Read Any Good Fic Lately?

SPN REC: Crossroad Dirt by Killa

you may have noticed that I am rarely at a loss for words...however:

Crossroad Dirt (links to her journal then to her website)
Author: Killa
Rating: PG13
Characters: Sam, Dean, and John
Genre: Gen
Words: 26,658

I am actually kind of incoherent about this story -- I mean, I just don't even have words.

Seriously. It's an AU split from the end of Season One, it's John, Dean and Sam and a lovely and understated OFC. It has ripped my heart out and yet makes such perfect logical and emotional sense.

There's the aftermath of the encounter with the Demon, there's a seriously injured Dean, there's the persistence of Sam's visions -- there are reconcillations and understanding, there is gratitude and grief.

Killa is a phenomenally gifted writer, whom I've been reading for years. She's got a wonderful sense of character and realtionships and the emotional underpinnings to those relationships.

I may actually never watch SPN again, because this (and the half-promised sequel) could very well be a definitive version of what happens, and I don't say that lightly.

It's lengthy, so make sure you have time to read it. You will not regret it.
