SPN/J1 Big Bang '11 : New Wings For Icarus
Title: New Wings for Icarus
Story By: revenant_scribe
Art By: sillie82
Genre: Slash | Wincest | semi-AU | Film Adaptation
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: R
Status: Complete | Word Count: 42,063
Written for HC_Bingo prompt: skeletons in the closet
A/N: This fic was inspired by the film Sleepers, but in retrospect, perhaps has less to do with that than I had ever envisioned. It should also be mentioned that this fic is AU and time line events diverge from S1; Pastor Jim is a Catholic priest.
Warnings: Mentions of abuse of minors, including sexual abuse. This fic also includes lawyer!Sammy, angst-ridden Winchesters, Dean!whumpage, brotherly bonding, brothers inappropriately touching, original characters, abuse of the law (and facts regarding the law), abuse of Minneapolis MN (but unintentionally so), chick flick moments, PTSD, Monte Cristo-style revenge plots, and cold weather.
Summary: The last time Sam saw his brother was back in 2007, they had just killed the demon, their father had just died and they hadn't parted on the best of terms. Four years (and one completed law degree) later, they meet in Minneapolis where Sam is called to defend two clients charged with murder. Two clients that Sam remembers from when he was a kid spending time in Blue Earth; two of his brother's closest friends. The more Sam speaks to his clients, the more he begins to suspect that the motive for the crime lies somewhere in their past; a past they shared with Dean.

Special Thanks to...
silvrhuntress for keeping an eye on me when this fic was in its nascent stages and I was questioning just about everything; for her awesome help working out some of the plot points, for her encouragement and also for making my grammar better resemble that of the English language (I really have no excuse as to why it wouldn't ^_^;;;). Also to sonnygrl11, for the beta work, which sometimes involved sleuthing for lost words, and for being a brilliant sounding board and cheerleader, which are just not adequate words to describe the incredible support (happy pre-birthday!). belleweather and beadslut, for giving me really helpful insight and information into a city I have never been to (sorry if I went ahead and abused it anyway), and also, to Google maps, for the opportunity to take daily walks around Minneapolis. sillie82 for granting all my art-y wishes. Last, but certainly not least, thanks must be given to the mods, thehighwaywoman and wendy, for putting together, organizing and encouraging every aspect of this amazing community!
