Author:

zubeneschamali
Rating: PG-13 (language)
Category:  Gen
Characters:  Dean, Sam
Timeline: Early S2, between "The Usual Suspects" and "Croatoan"
Summary: "For you or Dad, the things I'm willing to do or kill, it scares me sometimes." Even after rescuing Dean, a hunt gone bad still isn't over for Sam.

Disclaimer:  Not mine, but I can still have fun with them!

A/N: This was written for the

spn_summergen challenge for

mikiya2200 . I took the prompt more as a point of departure than a strict guideline: "The unthinkable happens: The Impala runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere and the boys have to spend the night in/on/next to it." Many thanks to

rinkle for beta reading. The title is from Bruce Springsteen's "Blood Brothers".

Title: Devils and Dust
Author: Zubeneschamali
Rating: PG-13 (language)
Summary: If this one wrong could be made something close to right, then he could believe there might be a way to save everyone else. Tag scene to "Lucifer Rising."

Disclaimer: Not mine, but now I'm more willing to leave them in Kripke's hands than I have been since, oh, I don't know, the start of this season.

A/N: So is it bad form to answer your own prompt for a challenge that hasn't officially started yet? Yeah, I thought so. This is unbetaed in an attempt to appease the plot bunny that attached itself to my ankle this afternoon and wouldn't let go, which can be really awkward when you're in the middle of a Target store.

Title: Final Straw
Author: Zubeneschamali
Rating: PG-13 (language, violence)
Summary: As hard as he tried, Dean couldn't erase the fact that it was his little brother he was preparing to shoot. Evil!Sam, captive!Dean, and the end of the world as we know it.
Spoilers: Through 4.14, "Sex and Violence", and AU after that

A/N: Never thought I'd write an evil!Sam story, but a single line of dialogue popped into my head, and 30,000 words later, here we are. The story title and lyrics with all their foreshadowy goodness come from the song of the same name by R.E.M. I owe ster1 big time for her freakin' awesome beta reading and for asking me lots of hard questions that led to a better story. Thanks also to Kasman for being the guinea pig and helping with the details. You both rock.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Winchesters or Castiel; they're the property of Eric Kripke and the CW folks. Nor do I own Lilith or Lucifer, but I'm pretty sure Kripke doesn't, either. At least I hope not.

Bonus disclaimer: I know there's a lot of fics about The End out there, and I can point to "What If" by SavingFaith and "War Zone" by darksupernatural as two (great) stories that definitely inspired me. I have not yet read SavingFaith's "Losing My Religion", so any similarities between my story and hers are a really big coincidence. No infringement is intended of either story or any others on a similar theme. Also, note the lack of a deathfic disclaimer.

Title: Devil's Arcade
Author: Zubeneschamali
Rating: R (violence, language)
Summary: While still dealing with the aftermath of the wishing well, Sam and Dean are taken by a group of hunters who will stop at nothing to find out the truth about Sam's abilities and how Dean managed to come back from the dead.

Spoilers: Takes place after 4.08, "Wishful Thinking," with spoilers up to and including 4.10, "Heaven and Hell."

Disclaimer: Dude, if they were mine, the back seat of the Impala would have been put to use much earlier than the tenth episode of the fourth season. Sheesh.

A/N: This is the product of my successful 2008 NaNoWriMo attempt (which gives you an idea of how long this is...). Despite the eps that aired as I was writing it, I think it's still in canon if the reader cuts me some slack. The title is from Bruce Springsteen's beautiful song of the same name, and a soundtrack is provided throughout the story. Many thanks to DreamBrother for beta reading.

oooooooooooooooo

You said heroes are needed, so heroes get made
Somebody made a bet, somebody paid
--Bruce Springsteen, "Devil's Arcade"
