Rating: NC-17

Title: Cradle Broken Glass [SPN Gen]
Words: ~800
Summary: Sam had seen a lot of shit in his life, including his brother dying for the umpteenth time and rising back up with resilience. But it's the thing he misses that will be the most trouble. Alternate Ending to "Do You Believe in Miracles?" and thus spoilers to the final moments of 9.23.
Notes: Title from Pearl Jam's "Black". Within 24 hours, I was spoiled on what happens in those last moments, so when I finally watched the finale last night, it felt extremely uneventful. I wish it would've gone something more like this ...

( And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything )

OMG WHAT WHAT WHAT.

( NO MORE WIRE HANGERS or where Amy freaks out about Show )

IN SHORT: SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. ILU. ♥

Title: Letters From a Demon
Words: 800ish
Rating/Warning: R for quickie violence and evil images, I guess?
Summary: Crowley has his own tradition for the holidays. Writing his contracts letters.
Notes: SPN Gen, set Christmas of 2009. For breakinporcelan who not only deserves this after guessing (so long ago) how long it took to put up my Christmas tree, but also because she was my favoritest smoking buddy through all of Chicon, and one of my favorite people to have met that weekend. Our hilarious laughter all weekend was definitely a highlight! &hearts

Also! No offense to those who have any care for the two celebs I mention here. It's all in fun!



( The long, dangling strand of Christmas lights flickerss to life )

After the xmas/NYE fic poll, I'd decided to try to write them all, because they were all fun and good ideas, but I've fallen flat on that thanks to stress, work, and sleep deprivation (which, yes, gives me more hours in the day, just makes me delirious and obnoxious and unable to focus on happy!Christmas stories). Add on the fact that I'm traveling for work this week and anticipate extremely long hours from now until Christmas and I won't be able to make my goal :-\

And I'm not sure if I'll even hit the 'post one a week' thing, because any free time I've had to write the last few days has been dedicated to my spn_j2_xmas fic, which is getting wildly out of control. 7K and I'm not even sure if that's halfway through the story. Christ. This is what I get for not planning/plotting fics out and just writing flying by the seat of my pants. And really, I'm not sure how much I'll be around between now and Christmas :(

However, in between working on a Sunday, packing for my trip, and writing a lil, I made time to watch the ep again and ...

Title: After All It Was You and Me
Words: 1,840
Rating/Warning: R/language
Summary: Sam's falling, when he's not tortured, until a hand reaches out.
NotesL 5.22 coda, so all those spoilers pertain to this. I wrote this soon after the one or two Dean-centric codas, back in May, then thought I lost it. Finally! I think it kind of works as a companion to 6.01 in a way, almost explaining bits of that ep? IDK. You tell me. And HUGE thanks to standing_fic for reading through this and giving me bits to work through <333

( There was falling. )

Title: Can We Pretend?
Words: 800ish
Warning: Kids in the form of Ben
Summary: When Dean's by himself, he counts stars; one time Ben joins him.
Notes: IDEK but this came to me from listening to B.O.B.'s "Airplanes" and people (you know who you are) said I had to write this :-P Thanks to standing_fic for a quick look.

( Fade to the Darkness )

SO I tried to write a Sam-centric coda and it got weird. Then I was like 'oh, hey, let's write more of Dean with kids?' FML.

Doing Your Best to Get By
Um, is this really a verse? I kind of want it to be XD
