THE ORIGINAL PROMPT


"Jared and Jensen in [a] wine cellar. Jared captures the moment."

This was a quickie drawing, randomly inspired and done all in one night (I'd been working on a different prompt for several weeks already). When claims day came, this was the first of my two prompts to be claimed! Thanks, jillmariej! Basically, I love J2 and I love wine bottles (I collect them, actually), and a combination of the two sounded pretty awesome.

After a few different [very fleshed out, lol] ideas, Jill eventually settled on the office workplace, enemies to lovers, winter holiday schmoopfest story for my art to accompany. Once she had most of the fic written, I made a few changes to the original prompt to make it more Christmassy, and then turned it into the header that you see at the top of this post.

Then I made a couple dividers, and I thought that I was pretty much done.

DIVIDERS


Pretty simple, no?

But then, less than a week before our posting date, I got inspired again and created one more full piece for this story. I was thrilled that Jill made Dee Wallace such a prominent character, as she was on of my favorite guest stars from Season 11, and I gleefully took the opportunity to draw her with our boys.

This is the base image, and what ended up becoming the final scene of the story.

As I tend to do, I made a few alternate versions, both which you'll find at the end of the story on AO3. I had a great time working with Jill on this story, and I'm sure I speak for both of us when I say - we hope you enjoy both the story and the art, and happy holidays to you all! ♥

Just a reminder that you are awesome and I loved, loved, loved working with you! Thank you so much for the lovely art and for your patience!

Thank YOU! For putting up with me being so slow to read the final story, initially, and my hesitancy towards asshole!Jared. He turned around in the end, and I think he and Jensen are going to be very successful and happy together (as they always are ^_^). I love how you incorporated my art so specifically into that final scene! Thank for so much for all your hard work; I look forward to seeing you finish more stories ;) ♥
