Posted in reverse chronological order, which hopefully means the ones at the top of the list are better. :-) Right now it's all Supernatural. Most of this can also be found on
AO3 if you prefer to read it there.
You want to illustrate/translate/podfic/remix/write a sequel or prequel to one of these? Nothing would make me happier. All I ask is that you send me a link when you're done.

Characters: Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester, OFC
Synopsis: A few years ago, several of us plotted out an entire alternate season 12, which would take place on a boat. I wrote one of the stories I pitched, though I changed it due to the original idea being a little too noncon. So here's Sam and Dean and a mysterious woman they find at sea...

Rating: R for language and violence
Characters: Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Castiel

Length: About 3000 words
Rating: PG-13 for language
Characters: Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester, Charlie Bradbury, Castiel
Synopsis: This takes place immediately after 10.18, "Book of the Damned," where the Styne family attacks the Winchesters and Charlie, and Sam stashes the Book of the Damned instead of burning it. Let's pretend that Sam was more seriously injured in the fight with the Stynes than anyone realized. The theme of the 2018
ohsam birthday meme was
Hurt vs. Comfort, in which we were invited to respond to a prompt and write either about the hurt, or the comfort. An anonymous poster made this request: "Gen. Dean hugs Sam hard to hold him in place while someone cauterizes the wound in Sam's back." We were supposed to choose between angst or schmoop; guess which one I chose. Go on, guess.

Season 11 episode tags
- Untitled coda for 11.01, "Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire." - One hundred words about 11.01.
- Untitled coda for 11.02, "Form and Void." - "Yeah, well. A day in the life. What about you? What were your highlights? Or lowlights?"
- Burning out his fuse up here alone - Another tag for 11.02, "Form and Void." You probably shouldn't read it. Because it was written quickly and sloppily and, well. Reasons.
- We've got tonight - Two drabbles for 11.04, "Baby." Two different stories from the POV of two completely different versions of Piper.
- Fall on your knees (oh hear the angel voices) - A little (270 word) coda for 11.09, "O Brother Where Art Thou?"
- All these wounds that I can't get unwound - Dean gets a second, just one second, to think everything's okay. Then he's hurtled from one nightmare into another.
- Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave - It feels like sacrilege to rewrite any part of 11.17, because it was so good. And yet there are things we didn't get to see, and Sam really needed to be hospitalized after all of that, and if I weren't okay with sacrilege, I wouldn't be watching this show anyway. So here's my "Red Meat" tag.
- Ask him how much of your mind, baby - Just a quick ~2300 word AU tag for episodes 11.18 and 11.17 that I couldn't get out of my head so I had to write it down. I read somewhere that 11.18, "Hell's Angel," was originally supposed to come before 11.17, "Red Meat." For the purposes of this fic I'm pretending things did actually happen in that order.
- Teach your children well (their father's hell did slowly go by) - Twenty-seven years later, Jesse and Cesar decide someone needs to keep an eye on the old bisaan burrow, just in case. A tag for 11.19, "The Chitters."
- Untitled tag for 11.22, "We Happy Few" - Sam's conversation with Chuck. Because it's criminal that we didn't get this in 11.22. (Banged out in an hour or so, and it shows, but I had to get it off my chest.)
- Untitled single-sentence tags for 11.23, "Alpha and Omega" - Number one and number two. Pure unspoiled speculation; any spoilers are coincidental.
