My artwork for the story ‘Searching for the Hand That I Can Hold’ written by the very kind @eninkahootz for the @spnproshipbang (you can find more information about the story here)

[saltbind]

Pairing: Sam Winchester/Dean Winchester

Rating: Explicit

Additional Tags: Inferno References (La Divina Commedia | The Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri), Boy King of Hell Sam Winchester

Word Count: 16,288

Summary: Sam isn’t about to let Dean suffer for his sake. It’s not like there isn’t historical precedent for travelling through Hell as a human - if he even still counts as that. With Ruby as a seemingly reluctant ally, and a cadre of rogue angels watching him carefully, he’s going to take a leaf out of Dante’s book. And possibly upend Hell’s carefully wrought hierarchy in the process.

Author’s Note: This was written for @spnproshipbang, and is my first Big Bang fic ever! Huge thanks to the mods for organising the event.

The STUNNING art in this work was created by kaiein on ao3 aka @pentacentric on tumblr. Please go check out their own post to see some of their character designs for this fic, they’re truly amazing. They also read through the work and helped out with the editing process <3 Thank you, it was wonderful working with you.

A big thank you as well to @hellhoundlair for giving this piece a once over and contributing their thoughts - I appreciate the hell out of it.

Enjoy!

My collab with the wonderful @archangelsammy! More SPN Proship Bang illustrations under cut, for spoiling and man bewbs...

Cat wrote such a cool little fic, second-person (which is not easy, but she so rocked it!), and I highly recommend it for anyone who might want a peek into Sam's brain, as it's revisited by the specter of his time in the Cage, and how he might feel about it all. The good, the bad, and the sexy.

Summary: While Dean is trapped in Purgatory, Sam searches for him so intently that he hardly sleeps. When he does sleep, Lucifer haunts his dreams. Thanks to a witch named Rowena and a rogue reaper named Ajay, Sam is reunited with Dean in Purgatory but ends up with no way to get them home. He learns that Dean, Cas, and a vampire named Benny have a plan to get out via a distant portal. As the four of them journey through the woods to get to the portal, Sam hides the fact that he never stopped having psychic powers. Although they must regularly battle monsters and sustain injuries, the group enjoys the simple pleasures of living amidst nature. Sam and Dean grow closer as the months pass. Cas and Benny show signs of mutual attraction, and Sam wishes Dean would open up to the possibility of their relationship becoming romantic as well. Will Sam and Dean ever become a couple? Will Sam ever come to terms with his psychic powers? Will the four of them ever make it home?

Artwork for "Pen Pals" by Z the Tea Aunty (Zarra_Rous) for the 2023 SPN Pro-ship bang! (Link in next paragraph in case hyperlink breaks).

"Pen Pals" is a cute 7 chapter/6,333 word work that features a collection of letters back and forth between Sam and Gabriel throughout the early parts of supernatural! It touches on and talks about canon events and the feelings of the characters as they happen. It takes what is initially Gabriel reaching out because of intrigue at a letter he finds and transforms it into something softer and more romantic throughout their time exchanging letters.

It was an honor to be able to provide art for this fic and to participate in this bang! I'm happy with how my art turned out, and I loved being able to read this fic as it was being written.

Summary: Dean never understood why his best friend (and crush) just up and left after graduation, and he'd probably ask him what the hell all that was about now that he sees him again after ten years of no contact... if Dean wasn't too busy being shot and bleeding out on the floor of the Crashdown Cafe. Good thing Cas has some kinda superpowers, or this reunion might have ended before it even got started.

LOOKIT! Such awesome art! And then there's whatever I wrote!

Title: Beauty and the Beast of the Below (ao3)

Author: @ladyknightskye

Illustrator: @spn-fanfic-reblog-writes

Summary:

Fending off an unwanted advance leaves Dean Winchester in a bind - literally. He wakes up about to be auctioned off in one of the slave markets of the Below, the seedy underbelly of the City of Enoch. However, all of this is further complicated by the fact that Dean is the Michael Sword - the only person in the entire city whose internal hardware is immune to being hijacked.

Or so he thought. Enter Lucifer - the first Michael Sword. Lucifer buys Dean under the pretense of using him as a sex slave. In reality, Lucifer knows how dangerous Dean can be, and wants to use him to help take over the Below.

As Dean and Lucifer get closer, they begin to realize that Dean’s abduction was not an accident at all.

My work for "In True Love's Shadow" by AvalonSilver for the 2023 SPN Pro-Ship Bang!

"In True Love's Shadow" is a work inspired by Arthurian legends and is a lengthy fic that is still in progress! It follows Adam and some of his ancestors, telling the story of how he came to be with a nice little plot twist!

For the sake of spoilers, this was a pretty brief summary! I'm not always great with summaries, but the author's Ao3 work has a much more well put one! The story page is hyperlinked above, and here for convenience: "In True Love's Shadow" by AvalonSilver ( dk323 on Ao3 )

[missroserose]

Novel rewrites continue. I'm now two days behind even my revised mental deadline, but writing takes the time that it takes, and holiday stuff/family time does as well, and sadly it's generally considered rude to do both at the same time.

Still, I'm..."nearly done" feels like a stretch; I have one short-ish scene left to write and two to edit, one of which is the 6K-word culmination-of-the-emotional-arc threesome. But relatively speaking...that's nearly done. (Although I still have the final pass and the polishing to do, after.)

The manuscript is over 82,000 words, now.

Holy shit, yo. 2024 may be the year I finally finish a dang novel.

(And goddamn, but I'mma need some time off before I write the next one...)

Author: @sweet-sammy-kisses Artist: @pasta-n00dles

Independence is a place where the outcasts can come and find a place where they belong. No questions asked, if you had no place to belong well then Independence was the place for you.

The Winchester’s had searched for a place like that where they could be happy and let the ghosts of their past be just that in the past.

9. Always The Wolf You Know

Author: @babyboykingsammy Artist: @blindswandive

The Winchester Boys have never had any easy life, their upbringing being supervised by a man hell-bent on vengeance for his murdered wife, and have largely been left to their own devices. If Dean's behavior, as the only Alpha his Omega brother, Sam, has had to turn to for love and affection, has become something with sharp teeth and long claws, well... It mattered not to him. Sam had always been his to love, cherish, and protect, and Dean would do anything within his power to ensure that he was the only one that Sam looked at as if he hung the moon.

There was no other bonds, familial or otherwise, that mattered as much to the two young Winchester boys as the relationships they had with each other.

If Dean had to fight to keep all of Sam's affection to himself he would do it. Even if it meant going after the one Alpha that they should have looked up to, their father, John Winchester.

There would never be a price Dean would not be willing to pay to keep his darling Sammy forever by his side.

Never.

11. Living His Grey Flannel Life

Author: @samanddean76 Artist: @girlsvmonsters

Jimmy Novak is a 21-year-old twink working his corner in Papillion when he is attacked by a long-term client. As he struggles to escape, he is rescued by a big, strong, and mysterious stranger named Sam Winchester. When Jimmy wakes the next morning, he flees the safety of the strange motel room as his life has taught him that he can never expect good things to come his way. And he can’t help but to be suspicious when a few days later, Sam pulls up to Jimmy’s corner and buys some of his time. But as Sam keeps coming back, night after night, Jimmy wants to simply surrender to the irresistible pull he feels towards his savior. The problem with that scenario? Jimmy is losing chunks of time, waking up in strange clothes, remembering chilling images as he apparently helped Sam bring justice to those who had viciously hurt him in the past. Jimmy is beginning to do things that he had never done before. And then Jimmy comes back to himself and finds that Sam has been badly injured. Will the arrival of Bobby and Rufus save the day or only deepen his confusion? And when will the little voice in the back of his head ever stop trying to convince him to just put all of his faith into Sam?

17. The Devil's Triangle

Author: @quicksilver-castiel Artist: @keziahrainalso

After everything, when all is said and done, God beaten and all that good stuff, Dean figured that life would go on as he knew it, just with a few fewer ends of the world.

As it turns out, he instead gets a bunch of changes, including Sam moving out of and Lucifer and Nick moving into the bunker. That last one is temporary, of course, lasting only until they can trust that the archangel and her vessel aren't going to cause one of the aforementioned ends of the world again.

At least Dean hopes that it's temporary - that is, until he doesn't anymore.

Dean shows up at Sam's Stanford apartment expecting to find his little sister, and instead finds a 6'4 dude with his sister's face and a voice an octave too deep. It takes a while for Dean to wrap his head around Sam being trans. It takes him even longer to understand why he struggles to look his little brother in the eye, and why he can't stop staring at his bare chest.

September, 2005. Jessica Moore is focused on acing her final year at Stanford, passing her medical school entrance exams, and figuring out her boyfriend Sam—all of which leaves very little time for sorting through her strained family relationships, or wondering about her missing cousin, or remembering the charming green-eyed drifter she slept with some months back. But when she gets a strange call from her best friend Brady, kidnapped by a cult while home for the summer, she and Sam set out to find him—and along the way, she discovers her part in a sprawling chess match that not only involves Sam’s family secrets, but her own as well.
