Title: Dark Enough to See the Stars (Original prompt: Aida, by Giuseppe Verdi) Artist: cassiopeia7 Pairing(s): Dean/Cassie, unrequited Sam/Dean Rating: PG-13 Warnings: [Only a spoiler if you do not know the opera. :)]Major character death, unhappy endings all around, and massive artistic license taken with astrophysics and black-hole science. (Really, now. If a singularity opened up that close to the planet, EVERYBODY'S going down the rabbit hole.)
Media: Ink, marker, pastel pencil, digital enhancement. Original prompt: The Egyptians have captured and enslaved Aida, an Ethiopian princess. An Egyptian military commander, Radamès, struggles to choose between his love for her and his loyalty to the Pharaoh. To complicate the story further, the Pharaoh's daughter Amneris is in love with Radamès, although he does not return her feelings. Summary: Love doesn't always conquer all.
