Big Bang Art: 'With Our Destinies Entwined' by Morgan O'Conner
For spn_j2_bigbang: artwork for With Our Destinies Entwined by morganoconner.
Fic title: With Our Destinies Entwined
Author name: morganoconner
Pairing: Castiel/Gabriel
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Two years have passed, and Gabriel still lies dead, his grace scattered, his wings turned to ash. Above him, newly victorious in a war he never wanted to fight, Castiel stands, finally willing and able to do whatever it takes to bring Gabriel back. The key lies in his memories, in acknowledging the bonds of friendship and brotherhood and so much more that were forged between them on a battlefield hundreds of lifetimes ago. Bonds that were later shattered, giving way to a life filled with solitude and bitterness and sorrow. If Castiel wants Gabriel back, he must relive all of it. And he must pray that afterwards, there can finally be forgiveness and healing between them.

Artist Notes: morganoconner chose this beautiful scene where Gabriel saves Castiel as her favourite one to write, and I hope I've done it justice with these three pieces. Painted in Photoshop CS3 using a Wacom Bamboo tablet. Special thanks to Morgan and Wendy, for their understanding and flexibility with changing our original posting date, which would have been when I was out of town.
A Brush of Feathers - HQ version at DeviantArt
There was softness, a gentle touch, a brush of feathers over his wings.
A Press of Grace - HQ version at DeviantArt
There was a press of grace, a release of pain, a demand that he be more careful…
A Memory of Something Pure - HQ version at DeviantArt
And by the time his eyes finally opened again… There was nothing but an empty corridor and the memory of something pure.
