Art for Back to Where We Once We Belonged

Title: Back to Where We Once Belonged
Author: amypond45
Artist: winchesterchola

Summary: Ever since they got back from Apocalypse World, Sam and Dean have lived a quiet domestic life in the bunker, just the two of them. It’s been a good life, overall. Until the day Sam’s magic time-closet malfunctions, spitting out Sams from other timelines at the rate of one an hour. Luckily, Sam’s become exceptionally well-versed in the bunker’s archive of magic, and it doesn’t take long before he finds a spell that should restore the natural order. Unfortunately, what they find when they fix things isn’t quite what they bargained for.

Oh I'm so glad you posted here as well as tumblr - Tumblr sucks for giving artists some squee!
These are both so cool - I love how you've dotted so many Sams around the library (of course that is a Sam's natural habitat) and the fish tank one is so pretty!

I'm definitely intrigues to read the story now, and find out how the fish tank comes into it!

thank you!! Drawing the Library one was challenging but I'm really proud on how it came out :D I'm still getting the hang of dreamwidth, but I'm going to post on here more now :)

We did it! I still can’t believe I got so lucky to snag you to do the art for this thing! I wish there was a way to leave long, rambling public comments on tumblr where all your followers can know what an amazing job you did on this, but at least I can leave a comment here, right?

I love the library scene. It’s so fun to see Stanford Sam’s shock when he first walks in the door! Dean might be telling him, “Welcome to your lives, Sam Winchester!” So many timelines all in one room! You know how I love all the possibilities that time travel offers, but seeing the Sams all together like that really makes my heart swell. You are amazing! I also love the colors — it never occurred to me before what a welcoming, warm room the library is. No wonder Sam loves it so much!

I love Dean’s sad expression in the title banner. He was so confused after everything got “fixed,” and finding out that being fixed meant he’d been possessed by an archangel was a lot for him to process. You really capture that here. Since this is his story, I really appreciate that. Poor Dean!

You know I love the fish tank scene. The colors are so beautiful! I love seeing their faces through the water, the reminder of Dean’s feeling of drowning. This makes me think about how Dean’s dream of Stanford Sam was a way for his unconscious to retreat to a simpler, more innocent time in their lives, long before he was possessed. Thank you for that!

Thank you for all of this! I know I’ve said it before, but I’m so grateful to you and so so happy we got to work together on this project! I hope we get to do it again soon!!

Wow, what beautiful artwork! I loved seeing all the different Sam's in the library and how you captured them distinctively. And seeing the boys through the fish tank is a great idea, and I adore the colours too.

Thank you for sharing :)
