Huge thanks to Wendy for running the legend that is spn-j2bigbang, again this year.
Many thanks to my many helpers who kept me on track, waved pom poms and made suggestions, including Fufaraw, Meus-Venator, SylsDarkPlace, Merenwen. Special thanks to Wendy, Neal and Anne at Berwick Writers' Workshop who help me along without a single judgement about the content I write.
What a traumatic year it has been, the last season of Supernatural and so much worse. This little corner of fandom at least allows me an alternative world where the only thing I have to worry about is whether two beautiful boys can get together in the end! I hope it provides some shelter for others too.
Usual disclaimer: This isn't real. It isn't for profit. The boys are not mine but I borrow their fanon facsimiles. The story copyright IS mine. Please do not reproduce, repost, translate or claim any part without my permission.
