    Summary

    Javert turned slightly, preparing to leave.

    But his feet refused to move. A flicker of memory stopped him - of one night of the past summer, at the barricade - that night something cracked within him, though he still couldn’t name it. Now, standing over the same man, he felt the fissure widen.

    It was infuriating how the past refused to stay buried.

    ***

    After the June rebellion, Javert makes an attempt to return to his normal life. Fate has other plans.

    Summary

    “Sammy,” his father breathes, the word trembling with horror yet still somehow managing to travel to the other side of the farmhouse, where it burrows deep into Sam’s brain and heart. “Your… your eyes.”

    Sam jerks back in surprise, glancing around until he catches a glimpse of a metal hook, hanging right by his head. He peers at it, trying to make out his warped reflection in the dull meta—

    No.

    Oh, God, no.

    Sam raises a trembling hand to his face, trailing it towards the pools of inky darkness where his eyes should be, shifting and swirling with depth like a nest of shadows. The sight of it is so—so monstrous, so wrong, and Sam can’t even recognise himself in it.

    This can’t—this can’t be real.

    As he stares at the monster wearing his face, not even daring to blink, the darkness leaks out of his eyes, leaving their normal hazel. But even in the absence of that otherworldly blackness, he can still see it, the monster, lurking behind a young face and innocent eyes.


    Sam's powers manifest earlier. John doesn't take too kindly to it.

    Summary

    “I have a mission from God for you,” the Angel whispers to the man. “It is time for you to do what you were born to.”

    The man’s face twists into a smile, delighted over being chosen by Him, a purpose from God digging into his heart, carving out a place to fester.

    “Hunt.”

    ...

    05x03 AU where Zachariah is even more determined to keep the brothers apart and hunters are all too willing to take Lucifer's True Vessel off the board for good

    Summary

    Dean’s feet are too slow, take too much time to put one after the other, and by the time he gets to the station door Sam has a loaded shotgun in his hands. It looks weightless.

    The boy doesn’t hesitate. He had stopped hesitating with shots long, long ago, even before Jess. Dean had taught him well through all those years of training. Sam points it beneath his chin, fingertip curling around the trigger, and squeezes.

    The animal in Dean’s chest lets out a howl so loud and broken he doesn’t realize it’s coming from his throat. He is running, running, and as always he is too late, too fucking late.

    Or: A small exploration of Sam's experiences with blood (others and his own) and the fact that Lucifer won't let him die.

    Summary

    The only reason Sam’s upright instead of collapsed on the floor is because Dean’s got him pinned to the wall, so really, he ought to be grateful. Then again, it was Dean who broke his legs in the first place, so on second thought, maybe not.
