Summary: In 1988, three witches in Montana are growing a monster in their garden, and Sam is holiday snack. When Dean and John show up to get him, one witch is killed, and Dean gets a love curse that he keeps secret. As teenagers, Sam and Dean are living in a dying industrial town in Pennsylvania, where they come across a crooked old creature that takes an unusual interest in Dean. As adults, Sam and Dean return to Montana for a hunt and run into the two surviving witches who have been unsuccessfully trying to grow their monster. Dean, still carrying the love spell from the dead witch, is looking like perfect plant feed.
Guess who got lucky enough to work with the fabulous dear_tiger for this year's SPN J2 Big Bang? ME! I saw that there were witches in her summary and knew it was love. After tormenting zempasuchil and coyotesuspect for a month with my flailing over this fic, it is finally available to read! The Witch Is Dead is the story of three encounters Sam and Dean have with one pack of witches in three different decades of their lives. Splendid, spooky, and sensual by turns, it's a magnificent hunt story with imaginative monsters and great original characters and a classic, classy story about the deep love between Sam and Dean, told in three vivid snapshots as they grow from children to teenagers to young men, and their relationship changes and grows with them.



Something huge shifted behind Sam’s back, sending shivers down his spine. He didn’t turn around. The enormous shadow flowed, and for a moment it didn’t look like a roller coaster at all, but then the moon hid behind a cloud again.

“Dean.” Sam dropped to his knees and held his Dean’s face between his palms. Dean stared at him like he couldn’t quite figure out what Sam wanted. “Dean, it’s me. Let’s go home.”

And UGH I love it so much and I'm really happy I got to illustrate such a cool fic. Please go read it now! ♥

also *cough* I had a lot more art planned out before finals intervened that I still really want to draw, so, um, watch this space?
