Blood will Flow

Geeze, I'm away with the fairies at the moment and completely forgot I hadn't updated my rec post for summergen with my own gift - which is freaking AWESOME. But then I thought, this is a Good Thing. Because this deserves a post to itself so here we go.

My gift is a twofer. Not only did I get a beautifully crafted fic, I got beautifully understated art too. It complements the story wonderfully, the colours are so soft and subtle, it's like a turtle dove, but with Winchesters in crisis included. Bonus!

Author's Notes: For the prompt “a slender boy with a handgun,
a fast car, a bottle of pills”, because Siken. A big shout-out to my beta, Q, who’s the best at slapping my metaphor-happy hand. And a very happy Summergen to my giftee, Amberdreams! Brothers being brothers with an extra helping of Dean angst ahoy!

So yes, this hits all my buttons. Plenty of angst, sparse and emotional, tugging at the heartstrings like a master harper. Set in season 7, around my fave parts with Hallucifer rampant and Dean trying to cope.

And here's a turtle dove. Now go check out the art and the fic.

So quickreaver did a thing for artpaperscissor and all the fills so far have been freaking awesome, and I'm getting very nervous about flunking it when it comes to my turn because - so much AWESOME, guys!

Anyhow, check out this one by clicking on the teaser, then go and look at the rest.
