Summary: On November 2nd, 1983 the fire claimed both Mary and Dean, leaving John to raise Sam on his own in a very dangerous and cold world, that gets worse with each passing year. After Sam is left alone years later, his father having died from trying to avenge their family, he learns more truths, more secrets are uncovered, and the harder it is for Sam to remain on the side of good.
Sam was no stranger to doing the right thing, sacrificing himself and his wants in order to get the job done. But even in the end, all men have a limit and Sam finds himself starting to skirt the edge more and more with dangerous consequences for him and everyone else in the world.

Artist notes:
Originally, I wanted to do five illustrations. Life and mental blocks got in the way, so I only got to three. The other two were supposed to be Sam becoming the Boy King, and Cas being eaten by hellhounds. I’m kind of bummed out that I missed another opportunity to finally try drawing boy king!sam. T^T Maybe next time.
All the illustrations are pretty straight forward. You only need to read the fic to understand the context. I wanted the theme of the works to be inspired by or draw from baroque oil paintings, but I lost my way towards the end as I ran out of time. There are things wrong with the works, but I’m not unhappy with them. And, my author was happy to have them, and really that’s all that matters in the end.
The title card might be a little confusing since it’s mostly metaphorical instead of literal scenes taken from the story. It’s supposed to be a dark black ocean and Sam’s drowning in it. The scenario signifies his life, duties, and grief suffocating him. The floating dots are embers from the world burning off-screen. That’s also why the water is glowing. The hand is positioned in a way to show power and erratic, ambition/determination. Sam is using his power and focus to burn the world, but as a consequence, since he’s not focusing on swimming, he’s sinking deeper into the abyss. If that made sense? The dark water could also signify demon blood.
The written story made me cry. So, if you like to feel that good kind of hurt you get from angst/whump fics, I recommend reading this one. It’s really good on the bittersweet and numb, despondent, depressed feel. Which is something I love to feel.
Bonus:
for those who made it till the end, have a firey chibish demon!Sam. It’s not boy-king, but it’s close.
Enjoy, if you can!♥
