FIC

Title: Key, Soul and Prisoner
Author: septembers_coda
Fandom/Genre: Supernatural
Pairing(s)/Characters: Gen with Sam, Dean and Gadreel
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 5,100
Warnings: Some language
Summary: Slipping through a portal into another world, using a drug some random guy handed him in the back of a dance club, with only a bone knife between him and death, wasn’t the craziest thing Sam had done lately. Hell, it hardly even cracked the top ten…

Fic Link(s): Fic on LJ & Fic on AO3

ART

Title: Temple of Twain
Artist: kat_lair / MistressKat
Fandom/Genre: Supernatural,
Pairing(s)/Characters: Sam and Dean
Rating: G
Warnings: none for the art, unless you cound Sammy angst and my dubious acrylics skills
Description (one used for the claiming): Sam sits on the foreground, looking like he has reached the end of his rope. Behind him are mysterious ruins of an old temple, and in the distant doorway we can see Dean. There are also two circular symbols, white one surrounding Sam and dark one surrounding Dean, indicating balance and symmetry.

Artist notes: This was my first time taking part in spn_reversebang. My reasons were twofold: 1) work is so busy that I have little energy for writing, but art is a different kind of activity and actually quite relaxing, 2) I haven't done anything in SPN fandom for a while. I was delighted to have both of my art pieces claimed pretty quickly AND so very delighted with what my authors came up with. It's been a real pleasure working with septembers_coda who has produced an awesome story with magic and brotherly love and most satisfying solution to the Gadreel storyline as well. And a very inspirational monster that made me dig out my water colours! For the digital art, please see here for texture and photo attributions.

This is the original art. I went for some mysterious ruins and angsting Sam, hoping it would be sufficiently tempting and sufficiently broad for potential authors.



septembers_coda created an awesome monster. Behold the goblin Satan :D "He became a sort of tree-creature, covered in thorns, over ten feet tall. [...] bark-skinned monster [with] fingers like wooden daggers"

Nice!

I'm so fascinated to read the story after checking out your art! Great job!

Lovely!

This is a great post, and it's lovely to hear more of your thoughts and process on the RBB, too! It was so great to work with you.

I don't think I ever mentioned how much I think you captured The Wizard's sarcastic expression, even... it looks like he's filling Dean's ear here, just as he does in the fic. And I fell in love with your prompt-image all over again. :-D Beautiful, angsty Sam. <3 <3

Oooo, angsty Sam and mysteries!! And the goblin Satan is suitably creepy.

As a sidenote, after reading the description "--fingers like wooden daggers", replying to your post via click a link that says "take my hand" made me pause for a moment. I'm hoping there will be no goblin Satans to drag me somewhere for commenting. *checks under the table* ;D

Really great artwork! I love the tree creature and pensive Sam:) The blend of ruins and symbolism works very well.

Gorgeous art - your writer is lucky! I hope they appreciate you!

Gorgeous artwork and I'm so glad you did the watercolour. It's really good. Can't wait to read the story now.

This is gorgeous work and fits really well with the fic (for once I ficced then arted :DD)

Beautiful art! This is a fic and art collab match made in heaven - I love it!!! Thank you for sharing :)

Welcome to the ReverseBang! I love your mixed media artwork, that promptpiece is such a cool composition and I like how you translated it to a neutral banner. The somewhat broken letters fit very nicely with how you brushed the colours.

Heehee, the tree-creature, that's an awesome creation \o/

These are all lovely. <3

Ooh, these are great! Love the mysterious atmosphere of the ruins and the colours of the sky/background. Goblin Satan looks like a very cool monster, and I'm looking forward to reading the fic! ♥
