ARTpost: ReverseBang 2022 The First!

For my first spn_reversebang of 2022, I submitted my papercut puppetmaster artwork in the Either category, which means the author had the choice to either play in the SPN or the RPF corner. I had deliberately kept the facial features of my papercut art neutral, so the author could also pick the roles for the characters. I was thrilled the story ended up being a Supernatural AU, with the artwork turned into a more metaphorical puppetmaster. Go read the fic to find out who's pulling the strings...



Prompt Number: E3003
Art title: If They Knew How Misery Loved Me
Artist: beelikej

Fic title: These Are the Lives You’d Love to Lead
Author: samisadeangirl [genevra1676 on AO3]
Pairing: Sam/Dean | Fandom/Genre: SPN, Stanford era AU
Rating: G (art) & NC-17 (fic) | Word Count: 11045 | Warnings: Mind Control
Summary: Sam gets a call at Stanford from his estranged father that Dean's been hurt on their latest hunt, and John needs his help to find a cure before it's too late. What Sam finds when he rushes to his brother's aid however, isn't what he expected, and the lies and manipulations that follow leave one wondering who is the puppet master making these puppets dance to their tune...

Thank you samisadeangirl for coming up with such a cool premise for my puppetmaster and for your excellent idea of the extra scene; I had a lot of fun playing with these guys:)
