The Art of Pulling Pie from Thin Air: Masterpost
Title: The Art of Pulling Pie from Thin Air
Author: poetartist
Artist: vail_kagami
Rating: PG-13 for language, brief torture and general Winchester wumpage
Warnings: brief descriptions of torture, some F-bombs, scattered OC's, general weirdness, crack/angst, not all there!Sam, Pre-pilot AU but spoilers for everything up to season 5.
Word Count: 25,154
Summary: It's been four years since he disappeared from Stanford and Sam is wandering. Oh, he knows who he is, no amnesia involved (anymore), but he's not fully human (he's sure) and with that whole "if you walk out that door, don't you come back" still hanging between him and his family, Sam doesn't think they'll view his new demi-god status any different than college (except there might be more guns involved).
With the vague and mostly frustrating guidance of trickster Coyote, his blunt and sarcastic teacher Fred (female, half-god), alcoholic berries, homicidal non-Winchester hunters, and pie, Sam comes to find that insanity brings the best clarity, and maybe you can go home again.
Notes: For my first ever big bang, I think it went pretty well, even though I was tempted to go about as crazy as Sam most of the time while writing it. I'd like to thank escherzo for being a wonderful beta, who gave me a lot of great pointers and helped the story make sense. And much thanks to vail_kagami for the fantastic artwork, you were a pleasure to work with and it was the easiest collaboration I've ever been part of. This story wouldn't be what it is without either of you, so thank you!
A few other notes: coyotillo berries are, indeed, real. They grow in abundance where I am. They are also extremely poisonous, causing paralysis that will lead to death, and are not in the least alcoholic. Do not eat or mess with them.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except Fred, Taz, and Thomas, and they assure me that is still up for debate.
