Title: Away With Us
Characters/pairing: Dean, Sam, Cas, Gilda, Cain
Rating: PG-13
Warnings/contains: None
Word count: 5900
Summary: Post-S9 AU. Dean is still marked by the fae as their own, and, with the Mark of Cain gone, they begin to take an interest again. This time, he finds it harder to resist.
Notes: Incredibly belated (because that's just how me and comment memes work, apparently) response to a prompt on biketest’s Dean-centric comment meme. I wrote most of this before 9.23 aired, so it's pretty thoroughly Jossed.
Many thanks to septembers_coda for the beta! Any remaining mistakes are, of course, my own.

Rating: G

Characters/pairing: Byron, implied past Bill/Byron.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Alcohol abuse.
Summary: Mothman inspires some poetry.
Notes: Thanks to oudeteron for the beta!
Just in case you were in any doubt, this is the poem in question. I’ve fudged the timeline a little: Streetcar actually premiered in 1947, two years before the HUAC trials. Maybe it came out later in the WM universe, or something.
