Title: Take Me Home
Summary: The Trickster decides to have some fun with Sam. Wackiness ensues, with a healthy helping of whump, because it's me and I can't leave the boys intact.
Spoilers: All aired episodes up to 5.10
Word Count: 1,946 for this chapter
Disclaimer: Luckily for them, I own nothing. Otherwise they'd be in for a world of hurt.
Warning: Utter crack. Language that is definitely not workplace-appropriate.
Neurotic Authorial Disclaimer: No beta, written in such a hurry I'm amazed my fingers managed to connect with the keyboard.
Neurotic Authorial Disclaimer #2:I take NO responsibility for this, because it's cracktastic and weird and I can't believe it came out of of my brain. If you are scarred for life after reading it, it's NOT my fault!
Neurotic Authorial Disclaimer #3: It's basically "Lassie Come-Home," Winchester-style. I dunno. STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!

Master Post

Part 19

I know you folks missed Dean, but I'm making up for it now. With bonus other characters! ;) We'll be getting back to Jerry and Sam tomorrow.

:::Authorial wibbling about a challenge below. Not BigBang.:::

I'm re-reading the fic I started in November (or maybe early December) for the [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time challenge, and it really, really shows that I didn't know the Show that well at the time. Ack. Holy shit.

I have come to the conclusion that it's not salvageable in its current state. Having looked at it with a fresh eye, I can see what I was aiming for, and I totally missed. By a country mile. Which pisses me off, because there are 13,000 words there that I'm essentially flushing down the toilet. But the fic is meandering, doesn't have a clear structure, and while I love the OCs I introduced, it's all... really freaking disjointed and not workable.

It's not the end of the world. I will go back, look at the prompt, come up with something more useful to do with it.

On the plus side, the challenge is for a minimum of 2,500 words. I can totally do that. I think I might try to make this an exercise in concision for me (I have trouble keeping anything I write under 3,000 words: it's a curse).

I'm considering an AU in which Sam doesn't kill Alistair, because that scene pissed me off from a narrative perspective: WHERE IS DEAN'S CLOSURE? WHERE?!? Maybe a series of short(ish) stories about Alistair stalking Dean until things come to a head. In the meantime, I'll write the one prompt, and see where it takes me.
