Characters: Dean, Sam, OC
Word Count: 4,600
Warnings: language, horrific concepts, mentions of child abuse and torture
Summary: Dean needs a new protective sigil tattoo, and he visits the tattoo artist other hunters recommend--the only person in the area who's precise enough for the work. Getting two words in a row out of the guy is hard labor, but undeniably worth it in the end.

Kintsugi is a Japanese method of mending broken pottery with gold, where the pot is considered more beautiful for having been broken.

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.

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.

Title: Shards
Author:

brightly_lit
Crossover: Supernatural/Princess Tutu
Rating: PG for a teeny bit of iffy language
Genre: um ... literary crack!fic? Your guess is as good as mine. Also, teen!chesters, evil!sam, soulless!sam, angst, light romance, high school/boarding school, mystery, hurt/comfort, fairy tale, gen
Characters: Castiel/Princess Tutu-Duck, Sam/Mytho, Dean/Fakir, Ruby/Rue, Bobby/Mr. Cat, Gabriel/Pikae, Balthazar/Liliae, God-Chuck/Drosselmeyer
Word Count: ~10,600
Summary: Sam has lost his soul, and it's up to the angel Castiel to collect the shards and return them to him without letting anyone know what Cas really is ... but Sam's girlfriend Rueby and his brother Dean stand in Cas's way ....

A fairy-tale-esque retelling of how Sam's shattered soul/mind got put back together, based on the plot of Princess Tutu.

Notes:
There is absolutely nothing normal about this fic (just like there's nothing normal about Princess Tutu), but hey, death to normalcy!

And if a show named Princess Tutu sounds lame to you, give it a chance! It is actually awesome. Needless to say, since I am probably just about the only fan of both shows on the planet, readers will be people who like one of these shows who will give this fic a chance.

Princess Tutu and Supernatural are two of my favorite shows ever in the history of the world. Once I started noticing the similarities between the two shows in terms of plot, theme, and character, I couldn't resist writing this rather psychedelic fic. (Many thanks to

septembers_coda for helping me flesh out which characters and plotlines corresponded on each show.) Nonetheless, the differences have prevented me from having to include many, if any, spoilers for either show. Because both shows are so wonderful and similar, I have to recommend each to fans of the other, if Supernatural fans can tolerate ballet and Tutu fans can tolerate horror, weaponry, and lots and lots of dick jokes.

There's no particularly deep reason why Cas is a girl here. Castiel in angel form is genderless, and Princess Tutu/Duck is a girl, so it just made sense. It ended up working well for the story; plus, it's hilarious casting Gabriel and Balthazar as petty teenage girls. ;-)

Wanna try Supernatural? It's not hard to find. Maybe someone will even be kind enough to leave a link in the comments ....

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.
