The indefatigable Mrs. Griffin

Read, said the chick!  
This is a really special fic, y'all: the wonderful elwarre has written a tony, subtly surreal coming-of-age-ish AU for the spnaufestival called "Go, said the bird." I just love it! The setting, the sweetness, the boys doing the very best they can ... it's just lovely! Featuring Dean, Benny, Sam and a smattering of other, interestingly cast SPN characters. Thanks for you patience, Elwarre; you're awesome. And big congrats on publishing! :D

It was actually kinda fun to look for young Ty Olsson pics. He was quite the chunkster! He actually looks a lot more handsome now...

Oooh you de-aged Benny beautifully! I'm dead curious as to why Sam and Dean look so worried/haunted and Benny so happy...

One word: John. (This story is pretty hard on John, but it's a complete AU. I don't see it with a whole lot of relationship to the John we know on the show.) I have a LOT of sympathy for the show's John, btw! Just a forewarning if you read the fic...

And thank you!

Aha! Ok then, no problem. There are not many fics that are willing to give John much sympathy so I'm inured to it now, even though personally I like him. In of the school of thought that he was in a tough spot, doing the best he could.

That's my take on John too. He was traumatized. He did what he did to cope!

Beautiful banner, I love the whole composition of the bird and the rough lettering. Very cool. The portraits are great, I especially like the troubled look on Sam's face. Good stuff.

These are divine. Really love your textures and lines - also the bird silhouette with the three, that is awesome, always dig your layouts <3

These are gorgeous! I loved how you de-aged all three characters (it's not that often you see younger Benny and you did an awesome job); Sam is yummy with that scowl and Dean with his freckles.

The banner is wonderful, I love how you used the cut out of the bird, and how you've positioned all the portraits.

Will definitely check out the fic. Thank you for sharing these, they're beautiful :)

Younger Benny was a bit of a challenge, because the actor was quite stout in his earlier days and I Benny wasn't in this story. It was fun! And thank you, lovely!
