Day 7

In your own space, create a fanwork. A drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. A picspam. Something.

I just did this Wednesday!: "In the Garden of Eden," a fairly short wee!chester metafic from John's POV. It's already gotten some really cool discussion going!

Title: In the Garden of Eden
Author:

Rating: PG
Genre: gen, wee!chesters, angst, emotional hurt no comfort, family feels, metafic
Characters: John, Sam, Dean, Missouri
Word Count: 1,300
Summary: "John told Dean it was about revenge, but it wasn’t really. You didn’t pull your family up by the roots and force your kids to live on scraps, in and out of a new school every year or even every month, expose them to hunters and weaponry and danger, for revenge. You did it because it was the only way to save your son."

Now with amazingly gorgeous art from the supremely talented

Title: Rumpelstiltskin
Author:

Rating: PG, not even any language
Genre: gen, wee!chesters, angst, h/c, 4.03 episode tag, fairy tale, metafic
Characters: John, Dean, Sam, Azazel
Word Count: 2,600
Summary: Sometimes, life is like a fairy tale, at least for the Winchesters--not the happy cartoon movie versions, but the grim original ones, where happy endings are all too rare.

This is a gift for the

spn_j2_xmas exchange for

sophiap.

( He’s sweet. Kind. Even after the war, after everything, he still believes in happily ever after. )

Title: Discipline
Author:

Rating: PG
Genre: gen, teen!chesters, episode tag
Characters: John, Dean, Sam
Word Count: 1,350
Spoilers: for 9.07
Summary: John finds out Dean gambled away his kids' food money and got caught stealing, and decides not to bail him out.

I wrote this fic in response to all the comments I saw saying it was wrong/out-of-character of John not to come get Dean out of the home for boys, but in my opinion, it was perfectly in character ... and maybe even the right choice.

Author:

Rating: PG
Genre: gen, wee!chesters, some humor, emotional h/c, angst, slice of life
Characters: John, Dean, Sam (John's POV)
Word Count: ~4,500
Summary: Sam is four. The title pretty much says it all.

"John saw another little piece of Dean being compressed into a new shape by all the pressure he had to endure. John hoped it was like was coal being forged into a diamond ... but he doubted it. Dean never complained about this. If anything, he seemed to blame himself for not being stronger."

Title: Respect
Author:

brightly_lit
Rating: PG for mild language and mild violence
Genre: gen, angst, h/c, teen!chesters
Characters: teen!Sam, teen!Dean, John, OC hunter
Word Count: ~3,800
Summary: John sends a very unwilling 14-year-old Sam with Phil, one of John's hunter buddies, to help him kill a werewolf. When things don't go as planned, Sam has to rely on himself and what he's been taught to try to pick up the pieces. Sometimes life with Dad and Dean seems pretty great by comparison.

“Jesus, I thought John Winchester’s kids would at least know how to follow my orders. You better stay far away from the danger. I get John Winchester’s kid killed, I’m a dead man.”

Yeah, well, if I let you get killed, I’m dead, Sam thought. Phil could think he was a disobedient little snot if he wanted, but Sam would do whatever it took to follow Dad's order.

Characters: Sam, Dean, John, Lisa briefly
Summary: This is about wee!Sam and teen!Dean and times when their messed-up lives pushed them too far--this is not a feel-good fic.

Dad had had to test them both to make sure the shifter hadn’t replaced one of them with itself. Late that night in their room, 6-year-old Sam had stared at the bandage over where his father had cut his arm with a silver knife, and asked Dean quietly, “Have I been bad?”

Question: Is there a teen!chester community out there I could post this and my other teen!chester story to?

Notes: I've always thought the Winchesters must have been quite something when viewed through the eyes of their classmates and neighbors. This story explores that idea.

Rating: PG-13 for child abuse, language
Characters: Teen Sam and Dean, John
Genre: Angst, comfort
Word Count: 6,000
Disclaimer: Sam and Dean (and John) don't belong to me, sadly.
Spoilers: None--takes place pre-series, when Sam and Dean are teenagers
Summary: Things go from bad to worse in a small Wyoming town until Sam and Dean are stranded in the middle of nowhere in a blizzard, where there's nothing to do but talk about all the things they've never been able to before--things that may be better left unsaid. At least maybe now Dean can try to fix whatever's going so wrong inside Sam that's made him so cold and hostile all these past months, but talking about feelings has never been Dean's forte.

“Jeez, when did you start hating dad so much?” Dean asked, disturbed.

“Around the time I started hating you,” Sam said.
