Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] roque_clasique

I haven't done a meme in a while, and maybe this will inspire me to write again:

Pick one of my fics, and I'll give you a detail that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My choice, but if you have a specific question you can ask it in your request.

Nihil Inherit, pretty please?

The first attempt at that draft had alternating POVs between Dean and Sam, and would likely have had other POVs as well from canon characters and maybe some OCs, until I realized that the story worked much better told only from Sam's POV. Having him as an unreliable narrator —constantly missing pieces of the puzzle, but with a better understanding of what was happening than anyone aside maybe from Cas— was a great way to deliver information in drips and drabs to the reader.
