Author: @theydraggedmein - Ao3

Rating: Mature

Archive Warnings: None

Major Tags: Minor character death, Canonical character death, Loss of faith, Unhealthy coping mechanisms, alcohol abuse, AU - human, non-graphic(-ish) sexual content between men

Pairings: James Novak/Amelia Novak, Dean Winchester/Castiel, Jimmy Novak/Dean Winchester/Castiel

Summary: James Novak met the love of his life when he was ten, by the time he was barely thirty his life revolves around finding the next thing to help him forget that she and their daughter are dead. Then one day he breaks his usual pattern and enter one green eyed man singing in a bar bringing him home.

It’s a story about all consuming loss but far more important is it a story about new beginnings and hope.

Teaser:

It’s another half hour of songs he mostly doesn’t know but which seem even more

hauntingly beautiful for it, before the green eyed man puts down his guitar to the sparse but genuine applause of the patrons; Jimmy has a hand wrapped around his still almost full beer bottle and eyes half closed in concentration trying to hear every word from the stranger’s mouth. It’s only the strong arm wrapping itself around his shoulder that keeps him from falling to the floor as warm, soft lips press against his cheek and a smiling voice whispers,

“I’m so happy to see you.”

Another bottle’s placed in front of them and the arm’s pulling Jimmy closer to the stranger, insistently yanking until he gets the hint and gracelessly tumbles from the bar stool into the man’s firm chest punching a startled laugh from him and then a hand pressed against the small of his back leads Jimmy towards a table in the dark corner, guiding him down on the couch-like seating, the stranger sliding in, crowding him against the wall. The musician takes a long, slow drag of his beer, lids closing over green eyes in enjoyment and Jimmy’s eyes are glued to the way the man’s Adam’s apple goes up and down as the cold liquid makes its way down the man’s throat. Not until the movement stops does he raise his gaze once more locking eyes with the stranger, transfixed by the way his green eyes seem to darken as the bottle is slowly taken from his (Jimmy’s eyes drop to look) slightly reddened and wet looking lips.

There’s no telling who moves first, but there’s no denying the heat soaring through him as he opens his mouth to grant access to the stranger’s tongue, the taste of him exploding on Jimmy’s taste buds and it’s all too much or maybe in no way enough as it washes over him, sweeps him away on a wave of things he hasn’t felt for so painfully long; there’s no way to process it beyond the feeling of his skin being too tight to contain him or the way flames lick over his skin where they’re connected. Their lips and the musician’s hands making their way under Jimmy’s shirt, calloused fingers rubbing gentle circles on his skin even as the man leans closer, nips at his lower lip only to pull away with a light smile. The green eyed man’s voice is hoarse and impossibly deeper than before when he says,

“Let’s get out of here.”

theydraggedmein asked:

So... if we find ourselves in the peculiar position of having written far more than we anticipated and thus *possibly* making it to the next type of bang, is it then too late by now (march 10th) to upgrade the size of bang we're submitting? I'm not saying it's happening, but it might unless it's too late to change by now - in which case I'll just make sure to stay at the limit :)

This is an excellent question. There is one more author check in before final drafts are due. Since at this point you have an artist already, it is up to you to communicate with your artist and make sure that they are comfortable creating an additional piece of art for your story within the time frame. 

If your artist has no issues with the time line and creating an additional piece you can let us know about this upgrade at the next check in in the option “Any other questions/comments/concerns” spot. As far as upgrade/downgrade with check in there will not be an option for that. 

We do not want to try to contain your creativity by telling you that upgrading isn’t an option. We just want to make you aware that it is something that needs to be discussed with your artist partner. Because you are now in a partnership with your artist and communication is key

We will always encourage more DCJ because the world needs it. 

We hope that this answers your question. If not, let us know!

FAQ upgrade/downgrade author dcjbb dcjbigbang dean/cas/jimmy dean/cas/jimmy big bang theydraggedmein

theydraggedmein asked:

I was wondering as to this artist claim business: Do you give the author's contactinfo to the claiming artist or do you tell the author to contact the artist? (Does this question make sense to anybody not currently in my head? Well, we'll see, won't we :) - )

When the claims come in (and this mod has time) e-mails will be going out to authors and artists with info on which fic they claimed/who claimed their fic, and all the contact information they need to move forward. 

It is from this point on that author and artist should establish communication and begin discussing things for art for the fic. Good communication is key to every relationship and this one is no different. Make sure that the artist/author relationship is one with open communication! 

If you have any other questions please let us know.

theydraggedmein replied to your post “Summary and Draft Submissions”
So you do need a copy of everything we’ve written so far?

Yes, @theydragged me in. A link to the google docs, or an attachment to the draft. You have already submitted everything but the draft, so if you will just send another email with the draft and that would be fine. 

If you have any other questions, let us know. Remember, communication is key!
