Quick beta needed and a research question

Okay, flist! HALP!

1- Is anyone willing to do a quick beta for me? I've been writing a... thing... for the [livejournal.com profile] deancastiel "Secret Angels" fic exchange, and I'm kind of worried that my story is, umm, boring.

I know, I know. It's just that I got three prompts from this lovely person, except that none of them spoke to me and so I picked the likeliest one and I think I'm not doing it justice. So I just need someone to take a look and maybe tell me where I could add some tension or something, anything, so that it doesn't end up being a steaming pile of boring mush.

It's less than 4,000 words, shouldn't be too hard.


2- RESEARCH!

Okay, so let's say that, y'know, theoretically, I crippled a character, and now, theoretically, I want to write a sequel.

My Google Fu sucks and always has. Where are the good places on the internet where I can look up things like long-term pain management, and the after-effects of crucifixion crushing injuries and all that sort of good stuff? Sites that strike a good balance between accuracy and speaking in terms a lay person such as myself can understand.

I'm going to hell. Again.

I figure it'll come in handy in the future, no matter what.

Blind My Eyes

Another one for the Sam-centered h/c comment-fic meme at [livejournal.com profile] ohsam.

Title: Blind My Eyes
Prompt: From a prompt by the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] pkwench: Eye patch Sam! Sam loses one of those pretty eyes and has to cope with altered visual perception and looking like a pirate. Dean is awesome, over protective, angry as hell that this happened to Sam, and a completely amusing little shit. Any season, gen preferred. Original prompt can be found here.
Spoilers: None! This is set in Season 1, between "Bloody Mary" and "Skin."
Word Count: 4,331
Warnings: Violence, bad language, and one reasonably graphic description of Sam losing an eye.
Disclaimer: Written for love and not profit.
Neurotic Authorial Disclaimer: Uh, this was kind of banged together on a whim, because hey, who wouldn't want to put out Sam's eye? *cough* Right. Okay.
Random Author's Note: Title is taken from the Metallica song, "That Was Just Your Life."
