    Summary

    ‘John Winchester knelt before his four-year old son, heart pounding. "Dean, where's your brother? Where's Sammy?" He asked desperately, grasping the scorched blue baby blanket in his hand as his house burned down behind him. "Who's Sammy?" The tearful child replied in confusion. Gabriel watched, invisible to them, the sleeping infant safe in his arms...’

    Dean Winchester is a hell of a hunter, but everyone knows he's a little standoffish, a little cold. Until the night a young, shaggy-haired stranger saves him from a demon attack, leaving behind nothing but an alias, a funny looking blade, and a lot of questions.

    Sam knows the only way to save the people he loves is to stay far away from them. He knows in the other timeline he ruined everything. This new life that Gabriel created is so much better for everyone. Even if it means he can never be Sam Winchester, can never be Dean's brother.

    As events and memories start to echo across to the new timeline, Sam has to face who he really is and Dean has to choose who he becomes.

    Exploring dropped plotlines, saving under-utilized characters, and all the chick flick moments.

    Summary

    The fire was only the beginning.

    Dean Winchester is four years old when his world burns down in Lawrence. With Mary and John gone, he clings to baby Sam like the last piece of family left to him. Foster homes, cold nights, and whispered promises carve Dean into something far too sharp for a child his age—but nothing can stop him from swearing to protect his little brother.

    By eight, Dean has already picked up salt and Latin, chasing shadows through the dark. But when a hunt goes wrong and Sam is left standing alone over his brother’s pyre, the youngest Winchester is forced to grow teeth far too early.

    Survival turns into hunting, grief into determination. And when Sam crosses paths with a Trickster who should be nothing more than a monster, the lines between fate and family blur. For the first time, Gabriel hesitates.

    Because the boy in front of him isn’t just another human. He’s a child forged in fire and grief—and he looks a little too much like destiny.

    Summary

    Come evening, once everyone else has retired for the night and the bunker has turned still and calm, Sam finds himself laying salt in the doorways. Taking stock of the weapons in the trunk of the Impala. Touching up the various wardings they have hidden around, too.

    This, he’s aware as he’s doing it, isn’t normal behaviour.

    Summary

    Bertrand is continually surprised by how Lemony Snicket can be as paranoid, as unwilling to share any part of himself as he is, and also say everything he says so bluntly. He is curled up in the armchair next to Bertrand, and he has just said, “Do you know, I hated you before I ever met you. I thought you were extremely stupid.”
