So, here was are, 2026. 2025 kicked us in the non-existent nuts(adapted from my sister yelling, "suck my non-existent dick!" when she got pissed off--in our late teens, early twenties, we thought it was pretty hysterical.) But yeah, nuts. We lost a wonderful, wonderful person, a fabulous writer and the kindest person you'd ever want to know. Carole, firesign10, died in December--unexpected and totally devastating. She wrote a ton of amazing fic, published terrific work under Ellis Colton (check Amazon), and she was an absolute wizard of SPN lore. We really lost a lot when we lost her. And I lost a person that I could text or DM and talk shit when I felt like it. She always let me drag Danneel's taste in clothing and I appreciated that.

So, yeah, 2026 and I'm discovering that aging really kicks you in...the ass. And other body parts. I've had some minor but painful things to take care of. My mind says, "hey cutie, you're just in your late 30s," but my body says, "Bitch, you old as shit." And I'm racing to finish fic before my brain loses it's get up and go--I can tell the difference in writing back in the day and writing now. Doesn't matter, I'm trying my hand at the BB one last time. And I'm going to talk about it here because really, who's listening? I mean, except for you, gingersnap1224. 😆

So, I'll be whining and complaining and possibly spoiling my fic which I know we're not supposed to do, but really? I think those days are gone. And it'll be a damn miracle if I finish. And speaking of finish, 1, maybe 2 chapters before we finally reach the end of Small Dark Place--woooot!

I wish for once I'd look a little less murdery, but there you have it. I was gifted a dream come true. 😊😍

LJ reminded me I've had this journal for 21 years--what the fuck!! That's crazy, whole children have been born and became adults whilst I knitted cozy little fandom porn!

Now I'm kind of sorry that I didn't try harder to create a work for the BB. If I had to pick a story to go out on, it wouldn't have been Meadowlark, no matter how much I liked it. I think it would have been the vampire boys trilogy. I'm finishing up Small Dark Place, and if I have any juice left, I want to write a Cowboy Witch Winchester, based on Petite Madam's wonderful art. I mean, look at this, how could you not want to know more? 😄

Summary: Notes: This was the first time I did a reverse bang, and it was terrifying! It was doubly terrifying because I'm not a horror writer, but I did my best.

Thanks so much to Yoann for not only producing the coolest art (I fell in love with it at first sight!) but holding my hand when I freaked out, and giving me excellent ideas as well! Huge thanks also to firesign10 for a thoughtful and thorough beta, as always. You are a treasure, my dear! Any mistakes you find are a result of me poking and tweaking things post beta.

And enteselene, thank you so much for running this, and for encouraging me to try. It was definitely an experience, and I'm glad I pushed myself.

I think this one is my last bang. I sweat blood and bullets trying to get this out. It was an agonizing pulling of ideas out onto the page, so to speak, interspersed (very rarely) with bits that flowed like honey and momentarily made me forget how bad I've gotten at all this. I live for those moments where it comes like it used to, where it's just fun and thrilling to watch the words build themselves into an interesting new world. Yer Mother is sad about it but also knows when to fold her tents and steal away into the night. Mind you, I'm not really going anywhere--I've got a WIP to finish, and a million stories to read. When I read one that grabs me by the throat, I'll be sure to share.

As for this Eldritch bang, weeeelllll...it's not super spooky, but I hope it's going to be a fun read. Watch this space for fic I made for the amazing art prompt, and the Eldritch Reverse Bang collection at AO3 for more! There are some *excellent* fics being posted there now.

I know! More gen! But I read this, and my eyeballs ran like rivers. It feels so much like canon Dean, and we get a wonderful snapshot of canon Sam a well. I can totally believe that this was baby Sam life before That Night. I can totally believe that this was Dean trying to keep his nose above water.
