Title: In Ruins - Rising Tide
Author: soncnica
Artist: dollarformyname
Beta: marlowe78
Written for: Sam Dean OTP MiniBang 2014
Rating: R
Genre/Pairing: gen, no pairings
Wordcount: cca. 50.040 words
Summary: Sam, the Inquisitor and Dean, the Hunter are trying to save the Land from a killer that cannot be seen or smelled or touched, a killer that attacks more viciously than anything anyone has ever faced. And it left the Land in ruins.
Warnings/tags: fantasy AU (a mix of medieval times & present time), blood, gore, disgusting imagery, language, hurt/comfort, POV changes (but I think they aren’t very distracting), hurt!Dean, dark!fic, mystery, magic, mention of torture, nudity, boys raised apart (but they know of each other&are together for 3/4 of the story), not a death fic
Disclaimer: I own the story, but I do NOT own SPN, Sam or Dean or anything related to that. No!
A/N1: Inspired by the (taken out of context) lyrics of Fall Out Boy's 'Alone Together' from their new album. If you'll listen to the song, you'll 'hear' some familiar uh words. LOL
A/N2: My artist was phenomenal; she created pictures out of my words and she did it amazingly, spectacularly and I can't praise her work enough. There are no words, I love every single art piece she did for this, and I used it all in the story itself, but please, please, please go to her art post HERE and tell her just how much her art is brilliant. She captured the creepiness, the atmosphere of the story, and all I can do is bow before the stunning work she created. I am without words just how must the art compliments the story and I feel like the story doesn't do the art justice at all. Thank you dollarformyname for choosing my story, thank you for all the hard, hard work you put into it, thank you so so much!! *hugs you*
A/N3: Well my beta had to suffer through another round of my comma obsession and screwed up tenses. That poor girl, she deserves a huge, huge thank you!!!!
A/N4: My amazing f-list ... thank you for all your kind words, for your hand holding and for telling me that there's nothing wrong with a little bit of gen :) Love&peace!

This is a road to restoration,

But we're starting at the end.

'kay, just because I just came here to look - since when is your journal so nice-yellow???? Have I been away from here for SO LONG O.O

Weird...

Hmmmm, I think for a few months now ... I change my LJ style every two or three months, because I get tired of it and need a change of scenery and YES it's been a loooong time since you made a pit stop here! :) LOL

Damn, I feel really bad now... But I like it, it's happy!

As long as it's not light script on dark background, I'm always happy with new ljs. I can't read the light-on-dark-stories, makes my eyes blurry. But yellow is nice and soothing. Yay! :-)

LOL, no need to feel bad, we talk via emails like every hour, so .. no need to even go to my LJ :)))

I like it too; it's wide enough to accommodate big art, and it's bright and happy especially in this gloom weather, and it's black on a white background, which is easier to read for me, and it has the tags on the side .. idk, it's just functional :)

I don't like white on dark either, makes my eyes really strain, because the white shines out of that dark background like crazy ... so yeah ...
I have some other LJ styles on my list, so when I'll get tired of this one, I'll change it to one of those :)

Seems like I'm lazy in that department. Then again, I really kinda like my lj, with the dark look and all.

And for blurry script I'm just always so HAPPY that there is the cute little ?style=mine - thingy for such things :-)

Downloading - I'm really intrigued to see how you meld the ancient and the modern together in this! ♥


PS reaper tells me hardcore posting dates will be allocated soon!

Hey! Awesome, thank you for giving the story a try I hope you will enjoy it and as for mixing modern and medieval times, you kinda have to read between the lines *wink, wink*

Oooh awesome, finally ... now I need to get my shit together and fix some things in that story, which btw is like 15k long now ... I did a lot a lot of rewriting since you saw it ... *blushes* but yay, finally we post!! Woohoo! :-) :-)

Forewarned is forearmed - or something.

Exactly and sometimes that can be a good thing, going into something prepared, and then other times it isn't a good thing - ruins the surprise. Dunno what it is in this case :-) :-) :-) hmmmmmmmm..... :-) :-)
