at spn_illuminated, art prompts are posted and then authors get to claim them. Usually you get an extra piece of art or two, even banners and icons, sometimes, to fit the story, which is wonderful:) In this case, I actually preferred the sketch vail sent me as a 2nd piece, because it feels more emotional, and there's so much fun to see someone actually work on art with your story in mind!
So glad you enjoyed this. I struggled with it and am still very weird about it, I guess being too close and all, so it's wonderful to hear it worked for you!
I MISS when Sam and Dean thought about each other all the time. I think we need to get back to it, personally, and to hell with healthy smealthy grown up independence:)
