(no subject)
day two of my week of gratitude / happiness prompted by germaricanmix :
this fic, dust in the wind by lyra_wing. it's gen, a crossover between american gods and supernatural, but you really would only have to know one canon or the other to really get why it's awesome. knowing both, i was blown the fuck away by the premise alone, but then reading it i was hit over and over by the author's sucker punch, perfect supernatural-style humor cut with intense chill-inducing paragraphs like this--
They are the spirit of the wanderer and the pioneer, the soul of America. This impossible country imagined in lofty dreams, built with the sweat and broken backs of the day laborer and the blue-collar man. They stand for the underdog, the few and the brave who will fight for what they believe in, no matter what the odds.
They are the feeling conjured by the sight of an empty highway, leading to some unknown destination beyond the horizon line. That sinking sensation in the pit of the stomach and the thrill in the heart, when the taste of adventure is as palpable as blood on the tongue.
read it. it'll make your day too. :3
