Notes/Disclaimers/Summary: This series of stories, ficlets and drabbles featuring the Impala and the Women of Supernatural are being posted as part of the 42 Days of Metallicar, hosted by alias_chick . This is a work of transformative fiction and is not for profit. Thanks todavincis_girl  for the helpful read through!

If you read my journal, you might think this story takes place in a real-life campground I visited earlier this spring, with my son, who was bitten by a copperhead (and made a full recovery, thank goodness) but no.  It is just a story, featuring a few details of the real-life events, for purposes of fun.

More about Kat in the s7 era in the story "His Very Absence"

Summary: Kat didn't set out to become a Hunter, but when she stumbled across a monster this big, she had to call for help.  That's how she ended up on her first hunt, as backup to the fabled Wincesters, the very summer after they triggered the Apocalypse.

I was reading this Awesome Story, "Take the Good, Take the Bad," by a_cook1 , when it transpired that Dean was once called "Blair" by a Big Angry Guy. Wheels immediately began to turn in my fannish brain, as I was a big Sentinel lurker back in the day.

So this is the little ficlet that developed. It is in no way as awesome or as HOT as a_cook1's!! but I tried to keep Dean in the character she developed, and I think I did right by Jim Ellison. John Winchester is also in the story, and the Real Blair Sandburg makes a cameo appearance.

PAIRING:  Jim Ellison/Dean Winchester
RATING:  Adult!
DISCLAIMER:  I do not own.  No money made.
THANKS: to a_cook1 for graciously giving me the nod after I was inspired by her story.  It's not exactly what she had in mind, but I think it works!  You do not need to read her story to understand mine (mine is a prequel) but I definitely recommend it (it comes with its own warnings).
FEEDBACK IS SO APPRECIATED, especially if you are a Sentinel fan!  :)

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!

DANCERS AT THE LAKE "soundtrack"

This is what happens when fairy tales, theology and angsty songs mingle in fannishliss's hiatus-crazed brain.

As a musician, I have mixed feelings when it comes to filesharing, but I do encourage you to listen to any of these songs that catch your eye -- they are all super favorites of mine and highly recommended!

I figure most of these songs are available to listen to somewhere on the web-- for example, the Shriekback songs (my favorite band from the 80s) are available on Rhapsody. These are just the angsty lyrical excerpts that are particularly relevant to my story to be posted soon-- not spoilery, but moodsetting.

Lyrical Excerpts from songs  by Everlast, Keane, Death Cab, Nick Cave, Robert Plant, Robbie Robertson, Led Zeppelin, Tracy Bonham, Shriekback, Hildegard of Bingen, the Cardigans, and Odetta!
