It's that time of year again :) Here's the story I got to play with this time in the
spn-j2-bigbang Title:
The Iron Tongue of MidnightAuthor:
zara-zeePairings: Sam/Dean, Dean/OMC, Sam/OMCs
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Pre-series AU in which Sam and Dean are not brothers. Eighteen-year-old Sam Remington used to be a street hustler. Now, thanks to his high IQ and his determination to earn himself a safe, normal life, he’s a scholarship student at Stanford University. Dean Winchester is a hunter of the supernatural; the son of one of the best hunters in the business. When a case takes Dean and his father to Palo Alto, they quickly realize that they’re dealing with Faeries-the dangerous, Wild Hunt sort, not the Disney sort-and when Dean is forced to make a deal with the Faerie King, and fate pushes Sam into his path, the destinies of the two young men are changed forever.
This is hooker!fic. Sort of. It’s also case!fic. Kind of. And there are Faeries... There is also flagrant abuse of Welsh mythology and pagan mythology/ritual: no disrespect is intended. The portrayal of the Stanford admissions office is in no way meant to reflect reality. Stanford in general is possibly quite inaccurate... Despite all the warnings, the story is really not as dark as it sounds...and it has a happy ending!
This year was TOUGH! Art block, technical difficulty, and frustration abound. And honestly I'm not satisfied with the final result. So, I know I have said this a time or two before, but I would really like to keep working on this project and do it the justice it deserves :)
Thanks so much to the awesome mods for hosting this challenge every year! And to my lovely author for being so sweet, prompt, and on top of things, and patient with me when I was really not at all ♥
I tried my hand at comic making again. I think it's such a fun challenge. I wanted to put in a lot more time on this, but I'm already overdue, eep!
Plus have my rough draft sketches:
figuring out the boys in this story and thinking about potential scenes to draw.
