Maygra's Musings

I am writing at a snail's pace and ultimately frustrated that it's taking me so long to finish my Sweet Charity fics - clinching at the finish line, as it were. *sigh*.

But other people, marvelous, clever people, do not have the same problem so life is still good.

From Barb, the irrepressible eighth_horizon, comes my birthday present, but lucky for you all, it's completely shareable. Salvation'verse, caught between Open Doors and Salvation (Which in my head starts when Sam and Sarah marry, but that's just me.)

Small Town, Big Hell (light NC17, Sam/Sarah/Dean) is an awesome case story even without the rest, but it's also the tale of how Sarah Blake came back into the boys' lives, not quite by accident. Wherein Dean is an awesome big brother, and Sam is so very Sam, and Sarah proves she was Winchester from the start even if she didn't get the last name until much later. ( baby cut for story spoilers )

And if that isn't enough to make your day shiny, then destina's Amidst The Wars of Elements (PG, Dean/Sam) just might. This is a gorgeously evocative short piece, a fix for 3:16 - No Rest for the Wicked, in which Des manages to bring both the horror of the culmination of Dean's deal and the inevitability of Sam's hope together in a story that is painful and breathtaking. The details; tiny, pass-me-by details, are what clinches this story for me, a slow build to something both terrible and possible.

( and another cut because I have words to say about Destina's writing. )

Just a note, there be spoilers for the ep, but I talk about the previews in another post.

Lex Domicilii
By Maygra

PG, Sarah, Dean, Sam.

Salvation 'verse. Somewhere close to Sam and Sarah's tenth wedding anniversary. I have no other excuse other than, when you stop and think about it, being married to a Winchester would be terrifying in its own way. References to events mentioned but not explored and Sam's brief, if spectacular, career as a prosecuting attorney for the DA's office. Warning: I'm not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV.

OCD in the key of Sam
by Maygra

Dean/Sam, NC17. sex and plot not in equal measure. also, tattoos with no explanation.

3220 words

Dean's a little obsessed with Sam, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.


with a nod to Stele3's, the world's a small child in the dark, which is neither prequel nor parallel to this but definitely inspired it.


I could save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Maybe I could save the world

And I must enter again the round
Zion of the water bead
And the synagogue of the ear of corn
Shall I let pray the shadow of a sound
Or sow my salt seed
In the least valley of sackcloth to mourn

Too Much to Know
By Maygra

A Salvation verse snippet by request of dolmir_k, for Leigh and Sam when Leigh is a little older. Not entirely happy, a rite of passage for one of the Winchester girls. Vague companion piece to Rock of Ages.

A Year and a Day - part seventeen
by Maygra

Dean, Sam, Bobby, possibly Dean/Sam.
R overall
WIP

Head's up: Likely to come a little slower because of, you know, having to work and stuff during the week.

Notes: I'm inflicting a WIP on you all, because I'm having a hell of time getting my word count out and thus, feel the need to put it out there as an impetus to finish.

Summary: Breaking the deal Dean made was always a given. How Sam would do it, not so much.


I don't know anymore
What it's for
I'm not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
'cause I been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you're not even sure what it's for
Any more than me
