Author: rei_c
Title: L'Oiseau de feu
Pairings: Sam/Dean, minor Dean/OFC, past Sam/Jess
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: approx. 66K
Summary: The demon makes a deal with Sam and Dean: one mystical creature in exchange for their father. The ensuing quest might take some time, but Winchesters never give up, no matter how tough things get.
Warnings: General spoilers up through 2x17, going AU from there with vague spoilers from 2x21 and 2x22. Incest. Language. Angst. Horror. Schmoop. Amnesia. Dub-con. An overabundance of internal monologuing.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, and any (and all) errors relative to folklore, mythology, geography, demonology, and/or canon spoken of herein are mine and mine alone.
Author’s Notes: My response to a challenge that moveablehistory laid out in this comment. It doesn’t fit the prompts at all, nor is it the story I wanted to write, but I hope she’ll forgive me and accept quest!fic in its stead. Dedicated to her, with thanks to everyone who encouraged, especially wendy, sanyin, and jellybean_slash, who were kind enough to poke at my working draft, and sappylilartpunk, who's been forced to listen to me ramble about this for weeks on end. My gratitude for patience, proofing, and hand-holding goes to Star_dancer54, who worked with the draft as much as I did and who kept me going through all of the ups and downs. The title is taken from Stravinsky's 1910 ballet, L'Oiseau de feu [ info ] [ download the 1919 suite ].
AN2: Also being translated into Chinese by jorily, posted here.
What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.
[...]
We die with the dying:
See, they depart, and we go with them.
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.
--"Little Gidding," Four Quartets, T.S. Eliot
