Dean is kidnapped and tortured by a demon and his acolytes. 18 months later Sam finds Dean but the demon isn't far behind.
This was actually quite a hard story for me to read. The Dean in this story has been tortured to the point of insanity and it was extremely painful to read about him in that condition. But as much of a Dean girl as I am the Sam characterisation in this story is absolutely wonderful. My heart broke for him a 1000 times over. It may be harrowing reading but it's never anything less than compelling. A sequel detailing Dean's recovery is promised.

Prequel to Of Bastard Saints this piece deals with Andrew's back story. The problems that plagued OBS (inconsistent characterisation, plodding pace, contrivances) are all missing in this very entertaining story which left me hungering for more tales about Andrew's upbringing. Here's hoping OBS's inevitable sequel focuses on Sam, Dean and Andrew because Andrew is by far one of the most fascinating original characters I've read in Supernatural fanfic.

Sam/Dean
Apocalypse fic that really gave me the chills. Atmospheric, haunting, tender and somehow quite disturbing. A story that lingers in the memory long after you've read it.

Beautiful, sweet schmoop that would melt the very hardest of hearts.

Sam/Dean
Vivid and evocative piece detailing Sam and Dean taking a moment to get lost in themselves against a backdrop of horror.

Sam/Dean
An atmospheric melancholy piece with Sam searching for answers in the wrong places.

Dean/OFC
Spine tingling, sensuous look at Dean falling apart by increments in New Orleans while Sam is at Stanford. Love the alternate explanation for what happened to Jess - creepy and really rather wonderful.
