Summary:

After Dean’s father dies, it falls to him to pack up his house. Dean expects to spend a few days drunk, mourning, nostalgic… but John’s house has more inside it than old hunting trophies and shot glasses, and Dean’s about to find out that his father is not quite the man he thought he was.


A trapdoor.

There’s no other word for what Dean’s looking at. It’s thick, heavy wood, with a large, metal ring fastened to one end. It looks like something out of a video game, aside from the dusty old pizza box next to it.

What a fucking trip.

Dean grabs hold of the ring, surprised to see that it lifts easily. He thought it would be heavier. In the movies, secret trapdoors are always really heavy.

He hears the chains again as he lifts the door, and finds himself wanting to mutter “curiouser and curiouser”, like Alice in Wonderland. Maybe he’ll fall inside and be transported to another world.

He doesn’t fall in, but he does make his way down the narrow flight of stairs hidden beneath the door, holding his phone up for light as he goes. The stairs go down a bit longer than an average staircase, and each step makes Dean feel a little more nervous, a little claustrophobic.

When Dean gets to the bottom he spies a light switch which he flips on.

To the left of the stairs, the small part of the basement that actually exists underneath the house, there are many, many locked metal boxes on a shelf. The rest of the room extends behind the house, under the backyard. How did Dean not know this was here? John’s been living here a good fifteen years.

The room goes back far enough that part of it remains in shadows, and it’s from that direction that Dean hears the sound of chains again, this time much clearer than before.

“It’s about time.” The agitated, gravelly voice makes Dean jump out of his fucking skin. Holy fucking shit there’s someone down here. “I’m starving.”

Dean’s afraid to go closer, because who the fuck. “H-hello?” he calls out, embarrassed when his voice fucking cracks like he’s twenty years younger.

The chains shift. “You are not John,” the voice says.

“N-no,” Dean says, looking to see if there’s another light switch.

“Come closer, human.”

Yeah, like that’s not alarming. “No thanks, pal, I’ve seen this movie.” Dean finally locates the second light switch and flicks it on.

There’s a man seated on the floor, beside a pile of books and a flashlight. The chains Dean was hearing… they’re for him. There’s two chains, each attached to a manacle around the man’s wrists. They stretch five feet at most, one end rooted in the cement floor. The man is looking away, one arm blocking the light.

“Very bright, haven’t had light in here in days,” he mutters, sounding annoyed more than anything else.

“What are… who are you?!” Dean all but shouts. “What the hell is this?”

the most disturbing part of knitting with double pointed needles is that it makes a sort of portal from which an otter is emerging… I find it deeply unsettling.

I’ve only ever had socks and mittens appear from the portal. I feel cosmically cheated out of an otter right about now. I need an otter portal. Maybe my needles are defective. 😛

You do have to say the correct incantations… This one was

Talky’s WIPs

Become the Beast Supernatural main series for Cadbury!verse – Sabriel – Really fucking long – Wherein Sam Winchester goes back in time and ends up at Stanford University, four years before Dean comes to get his help finding their dad. Now contains not only cameos but crossovers with other fandoms, and a huge-ass backstory involving tricksters and Loki’s children from Norse mythology. May some god somewhere have mercy on my poor soul.

Sense of the Soul – Harry Potter AU Harry/Ginny Ron/Hermion Ron-centric fic, where Ron goes back in time to try and change the course of the war. He ends up arriving before his first year and things get out of hand quickly. Part of the Cadbury!verse

Here, You Are Home – Avengers Gen-fic. AU following the Battle of New York where the Avengers comes together at Stark Avengers Tower and slowly form into a family. Contains so much angst and feels, I should probably have to buy all of my readers tissues. Distantly part of the Cadbury!verse Now has sequels. T.T

Hold You Close – Supernatural AU following Bring ‘em Back Alive – Sabriel – Sam is captured by a very-much-not-dead Asmodeus following Gabriel’s flight from the bunker. The archangel goes on a hunt to rescue him and bring him home. First part of a slow-moving series called Forever In Your Arms.

Siren’s Lullaby – Supernatural AU written as an AU of @theriverscribe‘s By the Grace of God series (BTGOG). Branches off during Teach Your Children. A dark artifact in the depths of the bunker catches Sam’s attention and traps him in a room, forcing him to live through his worst nightmares while the rest of the flock fight to reach him. 

Phil Coulson Wants A Fucking Raise Avengers comedic one-shot where Tony Stark and Director Fury unexpectedly switch bodies, and Phil Coulson is witness to the “Director” dancing on his desk in a cocktail dress, among other shenanigans. 

Sing Me a Lullaby Supernatural soulmates AU – Sabriel, Destiel – Sam has already heard Gabriel speak the words he has written on one wrist and somehow, somehow the archangel came back. But he cannot bear to hear him speak the words on his other wrist – the last ones his soulmate will ever speak to him, and he refuses to let Gabriel say them. But a rejected soulbound will kill the rejected, and archangels are no exception. 

Engineered Enemies – Avengers AU where the World Security Council recognizes how dangerous Tony Stark is to their control over the Avengers, and so they twist Steve Rogers’ perspective until he realizes that for the good of the world, Tony must be destroyed. 

The Courage to Love – Star Trek 2009 – Starfleet Academy is attacked by an alien seeking revenge and Jim Kirk has to use all of his resources to find his friend Bones and save the academy. 

A Friend In Need – Stark Trek 2009 – a 5 & 1 fic that shows the progression of Jim Kirk and Leonard “Bones” McCoy as they become friends. 

Shadowkissed – The Hobbit AU series – Bilbo Baggins didn’t ignore the call of his Took side and the Company who comes to his door meets a rather different hobbit. This changes things. 

Snakes on a Helicarrier Basically the premise of Snakes on a Plane, but it’s the helicarrier, and Clint’s involved. 

How Familiar the Sky – The Hobbit daemons AU where Bilbo Baggins has a raven daemon. 

Mirrored Shadows Original horror story about a monster that lives inside mirrors and eats children’s souls. Planned NaNoWriMo2019 project.

The Wizard and the Unicorn Original fantasy story about a young baker’s apprentice who is given a magical staff and tasked with saving the prince from assassination.

I’ve so much fewer then everypeep else, but hey, what can I do?

The Time Inbetween  What happens when all your emotions hit you all at once and you just can’t seem to figure out what to do with them?  Dean has always loved his job, and in the past has found great satisfaction in his successful career.. But the past two years have been hard. Having lost his mother and then being laid up after ACL surgery, everything just kept being pushed down until…well until it just couldn’t anymore. So, honestly, when he arrives home after a long emotional night and there is a beautiful black werecat outside his front door, he figures he’s either hit the jackpot or totally lost his mind…

The Meeting Sastiel Witch/Familiar oneshot that I’d love to expand into a fuller story:  

Sam is a senior who, for various reasons, has been pushed to the outskirts of social life at his high school. Cas has just been uprooted by his uncaring family from Illinois near the end of his senior year. Can two outcasts make a new social circle for themselves?

Selkie Plot Bunny  In which John Winchester despises the supernatural after his wife, Mary, is apparently kidnapped and killed by a selkie, which pushes him into the hunting life.  Events through the series happen more or less the way they do in canon, without the interference of Azazel.  During Bad Day at Black Rock (S3 ep03), while exploring John’s storage unit, Sam and Dean come across two mahogany boxes, engraved with their names.  Ever curious, they open the boxes, which, to their surprise, hold baby sized selkie pelts…..

err…I dunno who to tag…sorry I’m bad at these…

King Of The Jungle

hekate1308:

Another Crowley survival story. Enjoy!

Dean hasn’t
told Sam and Cas yet, because he’s pretty sure they’d laugh if he explained he
feels like he’s transforming into a Disney princess.

Not the
falling asleep for a hundred years or the biting into poisoned apple part, but
he’s rather sure that animals have started to try and communicate with him.

Another
reason he hasn’t mentioned it is because… well, if this is a spell or an
attack, it’s a pretty lame one.

First time
it happened, he barely paid attention to the rat hovering near where the body
was found. After all, they were in a pretty grim part of town, so why shouldn’t
there have been rats?

Yes, Juliet needs someone to play with. Aww of course Sam has been taking care of her, cause she’s awesome!!
