Pairing/Characters: Jared/Jensen

Disclaimer: I don’t own their images, that honor falls to the CW and Eric Kripke in terms of Supernatural and of course to Jared and Jensen in terms of themselves, I just play in the sandbox without looking for profit.

Warnings/Spoilers: No warnings for the art, except except for some violence. Please refer to the story masterpost for further warnings.

Summary: Jensen and Jared are having the time of their lives in their a most successful criminal enterprise, but when lines are drawn, loyalties are tested and secrets revealed, cracks rapidly appear in the facade of their relationship that become a danger to their life in a more literal way than they anticipated.

A/N: Wow, I've been meaning to make an SPN-vid for that song for... years, really, every since I first heard it and thought YES WINCHESTERS. It took me some time to figure out more than a couple of clips and frames I wanted to use so that it would actually be a full vid and how to shorten the song - which really, you need to find and listen to it in full length, it's so awesome, but this year, things finally clicked and came together. And I'm doubly chuffed that I could use Hal Oszan's scenes in the vid, since he is the fantastic singer behind the "Poets & the Pornstars" - seriously, find that album SPN fans and listen the heck out of it. Anyway, I want to thank riyku for picking me out of the big crowd, because she's a seriously talented fandom member who managed to pick up exactly what kind of mood and style I had in mind for the story and deliver a great piece for your enjoyment, and was very patient with my real life induced absences from the process. And last but not least, I want to thank the busy mod-bees behind spn_reversebang who once again managed to make the challenge this year an engaging, well organized and altogether most enjoyable experience.

Knowing who the singer is makes your song choice just that more perfect. I'm always in awe of people who are able to craft these kinds of well-made videos! Being such a Pollyana, I would have liked a happier ending, but that's me -- boring, old Care Bear. :P

I hope the story happens and does justice to your work!

You're right: what a great song, I can see how you thought it was fitting for a Winchester storyline;) I love how you managed to visualize a whole new partners in crime story with clips that are familiar in a completely different context, so cool. I was mesmerized from the first shot of Jensen to the last, it was all very in tune with the text and rhytm of the song. Great job!

Great vid! It's a perfect song for these guys and tells quite a story all on its own. Awesome timing with the airdrumming and the music.

What a wonderful vid, and a perfect song choice! I love how you've edited everything together, creating a whole new story. Having just read the fic, this is a spot on collab, and I love seeing the scenes I've just read come to life.

Thank you for sharing :)

HEY, sorry for the delay in answering, but I wanted to have the change to tell you that the story is LIVE now (and due to an unexpected internet outage I haven't been able to read it in its current form yet, but I hear it's more of a happy ending - which was always my hope, because the vid was supposed to act more like a teaser trailer)
I'm really glad for your compliments and that you enjoyed the vid!

I just loooooved this vid when I saw it during the prompt previews. Such a great great song selection and you did an incredible job with the editing, really told a story and gave your author wonderful inspiration to work with. I'm so glad it got picked by a great author and made into the story it deserved because it was an awesome prompt.
