Fun Facts!

Shadows and Reflections took one week to write.

By comparison, Taken took over four months. Four long, painful months. I blame John Winchester and being ornery.

Of course, it’s been two months of trying to write my current story and all I’ve ended up doing is ripping up the two chapters that I had finished. But now I have an idea and I’m curling up in my room on Halloween to at least put the intro together that’s now kicking around in my head.

Lucky for Dean, he’s quite a bit older for Sam. He’d been living on his own for a few years when Sam caught him, and wouldn’t see Walt or Mallory right after his capture. They’d find out when he wanted to approach them with it… which with Dean, could be at any time. He’d wait long enough to be sure Sam wasn’t a threat to anyone, then go talk to them.

Sam and Walt tend to explode at each other, Dean and Walt have a mutual respect for each other. So the dynamics of the family is a lot different in either universe

Yep, he can get possessed, but luckily he has a secret weapon. Since, yeah, he’d definitely too small for a tattoo. Before leaving the motel in Schism, Walt gave both brothers a ring with an anti-possession symbol burned into it. So Sam and Dean, so long as they wear the leather rings, can’t be possessed.

Of course! That little metaphysical ball of smoke knows no bounds and takes no prisoners! It’s time to be the big one for once and raise some mayhem.

Now just think of those exorcisms.

Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate servirete rogamus, audi nos! 

*Person coughs up tiny puff of smoke*

“Did you get it all? Do we need to say it again?”

*Tosses holy water on the befuddled person*

Ask away at any time! I don’t mind 🙂

Currently, the running count is at 258k words as of the end of The Schism of Fire and Water. If at any time you’re interested in how many words are in the series as a whole or any of the specific stories, visit this page. I adore AO3 because not only does it let you group stories together in a series (the spark that ignited my idea to turn my Brothers Apart story into a series instead of a one shot) it also does not count notes in that word count like fanfiction does, and it’s friendly to guest users so that they can review and give kudos without needing to register!

Unpublished works are probably over 120k at this point… which is good because it’s been about two months since I was last able to write for the series. But I think I’ve got plans for what I want to do next… wish me luck!

Pizza and Hexbags is definitely one of my favorite shorts, but I can’t lay claim to the wonderful storyline or bitty Oscar. (Oz is just the cutest) They belong to my good friend @neonthewrite

If you want to see more of him (or any of her other wonderful OCs like Bowman, Jacob, Colfax to name a few…), I’d recommend sending her a prompt, because right now she has them open! She is also running a poll on her deviantart page to see what people want her to write next, so if you are interested in another story featuring bitty Oz, make sure to vote for the ittiest cutie! I know I did :3

Maybe. Or maybe if one of Sam’s people makes a deal or just plain goes to hell, they become demons too, so you have itty bitty black smoke clouds looking for a host.

And angels do not have a problem with any size host. When you’re the size of the Chrysler building, a few more feet won’t hurt to smoosh into.

Reincarnation and Rebirth

After Ilyana passed away and was reborn in the fires of the volcano, Elenia was given life. Unlike any other fire sprite before her, Elenia is gifted with the magic of the water sprites, given to her by Nixie during the rebirth cycle. Because of this her coloration and temperment is far different than any other fire sprite. While they are easy to provoke and quick to anger, she mirrors her water sprite sisters, keeping a cool head in any situation.

Noonia, the fire drake that Ilyana loved so much, had taken it upon herself to follow Elenia wherever she goes. If it’s up to Noonia, her best friend will not get herself into trouble alone, no matter what.

Regardless of what the future holds, these two will always be found together, and Elenia will keep that flos vitae of hers safe.

I’m hoping soon. The reason they’ve been closed longer than expected is because my work recently started a new coding system, and it has been high stress with all of the systems having issues with this. I haven’t actually had time to write the next story of BA, so prompts got pushed to the back until I can get back into the swing of BA. Fingers crossed!
