There were a few different inspirations. 

  • First, I always thought Bobby’s pup Rumsfeld should have survived for longer than five seconds. We get to see the pup stretched out on one of the cars in the junkyard during Season 1 Episode 22. We never see if he died or not when Meg arrived, but considering he’s never seen again, most likely after the yelp she killed him.

No Meg, no dead dog. ;w;

  • Second, Sam needs a dog. No matter what world we’re in, canon or AU, Sammy needs a pup. Hence the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

  • Third, once the ideas for the pup started coming, they didn’t stop. It was meant to be.

The water sprites of Aeternum live in the lush jungles of that realm, tending the plants to pass the endless time. The great plains and deserts of the realm surround their home, where the air sprites frolic in the skies. Past the plains lies the great volcano that is home to the fire sprites. Earth sprites, of course, live below all the different lands, tunneling in the warm embrace of the earth.

Believe it or not, that is exactly how I got into Supernatural in the first place! I read two different fics that just made me want to know more about this show I’d heard about (I made the mistake of watching LOST instead back in the day). But A Rare Sense of Humor and Deanzilla just made me want to know these characters better… and two months later I powered through all the way to Season 9 and that’s when I started writing.

And really never stopped. I don’t even think I can stop anymore.

Don’t be ashamed, now we’ve got the same story for getting into the show, just different fics that pulled us in 🙂

You all wanted more of the kid!Sam, and you won’t be waiting much longer! The story of Sam meeting others like him is on its way, and no one has guessed who he’ll be seeing. Tune in on Monday, November 16th and the first chapter of the adorable kiddos fic will be posted on the various sites! ( Deviantart, Fanfiction, Archive of our Own ) It will update from then on every Monday after. Below is a sneak peek from that first chapter:


Is it a mouse?

Dean didn’t want to risk having any unknown animals darting around the room. He slipped quietly off the bed, creeping over towards the wall. He ignored a curious question shot his way from Sam, who was finally taking note of his older brother’s odd behavior.

“Gimme a sec,” Dean muttered over his shoulder.

He saw the movement again, and lunged forward. Two hands slammed around the small animal, trapping it between them. The show was completely forgotten as Dean stood back up, eyes wide as he stared down at his hands.

Did I see what I thought I saw?

“What is it, Dean?” Sam asked, taking a few hesitant steps forward on the uneven surface of the bed.

Just as curious as Sam, Dean cracked open his hands so he could peek inside at what he’d caught. He sucked in a gasp of surprise and slammed them shut, staring back at Sam in dismay.

It was a kid even smaller than Sammy.


Who did Dean just catch? Find out on Monday!
