The Road Less Traveled By (PG)

[ramblin_rosie]

Had two insistent AU plotbunnies. Yesterday's was one. Today's is the other. Warning for a couple of canon-ish character deaths (nothing graphic).

Summary: What if the Winchesters' lives weren't the subject of a horror series?

This is so absolutely cool!!! I'm grinning like a loon, lol, for several reasons. :D

Samuel Campbell joins the CIA shortly after its founding in 1947. Civilian life is boring, but he doesn’t want to go back to the Army, and he doesn’t particularly want to follow in his father’s footsteps by joining the FBI.

LOL! Now I'm totally picturing him - or his father - as Skinner from X-files.

For all Dean’s strength of will and flair for mischief, he’s very much what Dr. Dobson calls a compliant child-eager to help, to please, to protect. Sammy, on the other hand, is decidedly a strong-willed child. He’s sweet and loving, but he never meets a boundary he won’t push or a rule he won’t question.

So very true!

Dean gives his heart to Jesus on the last day and decides Dad doesn’t have to know.

Oh, I love it, I love it, I love it!

For God is in His heaven, and all is right with the world.

Amen! *is content* :D

Thank you, thank you! :) I've been trying for a while to figure out how the story would go if the mythology were theologically sound, and this is what finally came out. So glad you enjoyed!

That was BEAUTIFUL. I loved it all - the idea that no deals were made and they weren't some pawns on a chess board being moved around to serve the wills of the angels and demons. Thank you sooo much for sharing.

I love it!

For God is in His heaven, and all is right with the world. Oh, just perfect!

[ramblin_rosie]

YAY! :)

What a beautiful and idyllic life for the Winchesters. Delightful!

[ramblin_rosie]

Thank you! :)

I really really loved this! I've also wondered what their story would be like if the theology was sound... How much more trouble is created for our boys by the fact that it isn't :-(
Thanks for creating a happy story for them! I loved the idea of Dean arguing theology on the internet and being a Bible study leader, and Sam going into missions in India - real life supernatural warriors :-)

Oh, I know--so many of their troubles come from the whole framework of their world being out of whack! So frustrating.
Thanks for reading! Glad you enjoyed! :)
