I'm having oneof those weeks where I'm buried in crap paperwork. This is my excuse for blatantly stealing the text of the ever-eloquent
baylorsr's rec for
liptonrm's ridiculously awesome Big Bang story, which she posted yesterday.

Just Another Gin Joint, by
liptonrm, for
spn_j2_bigbang. A Casablanca riff featuring Dean as Rick, Sam as Ilsa (but not like that), Hendrickson as Renault, and the Roadhouse as Rick's. John, not Dean, got Sam from Stanford after Jess' death, and the two of them have been on the run, leading the underground resistance to the demons who have taken over the highest levels of U.S. government. In the meantime, Dean has been festering in inactivity, doing grunt work at the Roadhouse and trying to ignore what's going on around him. But of all the gin joints in all the world, Sam has to come walking into his.
And I add that when I beta'd this, I wanted for a sequel.
liptonrm added an epilogue that makes me yearn for that sequel. I ache, I tell you, for more of the universe and character interactions she's created.
Go! Read! Enjoy! Comment!
