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 ?

HELLO YOU.

I am working, I swear, but I wanted to see if I could beat the rush and be the first to comment on this art. :DDD

I AM JUST THE MOST SPOILED LITTLE AUTHOR ON THE PLANET AND I AM DYING STILL, AS I HAVE EVERY TIME I HAVE LOOKED AT THE COMIC FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. Where to even begin with this, I mean, seriously? Such an awesome and unique idea and I am just so honored I got to take a swing at it! I freaked out the moment I saw it: amnesia fic!? dead Sammy?! ALL THE ANGST???? YOUR ART!!!?!!?!!?!? It was too much goodness to be true. So many things I love wrapped up in one. :')

I love love love, as usual, your attention to deal. Every single panel was so rich and told such a complete story, I tried my best to honor that in the fic, but I suppose only time will tell if I've succeeded. XD Sam carving Sam's name all over him in the desperation to remember--augh, it's just all the best things about Dean Winchester wrapped up with a bow and a side of scar kink. :DDDD

There is so much love evident between the two of them in the snapshots you give up: in how tenderly Sam cradles dead!Sam's face and how casually the sprawl over each other when they're smoking. Plus...look. I know I said it like 100 times when you first sent met he comic, but THAT PANEL OF DEAN HOLDING SAM DOWN WHILE HE FUCKS HIM IS JUST. Inspiring...very "inspiring." ;)

All of this art is just so amazing--I guess you know after all these years of me leaving you capslocky comments how much I love your style. But getting to actually work with you has been a dream come true. I'm so sorry I was MIA so much of the time and thank you for being so sweet and patient with me, seriously. I hope that you love the fic as much as I love this art. ♥

wow, i absolutely love the way that dean has sam's name all over him, very primal <3

[redrum669.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, this is so amazing. I don't even have words to describe all the things I like about this art. It just pushes all my buttons :-)

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Absolutely stunning! Makes me wish this was the actual show haha. Can't wait to read Cherie's fic <3

[jalu2.livejournal.com]

Wow! Your artwork never fails to astound me and this is no exception. The details! The angst! The entire idea of the comic! Just all the wow, amazing work.

[saltandburnboys.livejournal.com]

Your artwork always blows me away, and this entry is no exception. I don't know how you do it - it's like looking at a photograph, only with more emotion. I can see the pain and sadness and happiness etched into their faces, and it just brings the whole thing to life. Your attention to detail is astounding, and I'm always so amazed how you manage to get their mannerisms and quirks into your pics.

Great job...absolutely stunning...

Thanks for sharing...

Feeling awe-full, full of awe, like whoa the emotions, this magnificent art, beautiful

CHAPEAU!

[cassiopeia7.livejournal.com]

Oh, bb, these are gorgeous as usual, but there's something different here. Stunning art as always, but you've really captured emotions, too. The love between the brothers, Dean's determination, the pain he must be enduring . . . truly moving images. I love them all, but the header, with the rain, negative!Sam, and Dean on his quest, is just STUNNING. Magnificent work!

. . . I LOVE your Dali-esque watch, too. ♥♥♥

[blackrabbit42.livejournal.com]

Floored, as always. So many buttons pushed. Smoking Sam? The words all over Dean's body?? omg. And their smiles, you've captured them so perfectly.

Just out of curiosity, was one of the panels the original prompt?

:)

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

GORGEOUS. I love all the textures and the cross-hatching 'brushmarks', the limited palette, the page layouts, and WOW, have you nailed their likenesses! The richness of the layers and details blow me away. And how prolific are you?? Beyond awesome. Makes me really wanna sunk my teeth into Cherie's fic! Excellent job, PM. You rocked it again!

[bt-kady.livejournal.com]

OMG!!! This is freakingly awesome! I love them, honey, and I'm definitely gonna reead the fic. *squee*

[gingersnap1224.livejournal.com]

As always, I am completely blown away by how amazing this is. Only you could make death so beautiful.

[becc-j.livejournal.com]

omg it's here! Actually I had forgotten about this one, but now looking at the pages again, I remember the beautiful black and white hatching style. I'm curious to read the story for this as well. Love Sam in white outline in the header and the smashed watch with the numbers leaking out is really cool. The art is amazingly dark, and moody and so sad. I love all there expressions :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I want to read/see the art and th comic but I want to read the story first! Oh the dilemma! I've read the first page - LOVE the scraper board, bleak style you chose, so perfect for this bleak subject matter. The lighting is wonderful.
I'll come back and check out the rest once I've read cherie_morte's words...

[andrea-ze.livejournal.com]

Awesome....thanks you for shareing this.
So cool.

HUG

[equally-dour.livejournal.com]

I know I should be used to it by now but every time you post new art your talent just blows my mind. So I'm just going to say a very eloquent Holy Fuck and shut up. <333

[marciaelena.livejournal.com]

Stunning as always. Dean with Sam's name all over his skin is hauntingly beautiful.

I also thought I'd let you know that you have a few broken links, some of your pictures aren't showing up.

[angst-menagerie.livejournal.com]

It's cruel that you posted the art master post before Cherie unlocked her journal. Now I'm sitting here dying and waiting to see the companion to your art. Seriously though, you two working together is making me freak out (just a bit). You're pretty much my dream team.

Per usual, your art is absolutely breathtaking (and amazing, and stunning, and a hundred other adjectives). I really have to say though, that third page with Sam smoking... All I can say is that I have is this great image in my head of them throwing on some sweats and a t-shirt after sex and sharing a cigarette. God, there is something just sexy about that. AKA, I love that panel.

Also, the fourth page as a whole is my favorite page (and not just because of the second panel). I love the details that you added into it, they really speak volumes. Like how short Sam's hair is young Sam looks in the first panel and then how long his hair is how old he looks in the third one... It's obvious how long they've been together.

The way this is done: black and white and crosshatched textures. It's so brilliant... Moody. For me, it created the deliciously dark effect of subconsciously associating the crosshatches with Dean's scars before I even saw them etched into his skin. It's kind of chilling.

Anyway, amazing job! I can't wait to read the fic. (:

[eviltwin.livejournal.com]

Absolutely freakin' stunning work here! So many things I love about it, the style just suits the story in the comic so much and Dean with Sam's name all over him, omg HI new kink. That is just so gorgeous and so full of emotion...beautiful. x

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Every single piece is utterly spectacular! So much gorgeous detail and the likenesses are superb. I wish I could express how much I love it all but I just can't find the right words.

[gypsy-atavari.livejournal.com]

These are just GORGEOUS! Wow, I'm so excited to read the fic you inspired from your beautiful art. :-)

[fiercelynormal.livejournal.com]

This art is so brilliant, with all the little details (Sam's name carved all over Dean's body!). And the comic itself is just gorgeous and heartbreaking. Absolutely adored it.

[brightly-lit.livejournal.com]

More glorious beautiful work from your talented hands! Dead Sam looked amazing!! Fantastic work, as always. <3

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

Spectacular art!!! You always push yourself a little differently every time, and the results are amazing! I LOVE how the comic book is all cross-hatching, and the shading that cross-hatching creates! You used white as a major accent,and it was so effective, like in Dean's eyelashes on a close-up. Everything was very flowy - the sheets flowing into Dean's hair in the panel underneath. Loved the water droplets throughout - the sweat as they make love, during the trial, the tears. Then the art for the dividers and banners and all? So wonderful! The watch with the numbers running off - ah!! Just gorgeous stuff!! Kudos x one million!!

[tmn1966.livejournal.com]

I waited to look at the art until after I read the story - usually I don't have that much self-control, but something about the summary of the story... I just wanted to wait. I'm really glad I did because, oh man, your art and the story, one without the other, can't even imagine it. Kinda like the fic, huh? :)

Anyway, brilliant artwork as usual. Beautiful and hurtful - you captured the Winchesters perfectly!
