I'm a long-time fan, with partnership shows being my favorites. I discovered The Sentinel and joined internet fandom in 1997 and figured I'd pretty much keep my internet fandom to just TS. That lasted until I saw the first episode of Supernatural, and felll for the show, hook, line and sinker.

Now, there's always a Supernatural element in my day; I read/write/watch something Supernatural every day. I am by no means a horror fan - I've only seen 4 horror movies and have never read a Stephen King novel - but I love Supernatural. I find the relationship between Sam & Dean, and the Winchester Universe to be fascinating, compelling and addicting - the only must-see TV around.

 

Some of the stories posted here will be my timed-out zine stories. 

Quickie update: Time marches on, and I can hardly believe we're starting season 7 of Supernatural! RL prevents me from a daily dose of Supernatural, but I come pretty close to it;-) Also unbelievable is my double-win at the UnGen Awards. Thank you, thank you!

I've also changed my sig banner, after years of admiring everyone else's changing siglines, LOL.  Chasidern so kindly made this awesome new sig line for me, combining two of my favorite things, Winchesters and stargazing.

Summary:

4.04 Metamorphosis tag.  Sam’s POV.  Sometimes the inner struggles are as devastating as the outer battles when two brothers face off on fundamental differences.  A war was brewing, would it divide the brothers? Oneshot.

Wow, you've put Sam's feelings into very powerful words. Poor Sam, thinking he's doing the right thing, only to find out he's going against both Dean's and God's wishes.  Awesome job! Sue

Author's Response: Hey, Sue!  Thanks so much!  Yes, poor Sam, he does have the best intentions, but as Dean is so apt to point out the road to ruin is paved with good intentions.  Can't wait to see where all this leads.  Later, B.J.

 
Summary: A little oneshot snippet. Sam's alone in the motel room while Dean goes out to snag some food. Dean does some incredulous eyebrow raising when he gets back.

Tag to "In the Beginning" Dean is on his way to Sam, deep in thought...     angsty!Dean, guess it's a sad, sad tag... (so I've been told by Janger, birdie and calUK.... thx for beta-ing! You guys rock!)

If you haven't seen the epi, I strongly advise you DON'T read this as it will be very much spoiling the whole episode...

Wow. This is an awesome look at the inner workings of Dean's mind, heck, at inner Dean, period. You cover a lot of background which flows easily into present-day. And you leave Dean facing a very nasty question, what if destiny can't be changed?

This certainly lays the groundwork for Dean's coming argument with Sam, and explains why it looked so easy for him to belt Sam, twice.

Excellent job!   Sue



Author's Response:

*blushes a deep crimson*

Thanks Sue! And the stars on top, lovely.

The line about destiny sorta reverberated inside my skull for like the whole weekend... I really don't believe in destiny so it had a real impact on me. I believe everyone is shaping his own life. To see that Dean couldn't fight destiny was really tough. And the thought about what destiny's plans for the future might be just made me write this story. I think that there will be some mean things up ahead...

Cheers, Ilka

Hi Mary,

This was a fun read, just the little pick-me-up I needed. But you should've added a tag at the end, Dean comes back and finds his missing anti-possession charm (maybe Sam deliberately hid it?). That way, you're back with canon and both charms are present for JIB.;-) A fun read!    Sue

This was a great addition to the story, loved the magic fingers angle. Sam must've been feeling a little guilty, to give Dean those quarters, huh?  Sue



Author's Response:

Hi there

Thanks, glad you liked.

That's what happens when your watching Houses of the Holy when reading the reviews!!

Yeah Sam caves easily didn't he but he had drugged and tricked his brother so maybe the guilt was weighting a little.

Thanks for a terrific read, and you left the boys back the way they should be, together, ready to face the next supernatural. At first glance, letting Morgan go seems to be more like something Sam would do than Dean, but you showed some of Dean's hidden layers and his decision makes sense.

Sue



Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading Sue! Really glad you enjoyed it and glad you thought his decision made sense, I was hoping I could get across why he did it, so thanks! ^_^

Hi Mary,

Wow, a stunning look into Dean's mind as he gets a glimpse of Sam's powers, as Sam takes down Samhail. Other missing scenes--even the ep itself--have sort of glossed over how powerful Sam IS, now, and he hasn't reached his full potential by a long shot. This also adds meaning to the later scene between Dean and Castiel, when Castiel says he doesn't envy Dean his (upcoming) decisions.   Sue



Author's Response:

Hi Sue

Yep I wanted Sam to be kinda relishing in his power in this without going to OTT. He is really powerful and they are kinda skirting the issue...glad you think I got inside Dean's mind. I had Jensen's face frozen on the PC screen as I was writing this so all kudos go to him.

I think too that Dean's big decisions will be regarding his brother rather than whatever else is happening. I just hope that he won't have to make the one he (and everyone else) fears the most. I would say they wouldn't but this is Mr Kripke!!

Cheers Mary x

Hi Mary,

I liked this! Very solid, flowing conversation between the boys. Sam had a pretty telling argument using how Henriksen used to view them, and that they have killed people-- it wasn't their intention, but it was the result of using the demon-killing knife. And I'm sure Dean was thinking it, even if he didn't come out and say it: absolute power corrupts absolutely. I liked the lighter talk, Dean bemoaning the fact that he didn't get girl angels!   Sue



Author's Response:

Hi Sue

Thanks for the lovely review.  Glad you enjoyed this. Always wanted to use Hendrickson as the basis for Sam's proof that appearances can be deceiving.

Dean's little moment re the angel - Mr Ackles was the soul inspiration for that - the line about coming back as a cheerleader in 4.08 - his face made me think..good job gods didn't send girls and then I had to write it somewhere. So here it is!

Glad you enjoyed, thanks, Mary x

Hi Tree,

Wow, you're back with a bang! This is a great bit of Dean introspection. It leaves me amazed that Dean has held things together as well as he has until now. Poor baby, dealing with that on the inside and acting normal--well, Winchester normal on the outside. Makes me wonder if he's heading for some kind of breaking point?   Awesome job! Sue

 



Author's Response:

Thanks Sue- as I wrote this- I also drew from the fact that Kripke always referred to Dean coming back from Hell as the ultimate POW... while I dont know what that feels like- I've had to do the whole PTSD debriefing stuff before... and its harder than hell to admit when stuff is eating away at your mind...

Thanks again and I'm glad you liked it...

Lyrics fit really well with the story, too.

Author's Response:

Thank you, Sue. I was listening to the song on the way to work one morning, and the more I concentrated on the words, the more I thought I could write a story around it. 

I'm relieved it worked. And yes, I do like to throw a bit of misdirection into the mix. There were tiny little hints that it was Sam - rubbing his right wrist (the one that was broken), and one or two others, but they were subtle. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and reading. And reviewing.
