Dean's pov during s3.  Brotherly love.

I am pretty happy with this, if only people would read it!
It is highly theological in nature, and features Dean and Ruby.
It also has a Great Soundtrack!  Again, feel free to request the cd.
Originally conceived as a rewrite of the fairy tale, "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," which is one of my favorites.

SO THAT IS MY 2008 IN REVIEW.  A dozen cool metas on a variety of topics, plus NINE stories ranging from Drabble #1 to my 12000 words.  I'm pretty happy with this! 

Thanks SO VERY MUCH to betas and to everyone who took the time to comment --
and thanks in general to the lovely internetz and the awesome SPN fandom -- you all rock!
