Stranger in Love, masterpost
Fic title: Stranger in Love
Pairing: Sam/Dean (sort of)
Rating: R
Word count: ~25k
Warnings: pre-series, brief torture, minor character death, het
Summary: Dean hadn't expected a call from his brother after two years of silence at Stanford. He certainly hadn't expected to hear that Sam wanted to meet up during summer break. As it turns out, these small wonders were just a harbinger of truly astounding events.
Haunted houses, family reunions, and a pretty waitress... if only it were so simple!
Art: Go see the splendid illustrations and artwork by davincis-girl!

Thanks:
Thank yous go first and foremost to judith-88-g who had been an inexhaustible source of support, helping me out with this story from the very beginning. It was genuine fun working together on this.
I was also lucky enough to have one of the authors I most admire as my beta. It's still surreal to think about it. Many thanks to glovered for her unwavering conviction that this story ought to sound English.
At this point, I don't think I would dare post anything without sending it over to squishykat first. Offering her sharp eye, answering late calls, and mocking my English in the way that makes me laugh out loud and never disheartens - she is my safe net. I honestly couldn't thank her enough. I wish I could.
Kudos and applause to davincis_girl who's ridiculously talented and I consider myself very lucky to have benefited from that. Many thanks for choosing my story and granting it the beautiful art.
Thank yous to wendy and thehighwaywoman for hosting this wonderful fiesta and helping me up when I stumbled on deadlines.
Last but not least, thanks to manius_777 for her delightful enthusiasm!
