Dean's Not Fine

Thirsty A Supernatural story by Niki  @SPNHellcat A new entry in the second wave of the #SPNWishList fic and art challenge! Niki responded to what I thought was the toughest prompt of all: "How did the Vampchesters ending come to be?" Imagine taking something so... inconceivable... and making sense of it. And then making the story so utterly chilling. When Niki said she would take this on, I was beyond excited. When I saw the results, I understood why. Enjoy. -- Jennie Sam woke with a start – pushing himself off the grungy floor to a half-sitting position. It was the light that pried his eyes open. And the smell. What was the smell? He looked around, confused to find himself in an old jail cell. Words were scrawled on the walls, and flecks of peeling paint littered the floor. There was no furniture. The only other thing in the room was her. He saw a woman face-down in the corner, and he immediately leaped to her side. He saw a pool of blood underneath her fa...

Teddy's Story A Supernatural story by Carla  @curlybean1 A new entry in the second wave of the #SPNWishList fic and art challenge! Please welcome Carla, a new author, responding to the prompt: "A fic from the POV of the cashier in the store near the bunker, Teddy, with psoriasis." This story does exactly what I want fan fiction to do: It tells a rich, deep story from the beautiful universe that SPN has created for us, but has given us only the barest glimpse of. I loved it so much and couldn't wait to bring it to you!  -- Jennie The first time Teddy saw them walk into the Kwik Trip, he hated them.  From the way they dressed, to the car they drove, to the way they walked -- as if they weren’t afraid of anything and didn’t care what anyone else thought of them -- he hated them. Especially the shorter one. His first interaction with the man -- whom he later learned was named Dean -- made him feel like he was back in high school. The man sauntered in...

No Chicks Allowed A Supernatural story by Milisa  @440MXS_wife A new entry in the second wave of the #SPNWishList fic and art challenge! Please welcome Milisa, a new author, responding to the prompt: "Tales from the Dean Cave."  This one lets you, the reader, become the star of a sweet, romantic tale of misunderstandings and life in the bunker. Enjoy!  -- Jennie Sam and Dean were trying to maneuver a large box down the stairs without breaking its contents. Dean had recently discovered an empty room in the bunker and decided to turn it into his "man cave." At first, you were excited, because he looked so happy, and that's all you’ve ever wanted for him. You’ve had a secret crush on Dean for as long as you can remember, but there's no way you’d ever tell him. You’d pretty much convinced yourself that chances were pretty high that he only thought of you as his best friend, or worse, his little sister. This past week, the “cave” was all Dean c...

Can't Let Go A Supernatural story by Ariana  @arianaspn61497 A new entry in the second wave of the #SPNWishList fic and art challenge! Ariana is on a roll, responding to the prompt: "Dean worrying about leaving Sam and going to Purgatory."  Dean is  trying, but he's still programmed to look out for Sammy, no matter the cost. There are some beautiful turns of phrase in this story as we watch him struggle with that impulse. Plus, some bonus Cas feels. Enjoy!  -- Jennie Dean stares at Cas while his thoughts spin around in his head.  Can he really leave this Earth with Sam in trouble at the hands of Chuck?  Cas is right -- it is really important to get the ingredients for the spell. But for his whole life, Dean has gone after Sam.   His first memories are of his brother. The little baby who cooed and smiled at him. Sam would reach out his chubby fingers to wrap them around Dean’s finger.  The first time Sammy cooed at...

Shine A Supernatural story by Jennie  @DeanIsntFine Here's my entry in the second wave of the #SPNWishList fic and art challenge! I responded to the prompt: "Dean's inner monologue during the tap dance." I had the weirdest dream. In it, J2 were doing an old-style livestream, but just for me, and they were close to the screen, saying, "It's a courtship, Jennie. A COURTSHIP." Suddenly, I understood. Pays to let your subconscious chew on these things, doesn't it? Our dreams can be powerful things. -- Jennie Edits by Sandi @lemondropsonice He whirled around the empty library, wings on his feet. Garth had shown him how it was done, then he was gone. And this act had become a solo. The freedom... it was exhilarating. Hard to know the true weight of a burden until it’s been left behind. There it stood, in the corner. A new partner. He grabbed the lamp, and tipped it in a gentle caress. Why, hello, my dear. I didn’t see you ther...

Bela's Back in Town A Supernatural story by Doris  @doris_helmick The latest -- but not the last? -- entry in the #SPNWishList fic and art challenge! Doris responded to the prompt: "Bela, now a demon, back on Earth." The voice! The characterization! The ending! It's all dead-on.  I know you'll enjoy it!  -- Jennie Consciousness hit like a roundhouse punch, awareness slowly creeping in through the fog. “Bloody hell!” Bela Talbot surveyed her surroundings, and attire. “Could be worse.” With trepidation, she rose slowly from the floor, approached the mirror, and allowed one chocolate-brown eye to open. "Well, would you look at that? Gorgeous as ever, if I do say so myself.” Executing a perfect model’s spin, she takes a fraction of a second to admire the vibrant young woman staring back at her, before stumbling back and landing on her perfect model’s ass. Her eyes blink to black, shattering any possibility that she’s emerged from a nightma...

Sam and Chuck's Rubber Band A Supernatural story by Ariana  @arianaspn61497 One more entry in the #SPNWishList fic and art challenge! One wasn't enough for Ariana! She  responded to the prompt: "Sam and Chuck's wounds (and their link)." This story even dips a toe into the strange, cosmic relationship between Chuck and Amara. If you ask me, it's the key to everything. Enjoy!  -- Jennie GIF by Canon SPN GIFs on Tumblr Sam sits up in bed, his body covered in sweat, with a pounding headache.  He has not been sleeping well at all lately. He keeps having horrible nightmares. In them, Sam is killing Dean or Dean is killing Sam.  It is the very thing neither brother has ever wanted. They have fought against it for so long.  Could it be Sam’s depressed brain going over the worst scenarios as the world falls apart around them? Sam gets up and walks to his sink, splashing cold water on his face. He looks in the mirror at the bags under his eye...
