I finished playing Terrain of Magical Expertise on stream a good long while ago, and it really motivated me to make stuff for a TOME AU.

First order of business, ship your OC with your favorite character! Because cringe is dead and I can do what I want.

In this AU, Sparks was the character that was played by the Chris of this world, and the other Universe Traveler characters are players in TOME that hung out together in their own guilds.

Sparks and Tigerlily ran into each other a few times and develop a rapport with each other, eventually leading to being more than friends. (But not without some teasing and light jabs)

As for the art, I wanted to sort of recreate that one scene between Sonic and Knuckles after you break Knux out of his cage in Frontiers with these two, as I felt it embodied their relationship early on.
