The Muse is snoozing again today, but we thought a little holiday rerun might be in order, in this time of Holiday Decorations Everywhere You Look.  Some of which are beautifully done, and others of the "I'm sorry, but what were you thinking??" variety ( Read more... )

( Violation )

Another look back for you: one of my earliest fics, and the first one featuring Bobby, when he was still awesome and hadn't yet fallen victim to Whiny Princess Syndrome.

Sometime in 1992, after Sam found John's journal and put most of the pieces together.  When Dean's duties have just (barely) begun to shift from Taking Care of Sammy and cleaning ( Read more... )

( That Old-Time Rock and Roll )

I know, I know: you're waiting for Part 2 of Bay.  (Or maybe not.)  It's in the works, half done or so.  In the meantime... yes, it's summer rerun time again.

August 1994 in Chicago -- hot, humid and depressing.  Nurse Carol Hathaway is on her way home from a 12-hour barrage of stabbings, gunshots, fistfights, heat stroke, and lawn mower accidents, ( Read more... )

As I said: there's nothing the Muse likes better than a long weekend.  So let's join the boys, out in the woods in the middle of a snowstorm, fresh from killing a nasty, hairy sumbitch that's a lot more trouble dead than it was alive.

There are small miracles, Sam thinks, and this is one of them: that they're stuck up here until the storm dies down ( Read more... )

summer_sam_love offered a challenge: a Sam-centric story featuring either Easter or April Fool's Day.  I've already tackled Easter, so here's the flip side.  Sam (age almost-12), Dean (age 16), a radio contest, and a lack of attention to the rules.

Remember this little series?  I started it last year: a series of outsider POVs of John and the boys during their visits to a small town, seven years apart, in pursuit of ... something that shouldn't be there.  This one springs from something that happens to me now and then during the summer, when the windows are open.  You wake up, and you think ( Read more... )

It's a quiet morning, so there's some new Easter fic after all.  Whichever way you celebrate (even if it's just by enjoying a nice weekend), I hope all is well.  And that this brings a smile.

The last time Dean saw that expression on Sam's face was during The Great Flood of '92.  The time Sam claimed he knew how to fix a toilet because he'd seen ( Read more... )
