I will travel far beyond the path of reason Take me back to Eden, take me back to Eden
Jack is dead, Chuck has declared “The End,” and Castiel’s relationship with Dean has never been more broken. Seeing no reason to stay on Earth, Castiel attempts to surrender to the Empty, only to be rejected and condemned to further suffering. He asks Naomi for one favor, then, in order to return to Heaven and serve with the last of his brethren: to erase all memories of his years and involvement with the Winchesters and Jack, as the loss is too great for him to bear. Meanwhile, Dean and Sam must deal with Chuck on their own—or perhaps with the help of a few familiar faces and surprising allies. Little do they know about the Empty and Billie’s plan for Jack, which takes a change in course when the Winchesters lock away Chuck, but Amara remains free. Castiel discovers a group of souls determined to save Heaven in their own way—souls who also seem to know more about him and his past than he does. Paths eventually re-converge, but will Cas be able to remember who he once was? And is there any hope of healing his relationship with Dean?
With this update I thought I'd share all the chapter art so far...
And new for this chapter...

In Prince's funky name, amen.
Millennial here. All the above and:
Please send me the training or tutorial in a written format with maybe some screenshots if necessary. I don't want a video tutorial. I don't want to waste time trying to scroll to the exact moment in the instructions that I need and then have to pause and replay it because I missed the .01 seconds of actually relevant information.
Please. Text. Maybe some images for clarification. I can read. I promise.
Skimmable, SEARCHABLE instructions. If they're long, there should be a hyperlinked table of contents.
Elder Millennial here cosigning HARD
If you really need to show a movement, embed a gif or 15-scond-or-less video in the text, like Jod intended.
Bringing it back to a Gen-Xer...I will never watch the video. Ever.
Maybe if I can get CC on it and I can fast forward to the words that will interest me but aside from that...no, never.

Summary: What happens when corporate, satellite radio and a small town disc jockey collide?
Angel Radio needs a new hero. That is, they need a new DJ to anchor their classic rock channel, and Dean Winchester of Sioux Falls, South Dakota just might be the man for the job. That's the directive Castiel receives from his boss, Naomi: recruit Dean to leave his morning shift at KARZ and move to the Los Angeles, where a more lucrative career in broadcasting could await him.
But Dean's not sure he can leave his friends and found family behind—not even when Castiel shows up looking like someone who could light his fire, and the attraction is entirely mutual.
And here, at last, is my second @deancasreversebang collaboration for this round! I was so delighted to have my art picked by Tierra469, another author whose work in this fandom I've enjoyed for a long time, yet I've never had the chance to work with her before.
This was my original art piece submission:
It's another piece I did inspired by the work of a pre-Raphaelite artist—in this case, Evelyn De Morgan's Phosphorus and Hesperus.
Fairly obviously, I was thinking of some kind of Empty rescue/fix-it scenario with this one, and Tierra469's story delivers with a unique and delightful spin on the genre. In fact, I could have done a ton more art based on some of the vivid imagery in it, but I just couldn't resist Dean's underwater dream from early in the story. It gave me the chance to use some of my favorite watercolor-flow tricks, which I also employed on the title banner and the "torches" in the original piece.
If any art nerds are curious, what I do to get the sharp wavy/flow effects is heavily mix in Floetrol paint additive to my tube watercolors. Floetrol is generally meant to be used with acrylic paint, but I found it can do fun things with watercolor as well—especially when used on hot press, smooth paper and if I dry it quickly to avoid bleed-out (I do this by sticking my wet watercolor paper/blocks in my oven on "proof" setting until dry.)
Please go read the story, I know you're going to enjoy it as much as I did!

“Welcome back, Castiel.” Castiel blinked, not realizing he’d left any place to which he needed to return. His only knowledge was of the bright lights of Heaven’s offices framing Naomi's face as she looked down at him. Her fearsome trueform was tightly contained within her vessel, her human expression caring and serene...
When I let myself dream, it’s always of you. And I swear someday I won’t be too scared to tell you that. — **A special thank you to everyone who joined me on the livestream. You’re all so damn awesome and talented, I’m beside myself about it.**
