SPN fiction rec: January Sun (gen)
January Sun by lemanya - features a young Sam and Dean and a lovely original character, December Jones.
from the story:
The house has been empty for as long as December can remember, but not ‘cause it itself is haunted. This town is a ghost town of the living, and no one wants to live here. This is where spectres exist in drawn out memories and glasses of bourbon. This is where people come to drink and smoke and gamble out the last of their days. They don’t come here to have any kind of future. In this town, wives leave their husbands and daughters are left on the front porch with the last birthday presents they’ll ever receive.
But the two boys and their father move a few bags and even fewer boxes through the door of the house across the road, and the house breathes again, light and bright. Beneath December, the varnish fades and the wood sits cold to rot.
