Summary: Jensen is trying to start a new life and not complicate it with a past he isn't ready to share with potential girlfriend, Genevieve. But when she introduces him to her troubled brother, Jared, things get complicated fast and the men end up with a secret of their own. But there's another secret, one which neither of them holds, one that will not just break their lives apart emotionally but could have bloody, fatal consequences. If Jensen can pick his way through the minefield of lies and half truths, he and Jared might finally have a chance at happiness – Sometimes you have to save someone else, before you can save yourself.


A/N: Big Bang's are not only challenges because authors and artists agree to set themselves big tasks, they're also always a bit of a gamble for both sides in the rush to describe the stories and claim the summaries and not really knowing what you'll get once the frenzy is done. And this year, I've certainly been paired with the most wonderful, supportive author in alexisjane whose story I read with pleasure for the great cast of characters, sudden twists and gorgeous visual scenes. Still, at the beginning I found myself really struggling with figuring out how I could and would like to illustrate the story with my medium of choice, which led to a period of denialist procrastination. But in the end, I was not going to let my author down and back away from a challenge and with her encouragement and enthusiasm, suddenly it all came together and I was able to create a vid that I'm really happy with because it gives you glimpses of the story and the central character dynamics with a teasing edge that will hopefully make you want to read it. So, thank you, alexisjane for your unending patience and squee, it was great working with you, thank you, mods for the incredible amount of effort you put into running this challenge so smoothly and thank you readers/viewers for coming back every year to share this time with us!

Title: Requiem

SPOILER WARNING: The video as an art piece for this story is less of a teaser and more of a companion piece, therefore be advised that it contains extensive spoilers for the story as a whole. Don't say I didn't warn you, but now go enjoy!

A/N: Sooooo, can't believe this is already the second time that I'm participating in BigBang season as an artist. This year, again I didn't make the writer's deadline, but was lucky enough to find one story that spoke to me and that I thought I could make a vid for and I'm once again very pleased with the result. My dear author syngates_guitar was a fantastic sport, patient, supportive, squeeing, very excited and a pleasure to work with. I'm really glad that I could provide a great companion piece for her story, that was so rich in imagery and references to the show that I didn't have trouble at all putting this together. I really love participating in this challenge and I hope we can be around for many years to come.

Warnings: Spoilers through SEASON SIX

Summary: This is a story following the boys through season six with the overall theme of letting go. Dean has to let go of his future with a family, Sam has to let go of his past deeds, Castiel has to let go of his humanity and in a way all of them have to let go of each other to see where the journey will take them next.

A/N: Wow, quick, before LJ's gone again! No, I hope it holds out for a while longer now and want to present you with my latest creation. It's the fill for the hc_bingo prompt: 'Parting Ways' and I finally have been able to wrangle my new program into submission and create a more sophisticated vid than the earlier ones due to technical advantages. I'm really proud of how some of the transitions and synchronisation turned out, but there's still lots of room for improvement, which I will be working on for this year's entries to spn_reversebang for which I'm signing up as soon as they're running again. Wish me luck and I hope you enjoy!
