Disclaimer: The characters belong to their creator, the Kripke. Many thanks for the use of them in the playground that is my imagination.
Spoiler: Set in Season 3. It was written prior to the airing of "A Very Supernatural Christmas," so it's rather AU, now. Canon-ish AU, if there is such a thing.
a/n: This story was written in December 2007 when I was still part of the
Supernatural Virtual Seasons team. If you read it before on that site, or in the follow-on zine published by agentwithstyle, I sincerely appreciate it and thank you. Each member of the VS team was asked to contribute a story for a Christmas gift, but the rules did not specify that the stories had to take place in the VS 'verse. At the time, Season 3 had me in its grip, and I chose to write a story that helped me deal with the brother's struggle to breathe around The Deal.
Therefore, you need know nothing about the VS or it's storyline to enjoy this story. I will, at some point (most likely after I finish
Weapon and the Wound and before I start
Desolation Angels) be posting the rest of my VS stories.
I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and I cannot wait to see you in the New Year!!
Siochan leat!
Midnight Clear
