Summary: San Francisco, 1924. Five years after the worst day of his life, Sam Winchester's still hustling for a living, still searching for his missing brother, and on the track of a story so big it might just break him.
Notes: please be aware that this particular story takes a jaundiced view of certain religious concepts, necessarily contains period-specific instances of racism and homophobia, and illustrates an unsympathetic portrait of Castiel.
Warning: major character death, Castiel.
Art: mementis, posted here. It's... people, it's perfect. Nothing else to say. Just look at it.

Thanks: to everyone who discussed cults with me at the start of this story, riyku, tazlet, unovis_lj. For incredible beta work evitably, riyku and shoofus: words aren't enough. For encouragement, q_i: for the road trip that sparked this story, unovis_lj. And especially to wendy and thehighwaywoman, for spn_j2_bigbang.
For the art, mementis.
Thank you.
I’m severely disappointed that I didn't get to use the words pecker or jelly roll in this story. But it has its moments, and honestly, if you do nothing else, have a look at mementis' art - it truly is gorgeous.
