Word Count: 15,607
Disclaimer: Playing in CBS' sandbox. No harm intended.
Neurotic Author's Notes I owe a huge debt of gratitude to [livejournal.com profile] thelastcity, who beta'd this creature and beat it into submission with the big Club of Proper Grammar and Syntax. Without her, it would be a much poorer story. Any remaining mistakes are, of course, my own, and should not reflect upon her mad betaing skills, since I poked at it afterward. Also, my apologies if I butchered the Hawaiian in my title. /o\

Characters: Sam, Dean, Lisa, minor OCs
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 3,211
Disclaimer: I want a wee!Dean of my own. Can I have one?
Warnings: None.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: This was written for the latest comment-fic meme at [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time for a prompt by [livejournal.com profile] lunasky3.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: It's been a while since I wrote something in this 'verse, hasn't it? It was nice to revisit it.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: The title is taken from a Tom Stoppard Quote.




Except a Memory of the Smell of Smoke )

Title: Smile Even in the Dark
Summary: A wee coda-type thing to 7.17. Or more like wish fulfilment, IDK.
Characters: Sam/Dean/Cas (ish. It mostly reads like gen.)
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 2,884
Disclaimer: Not mine, never mine. Woe.
Warnings: None. Swearing, maybe?
Neurotic Author's Note #1: Written for [livejournal.com profile] silverbullets, so it's unbeta'd & written fast.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Is it too much to want ALL the cuddles forever? I don't think so.




Smile Even in the Dark )

Title: Save Me From the Dark
Summary: Season 5 AU. After the events of 'The End' Castiel manages to get Dean away from Zachariah, but when Dean returns he finds that nine months have gone by and, more importantly, that Sam has all but disappeared from the face of the planet. When he does find him, he discovers that Sam has been permanently altered during his absence.
Characters: Dean, Sam, OCs, minor appearance by Bobby.
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 9,829
Disclaimer: I'm waiting for the show to end so I can get 'em on sale.
Warnings: Permanent injury. Swearing.
Neurotic Author's Note: Yeah, I'm not sure where this came from, but it wanted to be written. I'm not 100% happy with it, but short of a total re-write I think it's as good as it's going to get.




Save Me From the Dark )

Title: Hello, Goodbye for Now
Summary: Fusion 'verse. Ever wonder what happened to Lisa? So did I.
Characters: Lisa Braeden, Sam, Dean
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 5,612
Disclaimer: You think the producers might let me keep 'em once the show's over if I promise to treat them well?
Warnings: None.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: This is set somewhere between Mock the Midnight Bell and Defying Gravity.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Poor Lisa kind of got short shrift in this 'verse. I thought I would give her a bit of closure. :)




Hello, Goodbye for Now )

Title: The Wide Open World
Summary: Fusion 'verse. It takes Dean a while to figure out that Sam doesn't go outside anymore.
Characters: Dean, Castiel, Sam
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 4,697
Disclaimer: Still not mine, but if you hear of a sale at the CW let me know, okay?
Warnings: descriptions of extreme anxiety/panic attack
Neurotic Author's Note: So this isn't the Fusion story I was planning to write. Remember when I said I keep getting new ideas for the 'verse? Yeah. This is is what happens when I try to write for it. Things keep popping up unexpectedly.

Title: i am never without it
Summary: Dean figures out that Sam was taking him literally. He tries to fix it, in his own way.
Characters: Dean/Sam
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: 7,832
Disclaimer: All property of the CW. Anything you don't recognize might belong to me. ;)
Warnings: consensual adult sibling incest, spoilers up to ep. 7.14.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: This was written for this prompt by [livejournal.com profile] zuben_eschamali at the bottom!Jared Fanworks Fest. I don't know, the prompt kept staring at me, okay?
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Holy crap, but this took forever to write! It was meant to be a throwaway coda to 7.14, but it kind of took on a life of its own. For one thing, the boys kept not having sex. /o\ Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but the meme kind of had the whole sex thing at its core, so I felt I should at least have some porn in there...
Neurotic Author's Note #3: The title is shamelessly cribbed from e. e. cummings' poem 'i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart).'
Neurotic Author's Note #4: The kelpie is totally an hommage to [livejournal.com profile] de_nugis's awesome fic, for those of you who have read it.

Title: Safe in Your Hands
Summary: Fusion 'verse. Castiel begins to recover from his injuries, only to discover something unusual about his relationship with Sam.
Characters: Castiel, Sam, Dean
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 3,462
Disclaimer: None of it is mine.
Warnings: No major warnings.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: So this is the next part after Not the Fall, But the Landing. Alas that it doesn't really explain exactly what happened to Cas, but it's the closest we've come so far. Please don't kill me in my sleep, 'kay? /o\
Neurotic Author's Note #2: One day, I will have filled in all the gaps in this story, but that day appears to be pretty far away. I can't believe I have nearly thirty chapters of this beast written.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: You know, when I started writing this 'verse, it was all about Sam 'n' Dean, and it still is, in most ways. It's just that Cas kind of appeared one day and I kind of want to keep him around, like a stray puppy in a trench coat. I don't know what that says about me.




Safe in Your Hands )

Title: I'll Close Your Eyes So You Can't See
Summary: Dean doesn't know how to go on without Sam, so Death provides him with an alternative.
Characters: Dean, OCs, Sam
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 4,180
Disclaimer: All hail the CW, owner of all recognizable content herein! Or something. Whatever.
Warnings: Show-levels of gore and violence. EDIT: I am stupid and didn't warn for major character death. I SUCK AND I AM SORRY.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: I should be working on my Big Bangs. Or on my exchange fic. But then this plot bunny came to me last night and bit me HARD and would not let go until I wrote it. So, uh, here we go.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I'm honestly not sure why I like reaper!Dean so much as an idea, but I know I'm not the only one. This is my take on it. Not sure it's going to fit in with popular opinion, mind you.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: Unbeta'd, but many thanks must go to [livejournal.com profile] morganoconner who did word wars with me until this thing was completely written. All mistakes, however, are mine and mine alone.
Neurotic Author's Note #4: Title is a lyric from 'Oh Death,' for those of you who didn't recognize it from the show.




I'll Close Your Eyes So You Can't See )

Title: Among Your Friends and Kindred
Summary: Fusion 'verse. It's Christmas day, and nothing bad happens at all. No, really.
Characters: Dean, Sam, Cas, Bobby, OFC, Perry
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 4,590
Disclaimer: They're still not mine. I am determined to give them a happier ending than the show, and maybe that will entice them to come live with me.
Warnings: Swearing, that's about it.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: I thought I'd give the boys a good day, no strings attached. What better day than Christmas, right? I don't think the boys have ever had a really good Christmas on the show... So this is set shortly after God Bless Us, Every One.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Uh, a good day doesn't mean I can't give into my kink for Sam with respiratory issues, right? Right. Totally. *cough*
Neurotic Author's Note #3: As usual with most of my Christmas-themed Fusion stories, this title is taken from a Christmas carol, God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen.




Among Your Friends and Kindred )

Title: Nearly Always Your Own Fault
Summary: Crack AU. Danny has a secret he’s been keeping from Steve from the start, but now that their relationship is progressing, it becomes impossible to keep.

Title: Like A Friendship Caught on Fire
Summary: Danny gets the flu, but after Steve drives him home so he can get some much-needed sleep, his day gets a whole lot worse when his apartment building catches fire. When Danny goes missing in the aftermath, it's up to Steve and the team to find him, their search made all the harder because, well, sometimes Danny is a ferret.

Title: Show Yourself
Summary: When the Five-0 crew are trapped, Danny is forced to reveal his secret in order to get them out of their predicament.

Title: Fear Not That Ye Have Died for Naught
Summary: Fusion 'verse. Mrs. O'Keefe finds that she has more in common with her new neighbours than she thought.
Characters: Sam, OFC, brief appearances by Dean and Bobby
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 3,537
Disclaimer: I still maintain they would be better off with me. Alas, the CW disagrees and won't let me have them.
Warnings: mentions of suicide
Neurotic Author's Note #1: I haven't done an outsider POV for Fusion in a while, and I've been wanting to get into Mrs. O'Keefe's head for a really long time. So this is as much about her as it is about Sam and Dean.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Every time I worry that I might be getting near the end of this 'verse, three more ideas pop into my head. At this rate, I will be writing them for years. It's like the plot bunnies are really trying to live up to their names and reproducing like it's going out of style.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: The title is taken from a poem by Moina Michael called We Shall Keep the Faith, which was a response to the famous poem In Flanders' Fields by John McCrae.

Title: And I Will Sing a Lullaby
Summary: Curtain!fic. It's not raining, and Sam's not sleeping. Dean can fix one of those, at least.
Characters: Dean/Sam
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 3,104
Disclaimer: Still not mine
Warnings: Consensual adult sibling incest, no graphic sexual content though
Neurotic Author's Note #1: A long, long time ago, the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] de_nugis gave me a prompt in her own LJ. It was so long ago that I have, in fact, lost the link. She wanted me to inflict insomnia on one of the boys, and so that's what I did.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: It has been so very long since that prompt, that I am no longer sure this was exactly what was asked. Also, I realize I have been very much leaning Samwards these past few weeks, but that should change in the next little while. Poor Dean's been neglected. ;)
Neurotic Author's Note #3: Unbeta'd, as usual.




And I Will Sing a Lullaby )
ratherastory: (Default)
Title: Days and Counting
Summary: From a prompt by [livejournal.com profile] khakigrrl at the latest [livejournal.com profile] ohsam comment-fic meme which read: Teenchesters, Gen, post-7.04. What with Dean going with Dad on more hunts and Sam having to keep their absence and their work a secret, Sam's getting more lonely and disconnected.
Characters: Sam, brief appearances by Dean and John, OCs
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 5,775
Disclaimer: It still all belongs to the CW
Warnings: No major warnings
Neurotic Author's Note #1: I love this prompt, and I am vaguely worried I didn't do it justice. I kind of wanted to write a quiet little fic in which nothing happens and everything happens, but I'm not sure I succeeded.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I am a little obsessed with how teen!Sam developed all those weird OCD coping mechanisms we see later on in the show. Oops?
Neurotic Author's Note #3: Unbeta'd, read at your own risk.




Days and Counting )

Title: The Cold Fall
Summary: 'After the End' 'verse. Sam and Cas are far away from home in the woods when Sam has a seizure.
Characters: Castiel, Sam
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 2,329
Disclaimer: If they were mine, Sam would spend a lot more time being beaten up than he currently is. I dunno what that says about me. ;)
Warnings: A lot of swearing.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: Written for the [livejournal.com profile] ohsam challenge for a prompt by [livejournal.com profile] 4422shini which read simply "Sam has epilepsy." So that's what this is.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] rainylemons for letting me bounce ideas and more importantly for bouncing them back at me for this.




The Cold Fall )

Title: Making it Work
Summary: Fusion 'verse. Just before his surgery, Dean figures out that he's maybe not coping as well as he thought he was with all of this.
Characters: Sam, Dean, Bobby, others
Rating: PG13
Wordcount: 5,408
Disclaimer: Still not mine, alas.
Warnings: Swearing, angst, the usual.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: It's kind of weird how this turned out sort of like a Season 7 fic, what with Dean drinking and not really coping with stuff, but at least we know it turns out okay, right? Right.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: This is set right after The Here And Now. Same day, actually.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: Unbeta'd, as usual. I am filling in the gaps in the storyline and messing around with the 'verse and having fun. :)

Title: The Only Voice I Hear
Summary: Season 6 AU. Sam's been sick, but they're back on the road now and things can go back to normal. At least, that's what Dean tells himself. But then, he never really counted on his own feelings getting in the way of that.
Characters: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: 10,793
Disclaimer: Not mine. None of it, at all.
Warnings: show-levels of violence, swearing, sex; consensual adult sibling incest.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: This is the Little Fic That Could. It was prompted a million years ago by [livejournal.com profile] rainylemons in a comment-fic meme at [livejournal.com profile] ohsam and I thought I'd take a stab at it. That didn't happen, but then I thought I'd do it for the Sam/Dean minibang last summer. Then my life imploded and it didn't happen. After that I signed up to write it for the [livejournal.com profile] spn_slackers_bb, but ironically that comm appears to be having issues right now. But I had a draft ready, so I decided to post it on my own.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I owe many many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] rainylemons who not only provided the prompt, but also once again served as my personal medical encyclopedia and also beta'd this thing to within an inch of its life. If not for her, this fic would not be in the shape it is now.

Title: Not Just Any Port in a Storm
Summary: Fusion 'verse. Sam isn't the only one with nightmares.
Characters: Dean, Sam
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 2,380
Disclaimer: Still not mine.
Warnings: Swearing, and there's some fairly graphic descriptions of torture toward the beginning. Also, gore.
Neurotic Author's Note #1: This is set right around the same time as Defying Gravity.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Show is frustrating me a little with its hand-waving of the whole Hell-flashbacks-PTSD stuff, for Sam but especially for Dean. I never got the really juicy Dean & Alastair stuff I wanted from Season 4, so I guess this is me writing my own little wish fulfillment fantasy. Sometimes I think Show forgets that Dean went to Hell too.

Title: The Best We Can With What We've Got
Summary: Sam gets sick, and somehow that's the least of their problems.
Characters: Sam, Dean, Bobby, OC
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 6,513
Disclaimer: After the latest PCA fiasco, the networks don't deserve them. Come live with me, Sam and Dean! I will take very good care of you, I promise! ¬_¬
Warnings: Spoilers up to 7.09, but more heavily focused on early Season 7
Neurotic Author's Note #1: This is an attempt at a prompt by the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] vail_kagami for the Sam-focused h/c challenge at [livejournal.com profile] ohsam. The prompt ran thus: Sam got hurt or sick or has another Hell-related breakdown. The Leviathans are on the lookout for them, they are officially-dead serial killers, and so Dean and Bobby deal with it the usual way: The panic room may be gone, but the new place has a basement and that'll do just fine. Eventually they have no other choice but to get a doctor, though - and that doctor is more than shocked to find someone in that state stored in a basement. He's even more shocked when he learns that it's not the first time. I don't really care how it happens, I just want someone to chew Dean and Bobby out for their way of dealing with Sam when he should be in a hospital.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: I'm not super happy with how this turned out, but I think I've been staring at it for so long I've gone cross-eyed and I am no longer able to be objective about it, so I'm just going to post and hope for the best.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: This isn't actually an outsider POV, but there is an OC. That's about as close as I got to the original prompt. /o\

Characters: Dean, Sam, Castiel
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: ~4,400
Disclaimer: None of it is mine. Alas.
Warnings: Show levels of violence, occasional swearing, lots of gore
Neurotic Author's Note #1: What better way to kick off the New Year than with an instalment of the Fusion 'verse, am I right? Right.
Neurotic Author's Note #2: Unbeta'd, as usual. Set between Many Happy Returns and Bless Us, Every One.
Neurotic Author's Note #3: Also, yes, this is my unsubtle way of including moar Cas in my 'verse. ;)
