Requiem - Master Post

[glasslogic]

Fic title: Requiem
Author name: glasslogic
Artist name: ameraleigh
Genre: wincest, slash
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Disclaimer: I have no rights to any of the copyrighted characters/material in this fic, and I make no profit from it.
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 33k
Warnings/Spoilers: More for the verse in general, but it's arguable here: dub-con, blood-play, bad language (as usual). Demon!Dean, Sam being Sam, etc. This fic can be read stand alone, but it will make more sense with the background.

Summary: There's a price to be paid for everything, and the time has come for Dean to uphold his end of the bargain that freed him from Hell, but the voices in Sam's head have fallen silent and without them the path forward remains obscure. They've fought demons, angels, and each other, but it's the frustration of fruitless months on the road that may be the hardest obstacle they've had to overcome. When exhaustive work finally turns up a clue, it leads straight to the one place on Earth Sam swore he'd never set foot again. But the promises Dean made were different, and Sam's going with him, whether he likes it or not.

This story is a sequel to Fortress, and was submitted for the 2014 SPN J2 Big Bang challenge.

(make sure you stop by and give her love!)

Last, but not least, my effusive thanks to my awesome artist, ameraleigh, and to elusive_life_77, firesign10, and elumir_calemmir who went above and beyond the call of duty in getting this thing written and ready to post. Also thanks to vodou_blue, who has been of immeasurable help and support for this verse in general, and to saraid, who had some great insight to offer in direction when forward progress was at a slow crawl. All mistakes are my own, and if you helped out with this and haven't been credited, drop me a line so I can fix that!!

Oh good *rubs palms together, cackles* I hope you don't have plans for Sunday...

[ameraleigh.livejournal.com]

Yay, we did it :D I had so much fun working on this cos a) your story was so awesome and b) I learnt a few new photo shopping skills to complete the art so that makes me very happy.

It was a pleasure working with you and I'd be honored to do so again in the future.

I'm glad you enjoyed the fic! I know prying it out of me took kind of forever *winces* Learning new things is great! I'm glad you got some tangible benefits from it. Speaking of learning new things, check out what LJ did to this icon when I uploaded it. It's pretty interesting this way too, I just... have no idea why *dryly*

I had a great time doing this challenge with you too! Feel free to poke me if there's ever anything I can do for you! I write questionable fic on the fly and can make usually not completely embarrassing art...

I saw your art for meus_venator's fic! Looks fantastic! I'll have to drop comments on both the postings for the piece/art this evening.

Why had I not seen this before?!

OMG, I have sooo much catching up to do. (comment when I'm finished!)

*rubs hands and scurries off with glee*

It just went up early early Sat morning *grins* I'm, uh, actually in the middle of another round of line edits *wryly* It looked in great shape when I posted at 4:30 am... I hope you enjoy it! <3

Nyaghhhhhh *evil cackle* finally to see the results of my insistent poking and prodding and messing with yer sleeping cycle. Yet despite all my efforts of sabotage you did amazing job as usual, so now *innocent smile* we can finally move to the next story.
I just don't see anything that can be improved in this one. You cannot improve perfection. *hugs* I am so so happy!!!!!

[glasslogic.livejournal.com]

I think most of your poking and prodding is focused around Paved With Good Intentions *wryly* Which, you know, is... on my list! *brightly* I'm glad you enjoyed this one <3

Amazing!!

Oh my gosh another chapter in this incredible story. I can not get enough. You have an amazing talent and thank you so much for sharing it with all of us. On top of that - the story continues!!! I am so excited to see where we are off to next. Again thank you so much and can not wait for the next installment!!

I'm so glad you are enjoying it! <3 There will probably be a shorter timestamp before the next big installment, but I'm working on it!

Love this verse!

Hi,
Gotta say you put so much thought and creative effort into creating this unique AU. It's one of my favorites. I was wondering if there'll be an update/timestamp to it? At the end of Requiem it sounds like there might be. Hope there is!

Re: Love this verse!

[glasslogic.livejournal.com]

Hey there! I'm so glad you've enjoyed the verse! Yes, this fic is master planned to an actual conclusion. I'm writing like a snail at the moment (just finished moving across the country and starting a new job), but there will be the rest of Requiem up this year, and at some point a timestamp, and then the last long story. I have this dream of having all this done by this time next year. Well, I have a dream it all writes itself and I wake up to find it miraculously on my hard drive tomorrow. I'll let you know if that happens...

Thanks for commenting! :)
