Author's Notes:
This Case Story Big Bang gave me the nudge I needed to finish a story that had been sitting as a partially completed draft for a while. It's part of a series I have going over on AO3, Winchester and Sons: The Teen Years. That series uses John Winchester's Journal as a guidepost.
While this story references events in previous installments in the series, as well as parts of the Journal, it is not necessary to read either work in order to understand what's happening here.
