Master post for "When the Badger Grows Horns"
I had intended to have this story posted months ago, but other stories and RL interfered. However, it's fairly appropriate to post it today, December 7, since the men who inspired it were the key to winning the war in the Pacific.
Technical note: Due to special character requirements, I've had to code these pages to appear in one of three unicode fonts. If your computer happens not to have these fonts, your default font (such as Arial or Helvetica) ought to have most of the characters, with the exception of the combining ogonek; so if you see a random box next to an accented vowel, know that it's supposed to be a hook under the vowel instead.
This story was written for the dark_agenda Racebending Revenge Challenge on Dreamwidth. There are much longer and more detailed notes following the epilogue, but I thought I ought to warn up front about potentially offensive language about minorities-none of the big bads, but irksome at best-and characters expressing opinions about minorities that I, the author, do not share. Also, the character deaths and relationships portrayed align with canon. There are some very oblique references to Season 6, most of which were unintentional, but no real spoilers past 5.22.
Many thanks to my very kind beta kcrenegade-you’ve helped me immeasurably!
For this fic, the part of John Winchester will be played by Ray Tracey.
