Stone Heart - a drabble
Sep. 22nd, 2015 08:25 pmStone Heart
***********
Warnings: None
Summary: Season 10 – Sam is haunted by the CCTV footage of Dean’s demon eyes.
***********
In the ancient church, darkness gathers under rounded arches. Blind statues stare.
Stone number one, Sammy, Dean says, pressing fingers deep into Sam’s palm. Sam’s veins light up, magma-bright with the Mark’s pyroclastic flow, moving from Dean to Sam.
Pressure increases, and with a percussive crack, Dean shatters.
Sam falls to his knees, frantic.
How can he find the first stone amongst this rubble?
Sam wakes, wide-eyed and sweating. There’s no subtlety in his nightmare – fear that his brother’s heart has petrified stops him breathing sometimes; the ache in his chest won’t let him rest.
He has to find Dean.

SPN100 Drabble Challenge: word count 100
Challenge word: smart
Warnings: heavily implied wincest
Summary: It’s a co-dependency that hurts, sometimes.
***********
You are a non-Newtonian fluid. Your nature changes when the hammer blow hits your heart; its shell hardens.
But the small things wreck you.
Sam’s fingers trailing soft across your skin; Sam’s lips pressed gently against yours; his breath caressing your unshaven cheek.
Outside the motel sign turns the rain into jewels of light – refraction abstraction attraction…
Everything comes back to Sam and it hurts. You need time to think, you need the violence to protect you, keep you safe.
Close your eyes, Dean.
You know it’s not smart, you know it might kill you, but you close them anyway.

Same old, same old - a drabble

SPN100 Drabble Challenge: word count 100
Challenge word: narrow
Warnings: none
Summary: Never say death means nothing to a Winchester.
Never say death means nothing to a Winchester.
Each time death takes them, the grief and fear is the same. The fact that – so far – it hasn’t been permanent doesn’t matter to their hearts. Each time it’s a knife sliding in, a sucker punch to the gut, the vacuum suction sealing them inside an airlock, stealing their breath.
Each ending hurts. Each parting is worse than the dying itself.
Each time death takes them, the gap between them narrows. Soon there will be nothing between them, not even air – and then Death will never be able to separate them again.
super_disney - The Black Cauldron

Title: The Black Cauldron
Disney Prompt: Um yeah The Black Cauldron!
Pairing/Gen: Gen (or whatever you want to read into it)
Rating: PG
Word Count: N/A
Warnings: None - cuteness?
Summary: I think the picture speaks for itself. Henwen's happy anyhow.
So...um. Here it is.( large pic under the cut )

SPN100 Drabble Challenge: word count 100
Challenge word: squirm
Warnings: F bomb, slight spoiler for S10E11
Summary: Dean promises Charlie he’ll do anything to make up for what he did to her dark side. He’s not expecting to have to LARP as Etrigan the rhyming demon.
***********
“This is stupid. I can’t do this!”
“Dean, it has to rhyme. Come on, you promised. You’re Etrigan while Sam is Dream.”
“Okay, but how come I have to be all yellow and rhyming, while Sam just spikes his hair up…”
Sam and Charlie both stare at him expectantly, and Dean realises he has to find a fucking rhyme now. Dammit!
“…while whining.” Dean grinned. Maybe he could have fun with this LARPing crap after all.
“Very funny, Dean,” Sam pouted.
“Yeah! Gonna make you squirm like a…a…pachyderm!”
Charlie exchanged a look with Sam – perhaps this wasn’t such a good idea after all.
***********
A/N The demon Etrigan and Dream are characters from Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman (and appear in other places). Etrigan speaks in rhyme…

Charlie is My Darling - ficlet
Jan. 11th, 2015 08:19 pmReveals are up over at 
spn_bigpretzel and 
crowleysxmas so now I can post this here - my fic for theymp
Title: Charlie is my Darling
Author:
amberdreams
Recipient:theymp
Characters/pairings: Sam, Dean, Castiel, Charlie, Dorothy
Words: ~2100
Warnings: A few F bombs
Summary: For the Ymp’s prompt - Someone in the bunker unwittingly develops the ability to enter and control the dreams of others - but it takes a while for them to realise that this isn't just a really weird dream of their own. Ok, so technically Charlie isn’t actually in the Bunker any more, but close enough, huh?

Gone Fishing - a drabble
Dec. 17th, 2014 09:30 pmTitle: Gone Fishing
Words: 100
Summary: There's a lake Dean goes sometimes.
There’s a lake where Dean goes sometimes, to think about fishing. He doesn’t actually fish, of course. It’s not buying the right equipment that stops him, it’s the indulgence it would embody. The peace it would bring him. He doesn’t deserve it.
So he stands by the water’s edge, casting a line in his mind’s eye, watching the imaginary ripples spread across the mirror smooth surface.
Sam thinks he goes out to get drunk, so he does that too. After. He doesn’t want to disappoint. If he could, he’d bring Sam a nice shiny fish - he’d bring Sam the world.

Oct. 31st, 2014 07:59 pmFor those of you that go in for it - though I don't see how it can be happy, and I'm in Sam's corner here...but rather than be a Halloween Grinch, I'll play nice.( silly pictures under the cut )
Standing by - episode reaction drabble
Oct. 29th, 2014 09:03 amEpisode 4 reaction fic
It's an interesting exercise trying to find inspiration for a fic inside an episode that didn't really spark much emotion, but I eventually found my hook.
No real spoilers.
Words: 100
spnspiration bingo fill: non-linearity
Summary: Sam or Dean POV, take your pick.
*************
Standing By
You’re not ready.
Words spoken now, echoes of the past. Who knows? It all blends together, watercolours in the rain. The pain, though, that is real. Vivid.
Are you ready?
Ready for what, though, that is the question. Ready to kill a monster when you weren’t prepared to do it so many times before? The demon had the truth of it – who is the monster here, really? You feel the taint in your blood, the touch of the velvet dark that lingers.
What time is it?
Time to move – forward, backward, you circle endlessly.
Because
It’s never time to die.

E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100
Challenge word: temporary
Warnings: none (experimental?)
Summary: Playing with words – Sam and Dean.
***********
What is Sam?
a temporary measure with a gun half-cocked
a good intention but a priest defrocked
an elastic band, stretched until it snaps
a closed book inside a perfect storm
a bone of contention without a norm
What is Dean?
an open invitation with a folded map
a frayed bootstrap, a simple mishap
a main attraction, a man of action
an unknown soldier without a guide
a gentle declension, a downward slide
Alone, out of synch, attrition wears them down.
Waves rise, winds howl, one of them will drown.
United they are mighty, a warrior family.
Together they are Winchesters.
***********
If anyone feels in the mood to concrit, feel free because I'm still not comfortable with it (mostly the last part I think) so would welcome thoughts.

Breathing in, Bleeding out
Sep. 9th, 2014 09:46 amBreathing in, Bleeding Out
Sam: It’s too hard, too much
You push, you pull, you never let go
And the pressure of your love weighs heavy
So I can’t breathe
In
Dean: I try hard, too much
I know, I feel, I can’t ever stop
And the pressure of my love cuts deep
So all I do is bleed
Out
Sam: I went away, I even died
I ran, I cried, I never looked back
But you followed me wherever I went
Made me breathe
In
Dean: I died for you, I lied to you
I pushed, I pulled, I never let go
But I ran onto your knife, let you stab me deep
Until my heart bled
Out
Breathing in, bleeding out.

E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100
Challenge word: stone
Warnings: none
Summary: A kind of time stamp to my Demon!Dean fic Allotropes of Sulphur. Living in the Bunker with Crowley’s head and a brother who is also a demon is a rather interesting experience for Sam.
***********
Life as a severed head must be frustrating, but frankly, if the former King of Hell’s suffering, that’s fine by Sam. What isn’t fine is Crowley recreating Hell by never. Stopping. Talking.
Throwing blankets over him only causes Crowley to complain (at length) he’s not a bloody parrot.
Dean finds a solution in the vaults.
“Must suck being the only head here, huh? Don’t worry, I’ve found you the perfect girlfriend. Seems her name’s Medusa, she was quite a looker in her day…”
The threat of being turned into stone is enough to guarantee peace – for a while at least.

New t shirt design
Mar. 23rd, 2014 08:42 pmI've entered two into the official SPN competition but then I had another idea so I thought I might as well get it loaded onto Redubble anyway. It's here if anyone is interested.
The symbols are a brush and I cannot for the life of me remember where I downloaded that set from - which is really bad because they are beautful brushes. If anyone recognises them do let me know so I can credit.
Sam's chin came out rather large but otherwise I was quite pleased with how this turned out.
Concrit is ALWAYS welcome!
