Ok! Gonna try to express my feelings with a lot of exclamation points.
That image of Jared walking into the sun in full football gear like that is just everything I want out of the world. It is so gorgeously done, BB, and such a strong, emotional image, I literally want to cry looking at it. Also it is just unfairly hot. *fans self* *drools a little*
I love that coach!Jensen has some grey hairs in there. As perfect as his entire profile there is, it's the grey in the hair I can't stop staring at--your attention to detail is *flawless*.
I love the expressions on Aldis and Jared the first time we see them again. Aldis is just so awesome in this verse, so I'm really psyched you included him in the art, and Jared's terrified expression is going straight to my heart strings.
Naked!Jared is...*ahem* very aesthetically appealing. For arty reasons. And because I want to like his happy trail Love that cocky look on his face. Holy sex appeal.
I really liked that you included a kiss for both of the Jensen pairings. You really captured the relationship dynamics with them--even in a more intimate moment, Jensen is a little standoffish with Matt, while Matt is so into the moment obliviously, but there's such urgency and PASSION in that Jared kiss.
And OMG YAY YOU INCLUDED THE KIDS. I love Brodie's happy little face. I swear, I usually can't stand kids in fic but I wanted to keep Brodie forever. You made them so cuttttteee. ♥
I am a big supporter of some of the unfinished sketches making it here when you finish. ESPECIALLY MORE FOOTBALL. You can't just throw something like that out and not deliver. *puppy eyes*
OH MY LORD, woman you and your amazing comments! Okay, wow, where do I start...
Thank you so much! I am so glad the header evokes that kind of emotion, I wanted it to be like that, I wanted people to feel that ACHE that I remember from NMU and that I felt while reading HM for the first time. There is so much longing happening in that fic... I was so thrilled drawing Jared in football gear, I'd actually started a pin-up of him in JUST his gear, no jersey, and never did finish it. :( Hopefully I will though!
I can't tell you how thrilled I am that you noticed the gray hair! I wanted to add a subtle reminder that they are older, more mature and while I don't think I handled it as well as I wanted to I think the results are good. :) Ahhh, IDK about flawless but YOU like it and that makes me v. v. happy!
Drawing Aldis was FUN and quick because I doodled him in near the end. I used a LOT of photo reference for him. I loved how happy he was to see Jensen! And god, I worked on that Jared pic for HOURS, I'm glad his expression came across. I hope it matched up with how the fic read. :)
Psh ahahaha happy trail is LOVE, I love drawing those in.
I had to include a Matt kiss, Matt was so important to the story. And their sex was so ungodly HOT. <333 RAWRR. I loved drawing them both and I was worried the passion in the J2 one wasn't as apparent as in the J/Matt one but I am glad to hear otherwise!
BRODIE is adorable, such a great kid! I always worry when I draw kids so YAY I am glad it turned out. :D
Thank you so much for the amazing comment, it really made my day! I promise I will eventually finish the sketches for HM. You guys will definitely see all the successful ones!
It invokes so much emotion. It just rolls so much of the story's emotion into the one image. I'm probably going to have to upload the icon pretty soon, because it's basically everything I want out of the world.

WANNNTTTTT.
I looovveeddd that you added that, because it really did remind me. And then I was thinking of grey hair!Jensen when I was ready the story, and at one point during one of the sex scenes, Jared says how gorgeous Jensen is and I'm like, "OMG, HE'S LIKE 40 NOW AND HE'S STILL PERFECT TO JARED." And if the art hadn't put that grey haired!Jensen in my head, it would have been so much less emotional because I would have just been like, "Yeah, well, he's Jensen Ackles, no shit he's gorgeous." :P
I am holding you to that promise. You have to finish them, my birthday is coming up in a few months, so you have to do as I say. *nods as if this makes sense*
I swear I will finish it! And one of Jensen in a hoodie and NO SHIRT, rawrrrr! I hope I can make it work. X)
Damn I am so glad it made such a good impact when you read the story. I asked Joy about adding the gray hair and her response was so interesting. She said that YES he had gray hair and that it's never mentioned in the fic because it's just not something Jensen would have commented on or thought about in relation to himself. I really love that she puts so much thought into his perspective when she writes, same for NMU and Jared.
God I loved that scene because YOU KNOW he's a handsome man at that age but so much of that is Jared just...being so insanely in love with him. GOD. I just can't even. It's AMAZING.
Mmmmm, yesss. Needs MOAR Jensen. And psh, you can make ANYTHING work, especially shirtless Jensen...which is kind of a hard thing to screw up, if I'm being honest ;)

Heee, my birthday isn't actually coming up until October. I was just being bossy (and short). :P
