becc_j SUMMARY: Sam and Dean are in Memphis, Illinois, on the hunt for something that's tearing the town's young men apart and leaving their mangled bodies in the woods. What they find is a creature unlike anything they've ever faced, and to make matters worse, they have no idea how to kill it. When it takes one of the Winchesters as its next victim, the other is caught in a battle against both time and ancient forces beyond his control. Sam Winchester will take on the gods themselves if that's what it takes to save his brother.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:
This was written for the
spn_reversebang challenge, and I have to say this has been one of the hardest stories that I've ever written. But it's also been one of the most rewarding.
I have to thank the incomparable, unbelievable
switch842 for the fastest beta turnaround time in human history. And she still caught a hell of a lot of mistakes that I'd made and then missed. Thanks, as always, to
whisper99, who was there for me during the planning stages and early on in the writing, helping me smooth over plotholes that I didn't even realize I was falling into.
I was lucky enough - and believe me when I say that lucky isn't even close to a strong enough word - to choose a prompt by the amazingly talented, awesome and incredible
becc_j, whose art has always been some of my favorite in this fandom. The character that she created in her original sketch, and that she developed over the course of the next few months, is so incredibly beautiful and real that she jumped right off my screen and into my head.
Originally, this fic was intended to be around 9000 words, but
becc_j's art was so inspiring that it ended up almost double that amount. The last three days have been a flurry of writing for me, because the story that I thought I was telling and the story that the art wanted me to tell were so completely different that I couldn't fit them together. In the end, it was
becc_j herself who suggested the right ending to me, and I can honestly say that without her input, this wouldn't be half the story it is.
It's meant to complement the art, to be one possible interpretation of what's happening in
becc_j's jaw-droppingly gorgeous painting, and I sincerely hope it does and is. In the beginning, and in the end, the
spn_reversebang is about the art, not the story that was written to accompany it. This story isn't mine, it's hers. And I can only hope that she thinks the end result is worth all the trouble I've caused her.
becc_j: I cannot thank you enough for your talent, your understanding, your patience, and your vision. But I'll try it anyway. Thank you.
