This is gorgeous! I love everything about it, but the thing I love best is how the boys are weary and trying to sleep, despite the cold, despite whatever sad situation they’re in (again). You evoke so much of the tragedy and vulnerability in this piece, which is everything right now. I love the details: Sam’s purple plaid vs. Dean’s block colored shirts (how have I not noticed they get costumed that way so often? I love the contrast!) the lighting (those candles are glorious!) the details on the blanket and the wreaths on the wallpaper. Of course there’s a little squirrel curled up in the true! With his adorable little plush moose!

Thank you so much for this beautiful gift. I feel so blessed and am so grateful that you’re part of this fandom!

Thank you, Amy!♥♥♥ I was a little bit worried that I didn't hit the mark with this, but I'm so glad you were able to enjoy it. I had so many vague ideas going into this. I kept on switching directions, which is partly why it took till now to get this out. At one point I threw around going full angst or crack, but after watching the finale I had to go bittersweet soft. I didn't have it in me to go full on angst or too jokey.
Same to you, author♥ I'm glad you've spent the time and effort creating in our fandom. 🤗💞

OH this is so cute and beautiful, I'm going to cry!! The colors are gorgeous. Their expressions and that POSE are just *chef's kiss* I can FEEL the pining. And the moose on the blankets!! Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing this. <3

D'awww thank you♥ I'm happy for your tears T^T♥ And, I'm glad you can feel the pining. I wasn't really sure if I executed it right, lol. Thank you for enjoying💕

Oh my gosh this is incredibly beautiful! I love that Sam and Dean's expressions are so different. Maybe I am reading into this but Sam looks peaceful like he's here with his brother, while Dean looks a bit more worried (about Sam obvs). The dinged up dresser sets the tone and the blanket makes the whole picture! Because how did they come by a Christmassy blanket? Do they just keep it in the trunk? Did they buy one at a dollar store as a joke and then its saving them this cold lonely night? Also it is beautifully drawn with all the folds. I love the bonus squirrel of course with its little moose stuffed animal.

Thank you so much

Oh this is beautiful and emotionally charged, what a fabulous gift! And sleepy squirrel Dean with his beloved moose melted my heart totally.

All the details - the blanket, the wreath wallpaper and the gorgeous candle light - it's all wonderful!

Edited to add - I love Passenger, and Golden Leaves always makes me think about the Winchesters!

[kirathehyrulian]

Thank you, Amber!♥♥♥ D'aw, I'm glad about your melted heart!♥
I was probably introduced to "Golden Leaves" through the saloon. It might have been you who linked it. I can't remember, but if it was you the song's influence was thanks to you. If it wasn't, then you and whoever did are great minds who think alike!♥

Oh I did post it there I think! Yay for me. LOL
