Dean is determined to prove himself to his dad, but it gradually becomes apparent these traps are a little too dangerous, and Sam is experiencing more effects than a mild sedative should cause. Just as Sam passes out, Dean comes face to face with his father -- with black eyes. It turns out this test wasn't for Dean after all.Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Bad Parenting, "You Need Me Alive" Suicide ThreatVisually enticing scenes or details for artist: Teen boys, tied up Sam, the boys dodging traps in forestry, crossing a river, sick/hurt Sam wearing Dean's jacket, Dean helping him walk, the boys running while arrows fire at them, Demon!John examining unconscious Sam, Demon!John torturing Dean, Sam holding a gun to his own head, Sam seizing, hurt!Dean carrying Sam, Dean asleep at Sam's bedsideAny additional information you might want artists to know: Currently at 4.5k.

Crowley unintentionally gives him an idea, and Dean switches Samās blood transfusion for demon blood. This averts the Gadreel arc by having Dean violate Samās autonomy in demon blood ways rather than possession ways. As always, it turns out okay.Warnings: Canon-typical violence, discussions of substance addiction (the substance is demon blood), suicidal ideationVisually enticing scenes or details for artist: Dean kissing Samās forehead while heās in the hospital bed, them hugging in the Impala, platonic bedsharing! Also, instead of Gadreel being the one to kill the demons in 9x2, itās Sam - in the aftermath, Dean rushes in to find Sam with the worldās biggest nosebleed. Parallels to AHBL part 1 in that Sam falls to his knees and Dean rushes to hold him up T^T But he just falls unconscious, donāt worry.Any additional information you might want artists to know: Title is from Door by Mitski! Also, thereās a recurring motif of forest elements, specifically strangler figs and river stones. No actual forests are found in this fic, just metaphors.

The neon signage above them washing the scene in purple and blue light. Sam is wrapped in a comforter stolen from the motel room, which slightly drags on the gravel despite his height. - Dean and Sam sitting against Baby's bumper, blanket wrapped around both of them and underneath them, huddled together as they look upward, Sam trying to make himself small. The sky above them is full with stars. FIC008Title: The Final GameRating: Mature (language, violence)Word count: ~20,000 Background Ship(s): noneSummary: In the new post-Chuck world, Sam and Dean take the "we time" they deserve in the form of an extended vacation. Unfortunately, on their first hunt back, they dance too close with death, forcing them to evaluate their relationship. They were on the same page about that, right? Wires get crossed, and, in true Winchester fashion, misunderstandings ensue when they both examine what they each want the rest of their life to be. And who they want that life to be with.For one brother, something has to change.Let's bridge the gap between 15x19 and 15x20 in the evolution of Sam and Dean's relationship.Warnings: Suicidal thoughts, Canon-level gore and violenceVisually enticing scenes or details for artist: Sam and Dean outside Rufus' cabin on the hood of the impala, peacefully drinking a couple beers. Finally taking their 'we time' seriously. Any additional information you might want artists to know: There are other more visually enticing scenes I have in mind, but they would give away massive spoilers if I included them in something being made public. If you decide to pick my fic, I can describe them to you if you'd like for more options. FIC009Title: Air & running waterRating: Teen and Up Audiences (for violence)Word count: 5-6k approx.Background Ship(s): None, although a male character does display an interest in Dean that Dean exploits in order to gather information.Summary: Mid-season 2. In Pierce County, Nebraska, Sam and Dean investigate the latest in a string of animal attacks. Thereās a ripped-up corpse with a mysterious mark on its wrist and an ivy-covered cottage on the edge of town. Thereās a locus amoenus and a subtle enchantment. There might even be sharing and caring.Warnings: NoneVisually enticing scenes or details for artist: 1) On the road: Sam opened his eyes for the first time in two hours. The light was blinding; when it settled he saw a landscape glowing under a gigantic sky.āTwo hours ātil town,ā said Dean. āGas, fried food, motel. Non-negotiably in that order.āāBig words,ā said Sam.After sunset, there was an hour of clear, pale half-light until the lights of Plainview, Nebraska appeared in the distance. Sam stretched his legs at the gas station while Dean was at the pump. The air here was nothing like Denver ā it was cold and clear, as cold and clear as the stars above.2) The old cottage on the edge of town: They sneak in, they get caught, the witch questions them and, when she discovers their history, enchants them like a modern-day Calypso. Sheās looking for a way out of a blood pact and she keeps Sam and Dean in a dreamlike state, in which theyāre mildly more suggestible and slowly more willing to discuss monster lore. The fact that theyāre living happily in a witchās house passes them by. Theyāre enchanted and happy. Their psyches, as well as their relationship, which have been under so much stress since John died and Samās powers began to manifest themselves, begin to heal: they show each other affection.3) The witch: The witch isnāt old ā sheās ancient. The brand is her sigil and the killings are the final stage of a blood pact she made in the past FIC010Title: what lastsRating: MWord count: ~15,000Background Ship(s): noneSummary: Not long after they move into the bunker, Dean loses a leg. Most of a leg.

Dean has to lean on Sam for support and they're holding each other in the open passenger-side door while Dean gets his balance.- Sam changing the bandages on Dean's leg in the bunker library. Dean is in an armchair wearing an undershirt and boxers; Sam is crouched in front of him, working on the bandages. The medical supplies are stored on the sideboard where the whiskey decanter sits.- Dean in the hospital, not long after the accident. Very beige/boring/grey. The space where his leg isn't is obvious under the blankets. Sam sleeps in a foldaway cot in his room or in a chair at his bedside. Dean has nightmares and Sam wakes him up carefully, hands on his face, soothing.Any additional information you might want artists to know: Despite the description this isn't a strong woobie!Dean fic. The internal conflicts of s8 -- how to trust each other, their fears that the other brother may want to leave -- are still present, but will be resolved by the end of the fic. The tone is more bittersweet and restrained than melodramatic. FIC011Title: Stuck with YouRating: Teen and up audiences (T)Word count: 16-17kBackground Ship(s): None.Summary: Sam and Dean investigate a haunting in a salt mine, a simple salt ānā burn. Of course, everything goes smoothly. Just kidding. The ghost turns out to be the least of their problems when the brothers both end up hurt and trapped hundreds of feet underground. When a long-overdue conversation about past trauma ensues, Dean finds himself worrying about more than just their physical injuries ā and they both get a chance to set their priorities straight. Early season 11.Warnings: None.Visually enticing scenes or details for artist:1.

The last one standing, like some final twist of fate.There was a whole world out there ā a world theyād fought for ā and Sam didnāt even know what to do with it. He was wilting away alone.At least, until a voice that sounded suspiciously like Deanās tells him, āGet up.ā and he does. He finds an afterwards. He finds his way out.Or, Sam finds a way to move on with his life, with the help of his big brother.Warnings: Off screen character death mentioned. Character's death is canon - method is altered.

He has a presence for Sam, but no body or form. FIC014Title: lost my halo to your renegadeRating: TWord count: Estimated 10kBackground Ship(s): brief Dean/Max BanesSummary: Role Reversal AU. Dean is an angel who fell for loving Sam more than God and turned into a demon, later aiding Max and Alicia (the true vessels) in their equivalent of S3. After spending millennia in Heaven, Sam cuts out his Grace and is reborn as human, where Dean and the twins find him in the equivalent of Anna's Heaven and Hell episode. Sam eventually takes back his Grace and rebels against Heaven to stop the Apocalypse. (Also includes role reversal amongst Heaven and Hell, where Lucifer is the favoured son trusting his Father, and Michael is the firstborn taken for granted and rebels. Canon demons like Ruby and Meg are angels, while angels like Castiel and Anna are demons.)Warnings: NoneVisually enticing scenes or details for artist:- angel/demon wing imagery- screencap redraws- Ruby in this AU is an angel sent to retrieve Sam and convince him to leave Dean, Sam stabs her from behind when she's about to smite Dean and has her wings burned into his skin as the sign of his concrete betrayal of Heaven, choosing Dean- Sam being like "I know you, don't I?" because Dean initially refuses to admit he recognises Sam, whereas Sam has very intense deja vu about him. FIC015Title: Less Than Dirt.Rating: MWord count: 20k+Background Ship(s): N/ASummary: Dual timeline set both pre-series when the boys are 14/18 and at the end of S1.Sam and Dean reunite with John and struggle to continue hunting as a family unit while withholding Samās psychic visions and passing them off as migraines. John brings them to a pair of hunters heād worked with during his absence, not knowing that Sam and Dean know exactly who they are.Several years in the past, some hunters come looking for John Winchester and instead find his teenage sons left alone. They manage to talk Dean into taking Johnās place in their own hunt, which Dean agrees to do in spite of Sam telling him not to. They never tell John about what transpired over the following days.Back with John and the two hunters that ought to be strangers, the brothers canāt keep hold of their secrets, and the family has to deal with past events and Samās psychic abilities at the same time.Warnings: canon-typical violence, referenced intent to sexually assault (no SA occurs or is described)Visually enticing scenes or details for artist: juxtaposition between the boys as teenagers and adults, leans into S1 aestheticsAny additional information you might want artists to know: elements of the pre-series timeline are somewhat loosely inspired by the film Little Birds, while the S1 timeline is altered from canon so that Sam and Dean keep the visions between themselves etc. This story is John-critical. The SA warning is regarding a threat made to one of the boys by another character. For anyone it may concern I do also write wincest stories and I'd hate to make anyone uncomfortable by not mentioning that.
FIC016
Title: Ab-Ć® Hayat (Fountain of Youth)Rating: MWord count: ~5KBackground Ship(s): NoneSummary: "All will be good, he said before putting his whammy on Dean as if Dean would believe him, or any creature really, after Castiel's betrayal."Alternative timeline after 4x21 "When the Levee Breaks."
