"Disclaimer: Absolutely no copyright infringement whatsoever is intended from these stories" *November 2020 - I was somehow nudged out of fanfiction-retirement by the SPN S15 finale. What was supposed to be a one-shot turned into 6 chapters, since I took 1600 words just to describe the opening scene. I never was very good with brevity... Once the story was finished I felt satisfied with the ending I wrote for 'my version' of the boys (or as satisfied as I ever am with my own writing..) I really hope anyone read it enjoys my little swan-song. Before we begin I feel compelled to clarify the Dean and Sam you will encounter in my 'Supernatural' stories are the Dean and Sam from series 1-5 and series 10-11. For a decade I struggled to recognise the brotherly relationship I'd loved since the Pilot episode, despite the best efforts of the actors. I became increasingly sad every time I read the newer 'fans' gushing about it being brilliant as it was in later seasons, whilst dismissing Dean and Sam as though they weren't the true heart of the whole thing (or should have been). I was more relieved than disappointed when it finally finished with season 15 since, personally, it felt long overdue. Despite having one or two issues with the finale I did appreciate its focus on the brothers which - for the majority of us - seemed only fitting; it ended as it began. That said, it's also rather poignant there will be no new stories for Dean and Sam to tell. On a more positive note, I would like offer a very big 'Thank You' to anyone who has ever sent me a PM or continues to take the time to leave a review saying they enjoyed one of my stories. I really did/do appreciate it and I have fond memories of the experience and the people who were kind to me. To *STILL* be receiving the occasional review or notification of a story being 'favourited' - so long after I stopped posting - both baffles and delights me and it will never be something I take for granted. I continue to be an avid reader so in lieu of anything new from me, you might like to peruse my 'Favourite Stories' list instead; I always add brilliant, in-character stories I stumble across. I don't usually favour Death fics or non-canon Slash fics, however there will be some containing Slash set in those universes where that relationship *is* canon (for example Alec and Magnus in 'The Mortal Instruments' books/'Shadowhunters' TV series). Below are a few of my favourite universes. You will find excellent stories from most of these fandoms - plus many others not listed - in my 'Favourite Stories' so please do have a browse: TV Good Omens - Loki - Merlin - Person of Interest - Killjoys - Endeavour/Inspector Morse - White Collar - The Last Kingdom - A Discovery of Witches - Sherlock (Not S4...) - Shadowhunters - Supernatural - The Musketeers (Not S3...)

You’re depressed. You’re stuck up. You’re judgmental. When others can’t read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that’s true to who we are." (Sophia Dembling) "It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life." (Terry Pratchett) "Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry." (Terry Pratchett) "Goodness is about what you do. Not what you pray to." (Terry Pratchett) “...inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened” (Terry Pratchett) "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" (Edmund Burke) "The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams. It is alive as dreams are alive, more real than real … for a moment at least … that long magic moment before we wake. Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end. Reality is the strip malls of Burbank, the smokestacks of Cleveland, a parking garage in Newark. Fantasy is the towers of Minas Tirith, the ancient stones of Gormenghast, the halls of Camelot. Fantasy flies on the wings of Icarus, reality on Southwest Airlines. Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true? We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La. They can keep their heaven. When I die, I’d sooner go to Middle Earth." (George R. R. Martin) "Writers aren't exactly people...they're a whole bunch of people trying to be one person." (F. Scott Fitzgerald) "The enemy isn't men, or women, it's bloody stupid people and no one has the right to be stupid" (Terry Pratchett) |
