Big Bang!

Everything about Big Bang is ridiculously exciting -- the frantic race to finish your draft (with the help of the email support group of awesome this year - thanks guys!), to the nail-biting omg, which artist will claim my story (almost as nervewracking as hoping you won't be picked last for dodgeball in gym class), to the Big Reveal, which has finally happened. And I'm over the moon that the fabulously talented leyla_lovely picked my story!!! I adore the way she draws Sam and Dean, and can't wait to see what she comes up with for our Big Bang. Here's the summary as it was submitted for claiming:

Lay Your Body Down (Next to Mine)

Dean is devastated when Sam follows his orders on a hunt and ends up getting turned by a vampire. After nearly killing Dean to convince him not to follow, Sam adapts to his new life, forgetting he ever had a brother. Meanwhile, an injured and self destructive Dean is caught in a downward spiral, offering himself to the vampires who gather at the bloodbars of New Orleans, addicted to the heady mix of bloodletting and rough sex and wishing for death. One night Sam hears another vampire laughing about how far the mighty Dean Winchester has fallen, and travels to the Big Easy to see for himself – not that he cares. But seeing Dean again is not what Sam expected, and he ends up offering Dean a deal that changes both their lives. (Some violence, offset by plenty of angsty desperate self-sacrificing Winchester love; features both hurt!Dean and hurt!Sam and BAMF!Dean and BAMF!Sam).

Thanks again to the hardworking Big Bang mods -- So excited!!!!
