Title: As Through a Glass and Darkly
Author: lexicale
Artist: crimson_adder
Pairing: Sam/Dean, Hinduism
Ramble Gamble: This story is awesome you guys. I picked it for the simple pleasure of getting to play with Hindu symbolism and Indian patterns and designs, and then, to my delight, it was also SUPER EXCELLENT. It's a total overhaul of the mythology and it's done

If those are a male and a female phoenix in the top picture, then that could be Chinese symbolism for the perfect married couple. I don't know what they refer to in Hindu mythology/symbolism. The lower picture looks Buddhist to me, especially with how their hands are open and the beads hanging from Sam's hand. Also they are standing on lotus flowers. This might be a reference to Guanyin, goddess of mercy, who was originally the god Avolokiteshvara before travelling from India), and from there to the good they do for people and the world. This might make Sam and Dean bodhisattvas, which is entertaining! I love the artwork; beautiful colors and painstaking drawing.
