Summary: They say those Winchester boys're crazy. Drive around in a big black beast and drink too much and laugh about mean things. They say their daddy's worse, but you never see him. He's just a voice on the other end of the phone or a darker shape in the back seat of their dark car.
They say John Winchester died two years ago.
Reccer's notes: Not sure if comment memes are included in the 'challenge' category, so if I've boofed this up, someone let me know! In the meantime, I really dug this fic. I loves me some dark!boys, outsider POV, and good ol' American Gothic-vibed horror. Short, sweet, deliciously wicked. monicawoe's prose is spare and precise and perfectly unsentimental. And hello, fearsome Winchesters, please and thank you!
[Short excerpt]The thing that couldn't possibly be John Winchester looked at him eagerly with eyes that burned like pitch, and licked its lips.
