Call for Artist J2RPF and SamJess Fic

As part of the J2/SPN Big Bang on LiveJournal

Hello SPN Artists out there SPN J2 Big Bang is looking for artists for the following two fics 20k+ word fics requiring one piece of art and a banner only.

To claim go to this post on LiveJournal (link to open claims page) and comment with JJ1 or SJ1 to claim your respective preference. 🥰

JJ1 - Jared/Jensen-1

Title: The Now of Us

Pairing: Jared/Jensen

Rating: NC-17

Summary:

Jared and Jensen have come this close to crossing the line over the years, but always backed away from acknowledging the depth of their feelings for one another. Will two accidents and too many long separations make this the year that all changes? Visuals: 2005 three months into filming, a little drunk at a dimly lit bar, a moment - Jared’s fingers brushing over Jensen’s face and the corner of his mouth, Jensen’s lips parting as he realizes what he’s feeling for his costar isn’t friendship; 2006 an unplanned kiss on the balcony of Jared’s highrise hotel room overlooking the beautiful Vancouver cityscape at night; 2009 Jared and Jensen wrestling in a con hotel in tee shirts and boxer briefs, Jensen pinned on his back, breathless from Jared leaning over him, long strands of hair hanging over his face, sweat darkening his tee shirt, grinning in victory; 2015 Jensen hugging Jared desperately when he got back from the Jib con Jared missed because of depression; 2024 Jared lending an exhausted Jensen his beanie on a plane, the two sleeping leaning on each other; 2026 Jared and Jensen jumped in a dark alley in Rome and robbed at knifepoint, held back and helpless to protect each other; reluctantly needy Jared with an injured leg sitting on a hospital bed, Jensen kneeling to fasten a leg brace around his bare thigh; present day Jared and Jensen sitting on the edge of the pool in the moonlight at Jared’s house in Austin, finally confessing their feelings (and then doing something about it)

Warnings: none

--------------------------

SJ1 - Sam/Jess-1

Title: Billie's Gift

Pairing: Sam/Jess

Rating: PG-13

Summary:

Set after 13.12 but before 13.13. Sam is in a dark place. Sam and Dean return to the Bunker to find a resurrected Jessica Moore waiting for them. She is dressed in the nightgown she died in with a plaid flannel overtop for warmth. Billie has brought her back to life to pass along a message to the Winchesters, particularly Sam who is struggling with depression at this point in canon. She has so many questions and wants to be with Sam, but 13 years have passed and Sam feels he is too damaged and his soul too tarnished to be with his beautiful young girlfriend. Plus he feels like he got her killed. Jess only has 3 days before Billie will reap her again. The boys tell her some of their experiences over the years she's been dead and she shares Billie's cryptic message. Eventually she and Sam make love and she absolves him of any guilt he might feel. Billie comes and takes Jess back to Heaven, vaguely threatening the Winchesters (because they don't know that Lucifer is back in their world yet.)

Some visuals of interest: Jess in the nightgown and flannel, barefoot in the library waiting for them. Sam pointing a gun at Jess (dressed in that nightgown & flannel combo), Jess and Dean having coffee as they discuss Sam. Sam, head bowed in sorrow while Jess has a comforting hand on his back. Jess and Sam making love. Billie as a menacing figure (dressed in her black leather duster and with her scythe.) Sam sitting on the edge of a bed, Dean on his knees in front, one hand on Sam's cheek with the two men touching foreheads, eyes closed (like they did in the show finale)

Warnings: Discussion of past suicide attempts and description of depression.

Two fics one J2 RPF and one Sam/Jess are looking for artists in the SPNJ2 BigBang over on Live Journal.

If either of these spark your SPN artist muse please claim. 🥰

Samulacra

Title: Samulacra

Artist: @samwinjester

Author: @peanutbutterandbananasandwichs

Rating: G Pairing: none

Fic Summary: "This is the part where he shakes. Where his vision tunnels, knees buckle, blood drains out along with everything else.

It doesn’t come.

His heartbeat is steady.

He looks down.

Blue. Neon-bright, staining his hands, his stomach, glowing faintly in the dark. And then… an electric spark arcs from the tear in his abdomen to the stuff slipping down his fingertips."

-

The angels have fallen, the Gates of Hell are still open, still, Sam is alive, somehow, and after the last year things with Dean finally feel…easy, easier than they've ever been in fact. But Sam can't shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong, something that will question the nature of reality, the soul, and Sam himself.

SAMULACRA by @peanutbutterandbananasandwichs

Fic Summary: The angels have fallen, the Gates of Hell are still open, still, Sam is alive, somehow, and after the last year things with Dean finally feel…easy, easier than they’ve ever been in fact. But Sam can’t shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong, something that will question the nature of reality, the soul, and Sam himself.

“This is the part where he shakes. Where his vision tunnels, knees buckle, blood drains out along with everything else. It doesn’t come. His heartbeat is steady. He looks down. Blue.

The Priest and The Bad Boy

Title: The Priest and The Bad Boy

Artist: @amberdreams123

Author: @hello-starlingfics

Rating: M

Pairing: Sam/Dean (unconsummated)

Fic Summary: It’s been a strange week for Father Sam Wesson. Nothing in his life seems real.

Art Post for "Broken Horses"

Created for the @swjpbang SWJP Reverse Bang 2026. 💖

The prompt came with the concept of Jensen being a horse or being able to turn into a horse and I am beyond psyched at what @timehasa-way did with the prompt and art. The tale she spun, I fell completely in love with it and it has elements in it that touched me deeply. To read the story head over to Ao3 here: Broken Horses

For the full art post please go here: Art Post - Broken Horses Ao3

Jared sleeping in a cave by the campfire. A visual of how Jensen sees Jared in one scene of the fic. ⬇⬇

Broken Horses

Title: Broken Horses

Artist: @masoenart

Author: @timehasa-way

Rating: Explicit

Pairing: Jared Padalecki/Jensen Ackles

Fic Summary:

Jensen escaped the dangers of being the only person in his village with magic as a child, fleeing to the forest that’s become his sanctuary, his ability to transform into a horse his true escape from ever being associated with the hateful humans he’s left behind. He remains undisturbed as he grows into adulthood, until a strangely familiar man is chased into his territory, also fleeing for his life. At first reluctant to help, Jensen finds himself intrigued by the stranger and led on a journey to return to his humanity, and maybe even his former home.

Jared grew up thinking that his best friend had been an imaginary one, shielded by his parents from any association with magic that might condemn him. When his own magic manifests in him as an adult, he’s forced to run for his life, into a forest he has no idea how to survive on his own. Unexpectedly approached by a lone horse, he finds himself not only surviving, but reunited with his very real childhood best friend. He only wishes he didn’t have to drag them both back into danger, but he can’t abandon the family he’s left behind.

Out of Touch Tuesday

Title: Out of Touch Tuesday Artist: @kalsoapie Author: @timehasa-way Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Pairing: Walker & Dean

Summary: Cordell Walker had just returned to his family after being undercover for months, only to wake up on a Tuesday morning and find himself taking the form of a golden retriever. Quickly returning to his human form, he considered the fact that the transformation may have just been a dream, but knew better than to ignore just how real it felt. Luckily, Cordell had come across someone several years before who would know exactly how to deal with something so unexpected and strange: Dean Winchester. He expected Dean to be able to help him with such a bizarre situation, but didn’t expect for Dean to help uncover and heal an emotional rift within his family.

Sorrow

Title: Sorrow

Artist: Avery Edits (YouTube link)

Author: @crowleysmistress

Rating: Mature

Pairing: Sam & Ruby (Gen)

Fic Summary: When Sam Murphy’s wife dies and her ghost is haunting him he hires a professional to help him. Hunter Dean Winchester finds that this client is very different than most, from having read up on angry spirits, to volunteering to go into the veil to guide his wife through and a few more surprises. But in the end it comes down to the same thing as always hunting things and saving people.

On the Ranch (May 9)

Title: On the Ranch

Artist: @jld71

Author: @amypond45

Rating: R

Pairing: Jared Padalecki/Jensen Ackles

Fic Summary:

Six months after his father’s death, Jared returns to the family ranch. There he encounters Jensen, hired by his dad as a ranch hand, then promoted to ranch manager as the job got to be too much for the older man. Jensen has insinuated himself into the family like a son, and Jared is both jealous of and attracted to him. Sparks fly as Jared faces his past and deals with his growing interest in Jensen.

Sampunzel And Other Bedtime Stories

Title: Sampunzel and other bedtime stories

Artist: @xpurdyglambertx

Author: @entropic-saudade

Rating: M

Pairing: Gen (though Weirdcestiel may be implied)

Fic Summary:

What does co-parenting a three-year-old with God powers mean for Team Free Will?

When it’s time for bed, stories are a little more… involved.

AKA, a canon divergent from 15x20 fic where Jack used his power to get Cas back from the Empty, and everyone lives in the bunker happily ever after. But while Jack is still getting used to his godhood, he accidentally puts Sam, Cas, and Dean through the wringer of reenacting his favorite fairy tales.

Compared to being part of Chuck’s stories, being part of Jack’s was a walk in the park.

You know, if the park had poison apples and swaths of Sam’s luscious locks everywhere.

Accidents Happen

Title: Accidents Happen

Artist: @jld71

Author: @fictionallemons

Rating: M Pairing: J2

Fic Summary:

When accident-prone Jared literally runs over Jensen with his bicycle, it's the start of a serious crush on the probably straight green-eyed hunk. But it turns out Jensen might be interested after all, and he might be even more accident prone than Jared. Missed connections and a very happy ending ensue.

For Better, For Worse

Title: For Better, For Worse

Artist: @masoenart

Author: @klove0511

Rating: E

Pairing: Sam Winchester/Rowena Macleod

Fic Summary: No one is really dead until you see their body. That thin hope is what kept her going when the demons left a crater in her life with Sam. But after three years, even she has to admit that finding Sam alive would be a miracle. So who is that familiar figure at the end of her driveway?

Bunker Stroll

Title: Bunker Stroll

Artist: @Pumpci

Author: @crowleysmistress

Rating: Mature Pairing: Samifer

Fic Summary: When Sam needs to process things and is currently giving Dean the silent treatment for what he did regarding Gadreel, he resorts to Hallucifer; or at least a version of him. S2 Sam Hallucifer is here to show Sam how badass he can be in typical Lucifer fashion, with some snark, memories and victim blaming thrown in but Sam knows how to differentiate. Right??

We Live in Hunger

Title: We Live in Hunger

Artist: @evil-pistachio

Author: @carryonmywaywardsam

Rating: mature Pairing: Sam/Dean

Fic Summary: Sam returns to Winchester Parish clean, controlled, and starving. Years ago, he gave in to a hunger that saved a life and cost him his own. He tells himself it’s behind him. That he’s stronger now. But hunger doesn’t disappear. It waits. It learns. And when it comes back, it doesn’t feel like a choice.
