Hey @theriverscribe! I did a little bit of fanart of Sammy in the ‘By the Grace of God’ series. I did it instead of studying for my French exam. It’s watercolour, and, while not very good or how I planned it, it’s probably one of the best watercolours I’ve done 😂.

He looks a lot older than I intended and I messed up in a lot of places, but I really tried and am pretty young and new to watercolour.

I hope you like it! I am absolutely obsessed with your story! I hope you’re doing well and I can’t wait for more of your work! 😁💜

[theriverscribe]

Ok so I’m crying at work…

How have I been away from here so long that I missed this?!?! This is beautiful.

Watercolor is one that I’m working on too! Its a tricksy paint…esp if you learned painting with acrylics. But I’m learning to love them now.

Thank you so much for reading and making art and sharing it back with me! This is just the best.

*returns to ugly crying under my desk before coworkers can question*

Hey, Chuck. I just wanted to bust into your bar, make you a PB&J shot, and tell you that one of the best things you were created were moms. Thanks. And, you know, for creating the world and me and cats.

You’re so very welcome!

[spn-bythegraceofgod]

HI THANK YOU FOR TODAY'S CHAPTER I'M LIVING RN AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE.

We love you too! I’m glad you’re having fun!!

Series Summary Below

Series Summary: These stories chronicle a post-season 11 AU where Chuck intervenes after the gun goes off to offer Sam a gift too. A chance for healing beyond the physical. Healing for a soul shredded and burned. Using a piece of His own grace, God reforms Sam Winchester’s soul and body in order for Sam to properly process the traumas of the cage and beyond. Now, everyone must figure out their new roles and relationships. But the story of healing is beyond the ragtag family of misfits on Earth. The Host are reminded what it means to be angels. Heaven isn’t just a system of caring for souls–it is a family. And both have been broken for a long time.   Throughout the By the Grace of God series, many unresolved issues from the show are discussed in ways that usually end in a healthier understanding and outcome.

hi River I just gotta ask,,, will you continue the By the Grace of God series? I'm really not asking to rush you or anything, it's totally cool if you say "nah", I know writing can be hard and a full time job. It's just that this is my favorite series (just finished reading it for the 7th time, yup I can't control myself) and I'll always love it but I'm just trying to figure out if I should stay on my toes and wait for an update or not. It's totally cool if you'll only update in a year or never.

I AM TOTALLY STILL WRITING!!

I’m actually almost done with the newest chapter. Its just taken waaaaay longer than usual because I got a new job that is beyond exhausting and possibly trying to murder me. It leaves me too tired to write or do art or even play video games when i get home! Last week, i worked over 60 hrs!! 😭😭😭

BUT I’m hoping to work here long enough to get a car and them reevaluate my employment options. I’m right outside Tampa and there are tons of opportunities if you have transportation.

My writing and art and too important to me to give them up. I have SO MANY IDEAS for BTGOG and OTHER SERIES! I also have ideas for original novels that I want/need to work on.

Thank you to EVERYONE who has been so supportive and patient for the last several months (holy shit, almost a year since my breakup that led me down to Narnia)!!! You all have kept me going when I felt like giving up. There’s times when I read all the comments I haven’t had time or energy to reply to and just…cried. Its amazing to know that people are still reading my work evem though my updates have virtually stopped.

Thank you all!!

And know that there IS more to come!!

I’m not quite at the point of asking for donations, but I’m about to be starting a fun and fantastical adventure of backpacking through the wilds of America at the end of June…aka by break up turned sour really fast and I’m losing my home.  This is NOT where I saw life at 35…but YAY ADVENTURES!  I had plans for moving on, but they were apparently not fast enough and the new timeline has now dissolved everything.  ANYWAY, I’m spending this month in a furious writing storm.  I’m almost done with the new chapter, and I hope to have the following chapter done soon after that.  I love you all and thank you for your encouragement and support this past year or two!!!

Family Game Night

@theriverscribe I was wondering if you ever thought about having family/flock game night in the bunker. I started envisioning it with Pictionary, and it made me laugh.

I thought of teams Dean and Cas, Sam and Mary, and Raphael and Gabriel:

—

Gabe: FOR DAD’S SAKE, DRAW FASTER, RAPHAEL!!!

Raphael: *gives five minute lecture on taking time to do things right*

Sam: Uhh… you guys are out of time. Like, since three minutes ago.

—

Cas: A line? A circle? A bowl of spaghetti?

Dean: *makes frantic gestures*

Cas: Now you’re circling a meatball. 

Sam: You’re out of time.

Dean: *throws down pencil* Spain, Cas. It was the earth, that was Europe, that was Spain.

Cas: Spain is not circular, Dean.

Dean: I thought you could get it from the general part of the earth I was circling.

Cas: You have absolutely no notion of what the continents look like, do you?

Dean: It’s Pictionary, Cas. 

—

Sam and Mary would obviously win. They both strike me as the kind of people who would be good at board games. Also, they would have Morpheus.

OH MY CHUCK! 😂😂😂

HC ACCEPTED COMPLETELY!!
