Summary. This is an alternate take on season 4:

Dean's gone to Hell, and Hell's come to Earth. After the apocalypse, Sam is the leader of some of the last remaining people who are continually caught in a struggle against the demons that walk amongst them. Castiel, burdened by a terrible secret, has gone into hiding among the humans. One day, four years after his deal was up, a battered Dean returns from Hell at the same time that suspicions begin that there is a mole in the camp. While Sam and Dean are too broken to find the courage to believe in the reality of what has happened, rumors of treason spread quickly across the camp. With the tension nearing a breaking point, Sam is suddenly faced with the possibility that his brother, who he once thought was gone to him forever, has returned and is bringing Hell with him.


Author's Notes: A big, big thank you goes out to ewanspotter who helped me with plotting and fleshing the story out back when it was no more than a vague idea and some half-forgotten scribbles in my note book. Thank you for all the support and hand-holding, hon. An equally big thank you goes to my wonderful beta pixel_0 who, as always, did an amazing job in fine-tuning this story and polishing it up, and who found the time for last-minute betas and consultations even though she was really busy with things herself. Thanks so much, Pix. And finally, much love to my dear animotus for the effort, thoughts and passion that went into making the artwork for this story. You're a star, hon, and I hope you know that.

Also, I made no soundtrack for the story but if I did, it would only be songs from Johnny Cash's "American Recordings" albums...

Her artwork is so stunning that I actually tweaked the layout of my LJ a bit so the divider would look nicer. That's how amazing animotus is.

Just returned home from my second viewing of Star Trek. Still love it like heck, even if as per usual UCI began with airing the dubbed version until people complained and they switched to English. *sigh* They'll never learn. Also, it amuses me muchly that both times me and my friends formed the core of Nerd Central in the respective theatre. Seriously, where were all the Trekkers? ( ETA: Something My Brother Pointed Out )

In other news, my Big Bang posting date is July 15th.

Also, said UCI movie theatre will actually show My Bloody Valentine 3-D. I saw posters! OMG! Too bad that they'll probably show the dubbed version which, nah.

I saw this at benitle and thought it was a neat idea. Now that all fics have been claimed and the authors and artists have been revealed, here's a short summary of the story I've been been working on for spn_j2_bigbang this year.

Title: And Hell Followed With Him

Alternate take on season four:

Just after Dean's year is up and Dean is sent to Hell, the apocalypse wrecks the land, and only a few people survive. Sam unwillingly becomes their leader, turning into someone he never wanted to be. The story opens four years later, when Dean suddenly finds himself waking up on a dark and deserted road. He is found by Michael and Bobby, who take Dean to the refugee camp where the last of mankind gathers around Sam.

Sam refuses to believe that his brother has returned, and suspects it to be a trick of Lilith. After having been faced with this new reality and the man Sam has turned into Dean on the other hand, broken and confused, believes that he is still in Hell. Just as the brothers are getting closer again, things take a bad turn. There is a mole in camp, and signs point towards Dean. The situation escalates, leaving Sam not knowing whom and what to believe anymore.

Features guest appearances by a certain angel who has gone into hiding among the humans, and fears his true identity might be exposed.

Also, I still can't believe my luck that animotus of all people picked my prompt. Eee!

Summary. Sam watched his only brother die and fall into Hell. Even though he managed to save Dean from Hell, Sam still hasn't been able to forgive himself for the nightmare he put his brother through. Now, when Dean is abducted and returns with new abilities that threaten to kill him once more, Sam learns that his powers he thought died with the demon may be the only thing to save Dean.

Author's Notes: Heartfelt thanks go out to ongiara for hand-holding and having an open ear for my whining and comlaining, and to pixel_0 who never got tired of giving this one beta after the other and even did some last minute stunt-betaing and stunt-brainstorming when I decided to extend the ending a bit...on Wednesday. You made this fic pretty, my dear! Love also goes to mariaalejandra and mata090680. (Also I should mention that I snagged the word document idea from pheebs1 who's posting next week :-) ).

ashlan's wonderful [Art Post] (Go admire it! Kinda spoilery for the end of the fic though, just to warn you :-) )

If you, like me, love fanart you should check out xanseviera over at deviantart. She does Sam and Dean drawings in manga style and it's really good. She also seems to be doing her own SPN manga, from the looks of it. (Just found her site yesterday; I haven't looked at everything yet) Anyway, you should check it out, it's worth it.

I see my flist is getting all excited over BigBang, and that's pretty cool. I'm not due posting until July 11th; I haven't even started editing yet. I'm actually a bit relieved I'm among the last to post, maybe that way everyone will be still drowned in other BigBang fics and mine will kindly get overlooked. Though I'm sure ashlan's art will be stunning.

If I'm tempted to sign up next year, just tell me 'no'. Nothing good ever comes out of it for me ;-)

Randomly - did I ever mention I have a SHINY FICLIST? Or a FIC WEBSITE?. Probably not. I have now :-)

Summary: It would have been John’s birthday next week, and Dean’s a moody wreck. To occupy his brother’s mind Sam digs up a possible haunting in a ghost town in Montana. Sam drags Dean there and finds that apparently his efforts to help his brother only make everything worse. For some reason Sam seems to have picked the worst of all places to go, but Dean won’t tell him why. Also the case turns out more complicated than originally anticipated.

Link to fic >> (He could have blissfully ignored the world out there for a little longer, and he didn’t like the risk of exposing them to the FBI. But Dean was in a bad place and needed help, so in the end Sam decided that it was worth the shot.)

Much love to buffyspazz and embroiderama for the shiny beta work.

(I posted the chapters yesterday already in a private post and revealed them at midnight to avoid spamming my flist too much. This here is a link to the first chapters :-) )
