DCBB 2013: Art for Every Living Thing
Title: Every Living Thing
Author: steeplechasers
Artist: chargetransfer
Warnings: mild drug use
Summary: When a pair of hunters on the eastern coast witness the arrival of a very disturbing omen, it isn’t long before the news hurtles across the country, piquing the interest-and fear-of people everywhere. In a matter of days, the new, safe world that Sam, Dean, and Castiel have been inhabiting is flipped upside-down. Something enormous is coming-and this time, it’s something they can’t fight.
Faced with rapidly diminishing prospects, holed up in a tiny, empty Nebraska town, they are forced to confront fears, secrets, and emotions that might have otherwise never seen the light of day. Every story, it seems, must end somehow, and the only thing that remains to be done is to make the most of what little time they have left.
Baptism
He wishes they could lie here forever, never speaking, only breathing, safe and sound. But they can't.
They sleep, or they try to. Some deep part of them both is ashamed, though they have no reason to be. Before he drifts away Cas feels Dean's lips on his forehead, and then the hollows of his eyes against the crown of his skull, and the wet heat of tears coming down as if to baptise him, as if to save his soul.
Notes: Photoshop7, musepro tablet. Lineart inked with Koh-I-Noor technical pens.

Surface
The water hurls and pushes them, constant motion, and Dean grabs hold of Cas, fists a hand in Sam's shirt. For a split second, his forehead rests against Castiel's, streams of trapped air billowing upward from between them, and Cas looks at him as if he's the brightest beacon in the world.
Do what you have to, he seems to say. Try.
Notes: Inked with Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph technical pens on vellum, original size, 11 x 14. Photograph was further manipulated in Photoshop7 to correct tones, add border and text.
