First off, my sincerest gratitude to the mods of spn_j2_xmas. They make the holidays wonderful, and do so much work for us to have this fun. THANK YOU. Secondly, champagne dreams and shackled kisses for my slave!fic beta team, all_the_damned, museaway, without whom I wouldn't even know where to begin, and theatregirl7299, for her speedy SPaG eye!

My lucky(??) recipient this year is the lovely vyperdd, who--funnily enough--drew my name last year! So I get to return the favor. :D I gave the slave!fic prompt a try, which I've never done before, and it spawned something that has the possibility to become a 'verse, so we shall see! I hope I melded a few of your 'likes' with my particular proclivities, and came up with something you'll dig, dear vyperdd!

Title: A Slave in Winter
Pairing/Characters: J2
Word count/Medium: ~3500
Rating: R
Warnings: human slavery, suggestions of dubious consent
Summary: based on the prompt "Something set in an AU 'verse full of magic (both dark & white) and slavery where Sam/Jared is hunted by both sides. One wants to enslave him, the other wants him as a ritual sacrifice. Dean/Jensen offers him sanctuary." My wee fic incorporates snippets of many of these things...

( Jared firmly believed that if you planned to be lucky, sometimes you were...Collapse )

Okay, I'm kinda addicted to this AU. It's alternatingly grim and heartening and sad and hopeful. It's not for the faint of heart. freac_camp Ladies, you kill it.


( You okay, Sammy?Collapse )

obstinatrix is the worst distraction EVAR. She will throw notions out into the twitterverse and sometimes I am powerless to resist. *shakes fist* At least I didn't spend much time on this, and I need to draw more and some days, you just have to do a warm-up doodle. Will do Sammy and Cas and whomever next; what period clothing would you dig to see them in, hhhmmmm?

Dean ref: a dozen different screen caps

And there you have it! Now on to more important things...like Big Bangs...
