The Comic



Description of the fic

Title: Into Oblivion
Rating: NC-17 for death (temporary), amnesia (temporary), permanent injury, drug use (marijuana), a necrophiliac kiss, and porn (barebacking)

Summary: AU after 8x23: Sam dies before completing the last trial, leaving Dean alone and desperate. After a month of trying to bring Sam back with no luck, Dean gets a tip from the most unlikely of places: Metatron. Now reigning in Heaven, the angel is still looking for stories—one story in particular. Sam and Dean broke destiny when they derailed the apocalypse, rewrote the book Metatron had penned himself so many thousands of years ago, and now theirs is the only history the Scribe of God can't access. Although he has Sam's soul captive in Heaven, no amount of torture has convinced Sam to give up his and Dean's life story.

Metatron gives Dean a scroll and makes a bet: if Dean can follow the instructions and return Sam's soul to his body within three days, then Heaven will relinquish its claim on Sam. If he can't? Dean will forget he ever had a brother, and all of his memories of Sam will belong to Metatron. It sounds like a fair enough deal, but of course there's a catch. From the moment Dean reads the instructions, he begins to forget Sam and his quest, each memory disappearing faster the more clues he leaves to keep himself on track. It's a race against the clock to decide Sam's life, and it's all or nothing. Dean will get his brother back—or lose him completely.

VERSION FRANCAISE



"Into Oblivion" (Au Coeur de l'Oubli) est également disponible en version française, oui, oui, oui!

Pairing: Sam/Dean
Avertissement: Décès d'un personnage principal, auto-mutilation, sang. (Bref, la routine...)
Classification: La page 4 est NSFW (= faut pas montrer à Grand-Mère sauf si elle aime les films de gladiateurs)
Résumé de la BD: Saison 8. Affaibli par la dernière des trois Epreuves qui l’a poussé jusque dans ses derniers retranchements, Sam, épuisé et malade, décède quelques jours seulement après la Chute fatidique des Anges. Après plusieurs mois d’intenses recherches faites de fausses pistes et d’espoirs déçus, Dean trouve finalement le moyen de ramener son frère à la vie grâce à un sort inscrit au dos d'un vieux parchemin. Cependant, le prix à payer est élevé : à partir du moment précis où il lira les instructions qui lui apprendront comment ramener Sam d’entre les morts, Dean commencera à oublier petit à petit sa mission et celui qu’il doit sauver. L’ainé des Winchester a maintenant 72 heures pour accomplir scrupuleusement le rituel. S’il réussit, tout sera de retour à la normale. S’il échoue Sam restera « de l’autre côté » et sera à jamais effacé de sa mémoire. Dean sera-t-il capable de sauver un frère qu’il oublie un peu plus à chaque seconde qui s’écoule ?

I can't thank you enough for the beta
No worries at all, it's always fun ^^

That was really news horrible about your phone :( Please feel free to send me anything, anytime. Ah you were meant to take a break from the Journal, though if it was helpful to draw that's good.

The hotness of the Js is something we can't escape my friend! ^^
hehe, and we get to drool over over them for another season <3

i love the black and white palette and the scratchy cross-hatching, and that dean wrote "bring sam back no question" on his arm so he wouldn't forget. (and what a horrifying plot! you can bring your brother back from the dead but you'll forget more and more about him until you do.) beautiful work but kind of heartbreaking.

I love the black and white palette and the scratchy cross-hatching
Thank you ♥ My shoulder still hurt from all the crosshatching. It's an interesting technique but my god! it's time-consuming and exhausting xD

Ha! Ha! I know the plot is horrifying! I tried to think of the most tortured scenario possible! ^^ But what can you expect from a prompt that starts by "Sam died on a Monday"? :D

Thanks a lot for the great feedback about my RBB post!
Glad you like it ♥

Thanks YOU for the great feedback about my RBB post!
Glad you like it ♥

I read the fic yesterday and YES, it's awesome!! Cherie did an amazing job, I'm blessed ^^

Thanks YOU for the great feedback about my RBB post!
Glad you like it ♥

Incredible story-telling from so few panels of art.
Thanks! It was hard to gather such a complex plot in only 7 pages. If I had the time, I would have drawn more panels but I was so busy with my other prompt (14 pages) that I couldn't add a single page to my schedule xD

I hope you enjoyed the story. Cherie did and amazing job and I can say that I am a very happy artist ♥

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2014-02-18 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for your kind words about my RBB comic! I'm really happy you liked it!

You were right to wait for the fic before discovering the comic. The RBB is a particular challenge and here, the comic is VERY spoilery for the fic as Cherie really, really followed the plot closely ^^ I must admit I'm not that patient: I always go to look at the art first because I'm too impatient to see what my friends have drawn ^^

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2014-02-18 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! ^^ It's so kind of you to help me with this ♥
I just have to fix a couple of sentences and I will send you everything tonight (but the art isn't done yet. I'll maybe go for a MS Paint artwork to make the Word document less depressing xD)

[identity profile] thestarkat.livejournal.com 2014-02-18 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow! Such amazing work. I'd seen the banners and dividers in the story itself, but there's a comic too? Amazing. Gorgeous work and incredible, imaginative idea.

Just wow of the epic variety, you did an incredible job with adding additional artwork, love the shattered watch and how Dean looks so courageous with one eye missing.
Thanks so much for sharing your incredible talent with us, we are humbled.
*hugs*

DON'T APOLOGIZE. I was honestly very relieved you were so busy this weekend as it helped me feel (slightly) less guilty about being so late. /o\

Eeeee! I am always so worried my artists will be disappointed when I claim them for reversebang (I always get the best artists :P), so it's such a relief that you were excited, too. If anyyything about the story is good, it is 100% because you drew such an amazing and inspiring prompt. <3

HAHAHA. NO NO NO DON'T DO THAT. Even when I was banging my head on my desk over how much I had left to write, it was only because there was so much richness in the prompt and I knew I would be a SCRUB if I didn't honor every single bit of it (or at least try my very best).

PM, my dear PM. It hurts me, truly hurts me, that you keep taunting me with this reference gif and have still not sent it to me. I am crying a single perfect tear. :P No, but seriously. Augh. SO HOT. I am very glad you found such ~inspiration~.

You are seriously too, too sweet. Thank you so much for going on this ride with me and for having faith I would finish when you would have had every right to doubt me. Working with you was a dream come true. *___*

That was breathtaking, I love the style you used, the darkness, the bloody eyepatch ... just amazing. Plus I think the comic format works really well for telling an SPN story in 1st person, which is really hard to do!

Wow. Your artwork, as always, is stunning. It takes my breath away.

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2014-02-19 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
You always push yourself a little differently every time,
I love trying something new and experimenting new technique. This one killed me though: crosshatching is far more exhausting and time-consuming than what I had originally planned. My shoulder hurt when I finished the comic. Even if I had a custom brush to help me, at least 70% of the work was done stroke after strokes, very patiently xD

I'm very happy you liked my RBB post and that you noticed the details in the banners and dividers.
Thank you so much ♥

Thank you so much! ^^
I'm so happy you enjoyed my RBB post ♥

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2014-02-19 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
thank you ♥
yes, I love using story in the first person when I draw a comic! I think I drew 5 or 6 Spn comics and most of them started by "I" or "MY name is...". The possibilities are endless :)
Glad you enjoyed my art post ^^

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2014-02-19 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
Thank YOU for enjoying the art so much! ^^
Poor Dean. I REALLY tortured him in this comic! He lost his brother, he lost an eye, he had to mutilate himself and to carve Sam's name in his skin...Not my happiest work!
Glad you loved the comic ♥

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2014-02-19 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, there's a comic too ^^ It was the start of the story actually: I sent the comic to Cherie-Morte and she wrote a fic based on it (because it was for the RBB, the author follows the artist's idea). The story is awesome! I'm blessed ♥
Thank you so much for the great feedback about my work ^^

[identity profile] jj1564.livejournal.com 2014-02-19 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a big fan of your artwork and this is just the best, absolutely breathtaking and haunting. Each piece is wonderful but I really like the way you have caught Dean's expression in page one of the comic, he looks so lost and sad. It all perfectly captures the story.

Waow

Je suis tomber je ne sais comment sur ta ''BD'' et je suis bluffé je n'ai jamais rien vu de tel, je suis une grande adepte des fanfics, dark angel surtout, mais jamais avec une bd qui l'accompagne! Je suis sérieusement amoureuse de ton travail! Je ne suis pas fan des fic ou Sam et Dean sont ensemble , chacun son truc lol, mais la juis carrément tenter...

Par hazar tu n'aurais pas fait ou envie de faire une ''bd'' sur le couple Max /Alec de dark angel, la tu ferrais plus que mon bonheur :-)
Encore bravo sérieusement ton travail est énorme

OMG...this is absolutely amazing!

So fantastic. This and the story deserve each other, they are both so beautiful and painful and gorgeously crafted. Bravo!!

I'll read the story tomorrow, but in the meantime I'm swooning over this comic.

[identity profile] stolen-voices.livejournal.com 2014-03-09 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely STUNNING art. I've just come from reading the fic so I'm still reeling and don't think I can leave an adequate comment but suffice it to say this art felt like a journey on it's own; it's gorgeous and emotional and I'll definitely be looking at it many times again in the future ♥

[identity profile] counteragent.livejournal.com 2014-03-21 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Love this! I especially love the animation on the title card--chilling. Great use of black and white, too!

[identity profile] smallworld-inc.livejournal.com 2014-04-21 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry about the late reply, I haven't logged in this account in about a month ><
Thank you so much for your very kind message about my RBB post! ♥
I love drawing animated banner! Now that I Photoshop CS6, I can do tons of things I couldn't do before :D
