Summary: A month before Sam could accept the free ride to Stanford he was cursed. That curse changed his life forever, he couldn't leave for college and was forced to stay with his family and continue hunting. But, if you ask him, that might not be the worst part about it. -- AU
Notes: So, this is it, this is where my mind has been for the past weeks. This is the first part of what could become a verse but serves as a stand-alone (or mood-setting if you will) for the time being. As usual, this started out with a short scene that confused me a lot and which got longer and longer until I sat down at my laptop and started to write it down. I'm having mixed feelings about posting it, not because I think it's bad or anything, but because I've worked so long on it that I can't tell if I actually got it out the way I wanted to when I started this and that just feels weird.
The biggest THANKS ever goes out to my "twin-sister"
ghostfour . She put sooo much time and effort into this story that I should list her as my co-author (and I would SO do it if I knew she would accept it (sadly she won't)), without her I wouldn't have written it down nor worked up enough courage to actually post it. She doesn't know I'm already posting it, so this is a surprise for her, I hope she enjoys it. I love you, hun, this is for you, I'm dedicating this fic to you and you can't stop me! *evil laugh*
The wonderful banner below was made by the extremely talented
kiscinca . From all the pictures she's ever done for me this one is definitely my favorite, exactly what I wanted. I am so grateful to her for making it.
Update: Since it seems to be the one issue that always comes up the longer I'm working on this story, I want any new reader to know, right from the start, that this is a story/universe that focuses on the relationship between John and Sam (as do most of the stories I'm working on these days). John and Sam. That means Dean is a part of this, but a small part, and however this story will be resolved it won't involve much input from his side, it simply isn't his story. Please keep that in mind if you're starting to read this.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Impala, I don't own Dean, I don't own Sam. Or John. Or Bobby. I do own the idea though and I'm not giving that back!
