The World Has Lost its Wonder.
Warnings: violence, strong language, angst-like-whoa, horror, non linear narrative
Author's Notes: I used a couple of prompts- the Richard Siken one, which I thought was beautiful, and the prompt about Dean and reapers. I hope you like this. Thanks, K, for the quick beta!
Summary: Sam and Dean are on a bloody, meandering road-trip post the Darkness. In a murderous world, the only way to get by is murder--and the only way it's going to end is in blood
Weirdly, I hadn't been looking for my gift-fic up till now, because for some obscure reason, I thought it had been posted right near the start. No idea why I thought that, but I suppose it saved me being disappointed up until now, doesn't it!! So it was a lovely surprise to see my name there, and an even better surprise to find my summergen author has written me the perfect fic. It just hits so many of my buttons it's unreal.
Thank you dear Anon. I have a couple of ideas as to who you might be, but as I'm notoriously bad at this guessing game I'll just sit back and wait for the reveals!

A14 news flash & bonus vid - Jensen SANG!
May. 10th, 2015 06:25 amOh lordy, what a day. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is SO fecking attractive!!! And he full on grinned at me over his glasses in my photo op - I think I might have melted. I spent most of the day in a state of nerves and excitement, running from one insanely gorgeous man to another. It was ridiculous. Of course everything was rushed and I was in such a tiz, I can't tell you - a trio photo with JDM, Jensen AND Jared? So much hotness in one room, it's a miracle any of us got out of there alive!
Added to which I got a coffee lounge with the fabulous Sam Smith, the meet and greet chat with everyone but the Js, Misha and Mark (they ran out of time so our table didn't get to see Mark and the others weren't included).
I actually feel the equivalent of jetlagged this morning - I've not eaten much for the last two days (no time!) and sleep is not coming easy for all sorts of reasons - BUT today we get Genevieve as a guest, and I managed to chat to Jim Michaels at the Jason gig last night, and told him everyone was so thrilled she was stepping in after JDM has had to return home to his sick dog, and that she should totally do the J3 stage panel in JDM's place. I reckon they weren't thinking of giving her a stage slot with her being so shy and all, but with Jensen on one side and Jared on the other to look after her? It would be awesomesauce. We'll see!
Now I need to count up my cash to see if I've got money for photos with her today!

So - to the artings. (NB alternate art link on AO3)
This was the original prompt and starting point for the story
I left it completely open as to whether Sam knew what was going on in his hair or not, and how those little critters got there. And what they might be!
This became a divider, but this represents the first time Sam encounters the creatures.
Poor Dean isn't sure what to make of it all...
Some detail from the pics
This idea was blatantly stolen from Harry Potter's Mischief Managed Map...
And the process part:
The original picture of Sam was drawn partly in pencil and partly in PS6, which was a tactical error because I never quite managed to blend the two parts properly. Basically the hair and the critters were in pencil, photographed then added to the rest of Sam in PS. The background is a photo of a Celtic gold-plated disc, from Auvers-sur-Oise, with a texture applied to give it those subtle colours.
The map was constructed from a plan of UIC Campus which I stretched and distorted using GIMP because I haven't worked out how to do that in PS yet, then laid over a texture called papyrus from www.wallpedes.com. I used that one in the jar of creatures divider too, because it it so lovely. I drew the footprints and the scrolls and wrote on those in PS, and I drew the wee dragon in pencil on paper and photographed him to add him to the overall pic. Dean, and the critters in the jars, were drawn in biro on paper then photographed, and the jar was a Soviet mayonnaise jar photo I found on an image search. Ta da!

Got to say, Sam does them better. But I suppose he's had more practice!
So that aside, what else. Donna is ace, I love her so much - how she's trying so desperately to be jolly so people will like her, how she is visibly hurt but hides it, how she's (like Dean) a LOT smarter than she looks, and occasionally she's brave enough to show it. Jody is brilliant and the two of them together were a perfect storm of kickass womanhood combined with comedy and a dash of angst. I REALLY want to see the SPN spin off being the Sheriffs Mills and Hanscum show (going by the writer's spelling for that one). Of course it won't happen because a) women b) middleaged women c) lack of imagination.
Oh another cheering out loud moment - the coroner was that hilarious woman from Stargate who had hiccups and was brilliant. Under used here I thought, but still, made an impact. And of course, the fake badges...

And I laughed when the dumpster ate that bloke.
Musical moments of note - they played the Family theme music not only while Dean and Sam were talking at the end but for Jody and Donna too, and I loved that implication. And of course - The Weight!
