There’s something very nice about remembering fics you read years ago. Maybe you remember the plot perfectly, maybe the rest of the fic is only a blur aside from a handful of vivid scenes, but you remember the way it made you feel. And sometimes you dredge up the memory - the premise or a favourite scene or a few lines that stayed with you -  and your heart aches a little bit, the way it does when you think about books you enjoyed as a child.

To all the fanfiction writers out there: your work is beautiful and meaningful and it leaves an impact. I promise.

It's my birthday today so have a silly redraw 🎉 ...which, when I think about it, is also a little sad. Oh well.

karma is sam & dean being haunted by their few years in hell while adam came out after a literal millenia happily married and better than ever.

I have a question for the fanfic writers among you: How do you treat your work in progress when a very similar story is put out there? Do you go on writing - in the spirit that everything is unique in its own way - or do you abandon the piece - in the spirit of preventing 'superfluous' contributions?

Let's add a further wrench into the process by saying the recently published work by another author, so similar to your own, seems so much better written than your own (granted we are always our own worst critics). Where do you go with that?

Maybe this is a question for readers, too. Do you mind reading similar works/story lines?

Author Notes: I'm a bit late but I finished it! This has been rolling around in my head for years, but I finally sat down and wrote it for @coldflashevents Mini Coldflash Weekend! I honestly don’t know which day this fills since it's got a bit of everything going on.

I hope you all enjoy my first coldflash fic. Happy Reading ♥️

A Long Time Coming

At first, Len’s thoughts were fragmented and his senses frayed. There was a bright light above him, he realized after trying to open his eyes. Slowly he registered a warm hand splayed across his solar plexus. He wanted to look, but after the first flash of white Len didn't dare open them again. 

“Hey… Hey, give it a bit… Don't move too much,” a voice called through cotton balls. “You were lost for a long time.”

The disembodied voice's advice was one Len planned on taking as he slowly tried to gather his mind before sorting out who was talking, where he was, and where he had just been. 

He shifted experimentally, discovering that he was lying on his back on top of a slightly cushioned bed. The slight weight of the hand on top of his sternum helped him steady his breath, something nagging at his mind at the weight of it. He groaned at the tightness in his chest as he took a deep inhale, smiling at the smell that wafted over him. 

Coffee with too much sugar and the bitter smell of electricity. 

It was a scent that had been painstakingly and lovingly burned into his memory, and it dragged an unsurprised snort from him. 

“Barry,” his lips twisted into a lopsided grin, eyes still closed, as the name was dragged out of him. 

Slowly Len regained the sense of his body, wiggling his fingers experimentally before wrapping his hand around the watch-covered wrist connected to the hand on his chest. 

“Lenny, god it's good to hear your voice.” 

Len frowned at the wet sound that crackled past the speedster's lips. His hand squeezed his wrist at the heartbreaking sound of Barry’s favorite nickname before his memory returned with a stunning force. He had been dead.

“What… what did you do, Barry?”

By the Grace of an Archangel

the SPN Angels and Demons Reverse Bang @spnangelsanddemons-rb

By the Grace of an Archangel [ -> read it here on Ao3 <- ] written by @celestialstarlight27  |||  art by @acaademicqueer

DO NOT RE-POST MY ART ANYWHERE ELSE WITHOUT MY EXPLICIT WRITTEN PERMISSION.

Guess who's back on their SPN Bang bullshit? You guessed it! This guy!! Eyyyyyy!

Anyway. Gave a Reverse bang a whirl and had an absolute blast, thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I actually churned out not one, not two, but THREE fully finished illustrations for this bang which is quite frankly batshit insane but absolutely par for the course in my wackadoo universe.

Third [and last] of my three is this one: my Sabriel piece. For those of y'all who know me and my nonsense, Sabriel is one of my dearest ships. I almost always look for them as a pairing in my regular bang participation as like, a calling card on whether or not I'll want to claim something, so of course when it's a reverse I couldn't not do something with these two losers when I had the chance.

It was inevitable.

Thankfully, Celeste jumped onboard and crafted a gorgeous fic (rated M for violence and dark themes) from this. It didn't exactly go the way I had expected with my initial prompt but damn, did it really hit hard. It's dark and painful but ohhh, does it hurt so good. It was *chefs kiss* and I really hope you all enjoy some mega-hurt reading it.

under the cut I've included some preliminary sketches and some commentary, as well as details since apparently tumblr eats quality ಠ_ಠ

So I'm just gonna be real honest with this one, I banged this fucker out when I was forced to work a surprise double overnight at the hospital, so it was the quickest of all three of my pieces since I worked on it during my downtime. Ultimately I liked it so much I decided to use it for one of my pieces for the bang.

Picture it: me, exhausted, already eight hours into a shift and suddenly being saddled with an additional eight hours to slog through. Enter despair; but wait! Remember the tablet! Cry a little.

I cracked the baby open at midnight it all just spiraled from there.

I started with the rough sketches and then built up on top of those. I drew Sam first and I liked the whole "angel on the shoulder" concept, or the idea of Sam being sheltered by Gabe's wings, but that he maybe wasn't corporeal, or that Sam maybe wouldn't know he was there? It was a fun idea, anyway. So Gabe's shape came second.

After I got the base lines, I added the wing shape. This took a while, but I ended up getting a really really nice looking curve wrapping around Sam and forming a good shelter. I took away the under-sketching and drew in the hair lines after the wings went into place. I then cut out the excess gray and filled in an alternate background color for some contrast.

I went in for some skin highlight and some luminescence to the wings before adding some color and depth to the clothes. I then went over the initial line work and set the new layer on a super low intensity Gaussian blur for depth. Then I went over the wing lines with Procreate's lightpen brush and set that layer on a low intensity Gaussian blur.

I knew that this was going to be a multidimensional piece, so I wanted to make sure I got really severe differences between my lights and darks.

Once I was satisfied, I went in and added hair color and filled in some additional cool hues on Sam. I wanted him to really stand out, to be dark as possible. He is meant to be despair, not just with the pose, but with absolutely everything in the way he's depicted.

Once I was satisfied with that, I had the idea of adding veins crawling up his neck, like cracks in a lava floe. It clicked that it could represent the whole concept of corruption of innocence via the consumption of demon blood, and that really set my brain on full blast. (Plus the fact that it was rounding 3am at this point, which, hey, witching hour, babey)

I went with a really robust red and layered it with darker, less saturated reds and some black that looked like char or smoke. On top I added yellow and orange, along with a small glow effect to make it look like it cracked and split open like an actual lava floe. Once I was satisfied, I then added blood smear along his jaw and hand, because no corrupted Sammy is complete without his blood.

Once I finished with Sam, I had to move on to Gabe. Gabe was going to be trickier. Because he is an archangel, I wanted the whole "guardian angel on his shoulder, sheltering him from the corrupting effects of demon blood--he couldn't stop him, humans have free will--but he can lessen some of the pain and he hates to see him hurting" concept that was spinning in my brain to really be evident here.

So first, I added some lighter color on top of the base gray and did some layer effect goofin'. And while I liked it, it wasn't enough.

So I went a little harder.

I went back and adjusted the line art, changing it from dark to a light effect. Gabe is angelic, and although I liked the dynamic shadows I got from my original lines, I needed more from it. Changing the line layer effect from burn to add maximized the oomph enough that it definitely helped sell the whole angel concept.

I went back in and added in some veining along his cheek and neck to represent his grace shining through the cracks in the visual representation of a corporeal form, because although this depiction of him is human looking, he's not. It's an illusion, essentially, the human brain depicting what it can possibly fathom without melting out of the ears. (or something like that idek.)

I then went harder on the whole Grace-Angel-Power visuals and added a power wisp drifting up from his eye, which I think looks really cool in the final effect. (I did something similar with my Raphael piece.)

After I added that, I went back in for some final touches, putting in a source glow from the wings and an extra layer of glow-y ethereal-ness for Gabey's everything.

Hear this voice from deep inside

It's the call of your heart

Close your eyes and you will find

Passage out of the dark

Here I am (Here I am)

Will you send me an angel?

@coldflashevents Prompt - Accidental Dating/Didn't Know They Were Dating

Barry had 99 problems and the fact that everyone in Central City was convinced that The Flash and Captain Cold were an item was all of them.
