There is a book!

Many thanks to @simple-log who pointed this out to me.

Unfortunately there“s no English translation (yet?). @simple-log thinks it“s available in Russian, Ukrainian and maybe Polish.

Here“s what I found on Goodreads:

RITUAL by Marina Dyachenko & Sergey Dyachenko

But wait, there“s more! Another book by these authors and it“s available in English:

THE SCAR by
Marina Dyachenko & Sergey Dyachenko

Reaching far beyond sword and sorcery, The Scar is
a story of two people torn by disaster, their descent into despair, and
their reemergence through love and courage. Sergey and Marina Dyachenko
mix dramatic scenes with romance, action and wit, in a style both
direct and lyrical. Written with a sure artistic hand, The Scar is the story of a man driven by his own feverish demons to find redemption and the woman who just might save him.

Egert
is a brash, confident member of the elite guards and an egotistical
philanderer. But after he kills an innocent student in a duel, a
mysterious man known as ā€œThe Wandererā€ challenges Egert and slashes his
face with his sword, leaving Egert with a scar that comes to symbolize
his cowardice. Unable to end his suffering by his own hand, Egert
embarks on an odyssey to undo the curse and the horrible damage he has
caused, which can only be repaired by a painful journey down a long and
harrowing path.

Plotted with the sureness of Robin Hobb and colored with the haunting and ominous imagination of Michael Moorcock, The Scar tells a story that cannot be forgotten.

...uh!?

SHARDS OF HONOR by Lois McMaster Bujold

When Cordelia Naismith and her survey crew are attacked by a renegade group from Barrayar, she is taken prisoner by Aral Vorkosigan, commander of the Barrayan ship that has been taken over by an ambitious and ruthless crew member. Aral and Cordelia survive countless mishaps while their mutual admiration and even stronger feelings emerge.

Check out this book on Goodreads: Shards of Honour (Vorkosigan Saga, #1) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61903.Shards_of_Honour

Sci-fi space opera classic.
Capable and honorable woman and infamous warlord come to understand and love each other.
If I were to use a very short and over-simplifying descriptor it would probably be ā€œJane Austen in spaceā€.šŸ˜‰

I am Dragon

ever-hungry-aria:

I just watched the Russian fairytale ā€œI am Dragonā€ after @fuck-yeah-monsters-and-villains recommended it and that movie has a massive Reylo vibe all over it!! Besides it’s so colorful, has great shots, loads of slo-mo and is kind of a tease, because most of the time there is a strong tension between the dude and the girl but they can’t touch and you find yourself yelling at the screen for them to just jump each other.

Also awesome and also Reylo like –

Dude has a dark side that he can’t control

Kidnaps the girl

Dislike and mistrust at the beginning

She helps him be more humanĀ 

Cliff scene (lol, even several)

What I would like to see in ep. 8 or 9 – Fanservice. All. The damn. Time. He doesn’t own clothes and even if she get’s some for him, he still flashes his abs. We get a peek of his butt at some point.

He has a superpower (can see/control the wind) and teaches it to the girl.

He lets go of his beloved and it breaks his heart (Beauty and the Beast style)

Spoiler!! – She decides that she must follow her heart and calls to him and he takes her again, and she tames the beast inside of him. Happy fucking end.

This sums it up perfectly. 😘

RUSALKA – MERMAID (Russia 1997)

Reylo recommendation by @ewa-jednak-chce-spac. Thank you very much for introducing me to this gem.

The art style of this short film is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in animation. It’s like a moving painting.

Longing

I think everyone has ā€œthatā€ Disney movie that they love. For me, it was Beauty and the Beast. It was my movie growing up – I bought the collector’s edition DVDs, lithographs and posters, saw it on Broadway thrice before it closed, and the soundtrack has a permanent place in whatever device I hold in my hand today.

Needless to say I am really excited for the live action movie, so here’s Belle and the Beast, aching for each other, and the Beast too afraid to touch her.Ā 

Lots of light/dark elements here, with the Beast emerging from the shadows and Belle sparkling in the light. I combined the designs from the live action film, the animated movie and my own imagination to create this piece. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks to @papiertrail for her valuable feedback :3
