unreadable.
