Author's notes: A thousand thank yous to my betas! traciaknows, lapillus, and particularly muffaletta, who was awesome enough to go through line by line to let me know what worked, what didn't, and what desperately needed to be changed. You guys rock! Originally posted here in response to a prompt on the spnkink_meme community but the story itself is very much gen.

( I've got a present for you, Dean. )

So I think I need to rewatch S4. As in, all of it. From Lazarus to Lucifer and yes, that unfortunately includes Yellow Fever and ASS and CAIADB. There are just so many interesting themes and nuances that keep getting brought up and even each of the MOTW throwaway episodes does something to refer to the overall mytharc in some way or another, that it sort of necessitates a second run through.

( Cut to spare you pointless Sam and general S4 related ramblings. Also, to save your friends' lists because I can't be pithy to save my life, I swear. )

All of which is a lot of Sam thoughts from someone who is very much a Dean!girl, but what can you do? Dean's absolutely my favorite Winchester, partially because his logic typically makes such sense to me. I can follow each step he takes because it's often what I'd do myself. OTOH, trying to suss out what Sam was thinking and when is a a much more difficult exercise. Thankfully, I enjoy puzzles.

Well, there's that and also reading the beautiful Sam-centric story Wind Shear by the ever talented samidha, which is just a gloriously dark and gritty look into Sam's mind during the summer that Dean was dead. It very much makes me have thinky thoughts. Highly recommended, if you've not read it already.

So yeah, I think I am going to have to rewatch all of these episodes, if for no other reason than so that I can get properly into Sam's head space so I can write the follow up to Wisdom to the Mighty, Succour to the Brave. Even if it means rewatching Yellow Fever.

God give me strength.

Title: For The Grace (1/2)
Rating: PG-13
Genre and/or Pairing: Gen. John, Dean (mentions of Sam)
Spoilers: Stanford era, no major spoilers
Word Count: ~4600
Warnings: Some language
Summary: Sam's gone and John receives a harsh lesson in listening to what isn't said when Dean gets hurt on a hunt.

Notes: Written for the perfectly awesome SPN H/C meme last month for a prompt requesting hurt!Dean and worried!John while Sam was at college.


( Dean went quiet whenever he was hurt. )

Title: Dirges In The Dark
Rating: PG-13
Genre and/or Pairing: Gen. Dean, Sam
Spoilers: TWT, mid S4
Word Count: ~1750
Warnings: A bit of language and a dash of violence
Summary: A hunt catches Dean off guard when he and Sam try to save a Seal. Written for a bondage & H/C prompt on the May 2009 SPN Kink Meme (for which I wrote gen, because I am lame.)

( It was stupid, really. A year of battles with angels and demons and cataclysmic nightmare creatures and you'd think that would mean the beings of this world wouldn't be able to touch them anymore. Wouldn't be that big of a threat. )

I think I haven't updated this particular journal in nigh on two and a half years. Maybe more, at this point. It's been a long time, anyway. But this has always sort of been my writing and fandom journal and lately, well, I've been having more writing and fandom type thoughts. So in that vein, SPN finale coda fic, anyone?

Title: Wisdom to the Mighty, Succour to the Brave
Rating: PG-13
Genre and/or Pairing: Sam, Dean
Spoilers: Post 4.22 (spoilers for the finale)
Warnings: A bit of language
Summary: It's the end of the world as they know it, but Sam's not feeling fine. (Post the finale, the Brothers Winchester have a needed conversation and probably would do better with some alcohol.)

( Dean kept peering out the windows. Every few minutes he would return back in the same spot, glancing down and out at the highway as if expecting to see the armies of Hell - or perhaps Heaven - there and at the ready. )
