Beta Thanks:
Yay [info]lavinialavender! Hugs her. She valiantly slaughtered hordes of grammar fail. What remains is still my fault.

Words in the Dark (SPN, Medieval AU)

Summary:
Sam reads every night in the chapel. It was Dean’s idea.
Author notes:
This is my third in a medieval AU series. It may not make much sense without reading Sir Dean vs the Griffin and Confessions first.
Yay Beta!: [livejournal.com profile] lavinialavender betad. And then I changed things and she hasn’t seen it since. This is happening more often lately. And there are more typoes. THIS INVERSE EQUATION JUST MAKES SENSE.

Dean’s still proud—maybe just a little smug—that it was his idea... )

Summary:
Sam is, in the end, just a little soul, and for him it's just blackness.
Beta Thanks: Yay [info]lavinialavender ! (and [info]whereupon for reading). But I refuse to give them credit for remaining grammar mistakes. Those are MINE.
Author notes:
I wrote this for no greater reason than, when browsing the tags at [livejournal.com profile] ohsam , I got really sad that "touch starvation" had never been used (i wanted to read that fic!) so I wrote it  myself. If I keep not wanting to edit Freak Camp I may tackle "strangulation/hanging" next...
Random note: every time I think, say or write "this is not your canon Cage" I want there to be a canon cage match, SPN meets professional wrestling or something. And in THIS corner, your champion! Sammy-boy Winchester...

Sam felt it when his body went. At first he was just grateful.  )

Fic is based on a bit of dream from this morning. In my waking hours, I've got a mild incest squick, but apparently my subconscious thinks Sam and Dean are sweet...which they are...garh. Thanks always to excellent beta, fandom obsession buddy and best friend [info]lavinialavender. This fic isn't so much FOR her as it's ALL HER FAULT.

Beta: [livejournal.com profile] lavinialavender read it, but then life ate her, so I did the final grammar check. Remaining fail is mine.
Summary:
You’ve got to be strong when you’re out on your own, but sooner or later we all sleep alone.
Author notes #2: Usually, I SWEAR, I don’t combine Cher and Supernatural in my head. The styles just don’t fit. But every time I hear this song I see the boys missing each other. Possibly it’s the closet Wincest fan in my that says they are always alone if they’re not with each other. This was eventually going to be an Apo-verse fic (for some reason, ANYTHING goes in the Apo-verse, possibly it’s the deer!Impala) and a version may be in that verse some day, but this just came out gen.
Author Note #2: Even as I post this, I don't think I quite nailed what I wanted to say, but I was sick of having it floating around, almost done, in Gdocs. Fic is fic, yeah?

Sooner or later we all sleep alone... )

This whole medieval world spawned out of "Sir Dean vs. the Griffin". There's at least one more story in this 'verse rattling in my head.  [livejournal.com profile] lavinialavender  read this story over, but then I changed things, so, as far as typos and forgotten verbs, proceed at own risk...

"One More For the Road" (Apo-verse)

So I said to my brain: “Brain! What would we like to write today?” And then I gave it a list.

1. Deanna fic—[livejournal.com profile] lavinialavender and I have a comm—[livejournal.com profile] deewinchester —devoted to our interpretation of girl!Dean, and how societal pressures could shape “Deanna” to basically become “Dean.” We rely heavily on the fact that women die a lot in SPN, and Dean(na) would do ANYTHING to protect their little brother.

2. S5 fic—because S6 starts tomorrow, and I’m not sure I want those influences cluttering up what I think now.

3. ORIGINAL fic—because Mirai needs to give her brother some hurt/comfort, Kev has to deal with a dragon, and Haylan has to survive his mother one more day.

4. Apo-verse works-in-progress

So what do I end up doing?

I end up writing a completely new Apo-verse fic. Because (my brain promised me) “It will be short!”

Thousand+ words later, I think we have to have a talk about our differing definitions of short (and while I’m at it, maybe I should talk to someone about this habit I have of talking to myself).

Hope you enjoy. I think this is just a sign that the Apo-verse is alive and well and breeding plot bunnies in my skull

Title: One More for the Road
Disclaimer: If anyone owns anything in this relationship, Supernatural owns my heart. And won't give it back. And won't pay me for it. (i.e. Don't own, don't profit) Though the AU twist is mine. If you want to jump in this crazy place with me, please do! There's plenty of room, the water's fine, and I enjoy company.
Characters:
Sam, John, Dean, deer!Impala
Warnings:
This AU is a strange place, built on a joke and spiraling out of control. If you can't handle a post-Apocalyptic world with mutant African deer, and a gleeful disregard for the stodgy rules of logic, turn back now!
Rating:
PG
Word count:
1525
Spoilers:
None, pre-series
Summary:
Just another town. Just another fight. Until it’s not.
Author notes #1:
This AU (I call it the Apo-verse) started as a joke, but somehow it got out of hand. The Impala is currently an African deer and the world in general is post-Apocalyptic (nukes, biological weapons, the end of broadcast television). Other stories in this world, posted and in the works include: “Live by the Sword”, "Two Men and an Impala" (currently a WIP), and "Dean vs. the Sex Traders" (also currently a WIP). Honestly, I’ve always wanted to write a “Sam leaves for Standford” fic, but never really thought I had anything valid to add. I’m still not sure I have anything to add, but it’s the Apo-verse, so anything goes.
Author note #2: Again, [livejournal.com profile] lavinialavender has excellently beta’d this fic.

Sam knows the rhythm of their fights like he knows shotgun recoil and the sway of the Impala... )

Spoilers:
Ummm, if S1 existed, this would take place between episodes 1 and 4. Somewhere.
Summary:
After leaving Stanford, Sam and Dean find their rhythm again as brothers and family after an attack in the mountains.
Author notes #1:
This AU (I'm calling it the Apo-verse) started as a joke when I realize that an Impala, in addition to being one of the awesomest cars ever, is also an African deer. With my deep devotion to puns, I quickly set about creating a world that would justify Sam and Dean riding around on one. The result is an early, completely man-made Apocalypse (nukes, biological weapons, the end of television) which allows Sam and Dean to hunt everything they did originally and also have inherited a giant, mutant deer from their father. Somehow this got out of hand. The original story "Two Men and an Impala" (currently a WIP) is pure, funny crack, and the second "Dean vs. the Sex Traders" (also currently a WIP) started out funny, and got dark somewhere along the way. Then because I wanted to see Sam with a sword, this fic appeared and got finished first. It takes place first, chronologically, and I'm kind of in love.
Author note #2: Other Apo-verse stories are: "One More For the Road" (preseries)
Author note #2: Sometimes the beta process fixes a couple wrong words and I'm good to go. This time [livejournal.com profile] lavinialavender made me so much better, the original draft will hopefully never see the light of day. You should thank her, profusely.

Rating:
R

Spoilers:
S1 finale, alternate ending
Summary:
AU of "Devil's Trap." Dean dies inside the cabin, and that changes everything.
Author notes:
So much in the Supernatural universe hangs on the delicate thread of true family linking the Winchester men. This fic explores the choices that might have been made when part of that web is de-anchored. [livejournal.com profile] lavinialavender  is my beta, though she didn't read it directly before I posted it, so there may be errors, and they are all mine.
Author note #2: I have fallen in love with parenthetical, italicized flashbacks. Absolute love. I may have written a story recently that didn't have them, but I don't remember it. And I fully admit that part of this love is they wouldn't have let me do that in undergrad. I'm pretty sure the profs would have given me the look, you know?

Instincts from Hell

 Started watching S4 of Supernatural again today. And thus...wrote this.

I'm not convinced this is the best interpretation of the boy's relationship in season 4, but it's definitely a possibility.

Title: Instincts from Hell

Dean, Bobby
Warnings:
meditation on (no graphic depiction of) torture
Rating:
PG-13 for language and torture
Word count:

Summary:
Dean is back and even the little answers aren't quite what they seem.
Author notes: Started watching S4 again, and was thinking about how people react to Dean, and how he reacts to them when he comes back. It's all off. Just trying to nail down what I think is going through his head. This is a possible interpretation. Thanks, always to my amazing beta, fandom facilitator, and number 1 SPN obsession buddy [livejournal.com profile] lavinialavender . 

When Bobby asks him what he remembers... )

You know, I put the first DVD of S4 in to eat my late lunch, and pretty soon I was on the fourth episode *stares* Amazing how quickly it captures me again.
