Big Bang Story - The Knuckles of Skinnybone Tree (Sam/Dean, NC-17)
Title: The Knuckles of Skinnybone Tree
Author: hansbekhart
Artists: clex_monkie89 and moment_of_sen
Rating: NC-17 (violence, explicit sexual content, disturbing imagery)
Summary: John Winchester walks the badlands, lost on the Path of the Dead, when he meets two mysterious men: a pair of hunters chasing the same ghost that he is, who tell him that he's wound up more than twenty years in the future. They promise to get him back to his own time - back to his young children - but refuse to tell him anything about themselves. The three men find themselves entangled with the warring spirits of the land, but John is pursued by nightmares and caught up between the two hunters, who are keeping secrets that John doesn't understand.
Notes: For the spn_j2_bigbang challenge. My thanks as always to sutlers, my two wonderful, wonderful artists and especially to essenceofmeanin, who not only gave me a title for this story, but supported me every step of the way. Couldn't have done it without you, babe! I do have some bad news - clex_monkie89's art might possibly be lost in the mail, so it will be added whenever one of us receives it, so please check back! Also, I'm back from hiatus and have internet access again, so I will be able to answer comments quickly. Thank you so much for reading!

Anyway, enough blather - thank you for listening and for reading! I hope that you enjoy reading Skinnybone as much as I enjoyed writing it.
