Rating: NC-17
Summary: "Nothing counts so much as blood, the rest are just strangers." So said John Winchester, and his boys took it to heart. After the Civil War, and years spent as a law man and gunslinger, Dean just wants to settle down, and build a peaceful life and a home with his brothers Bobby and Adam, even the black sheep of the family, Sam, if he can persuade him. Tombstone, queen of the boom towns, seems like a great place to do it. (Western AU, inspired by the Wyatt Earp/Gunfight at the OK Corral mythos.)
Author's Notes: Inspired by Supernatural (Eric Kripke, CW, 2005-11); and by the films My Darling Clementine (1946), Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957), Hour of the Gun (1967), Tombstone (1993), and Wyatt Earp (1994); and by the book Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal (Stuart N Lake, 1929). Characters, scenarios, and quotations used with love, for fun, and not for profit.
I can't encourage you strongly enough to go and savour the wonderful pieces cybel made for me to illustrate this story. She excelled every expectation I ever could have had, and several more I didn't think of. Please leave feedback for her at her journal. She was definitely the Vessel of Michael in this partnership, while I, sadly, attended the prom with Lucifer.
