And here is my second entry with the art I did for the
spn_reversebang 2015/2016 challenge. As I said, I was very lucky with the talented writers I got this year again, but also that they were both inspired to write lengthy, so very enjoyable stories. If you don't read WIPs, please make sure to bookmark
lady_simoriah's excellent and heartfelt fic.
Thanks to
lady_simoriah - it was such a pleasure working with you - and as usual to
honscot for her sound advice, and the mods for another great challenge, and especially for Amnesty day ! :)

Summary: Jensen has a gift. To others, they're just normal playing cards but to him they have messages to deliver and one in particular just won't leave him alone.
Jared has a problem. To save his family, he's given himself to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, a ruthless businessman, who doesn't hesitate to abuse him both in public and behind closed doors.
Jensen takes a Carribean cruise in the hopes of the universe having a new message for him and winds up getting more than he bargained for when the cards and the universe put Jared in his path. The only question is whether the cards can show Jensen a way to get Jared out of Jeff's twisted hold before it's too late.

AO3 Once upon a time, I was playing on my iPhone some game in which the cards displayed their English names and I found next to each other a Jack and an Ace. JA. Of course, being a J2 fan, I immediately thought "Jensen Ackles". And then reversebang time came... so this was my original prompt.
And this is what I created for the story.
I loved the way
lady_simoriah plays with the card readings in her story and wanted to try showing one of them, the cross spread Jensen does after he met Jared.
To make the artwork for
lady_simoriah's fic, I had to create a whole lot of playing cards mentioned throughout the story. I didn't use them all but here they are in their original size.
I don't think I'll finish the deck but I'm almost certain I'll add more artwork to this page as
lady_simoriah adds to her fic.
