Title: In This Depression
Author: badbastion
Characters: Sam & Dean
Spoilers: S8
Rating: PG
Warnings/Content: depression, angst, reference to canon character death
Misc: ~1300 words. Kind of a coda to 8.19. Posting for Eight Days of Wincest Challenge. This fic is Sam&Dean gen.
Summary: I started writing this after “Goodbye Stranger,” and just finished it. Season 8 was Season 8, with all its flaws and grace notes, but I always wished they’d explore Dean’s depression, and they never really dealt with it. So I did, for just a little while.


And I've always been strong, but I've never felt so weak
And all my prayers have gone for nothing
I've been without love, but never forsaken
Now the morning sun, the morning sun is breaking
--Bruce Springsteen, This Depression

( I've had my faith shaken )

I may or may not be biting off more than I can chew! I've already signed up for the wincest_bigbang (here) and the sastiel_bigbang (here) and I'm considering the samdean_otp minibang and maybe a reversebang or rarepair thing if that pops up too. @_@ This fandom is nuts, lol. Aaaand if some Hannibal thing pops up, I don't know if I'll be able to resist!

(A Very) Sastiel & Mishalecki Fic/Art Meme!

Can't wait for December? Want more Sassy but not looking to commit to a Big Bang? If so, get your gears on and join in the fun in this Sastiel and Mishalecki fic/art meme!

*phew* That's a lotta art! Maybe one day I should try to fic on a minibang or something, haha. NOT TODAY! I hope I'll get to work with some of you :D

I am super super lucky, because fantamae recorded my very first SPN fic And you would be a fool, a fic I wrote with such gleeeee, and have such loving memories of. And she did such an amazing job of it! :o I love it so much :D She makes it so FUN, I just keep listening to it. I'm so excited about this :D
