    Summary

    Then he was somewhere else.
    The room was dim, orange light flickering against floral wallpaper. The air smelled of old smoke and spilled beer.
    Sam staggered, bracing himself against the wall. His boots made no sound on the carpet. He looked around, trying to orient himself—and froze.
    There was a crib in the corner.
    He knew that crib.

    Summary

    He had begged Cas to take the Mark from him.  In a moment of weakness, he had begged for a solution, for a bit of angelic power to scrub him clean and save him from a doomed fate, but Cas had only given a sad shake of his head and explained it was out of his power to do anything.  When all else had failed, Dean had hoped that Cas might have been enough, and his knees had almost buckled with cold dread when even his angel friend could do nothing.

    In a fit of barely concealed hysteria, Dean had suggested cutting out the Mark, sloughing it off his skin, but Cas had hurriedly explained that the Mark was merely a physical aspect of the curse, and cutting it off would do nothing.  It would not rid Dean of the images that tormented him, and it would not wash away the feelings of savagery Dean tried so hard to keep under wraps.

    That was when the last bit of hope Dean had clung to dissipated and he concluded he was a monster.

    Summary

    “Reminds me of hell”

    Sam nearly snaps his neck as he looks towards his brother, who had muttered the aside to Sam and was already walking away in his pursuit of their tour guide. Had he heard that right? This reminded Dean of hell? Sam looks back at the endless rows of dead flesh- what? Dean had pointedly refused to share his experiences in hell, hard-stop, and then casually drops something like that?

    Summary

    Dean and Sam Winchester roll into Blackwater expecting another routine hunt, but they soon find themselves neck-deep in a peculiar case of drownings without water. With Dean suffering strange symptoms, or perhaps just being his usual bullheaded self, and Sam unraveling the town's eerie past, the brothers confront the supernatural aftermath of a town's dabbling with the forces of lore and legend while navigating spaghetti junctions of tentacles and red herrings. As reality warps and nautical jargon inexplicably becomes their new normal, Dean and Sam must navigate both their own history and the ancient evils lurking beneath Blackwater's surface. Can they untangle this curse before it drags them under? "The Shipstorm" blends dark humour with supernatural suspense in a story where nothing is quite what it seems.

    It's been a very long time since I wrote a supernatural fic- but thought it was about time I did since I haven't been able to find what I've intended to write here for a good long time- a classic, in character, gen casefic with a healthy amount of Dean whump- basically the kind of fic that got me into the fandom in the first place. I hope someone else is looking for this, too!
