Spoilers: general for first half of S9
Summary: AU for S9. After the Wicked Witch was dispatched, Sam and Dean decided it would be a good idea to try mapping out the rest of the bunker. Dean never expected to find something as unreal as a hatching dragon…or that it might prove to be the answer to how to get rid of Sam's no-longer-welcome passenger.

A/N: This is my entry for the 2013 spn_reversebang. I was lucky to get in fast enough to choose a wonderful piece of art that turned out to be by lightthesparks, which made it even better! She's been great to work with and I've had a good time collaborating with her. I also owe her for the title, which is perfect for the story. One of her most excellent posters is below the cut, but you should see all of her awesome art here. Thanks also to fiercelynormal for the beta job.

Title: Slavyanka
Author: zubeneschamali
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 5,207
Summary: On their first case after Dean's return from Purgatory, Sam and Dean respond to a request from someone Bobby helped out years ago. When they find themselves in California wine country, they also find that grapes aren't the only crop growing in the Russian River valley.

A/N: I wrote this for spn_summergen last year for tesserae_ and never got around to posting it! So it's completely out of compliance with S8 canon, but that might be a feature rather than a bug, yes? Big thanks to morganoconner for the beta reading.

Title: After the Kingfisher's Wing
Author: zuben_eschamali
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 3,200
Spoilers: through the end of Season 6
Summary: If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down, these women together ought to be able to turn it right side up again.

A/N:  This piece was written for femgenficathon; I owe magisterequitum for making me aware of its existence. Go check it out, there's some great stuff there! The summary, which was also the prompt, is a quote from Sojourner Truth (could there be a more perfect prompt for SPN?). Written as a series of double-drabbles for extra fun, and no longer canon-compliant after 7.01. Thanks to dugindeep and kasman for beta reading.

After the kingfisher's wing
Has answered light to light, and is silent, the light is still
At the still point of the turning world.
--T. S. Eliot, The Four Quartets
