Apologies again for the delay, folks, but here at last is the end of this arc! At present, I don't have any other stories planned in this AU--but you know I seldom say never....
Many thanks to my fabulous betas for this series,

kcrenegade and

jennytork!
This story both picks up from the end of ’Akóhájí Doogááł and overlaps the epilogue of When the Badger Grows Horns. There are also a few lines borrowed from "Swan Song," "Exile on Main Street," and "Weekend at Bobby's." And for those of you who prefer PDFs, this one is available here.

Word count: ~8,000
Summary: After Stull, Monster Slayer doesn’t quite know how to carry on without Thousand Books. But maybe this wayward son hasn’t found peace because neither of them is done yet. And Dean does have friends in... odd places.

At long last, the saga continues! This story picks up where Nihighan left off. I plan to post the final installment on Saturday.
Warning for spoilers through “Swan Song” and character deaths (more or less in line with canon for Seasons 1-5). This was written before 8.12 aired, so there’s a reference to a demon that doesn’t square with current canon—but hey, it’s AU anyway! No character bashing, but you may be all the more inclined to shoot certain villains by the end....

ETA: Sorry the posting order's about to get messy--blasted character limit won't let me fix the links on Chapter 2, so I'm about to ~~split it~~ delete the post and try again, since it won't even let me do that. :P

ETA 2: Now available as an unmessy PDF!

Rating: PG-13

Summary: Monster Slayer—the Michael Sword—and Thousand Books—Lucifer’s Vessel—keep pushing this pesky free will thing. But Lilith and Zachariah have a Plan B... and C... and D... because sometimes fate really is what you make it.

Good grief, how did it get to be November already?! o.O Well, in honor of the day, here's one very last piece for this year's

spn_gen_bigbang, picking up where I left off with Bi'ee' Łigai, and with art by

roselani24 (check out her art post here!). Also available as a PDF with art here. And if you're new to this 'verse, there's more backstory in When the Badger Grows Horns, now also available as a PDF.
Many thanks as always to the fastest betas in the West,

jennytork and

For this fic, the part of John Winchester will be played by Ray Tracey.

Summary: John wants safety for his sons at all costs; Sam wants answers after losing Jess and reading Mary's journal; and Dean just wants his family back. But when Thousand Books has a vision that leads the brothers back to Lawrence, it puts them on a collision course between ancient taboos and unexpected discoveries that may leave all three Winchesters wondering whether any of their desires can be fulfilled.

Here's the first of this year's entries for

spn_gen_bigbang Round One, a Dinéchesters mini-bang with art by

amber1960 (check out her art post here!). Many, many thanks to my wonderful betas

jennytork and

kcrenegade!
Also available as a PDF with art here.

Summary: Thousand Books has decided he’s done with the family business. Too bad the family business isn’t done with him.

A/N: This story is the first in a series that’s a sequel to “When the Badger Grows Horns” and that explores what happened to Sam and Dean in the gap between the third chapter and the epilogue. I won’t be touching on every episode, but I did think the gap needed filling. I can’t promise how quickly I’ll be able to continue, but here’s this much for now.

I had intended to have this story posted months ago, but other stories and RL interfered. However, it's fairly appropriate to post it today, December 7, since the men who inspired it were the key to winning the war in the Pacific.

Technical note: Due to special character requirements, I've had to code these pages to appear in one of three unicode fonts. If your computer happens not to have these fonts, your default font (such as Arial or Helvetica) ought to have most of the characters, with the exception of the combining ogonek; so if you see a random box next to an accented vowel, know that it's supposed to be a hook under the vowel instead.

This story was written for the dark_agenda Racebending Revenge Challenge on Dreamwidth. There are much longer and more detailed notes following the epilogue, but I thought I ought to warn up front about potentially offensive language about minorities—none of the big bads, but irksome at best—and characters expressing opinions about minorities that I, the author, do not share. Also, the character deaths and relationships portrayed align with canon. There are some very oblique references to Season 6, most of which were unintentional, but no real spoilers past 5.22.
Many thanks to my very kind beta

kcrenegade—you’ve helped me immeasurably!
